What more could they have done with that story? Ended kinda definitively, no?
Comment on Anyone have one or two anime that they watched and were surprised it wasn’t more popular?

Angel Beats was great but apparently not good enough to go mainstream. Only single season of like 13 episodes. I’ve watched it a few times. It’s funny and I recommend.

Pretty much. I just enjoyed it and wanted more.

Definitely heard of angel beats, but never got around to watching it.

It was THE show everybody talked about when it aired. It even leaked into non-anime discourse. Ichbiban no takaramono hit the heavy rotation on JP radio stations and sold like hotcakes. The show was everywhere at the time. It was story-complete, though, so that’s why there is no second season.

I think Angel Beats lost some of its cultural momentum when every following Maeda Jun project turned out to be a flop.

It was mainstream for its time. But yeah, great stuff!

Yeah, Angel Beats was very popular for a while when it aired. Previous commenter probably watched it much later
