>implying /jp/ isn't watching Angel Beats

>>4969098
I'm not. Fuck your Haruhi clone.

>>4969098

I thought you guys were to busy worshipping your tomboyish Cirno...

>>4969105

I'm called Yui!

sup /jp, just posting an inferior human being that you can never overcome.

Now in atrocious resolution.

I'm pretty sure I can overcome her, and use her and force her to be my teddy bear.

>>4969114

There might be someone who can overcome that

>>4969110
No, the one with the hairband and the purple hair.

>>4969098
It's not actually good.

>>4969211
Coming from a pedophile like you that probably means there are breasts in it. I'll start downloading it now.

>>4969098
Watched the first episode, was too disappointed to bother watching the second episode.

I'll download a couple of eps. It's been so long since I last saw anime, might've been over a year ago.

>>4969227
Watch the second, at least get to Yuri's sob story.

>>4969225
As a matter of fact there are breasts. (Also the premise seemed somewhat interesting but the show was actually quite boring.)

>>4969248
MY RELATIVES ARE DEAD AND I'M WANT TO KILL GOD

>>4969248
MY RELATIVES ARE DEAD AND I WANT TO KILL GOD

>>4969227

You must be new to anime, it usually is a way to get you know a bit of the setting before you actually jumpt to any story...

>>4969300

>BAAAWWW I'M A FAILURE IN LIFE, SO I'LL JUST SIT OUT MY DAYS IN /jp/

If someone did that to you, you wouldn't like it either huh? Atleast her story has a bit more appeal.

>>4969614
But she's not real. There's a difference between insulting a generic moe character and a generic Anon.

The show has dead kids with unfinished business from their previous lives, and those who're able to make up for their shortcomings will disappear.

Kinda interesting.

>>4969614
u mad

You know. JP seemed to be in a tiffy when this first aired and made me apprehensive. Sure, it's like a mashup of ideas set to feel like Haruhi but it's rather easy to watch and I'm enjoying it more than I thought.

And Lia never dissappoints.

>>4969640
>>mashup of ideas set to feel like Haruhi
I've never really understood why people think this about Angel Beats.
Its not just because Yuri looks like Haruhi does it?
The stories are sufficiently different from one another for me to disagree with that statement.

This is one of the worst shows I've ever seen. The Japanese couldn't make a comprehensible storyline without copypasted characters if their lives depended on it. And the author of this is supposedly one of Japan's best.

>>4969656
Looks like, sounds like, behaves like. Everyone is wrong, they're actually both ducks.

sup /a/, get the fuck out.

>>4969656
I agree, the only thing that connects it to Haruhi is that Yuri kind of looks like Haruhi, and that they're both headstrong people. Yuri is much more mature and leader-like.

>>4969656

Looks and acts like Haruhi. Just as rude, obnoxious and self-centered.
Show is about a school club of cliche characters who do pointless shit like play baseball or music. Oh, but it's deep and there's deep reasons behind it. It's not just another show about high school kids playing baseball or music. Not at all. It's deeper than that.

Angel Beats is kind of /jp/ related because of Maeda I think

>>4969656
Two of the main characters are copies of Haruhi and Yuki. In 4 episodes there's been a baseball and a band episode.

I guess the time constrictions make everything look cramped and messy even if the premise is good.

The first chapter of the light novel had the perfect pace for this series (not to mention I liked the writting style), so even if the anime won't deliver as much as it would, I'll be definitely following it in their other future media (visual/light novel).

>>4969656
Lets see.
Selfish capricious girl wages war on god because baw life is unfair vs. God who is apprehensive about destroying and recreating the world through her subconscious out of boredom. Girl drags new recruit into her club vs. Girl drags new recruit into her new club. Friends with superpowers do weird things, while new recruit is most normal all things considered. Angel which has about as much emotion as a certain robot android is their enemy. All things considered, I disagree. THERE IS A FUCKTON OF PARALLELs.

>>4969687
No. That's not a valid excuse.

>>4969698
But at least Otonashi does something unlike Kyon, he's grasping the situation of that afterworld pretty quickly like how someone dissapears there.

>>4969698
>Selfish capricious girl wages war on god because baw life is unfair vs. God who is apprehensive about destroying and recreating the world through her subconscious out of boredom.
That's not, in any way, Haruhi-like.

>Friends with superpowers do weird things
No shit.

At least they die when they're killed.

>>4969701
It will have a manga, light novel AND visual novel.
Hence its title of mixed media.

Mayoi Neko is so much worse than Angel Beats. It's only episode 3 and we've got an awkward love confession followed by "hahaha I was lyyyyyyyyyyyyiiiiing baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakaaaaa"

why am I forcing myself to watch this shit?....

>>4969717
>it will

Until then it belongs totally to /a/. I'm watching this show and enjoying it as well, but it just don't belongs here.

>>4969709
No... they DONT die when they are killed. They die when they live.

>>4969729
Because nyaa.

>>4969729
No, man. Mayoi Neko Overrun! is awesome because Indeksu is a rich bitch.

>>4969682
>>4969692
>>4969698
There are only so many character archetypes and cutouts Japan can go through before they need to recycle and put them into other works.
Having certain characters that are similar to other popular shows does not make it a ripoff.
Team/friendship building, superpowers, raging against gods, and light-haired mute girls are nothing that has not been done way before Haruhi.
Just admit you don't like anime nowadays

>>4969749
There are always terribly done moeblob ecchi shows that get on my nerves. But most of the stuff in this season I'm liking. The only one that is remotely bugging me is Mayoi Neko.

Yui is surely going to turn me into an adulterer. There's no way my resistances will hold.

>>4969729
Because kuudere Azunyan.

>>4969749
The premise of Angel Beats started well. But then the more I watched it the more it reminded of being a comedy version of Haibane Renmei lite.
Maeda Jun is better than this and they fucking replace LIA piano OP with that crap from Yui.

>>4969827
Kitamura Eri > Lia

>>4969827
It could just be that I'm forcing myself to not to act as jaded as I am after years of watching anime, but I am enjoying Angel Beats more than a lot of other shows this season.
Not that I'd put it on the level of Haibane Renmei though.
I feel that it has a good enough balance between a somewhat serious backstory on the different characters in relation to the comedy parts; something I think Key-related works always do well.
I'm just hoping that they don't botch the later parts of the story by delving too far into either.

I agree with you fully on the new OP though, shit sucks.

Ayu-ayu should have gone to the Angel Beats world instead of back to Moriguchi.

>>4969827
I doubt they will use the rock version opening for the rest of the series.

>>4969884
After everyone has disappeared, there will be a requiem version.

The show is OK. I really have problem watching the latest /a/ overrated shit series, though.

>>4969904
>latest /a/ overrated shit series
?

>>4969729
>>4969743

Mayoi is awesome because of the same reason Railgun was awesome.

>>4969904
>still browses /a/

Just watch what you think it`s good and ignore /a/, son.

>>4969904
>>overratred
God, I wish we had this word globally wordfiltered.
Seriously though, don't let people on 4chan influence your opinion on your interests.
If you let this site dictate your tastes, you'd never be able to enjoy anything again.

>>4969927
>He thinks he's being so edgy and artsy by watching shitty shows

>>4969904
Are you talking about KeiON S2?

>>4969866
From the first 4eps it is exactly like Haibane Renmei. Suicider heaven/paradise. People disappeared once they reached enlightenment.
But knowing Maeda Jun, I bet there will be some magical bullshit later on to reset/revive all of them.

I'm sure they could've found a hotter vocalist.

>>4969941
Ah yes, the greentexting cretins come out from /a/ whenever this show is mentioned.
Enjoy your homogeny and never being able to think for yourself.

Who else thinks Angel Beats is just a big joke by Maeda, which was inadvertently mistaken for being serious?

>>4969956
>I'm sure they could've found a hotter vocalist.
>hotter

I'm going to find out where you live and murder you in your sleep.
Bastard.

Shit posting already, Sion? You're getting worse.

>>4969956
I am not amused by this pun. You guys try to pull the same thing with Sill but it isn't funny. Please stop.

Is Angel Beats really that bad? The OP looks pretty awesome. I haven't watched animu seriously in years, so maybe I'll give it a try.

>>4969992
And it's by Key too, definitely going to watch.

>>4969992

Do you watch such garbage as Haruhi? If so then you'll just love Angel Beats.

>>4970043
loooool garbage xDDDDDDDD

>>4970043
No

>>4969992
Episode 1 and 2 were unimpressive but 3 was good.

>>4970055
Ep 3 was godawful

>generic moe tomboy

also

>haruhi clone

>>4970076
Episode 3 made me cry.
You have no heart.
Does that feel good? Not having a pulse?

you do know this show is aimed at 15 year olds, right

posting a superior moe

>>4970088
Well duh, all cartoons are aimed towards children. Same with those picture books /jp/ seems to love.

>>4970088

>>4970084
I find it hard to get attached to a character who was introduced the very same episode.

Also the mixing of humor and seriousness is done pretty poorly, Maeda should stick to VNs

Nothing Key has made since Clannad has been any good

>>4970132
I don't think you have read Little Busters! Refrain route, or Saya route

>>4970132

>>implying that Clannad is good

>>4970132
They created Kudo.

>>4970557
Alright, not good, awesome is closer.

Angel Beats is much better than Clannad so far

>>4970557
Oh great, bumping this thread again, followed by stupid overused way of trolling hoping for attention. Are you lonely, Anonymous?

>>4969087
>implying /jp/ isn't watching Angel Beats
Why should I watch the anime adaption when I could read the superior originals?

Haruhi and Yuri are totally different characters. People who are saying 'LOL THEY'RE THE EXACT SAME U GUYZ XD' are utter idiots who can't understand characterization. Not every high strung girl has to be compared to another, you know.

>>4970563
>Kudo
I don't see how this says they made anything good

>>4970568
Take it as a troll if you want, not my business

Yui is the best character to come out of anime in years.

>>4970582
Or people who decide if they will watch a show or not by watching 3 screenshots of this show.

>>4969087

Too bad she's too moe for her own damn good.

Someone post Hinata beating the shit out of her.

Why are you guys even posting in a Sion thread?

>>4970611
Most of them are from /a/ so yeah...

>>4970611
I don't post Angel Shits

So /jp/, do you actually like anything or do you just wallow in hatred and misery all day?

>>4970631
I like many things but certainly I don't like you and OP.

>>4970631
I like wallowing in hatred and misery every day.

Sion is tsundere for Angel Beats

Apparently Haruhi is newfag's first anime lol.

>>4970625
I believe you, Sion.

>>4970645
Sion is tsundere for many things, we are also tsundere for Sion. This whole world is made up of tsundere.
