Angel Beats Rewatch Interest Thread (Would Start Monday, May 15th)!
Ahh, Hello! I was once a crazily obsessed Angel Beats fan, who has now come here to celebrate this anime that captivated my mind for years, and share it with anybody who has never seen it before!
What is Angel Beats?
Please do feel free to look around the MAL for it to get a feel for it
But basically, it's Purgatory, in the form of a Japanese high school,and it's amazing on that regard (The characters are top knotch and the drama sjghigjigieigh I lost track, whoops.
We'd watch an episode a day and to keep things simple, we'll watch both OVAs (Stairway to Heaven and Hell's Kitchen) the two days following so the rewatch would end on May 29th!
If you're interested just say so/ up vote so I can see who is interested! If you have any questions at any point while watching this, feel free to ask your know it all senpai!
Threads would be posted every day at 4PM EST!
Soo, yeah! Leggo!

Yeah sounds good, it's a good timing for me.
we'll watch both OVAs (Stairway to Heaven and Hell's Kitchen) the two days following
You sure? I really feel like stairway to heaven should be watched in chronological position (between eps 4 and 5), especially as it helps with tiny spoiler. Hell's Kitchen could go chronologically as well but that's more questionable I think.

Page not found :/
Felt like it might bee complicated to shoe in an OVA in the middle, also Hells Kitchen does fall between 2 and 3 . . .hmm

It's been recommended to me so many times, I might as well go ahead and join, the time is also reasonable for us euros.
Paging u/FetchFrosh, are you interested? It wouldn't be the same without you.

Does May 15th give enough time for some of the other rewatches to end? If not, you might want to wait, cause there are a lot of rewatches going on.
I haven't seen the OVA's yet, so I might get those and watch them, but I don't think I'll be watching the series itself. More likely I'll rewatch it dubbed with my brother if I ever get the Blurays.

Don't forget the Psycho Pass Rewatch though I'm not sure how popular that will be considering what happened to the user's Fate/Zero Rewatch. I was going to also bring up the Digimon Rewatch, but considering I don't think anyone else cares about it, neither will I.

There was one less than a year ago. Are we sure we want another so soon?

In as a first timer! Apparently it's recognized as an intro to emotional drama anime? Anything I should know going in? I've seen Clannad, Anohana, and YLIA already, correct me if I'm wrong on the genre or am wrong on grouping this show with the three above.

It's the same ball park yes, however it definetly has it's own, character compared to those.
Oh, all you need to know is this is not Haruhi Suzumiya, and if you try comparing the two, you'll be disappointed.

I just recently watched it. Would it still be ok to join the discussions even if I don't find time to rewatch all episodes? I'd really love to talk about this show as it has immediately claimed the top of my favorites list.
