Angel Beats!
Pros
• Angel Beats! was one of the first anime I watched and was honestly a great experience for me as someone just getting into anime.
(Development And Momentum)
• It does everything that a good story and show should do. Throughout the 12 episodes, you get amazing character development for the main cast. And that character development is perfectly placed so it really puts momentum into the overall story and plot.
(Emotional Rollercoaster)
• Angel Beats! is something that can pull you to complete opposite sides of the emotional spectrum. Some episodes you can be laughing so hard to the point that you might suffocate, whether that be from the awkward situations or just the strange humor. But then, on the other hand, the deeper you get into the story the more apparent it is that it's a very sad anime. On the ladder half of the anime and specifically the final episodes you can find yourself crying like never before. It really gives you a great mix of emotions through its story, and how it tells it.
(Great Entry Into Anime)
• As I said before, Angel Beats! is a great entry into Anime, it doesn't play too much on the annoying tropes that much modern and old anime play on. But it also gives you a deeper appreciation for what anime can make people feel and how there are storytelling masterpieces out there for you to watch.
Cons
_(More Characters Could've Been Developed) _
• One thing that I think could've done a bit better was given you more backstory for more of the characters that weren't part of the main cast. This was definitely a flaw because I think many people, not just myself feel that so many of the other characters inside of Angel Beats! could've had amazing stories to be told which would give the anime an even more touching story. This is because I feel that when an anime is able to have many characters and many experiences more people can come to the show and find something to relate to which is something so important to the enjoyment or understanding of a story.
(More Episodes Could've Been Nice)
• Though the number of episodes was enough time to make the show great and tell the story I just felt so empty after I finished it to the point where I feel that it could've used a couple more episodes to the main story.
