They’re drawn to each other, and before long the latter learns Angel’s true name to be Kanade Tachibana and that she too is dead. Here, god is the enemy, and a certain SSS brigade tries to find ways to defeat him and return to their normal lives.Īs uncomfortable as all this may sound, the show is guaranteed to make you cry, especially certain moments between Angel (an antagonistic supernatural-power-wielding girl) and Otonashi (who is stuck in limbo). It’s a different world, quite literally, with those who perished on Earth residing in a sort of high school purgatory.
The show’s remarkably emotion-driven narrative has found admirers worldwide, to say nothing of the fans Yuzuru Otonashi and Kanade Tachibana have accrued. Most fans of anime will recognize the name “Angel Beats”.
