Disillusioned with the afterlife, a new student causes a scene during a classroom test and expresses his doubts about whether getting good grades can really lead to escaping the school and ascending to Heaven. Afterwards, he is confronted by the new student council president—a familiar face whose past experiences give him powerful insight into the true nature of the school and first-hand knowledge regarding the futility of rebellion.

A short review about this short episode. Basically this is what happens if Otonashi stayed behind. Whether he really did stay, a signal for a second season, or a just a short thing to show what would happen and what he would do if he stayed is out of my knowledge's reach. Summary: A person that was in the afterlife realizes that he is dead and questions why he is there. Otonashi comes in and helps him figure out what to do buy challenging him and offers him help afterwards. The class causes a small uproar about it andthe teacher tries to calm everyone down and get them to finish the test. The main person refuses. Story: 9 I'm only giving this a nine because I enjoy things that leave things out because it drives my imagination crazy. And also it also show some of the questions out there if he really stayed in the afterlife to help people. It may cause some to think that he maybe the guy who created the angel player and the Angel Beats time line maybe going in loops (which is the thing I do not want, but it's a thought nonetheless) Art: 8 High quality art as usual. Really good tension scene. Sound: 10 The voice acting was outstanding, and the choice of the BG was really good. It brought nostalgia even though it has only been a half of a year. Character: 10 Otonashi showed a great deal of concern to other people in an indirect way. I like that because that's how I am. And the new character also showed a great deal of internal conflict and started to solve how to get out of it by Otonashi's help. That's really good character development in a two minute segment. Enjoyment: 10 It brought a quench of thirst to me, since I've been looking forward to this since the first season ended. No matter what it was, I was still going to give it a 10. Overall: 9 I'll give it a 9. It's probably because there wasn't much there, but there was something. Also, I'm sure it fires up people's imagination and excitement if there is going to be new season or not. I'm looking forward for more!
This one is so short. Basically it's another epilogue. It's an alternate ending to the original ending from Angel Beats and without spoiling it but I prefer this ending. It's pretty bitter sweet. Just imagine it as a short extended ending with the art and setting all the same art and only featuring voices from one returning character (Those bitter sweet endings though: TTGL, Madoka movie, -cough- Angel beats epilogue)
This review is short, but so is the episode, so yeah. Also, spoilers. Big spoilers. Spoils everything (as much as possible for an episode this long). This is basically what happens if Otonashi stays behind. If this really happened, or if this is a alternate ending, or even a promo for a second season, I do not know. In my opinion, this is an alternate ending and it's up to the viewer to decide which one he or she wants to believe in. I do know however that a lot of people find this episode very confusing and completely unnecessary. I personally like this ending though. It'sa sad ending, true, but a lot of good anime have a sad ending. The reasons I like this ending are: - it does a good job of explaining some stuff that wasn't explained in the main series. This is what happens: after Otonashi helps the student, you hear the rumours of a very cool student council president (him) and that he is waiting for someone. Now when did we already heard this? Oh, right, its the same story as the unknown programmer. This would indicate that Otonashi somehow is that programmer (don't ask me how, but it's cool); - I think it lies within his personality. Before Tenshi leaves in the main series, he does ask her to stay and that they will help the others together. Also, note that he did die helping others. - and last, I did not really get how he could have left like the rest. I mean, he doesn't seem that happy when Tenshi left, and isn't that a condition to move on? Anyway, as you've might have noticed, I like this ending better than the first. But, as I've said in the beginning of this review, it's up to the viewers to decide which one they want. That being said, I give this short episode the same rating as the main series, a 9 out of 10.
I'm going to make this short and sweet as much as I can. I have NO IDEA why this was made, and to be honest, I don't think it should have. Now, what this does, is screw us over on the Angel Beats ending which by the way I loved! Now we have Otonashi as the student council president running the school just as Kanade did, which is a great thing to put him as instead of a student, but WHY IS HE EVEN THERE? It makes no point for him NOT to leave. But now Im just rambling. Art, amazing as ever. I alwaysloved the art style and it doesn't disappoint. Plot, there is none except for the fact that we get to see an alternate ending that wouldn't have worked out. The OST didn't show itself for this one, and we get a wimpy Otonashi-clone at the beginning complaining about being stuck in the purgatory. What really made me angry is when Otonashi went up to him and showed him off, all the characters in the background were like, "Sugoi, sugoi! Watashi wa daisuke Otonashi-san!!" I mean, what the hell is up with that?! The ending was exactly the way it should've been, this to me never existed. I can't believe I waited months for this garbage.
This is another ending of the main Angel Beats anime. Its very short & shows the viewers if Otonashi stayed in that world then what his role would be. But this is not the actual ending. Actually he passed away just like the others. So those who are not contempt with the main anime ending should see this, But if you really liked the original ending then I suggest you don't see it, because it will really mess up with your mind (if u really got into the anime). Personally I really hate this ending.
