It's got good animation, with great character models, great scenery, great OVA 2 did have a twist that surprised me immensely though, will say that. Yurippe would go to the ends of the earth to try to unbalance the Afterlife, and these plans are no less extravagant than the ones seen in the original series. So the main question is, Did it follow the rules of the universe. Okay first of all, it's an OVA, so it won't have any real story. Last word of advice: the episodes incrementally get better, so don't worry if you're having second thoughts before the midpoint.Some people claim that Angel Beats was perfection. It's probably not so bad now, but at the time there's was just something about it that I didn't like. That and the baseball episode which I really just didn't like cause it nearly turned me away from the series. Simply because no matter how much the flaws never hindered my enjoyment, they still mean the show isn't perfect. Why won't I give the series a perfect ten. It's only thirteen episodes and I'm sure you'll find something you'll like. If you're very familiar with anime and have a higher standard, I still recommend you give this a go. So if you haven't watched much anime this is worth watching. There's really nothing else working against the series besides its length. As for other complaints made about the series, most of those don't hold much water in my opinion. Because when you have so much awesomeness going around, you barely notice until you're done crying over the last episode. No thirteen episode show should be able to bounce back and forth continuously between these different styles and genres continuously like this one does. Now here's what everyone complains about: the pacing is bad and it's too short. Couple this mind-blowing concept with some unforgettable characters, crazy amounts of action, lots of Japanese rock music, crazy gore, buckets of blood, cute comedy, seriously depressing backstories, and the most detailed cartoon guns I've ever seen and you get something that's unforgettable. He eventually joins a resistance formed by a dozen or so other fellow "students" with the goal of resisting the mysterious Angel. A guy wakes up on a school campus, which he soon discovers is something like a purgatory. Word of advice, ignore all the complaints about this show, because when there's so much about a show to hate and so much that shouldn't work, and people everywhere still love it anyways, there's definitely something special about it.

So I'm reviewing this show in terms of its quality, not how it compares or conforms to other anime.

I've watched the entirety of Death Note, Angel Beats, and am in the middle of Sword Art Online.

Before I begin I must clarify something: I am not very familiar with anime.
