FUDGE ME SIDEWAYS I FINALLY PLAYED ANGEL BEATS! 1st BEAT AND MAEDA-SENSEI IS HIM
>be me
>put off Angel Beats! 1st Beat for years because "I already watched the anime"
>biggest mistake of my fudging life
>fire it up on a rainy Tuesday with zero expectations
>48 HOURS LATER: eyes swollen, throat raw, soul permanently altered
>HOW IS THIS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE ANIME?!

YURI'S SIDE-ROUTE ALONE:
That backstory... the guilt... the sheer fudging weight of her leadership
Anime gave her screentime but the VN makes you live in her damn skull
When she finally breaks down in the warehouse scene? I BROKE DOWN WITH HER
Keyboard literally soaked, no shame

AND THE NEW CONTENT?!
Fudging Glass guy’s mysterious past teases
Iwasawa’s band drama hitting harder than her anime arc
Yui’s chaotic energy dialed to 11 with actual depth
EVERY SIDE CHARACTER GETS TO SHINE
Maeda-sensi didn’t just adapt the anime, he expanded the fudging universe

MAEDA-SENSEI’S WRITING:
Man weaponizes bittersweet like it’s fudging artillery
One minute you’re laughing at Hideki’s shitty puns
Next minute he drops a 10-ton emotional nuke disguised as a flashback
That "graduation" CG in the true route? I DIED. My soul left my body.
Key’s signature pain? Yes. But with agency. These kids FIGHT their fate.

THE SOUNDTRACK???
Reused anime tracks? Fudge no.
New compositions that slam straight into your nostalgia glands
Yuri’s theme on piano during quiet moments? CHEF’S KISS
Who hurt you, Maeda-sensei? (Thank you for hurting us too.)

/VN/ ANONS?
If you skipped this because "lol anime VN adaption"
FIX YOUR MISTAKE.
Maeda-sensei took a solid anime and turned it into a masterpiece
Characters hit harder, jokes land better, pain cuts deeper
Key’s magic is REAL and it destroys people
Now excuse me while I reinstall just to suffer through Iwasawa’s route again

*Cry count: 7 (Yuri Route x3, True End x2, Iwasawa x1, Random Matsushita scene x1)*
