Your Soul, Your Beat.....you can't get anything better than that

Wow...the last thing i need is a tearjerker and i think i made a mistake when i watched "AngelBeats". I'm lost for words...the one that made this anime is really something.

At first i thought it was a serious anime, then i was laughing before i knew it. The last thing on my mind is that it can make people cry. I didn't cry though (I just felt like i want to, thats all) their are a few anime's that can make me cry. I'm really a sensitive person when it comes to good anime's and good manga's.

The story revolves around a school which is the final destination of teens that have died (without fulfilling things in life). Imagine waking up and the first person you see tell's you that you are already dead. How would that make you feel? Confused probably (especially if you don't have any memories). Yuzuru Otonashi experienced death and was in the middle of the fight between Rebels led by Yuri Nakamura(SSS) and the so called "Angel Character" Kanade Tachibana.

The rebels feels anger towards God for being unfair in their lives. Kanade is considered as an enemy because she is intent of "erasing" their existence (but it was really a misunderstanding). Kanade is not an angel and is also a human with a soul.
The other students in the school are considered as NPC's by Yuri because she thinks that they have no soul.

The rebels have guns, weapons and other things that they use to attack the Angel who is always in the way of their plans. The angel on the other hand is equipped with skills that is capable of matching all of their firepowers combined.

As the plot nears its end, Everyone realized that there was a threat in the "World" that they are in. Shadows appeared out of nowhere and resets everyone (Sucking their soul or something like that). The person continues to live of course but they seem strange and somewhat distant.

The final battle took place and it was as if they were fighting against God himself (of course that was not God himself). The Finale was really a tearjerker with everyone finding fulfillment in life and Moving on to the next life...

Another secret was revealed at the end of the show and Yuzuru confessed his feelings to Kanade. He begged her to stay and help him guide the lost souls who will enter the world. Actually, Kanade was still alive and only wandered to the "World" by accident. She is searching for the person that donated a heart for her. Yeah...Yuzuru was the heart donor and Kanade has his heart.




Well...just watch the last episode until the very end. You might see an unexpected surprise and of course, you decide on what the real ending is. For me, i would prefer something happy and most of you might choose the same.

LevelupLive Championship is tomorrow and i'll be at the World Trade Center by Lunch.

It's time to "Close the Curtain" and the fat lady is about to sing.
Phoenix might not play Levelup Games for a while since we decided to play internationally for a while.

But who knows? Phoenixians will always be Phoenixians and other people that carries our blood might lift the banner once again. Life is full of uncertainty and the only things that stands in their way is the courage to face life's adversity and step on the ladders of success, hardship and defeat...one step at a time.


Keep the Flames Burning!!
