>Maeda likes to kill all the characters but this time all the characters are already dead! Everybody will be crying from the first episode!!!
This was the first thing I thought of after reading the description. It shall be the greatest thing since slice bread.

I'm taking none of this at face value. I'll wait for the 30th.

Well that's a surprise. They never did say it was a VN, and Key is still working on Rewrite.

>all the characters are already dead!

Hurf

>Also SSS seems like a parody of SOS and 人生 sounds like a parody of the famous Clannad quote. It almost sounds like a gag anime now.

Oh how the might hath fallen.

>The new issue of Dengeki G’s magazine
Can this be found on Share or something? I won't believe it until I read it myself

WHY AM I SO HARUHI LIKE IN APPEARANCE

So I guess trolling the fans is a new trend.

>>2668379
Wait, I've read past the first line.

Yeah, bullshit.

FUCK YEAH GAG THINGS

At least since it's an anime it will get subbed. If it was a VN it would never be translated, maybe years down the road.

>>2668379
>>2668396
Didn't they release information about Rewrite on April 1st? Does Key ever lie?

>>2668390

She looks more like a purple-haired Saya.

>>2668391

It's out on the 30th.

>>2668409
If it's a VN you get both VN and anime.

shit tier tripwhore

She looks like Haruhi, just like that one nuclear Touhou character looks like Reimy.==u.

>>2668415

The hell? Why would they do this?

I can only pray that they don't actually make this a gag show, otherwise I'm going to have to turn in my Keyfag badge.

>>2668431

What's that all about, son?

>>2668432
But Angel Beats! isn't by Key

>>2668427

>>2668431

I'm not seeing the problem here.

WHERE'S MY SAYA ROUTE SPINOFF

YOU SAID THERE WOULD BE SAYA ROUTE SPINOFF

>>2668470

That was all speculation.

[citation needed]

So, jackass posts random blog link that talks about the details of an article from an issue that hasn't even been released yet. Yeah, that's credible.

>>2668446
Shit, I don't know what to believe any more. White is black, up is down.

>>2668491

Isn't this basically how the Savage Report works? And a lot of people read that guy's stuff for some reason.

>>2668494
AND EVERYTHING YOU THOUGHT WAS JUST SO IMPORTANT DOESN'T MATTER

>>2668491
Every single magazine that gets released in Japan is leaked a few days early. This is nothing new.

Summary of Interview:
* Around the time when work on Little Busters! was finished, Jun Maeda was approached by Aniplex's Toba(?) who said that he wanted to work together. The official presentation was in October of 2007.
* "The story takes place in the afterlife." "The main characters are all dead persons." "Battles are a highlight [of this series]."
* The main characters have all led unreasonable lives previously, and belong to the SSS (Shinda Sekai Sensen, Dead World Battlefront), which battles angels(Angel?) in order to rebel against God, who had bestowed them such a fate. Their leader is Yurippe.
* The SSS members use guns and the angels use supernatural forces in battles that unfurl.
* The main characters have led unreasonable lives and then died, and thus are rebelling against God. The story of their rebellion against God is intended to hopefully convey a feeling of "life is wonderful, and even though it is unreasonable at times, it is still precious."
* Na-Ga was chosen by Maeda at the beginning of 2008.
(more)

* Yurippe's design is supposed to be that of a girl with "a demanding(?) personality, an air of leadership and long hair."
* Maeda: "Since my current favorite heroine is Persona 4's Yukiko Amagi, heroines obviously should have hairbands!"
* About 30 or so characters (including minor characters) have been designed.
* In the SSS, in addition to Yurippe, there's a Decoy Squad and a Tsurikichi.
* The Decoy Squad "Girls Dead Monster" (GalDeMo for short) would put on a sudden live event to grab everyone's attention and Yurippe and the main squad would carry on their battle plans. A(?) tsurikichi is a professional at baiting.
* Na-Ga: "I've completed the designs, so right now I'm just waiting to see if there's more work to be done."
* Maeda: "I've finished the general structure of the story and the plot for all the episodes."
* Opening and Ending Themes are currently in production. If possible, Maeda(?) would like to have a hand in the composition of all the vocal songs. GalDeMo song(s) are also slated.

She doesn't look like Haruhi to me.

Genius!

And for those too lazy to look up A-1 Pictures's previous works:
* Zenmai Zamurai (co-production with No Side; 2006-)
* Ōkiku Furikabutte (2007)
* Robby & Kerobby (2007)
* El Cazador de la Bruja (original production: Bee Train; finish animation, 2007)
* Persona -trinity soul- (2008)
* Tetsuwan Birdy: Decode (2008)
* Kannagi (2008)
* Kuroshitsuji (2008)
* Valkyria Chronicles (2009)
...if that says anything to you. I haven't seen any of these, but Kannagi seems pretty popular, so they probably won't suck.

>>2669199
It's all shit except for Birdy, which is awesome.

>>2669179
Yamakan is going to animate it?
Him who went on a fucking crusade against Clannad a few months ago?
Wow.

A dead Haruhi?

I'm already liking it.

>>2669199

>* Persona -trinity soul- (2008)

/thread

>>2669228
You shouldn't look at the company, you should look at the staff.
Yamakan directed Kannagi, the first episode of Haruhi (the movie) and is the one who created all these dances.

>>2669202
taco taco tacos~

>>2669207
What's this about? Also, why did they ever figure out why he was fired in the first place?

So this is basically an Angelos Armas anime by Key? Cool.

Bloody hell! This Yurippe girl is much much more attractive than Haruhi!

>* The main characters have led unreasonable lives and then died, and thus are rebelling against God.

This can end up in two ways:
1. They submit to god and this became a very shitty religius show
2. They defeat god and thsi becames the greatest story ever been told.

>>2669753
3. They fail and everyone gets sent to hell.

>They defeat god
>greatest story ever been told.

you make it sound like the concept hasn't been whored to hell and back by japanese fiction.

>>2669753
If Lucifer couldn't do it with several hundred angels, some schoolgirl with 30 of her friends certainly isn't going to do it either.

>>2669814
Hey, Lucifer is a weakling compared to schoolgirls! Remember, we're talking about anime here!

>>2669810
like what?

>>2669814

I will seriously lose it if they make Not-Haruhi defeat god. Only because I absolutely hate those kinds of characters and this will only serve as a kind of circle-jerk over her and her archetype. My brain will hemorrhage out of rage and I'll spend my entire life hunting down every single person involved in this.

Prediction: everyone gets resurrected just so they can be killed again.

>>2669829
I would rage a lot morew if god wins.

>>2669814
I guess you missed the part where Moses raided Heaven and gored (yes, gored. Moses, you see, had bull horns. ) the shit out of planet-sized angels? Anything up to Sandalphon a bunch of schoolgirls can handle, but when he saw Sandalphon even Moses shat bricks.

>>2669833

Book of Jobe God overpowers Haruhi with his sheer presence and makes her submit hard. I would buy the DVDs.

>in the afterlife

ripoff.

>The story will take place in the afterlife and all characters in the story are dead. The character shown on the cover is a shinigami. One of the highlights of the anime will be the battle scenes.

>>2669839

>>2669898
no, they use the kanji for angel, not god of death.

>>2669909

Ungrateful bastards. They get admitted into heaven and become angels, but they're rebelling? I quick drop into the blazing pits of hell will change their minds.

>>2669753
>>2669781

they probably have those routes prepared lol

Or better yet, God/Whatever it might be is one massive troll, let the poor bastards fight hordes of his minions, then when they reach him, he revives EVERYONE.

God is relaxing, taking it nice and slow. You know, being all chill and letting humanity take it's course. Then a group of youths barge in and make demands from God. Who the hell do they think they are? They should be glad they got the chance to live even just once! God gets pissed off and reverts to Old Testament mode, throwing the world into bloodshed and disease and floods and war, gripping humanity by the balls for their insolence and determined to set them the fuck straight.

>>2669994
WELL FUCK YOU GOD!
MY XBOX 360 GOES INTO TRANS-AM MODE AND KICK THE SHIT OUT OF GOD!
God is dead.

>>2669999
*kicks.

>>2669999
get.
god is dead

>>2669999
3 TIMES FASTER, CROATIA.

>>2669994
Yup. And no one can do a damn thing because the one who makes the rules and owns the damn joint is him.

this show is gonna suck ass

>>2670352
So what else is new?

KENSHIRO IS UNAMUSED

>>2669873
I can't wait to see pseudo-Haruhi drop to her knees and submits to God like a Muslim.

God damn it, I was looking forward to this until now

purple saya

Sure does sound like a shittier Angel Sanctuary to me.

I've lost all respect for Maeda...

This just in... Angel Beats is no longer /jp/-related.

First report submitted.

Second report.

Maybe Maeda got bored of doing the same Key stuff over and over, but come on, this?

third report.

>>2671214
Maybe he's retiring.
>but this time all the characters are already dead!
is clearly Maeda's final form.
