My most anticipated series of spring is here! I looked forward to Angel Beats! mostly because of Key, ahaha~ So far it looks pretty good. The art, animation, and music is nice. I hope the story won’t be a disappointment. =) (But I’m sad that this episode didn’t come with an opening sequence T.T)

Heavy screencap spam after the cut.

Our protagonist, Otonashi, (voiced by the awesome Hiroshi Kamiya~) wakes up in the afterlife, so he had died before.

I don’t really have much to say about him after seeing this episode. But Hiroshi Kamiya voicing him is love~ <3

Everyone keeps on saying how Yuri is like a Haruhi clone, and it’s just really irritating to keep on hearing that. I can definitely see the Haruhi-ness in her, but she is not quite like Haruhi either.

Her seiyuu is Harumi Sakurai (who also voices Saya Tokido in Little Busters! Ex under the name Kazane).

Also, this series gives out strange names. >_>

Tenshi/Angel (depending on how you want to call her, but I will call her Tenshi for now) voiced by Kana Hanazawa. She is mysterious and emotionless, similar to Yuki as people have said before.

Oh wow, and he just walks away…

Now I wonder why she is called “Angel”. She is called Tenshi among the SSS members, but she isn’t an actual angel?

Watch what you say in front of Tenshi XD;

Hand Sonic (looks like those Umineko hand-sword things)

Saw this scene in the promo video, and now I realized that most of the stuff that appears in the promo video will happen in the first episode. I thought that this would happen later. XD;

And before you know it, you get hit XP

Bloooooooooood 8D

It’s the idiot halberd guy! (who seems to really admire Yuri)

THE HIT COUNTER! Clannad viewers would definitely remember the Tomoyo kick counter.

Die die die die die die die die die die die die die! >83

100 hits send him flying! XDDDDDD

And he falls to the ground, but he doesn’t die. X3

MOAR BLOOD >8D

But that is quite a lot of blood. Does someone actually clean it up?

Try to walk into the “principal’s office” unprepared and you will find yourself flying through the air! Looks like fun! >w<b

Yuri looks very boss-ish as she ask for new name suggestions.

Stupid suggestions will earn you a slap in the face! XDDD

The SSS sure come up with weird things. Barnacles, really?

It’s the idiot halberd guy again!

Someone just got PWNED!!!

Now for SSS member introductions:

Like we didn’t already know. >_>

Hinata-kun! One of the idiots! X3

…those are my initials…

Nice description >w<b (but I will probably keep on calling him the “idiot halberd guy” because I will pretty much forget everyone’s names ^^;)

My friend likes her the best simply because she is so ninja.

SSS: Shinda Sekai Sensen. (No, it is not the SOS Brigade parody many think)

So now the world is like a game? lol

That was just so random. WTF

Pretty blue screen~

It’s like with the barnacles again!

Yeah…I didn’t really get why they wanted to steal meal tickets. =P

Yusa! (Yui Makino!)

Yui cameo! (Eri Kitamura)

Girls Dead Monster members: Sekine, Hisako, Iwasawa, Irie (from left to right)

The concert scene had nice animation, but the song was just…okay. I didn’t really find it catchy, unfortunately.

I spy a Tenshi >.>

So pretty much everyone is fine if they get hurt, as shown already. (This is just a scratch!) @_@ The way Tenshi’s hand looks here bugs me.

Hand Sonic appears again!

And it can reflect bullets too!

Creepy eye… (I thought of Koromo from Saki XD;)

“Guard Skill: Distortion”

She even has her own shield. Not only can she (probably) not die, but she can prevent herself from getting hit. asdlkfjlaksjdf

So pretty~ But shiny meal tickets? o.O

And we end the episode with them…eating.

The preview doesn’t have any clips for us to see; we only get dialog. Can’t wait for the next episode and hopefully it will come with an opening sequence. >:3

I would had gotten this post out earlier, but I was just extremely lazy from 1) being on spring break (which is already ending now TT__TT) and 2) my absence from blogging. The good thing is that I can blog Angel Beats! during the weekend when I won’t be busy like during the weekdays in school. But I will try to use less screencaps as you can already see that I took too many. ^^;
