So, I've been studying for exams for a while; so now that I'm done with exams, I've caught up with Angel Beats and going to catch up with B Gata H Kei and K-On!! tomorrow.
Angel Beats 04: Yui is a goddess among the characters in this series.
Angel Beats 05: Decent episode. The use of the ending as an insert song in the replays was pretty weird, but it was kind of funny, I guess.
Angel Beats Episode 06: The darker mood of this episode was pretty refreshing to watch after episode 4 and 5 for the most part seemed to drop the standard of episodes since the very beginning. I swear, it went from the pretty neat battle sequence from the first episode and the death traps and explosions in the second episode into "HEY! Let's beat Tenshi in a game of baseball!" and the lighter half of episode 5 where they try to sabotage Tenshi/Kanade's results.
I do think that they probably could have stretched the plot of Naoi becoming president a little longer though. The darker mood stated kicking in slowly with moments like the end of the prior episode, Naoi's attitude toward them, and the scene where he was beating people up on the roof. Things took a really big mood shift when Otonashi woke up in reflection room and the walls started to vibrate and the lights flickered a bit with the sound of a few booms, and Yuri's dialogue in the microphone made things look pretty bad. When they get there, it did seem pretty bad with everyone shot and left to die; and it seemed Naoi had bad things in store for Yuri, but Otonashi getting through to Naoi was a lot sooner than expected; especially since we knew very little about Naoi at the episode's beginning. We should have probably learned who this guy was a little more before he was molded into a villain like this; and now that that plot point's out of the way, there's still one question:
Where does this series go now?
Arakawa under the Bridge 05: This new opening's pretty nice, but I still really love "Venus to Jesus".
Durarara 17: Alright, looks like we can expect a Kida-centered episode next week.
