Angel Beats! is a franchise consisting of a thirteen-episode anime (plus two OVAs and a short epilogue), four manga, a Light Novel (adapted into one of the manga) and a Visual Novel by Key/Visual Arts. Jun Maeda, co-founder of Key/Visual Arts and scenario writer of many of the company's previous works, has conceived and written all of the installments in the series.In the anime, simply entitled Angel Beats!, our viewpoint character, high-school-aged Otonashi wakes up suddenly to find that he can't remember anything, not even his full name. Before he even has time to get his bearings, a purple-haired girl with a sniper rifle informs him that he is dead and asks him to join her rebellion against God... but God is nowhere to be seen.The world they are in seems like an enormous Japanese boarding school populated by soulless, though realistic and harmless, NPCs who act like ordinary students and faculty. The only apparent enemy of the self-named Shinda Sekai Sensen (Afterlife Battlefront) is the student council president, a short, white-haired girl they call Tenshi (Angel), who wields supernatural powers in an effort to force the SSS to behave like the normal students. Every real person who has submitted to this behavior has disappeared forever, so the SSS members are understandably unwilling. The Angel Beats! anime is the story of Otonashi's time in this strange afterlife, as he learns about his situation, interacts with the others in the SSS and Angel, waits to regain his memories, and decides what to do after he does.The light novel serves as a prequel to the anime and follows the character Hinata and the formation of the SSS. Titled Angel Beats! Track Zero (November 2009-May 2010), it was written by Jun Maeda and illustrated by GotoP, and published by ASCII Media Works in Dengeki G's Magazine.Two Yonkoma manga under the title Angel Beats! The 4-koma (December 2009-October 2013, December 2013-January 2016) followed. They were, again, written by Jun Maeda and illustrated by Haruka Komowata, and published by ASCII Media Works in Dengeki G's Magazine.The anime, directed by Seiji Kishi for studio P. A. Works, began airing in Spring 2010. Included with the seventh and final BD/DVD volume was an OVA entitled "Stairway to Heaven" and a brief alternate ending entitled "Another Epilogue". A second OVA, "Hell's Kitchen", was released in June 2015. The OVAs take place between episodes 4 and 5 and episodes 2 and 3, respectively.Another manga (May 2010 - October 2016) was published, adapting and continuing the story of the Track Zero Light Novel. This manga, Angel Beats! Heaven's Door, was illustrated by Yuriko Asami, and once again published by ASCII Media Works in Dengeki G's Magazine and, later, Dengeki G's Comic. Seven Seas Entertainment is releasing the manga in North America.Another manga, Angel Beats! The Last Operation, began in 2017. Yuriko Asami returned as illustrator for the manga, which is described as the "True Angel Beats! [Maeda] wanted to write".A six volume Visual Novel adaption was anounced and promised to feature more of the Angel Beats! universe that couldn't be crammed into the other works. Angel Beats! -1st beat-, the first volume, was released on June 26, 2015 for Windows PC. It covers up to the tenth episode of the anime as well as Yui's, Iwasawa's, and Matsushita's routes with Otonashi as the main protagonist. In December 2016, Maeda revealed that subsequent volumes had been cancelled, with the content that had been planned for future games used as a basis for the manga Angel Beats! The Last Operation.The TV series is licensed by Sentai Filmworks for the North American release. No surprise, considering that they've picked up many Key titles in the past. The series was released with an English dub on DVD in July 2011. The first episodes were first shown at Anime Boston. Can be viewed on the Anime Network and Crunchyroll.For any character-related tropes, please see the characters page.

Suplex Finisher: Becomes the basis of an entire episode where Yui mentions that performing one of these was one of her life's wishes when she was alive, but could never do it. So to fulfill that wish, Otonashi trains her in how to do it right so she can perform it on him. She succeeds!

 Angel Beats! / int_19ebe383
comment
Never Trust a Trailer: The next episode previews just consist of a white screen with random lines from the next episode flying by. The lines are quite out of context so deducting any clues about the plot of the next episode from this is next to impossible. On top of that, every Monday the online preview adds short, half-second clips from the next episode. This can answer some questions, but often raises many more.

Say My Name: Episode 8, whenever someone in the SSS pulls a Heroic Sacrifice to stop an Angel clone, the rest of the SSS have a Say My Name shot for the character in question. Lampshaded, no less: Lampshaded hilariously during Naoi's turn, right after he hypnotizes Ooyama into thinking he's a clown and sending him to get stabbed by a Red Angel.

Multiple Endings: After the credits of the final episode, reincarnated Otonashi and Kanade are shown meeting when Otonashi hears Kanade humming Iwasawa's "My Song." A short segment entitled "Another Epilogue" replaces this scene with one depicting Otonashi still in the afterlife helping another soul discover how to move on. Strictly speaking, they aren't mutually exclusive.

Hollywood Encryption
 Angel Beats! / int_1cf08d1d
comment
Hollywood Encryption: Angel's personal computer is secured with "128-bit DES" which is hacked through without any trouble. While DES is an encryption standard infamous for being insecure, that's because of how short its key is. A version of DES that had an 128-bit key would be impossible to break with any conceivable technology. Certainly not in a few minutes with a laptop.

Not the Intended Use
 Angel Beats! / int_20e20e99
comment
Not the Intended Use: Purgatory is meant to let teens experience the school life they missed out on and pass on peacefully, but Yuri and the SSS have deliberately cultivated an environment based on not passing on even as its members were finding peace, letting them potentially exist forever in an enjoyable afterlife. This triggers in a programmed fail-safe (albeit programmed in later) to summon the shadows and triggering the final act.

comment
Chekhov's Gun: Kanade stabbing Otonashi in the 'heart' in Episode 1, combined with her hospitalisation in Episode 9. The relevance of these doesn't become clear until 5 minutes before the end of the final episode. Not to mention the heartbeat monitor on the eyecatch and the show's title itself! Also, the Ship Tease between Yui and Hinata seems like a cute background Running Gag at first... but becomes very important when his declaration of love causes her to disappear.

comment
Ordinary High-School Student: Takes on a whole new meaning in this series. The "ordinary students" are the NPCs of the school. They have no souls, acting as model students under Angel and God. The SSS are acting against Angel and God, souls intact and rebelling against what had been dealt them in their former lives. This situation is highlighted by the different uniforms between the two factions of students.

Evolving Credits
 Angel Beats! / int_3297cfbb
comment
Evolving Credits: As characters are replaced and removed through various circumstances, the OP and ED, both of which focus on showing off the characters, change accordingly to these events. When characters interact in the show in a noteworthy way, it also reflects the interaction. Examples include Yui strangling Hinata as per episode 4, and Takamatsu not wearing a shirt to show off his (surprising) 8-pack from episode 5. Some episodes don't even show the typical ending, replacing it with more footage. The 2 special episodes feature a different "To Be Continued" quote. The OVA got "BAD END" (hence how every member of the SSS went through a week without water or food and somewhat died) and Another Epilogue got "NEXT STAGE". Played for Laughs in the OVA, if you watched the OVA itself, that is.

No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup: Played with. The SSS aren't the only humans in this world. Well below the surface of the school is the Guild- hundreds of other people who happened to live their lives as common workers, but still died with the same requirements as everyone else. They're the ones who provide weapons to the SSS, being able to make them out of dirt if need be. The catch is that they can only make something that they know how to create when they were alive. They say that it's a bad idea for any of them to be killed in that world, as they risk losing knowledge of how to create those devices when they come back.

Good Is Dumb: As lampshaded by Yuri: And though it could be debated if Yuri and her Battlefront were actually "good" at the time, we find out later that Angel/Kanade too suffers from this, as if she had been better at communicating her motives, the fighting between her and Battlefront could have ended ages ago. Otonashi even calls out how completely inept both sides have been in this whole conflict.

Also, in episode 8, Yuri attempts to reprogram Angel's Harmonics technique, but has trouble because she doesn't quite understand the programming language. Remember that SSS has Takeyama, who is a master hacker and computer expert, and he doesn't even show up in the episode at all! Although Takeyama became A Twinkle in the Sky in the last episode, he was seen again during the fish barbeque, so his absence from episode 8 is even more jarring.

Break the Cutie
 Angel Beats! / int_4b316d47
comment
Break the Cutie: It seems that any cutie out there has been/will be broken by the end of the series. Yuri had her siblings killed in front of her by robbers when she was a kid. The worst part: it was Yuri's "fault" that they died because she couldn't find money in the house to give to the robbers. They probably would've killed them all regardless, but that doesn't really help Yuri's feelings of guilt. Iwasawa had an abusive Dad and generally a broken household. She found her savior in music, but that was taken away from her when her Dad hit her causing her to lose her voice and ability to play first, then die. Angel has a lesser example but her rank as Student Council President was taken away, the teachers and students have lost all respect for her, and her comfort food was taken away from her all because of the SSS's actions. It's also sad when you realize that Angel is a human like the rest of SSS and was just trying to fulfill her duties as Student Council President. Her reputation and life in the afterlife are ruined because she was trying to play by the rules. Not that her past life as Kanade Tachibana was much better. What about Yui? In her past life, she was completely paralyzed and unable to do the cool things she saw on TV, hence her boundless energy. Anyone who qualifies as a cutie in the SSS counts, given that an unhappy life is a prerequisite to arrive in this afterlife.

The entire school is a benevolent one, intended to give dead children a happy childhood to make up for their terrible lives. Once they find peace and accept their deaths, they are reincarnated.

It's All My Fault: Yuri blames herself for not being able to save her siblings. Needless to say, nobody else does. And perhaps to a lesser extent - Hinata for failing a decisive catch. Yuri again after accidentally sending Kanade into a coma by dumping 100 aggressively violent copies of herself into her mind. Otonashi after his sister's death. Difference is, it actually is his fault, even though he had good intentions at the time.

We Hardly Knew Ye

We Hardly Knew Ye: While Iwasawa was the most obvious example due to vanishing by the third episode, most of the rest of the SSS fall into this trope. For some reason, they introduce characters in the opening and episode 1. But by the time the series ends, you only get to know about half of the main cast, and they throw some more characters in later that get much more development. Characters like Shiina, Ooyama and Noda don't even get a backstory (and only bare-bones characterization), while both Yui and Naoi get much more screentime and development, even though they're introduced much later. The reason for this is most likely that the show was originally planned for 26 episodes but was then cut down to 13. The manga thankfully gives much more development to them, including rarely appearing characters like Yusa or Chaa.

Meaningful Name
 Angel Beats! / int_6bda9a30
comment
Meaningful Name: Aside from a few of the characters, the series itself. To elaborate: The finale revealed two key things: Kanade's regret tying her to the Purgatory-world was that she never got to thank Otonashi for his heart, which kept her alive. This is also true of the opening theme —My Soul, Your Beats — which alludes to the series' climax: Kanade has Otonashi's heart, and it's listening to the sound of his own heartbeat while sleeping on her chest that awakens his latent memories. Otonashi means "no sound", Yuzuru means "to string" an instrument, and "Kanade" could be read as "playing" an instrument. His little sister Hatsune's name also means "First sound". It could be said that Otonashi was an instrument that was properly strung, but could never play any sound, but Kanade finally played it. Tugging on a heart string, eh? Another piece of symbolism to "Otonashi" is simply that, lacking a heart in the literal sense, Otonashi has no heartbeat.

Idiot Ball: Even after all the time they've been fighting Angel, nobody in SSS has ever bothered trying to figure out Angel's real name. Only Yuri had apparently heard it before, but she just didn't bother trying to remember it (if you can even believe she was telling the truth about that and hadn't just heard it when Otonashi got it out of her). Also, in episode 8, Yuri attempts to reprogram Angel's Harmonics technique, but has trouble because she doesn't quite understand the programming language. Remember that SSS has Takeyama, who is a master hacker and computer expert, and he doesn't even show up in the episode at all! Although Takeyama became A Twinkle in the Sky in the last episode, he was seen again during the fish barbeque, so his absence from episode 8 is even more jarring.

Easy Logistics: It turns out people in the afterlife can literally create any item they can think of out of dirt if they can remember it well enough. With this ability, SSS was able to create a massive underground factory to manufacture their weapons and ammunition. Hilariously subverted when they try to use a large cannon on Angel, only to have it explode on them because while they may have known what a cannon looks like, they didn't know the mechanics inside it to make it work properly.

God Is Good
 Angel Beats! / int_77480c5e
comment
God Is Good: Heavily implied by The Reveal at the end of the anime about the nature of the school. While the SSS fight in the hopes of defeating the unreasonable God responsible for not doing anything about their suffering in life, it's revealed that the school is how whatever higher being that's in charge dealt with their suffering. It's meant to be a second chance in which those who arrive there can live a normal, satisfying school life. They disappear only once they've become satisfied and fulfilled the dreams that they couldn't in life. It's also revealed that God was not responsible for Angel's abilities, the software that makes said abilities and the Angel Clones, or even the Shadows that start appearing to devour souls - it was all the doing of someone in Purgatory who programmed a system using computers stolen from the school's computer lab. Also, The Stinger at the end of the anime seems to confirm that people who pass on in the school actually get resurrected or reincarnated.

Redemption Demotion
 Angel Beats! / int_7a0b9d67
comment
Redemption Demotion: Naoi goes from credible villain to yet another comic relief character when he makes his Heel–Face Turn. This is largely because his main power of hypnosis is pretty morally dubious, so he can't use it too much after his Heel–Face Turn. He's still scarily competent, to the extent that he's effectively Yuri's second-in-command, but he's not considered threatening enough to be a worse counterpart to Angel like he was before.

Not Quite the Right Thing: Otanashi's little sister was terminally ill. She wished to see the city on Christmas Eve, but the doctors wouldn't let her leave the hospital, especially considering that it was snowing outside. Otanashi decides to sneak her out himself in order to grant her her wish... and just like the doctors warned, she dies very soon, and almost certainly would have lived (even a little) longer if it wasn't for that foolish trip. Otanashi tries to convince himself that it was the right thing to do, since she died happy, but even he doesn't really believe that.

Tsundere: Yui towards Hinata. Yuri is like this for Hinata in the manga and light novel, which is the basis for much of the Ship Tease. Though to a far lesser extent, she's kinda like this to Hinata in the anime too since she picks on him more than anyone else. Without reading the manga/light novel though, most would just disregard it as him being the Butt-Monkey (which he kind of is).

comment
Symbolic Cast Fadeout: The ending theme features the cast in a crowd shot with cast members fading in separately as the song progresses, but as each character disappears (the show is set in a purgatory like high school and the characters already know they are dead and are trying not to disappear as they don't know if they reincarnate, cross over to another afterlife, or cease to be) they are removed from the ending image. The last episode after everyone has crossed over reverses this and has the ending start with a shot of the full cast with each character fading out instead of in..

World of Ham: Not 100% of the time, but still. Get enough SSS members together in the same place and ham is sure to result.

To be precise, the OVA is an Apocalypse of Ham where the characters try to out-ham each other with Tension Meter included. Shiina wins, and then everyone but Yuri loses.

Done to Hinata in Episode 7 when Naoi hypnotizes him to think he's worse than a clothespin. Surprisingly, Hilarity Ensues. Naoi attempts to do so again to Hinata in Episode 11, except this time to make him think that he is toilet paper. Fortunately, Otonashi stops him.

Wham Episode: Episode 3, where at its climax it's learned that Angel is making all of her own techniques using a special computer software program rather than having been given them from God, and Iwasawa passes on into the next life after finally fulfilling her greatest desire, the first major hint to the true nature of what's going on in Purgatory. Episode 5, in which the SSS's operation succeeds so well as to topple Angel, Angel is shown to be unambiguously a human with even her true name being revealed, and the new student council president decides to take a more active role in stopping the SSS. Episode 9 reveals Otonashi's past life. He and Kanade realize that the afterlife is meant to give people a chance to overcome their past, and they make it their goal to help people move on.

To Be Continued: Happens at the end of every episode to show some of the dialogue for the next episode.

It's implied in episode 13.5/Another Epilogue where it says "NEXT STAGE", that the series might continue and get a 2nd season. But to date, this has not been the case.

Continuity Nod: Episode 8, during the SSS's second trip to Guild, Noda dies first again and Otonashi and Yuri are the last two again. Hinata comments on how he and Yuri founded the SSS Battlefront, which is a nod to the manga/novels, given how it is not mentioned anywhere in the anime itself.

Sliding Scale of Plot Versus Characters: The show was supposed to be more character-oriented, but the reduced episode count required it to become more plot-oriented, with only a select few characters receiving proper development.

Mood Whiplash
 Angel Beats! / int_a4c37cbe
comment
Mood Whiplash: Often during a single scene. This show is notable for being one of the shows for which one can easily find themselves both laughing so hard they cry, and then genuinely crying, in short succession. In Episode 7, Otonashi's attempts to reach out to Angel and convince her to fish alongside the SSS, set to the instrumental version of "Ichiban no Takaramono," are interspersed with Angel's rather hilarious failures at fishing. Late in Episode 9, Otonashi has a heartfelt conversation with Angel about how he discovered the true meaning of his life, then gets comically annoyed with her when he realizes how utterly inept she was at communicating with everyone that finding fulfillment is the way to pass on. The scene then shifts back to seriousness when Otonashi realizes that out of everyone he knew, only Iwasawa understood the truth. Episode 10 comes to an emotional conclusion as Yui manages to pass on, but in The Stinger, the mood shifts to terrifying as the Shadows first appear.

Healing Factor: While immortal, everybody can still be seriously hurt. If they are injured or die, they will eventually heal and revive regardless of how much damage their bodies have taken. The OVA shows that they will even revive after dying of starvation or dehydration. They do still feel pain however, so this provides an incentive to stay out of harm's way.

Only Known by Their Nickname: No one seems to know what Angel's real name is. (Except, one of them actually does.) She stops getting called Angel later, though. TK. He's basically a gag character with his random english/stoner accent, and he vanishes with the rest of the SSS in episode 12 without us learning his real name.

Catchphrase: Shiina: "How foolish." (Translated to "This is so stupid" in the English dub.) Yuri: "Operation Start!" Takeyama: "Call me Christ!" Yui: "What an idiot." TK: "Get chance and luck!" The entire SSS uses "He's/she's/we're/they're morons!" pretty consistently in the English dub. May be more of a Running Gag, though.

Fate Worse than Death: SSS believes that if you conform to the rules you may get reincarnated as lowly creatures like barnacles. Also, Yuri's "punishment games". The only one we see, in the OVA, ends with all of the SSS dead of dehydration. And now getting assimilated by a Shadow NPC and being turned into an NPC, thereby being stuck in that world forever. To put it more in perspective, the SSS believes that NPCs have no souls. Therefore, being turned into one by a Shadow means that it has devoured your soul!

Offscreen Moment of Awesome: Episode 6 features the SSS getting their internal organs handed to them in an epic Curb-Stomp Battle at Naoi's hands... while we see Otonashi and Angel trying to bust down a door. Naoi only has a couple of Mooks left by the time they show up, so feel free to pretend TK beat the crap out of the rest of them. Possibly Yuri's battle with the "other" angel. Thankfully remedied in the next episode. The original Angel battling the 100 evil Angels after they all merged into her consciousness. Angel even describes the battle as epic.

Shout-Out: Episode 3 references two of Hayao Miyazaki's films, with Otonashi trying to imagine what Angel's base looks like by showing (mosaic-censored) images of the titular structures from both Laputa: Castle In The Sky and Howl's Moving Castle. The school vending machines, aside from a full line of Bland-Name Product drinks, also carry Key Coffee, bearing the studio logo. Episode 5 brings us the rocket-propelled chair as a distraction during several test sessions. Hinata gets launched twice, leading to this gem: TK seems to love referencing popular media, from two lines of song lyrics to: Also this one as mentioned in Episode 8: The title of the eighth episode is "Dancer in the Dark". In episode 10, Yui is seen to own plush toys of a brontosaurus, a small white dog, and a baby boar. All from other Key titles respectively. Episode 10's title "Goodbye Days" relates to Jpop artist YUI's song of the same name. It's sung in her movie, Taiyou no Uta, with similar implications to Angel Beats Yui's past. Both characters had an illness which contributed to their death, not living the life they wanted to. Can you guess who disappeared this episode? Episode 12 has the title, Knockin' on Heaven's Door, shouted out by TK. Even the other characters recognise it as a reference to Bob Dylan. It was also the name of the 24th episode of Neon Genesis Evangelion. Fittingly, the climax of this episode has Yurippe confronting a character voiced by Akira Ishida, voice of Kaworu Nagisa from that episode. The ending of episode 12 has been compared to The Matrix Reloaded. In Episode 3, TK says "Get chance and luck!", which is a line from one of the ending themes to City Hunter. The Baseball Episode contains a lot of shout-outs to Little Busters!, ranging from obvious ones, like Yuri's Actor Allusion Evil Laugh, to not so obvious ones, like how Hinata missing the baseball went exactly like how Haruka randomly missed a catch in practice. In Episode 7, the monster that Otonashi imagines when hearing 'Operation: Monster Stream' is a large, red, dragon-like monster, with a striking resemblance to a Rathalos At the end of the OVA bonus episode, instead of the usual "Next time," it says "BAD END". Also in Episode 13.5 (Another Epilogue) it says "NEXT STAGE" which might leave the series open for a second season. The song Highest Life, which was done when Yui took over as lead singer, has a line about how she likes to do Clapton's guitar riffs from his Cream days note with a particular fondness for the song Crossroads on nights when she can't sleep. The whole premise about people moving on to a "next level" once they work out their issues is lifted straight of Haibane Renmei. The name "Tenshi" is likely a reference to the wings that give the Haibane their angel-like appearance.

Unspoken Plan Guarantee: Zig-zagged with Otonashi and Angel's plan to lure Yui away from the rest of Girls Dead Monster by insulting her guitar playing and stealing her guitar, which they discuss on-screen. Angel follows the plan to the letter, but since the rest of the band had previously criticized Yui's poor performance, she gets depressed instead of angry, and doesn't give chase. Otonashi and Angel sneak back to the band's room, and when Yuri storms out again, she sees Angel and gives chase, enabling Angel and Otonashi to execute the second phase of their plan as they'd originally envisioned.

Otonashi means "no sound", Yuzuru means "to string" an instrument, and "Kanade" could be read as "playing" an instrument. His little sister Hatsune's name also means "First sound". It could be said that Otonashi was an instrument that was properly strung, but could never play any sound, but Kanade finally played it. Tugging on a heart string, eh?

Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Noda brings his halberd to the baseball games, and even uses it while fielding, but the student council's only concern is that his team entered the tournament illegally. Due to the NPCs being the way they are, this gets taken to another entire level in episode 6. We have a student springing up every minute to use the restroom, a snack-eater, someone who's sleeping across the tables, and students playing a full-blown mahjong game in the back of the classroom. The teacher's reaction: "Please quiet down." Also, they don't seem to notice the fact that they carry around working firearms on campus. Yuri even holds one of the teachers at gunpoint. She has what turns out to be a fairly neutral conversation with him, all the while still pointing the gun at him. He never notices.

Yuri is like this for Hinata in the manga and light novel, which is the basis for much of the Ship Tease. Though to a far lesser extent, she's kinda like this to Hinata in the anime too since she picks on him more than anyone else. Without reading the manga/light novel though, most would just disregard it as him being the Butt-Monkey (which he kind of is).

Fond Memories That Could Have Been: After Hinata says he would have married Yui despite her paralysis, we see images of them meeting in their previous lives and falling in love. Yui disappears shortly after, having found peace. There's also at least one theory that The Stinger is not a Distant Finale but Otonashi's desperate imaginings of a world where he knew Kanade while alive. Most find it too depressing to consider.

comment
Distracted by the Sexy: Happens to Otonashi in episode 2 while climbing Yuri after they nearly fell down an area where the floor caved in on them. Hinata was not as lucky, but his was a noble sacrifice, as spoken by Yuri after he apparently grabbed a part of her he shouldn't have.

Redemption Equals Death: Yuri disappearing in episode 13 following her redemption in the previous episode. This is the entire purpose of the afterlife, as well.

Powers as Programs: When the SSS break into Angel's room, they discover that she's been modeling her powers on her computer, using the software AngelPlayer. Yuri later finds a manual for it. There is a manual for warping reality. Too bad it's in English.

Product Placement

comment
Product Placement: Key Coffee is most likely a Shout-Out to Key/Visual Arts (bearing their logo and all), but it is still suspect since it's also a real life Japanese brand of coffee. Iwasawa plays a Fender Stratocaster, Hisako plays a Fender Jazzmaster, Yui has a Gibson SG, and Sekine plays a G&L bass.
