Angel Beats! 13 Finale



As always, thanks for all the feedback and words of encouragement you guys give us. Speedsubbing each week is no easy task, and it's always good to see people appreciate the work we do.

So without further delay, here are the people who brought you Angel Beats over the last 13 weeks:

Norgus (Translation): It was a fun series, but I still hate TK. ^^

fotc (Translation): o/

Sindalf (Timing): ┐( ̄ー ̄)┌ I enjoyed doing it I guess

jama (Timing, TS): I wasn't even supposed to be involved in this, yet ended up doing some timing and TS? >_>

mreweilk (Encoding): ....

Ulrezaj (Translation, Editing, everything else): You can tell we're a team of wordy people ^^; Was great fun, as I expected from a Key work.

Thanks of course also to all the people who help out outside the group - TGEN for his tracker as usual, M-V, X30Y, Pedowars for their bots, and a bunch of others I'm sure I'm forgetting, but thanks everyone!
Mazui will be back in... less than a week actually, damn...

KyogissunThanks for subbing this guys. And glad to see this come to a concise and no loose threads left conclusion.
anonymousThank you so much for subbing this show - I've been watching your releases ever since Endless Eight and you've become my favorite group of all time.

Looking forward to your next project!
rinThank you so much for subbing this series. I really don't think it would be as good as it is if Mazui didn't sub it.

As always, Mazui = god-teir. Looking forward to your next project for sure.
Slipzz666Ah hell yea!!

Can't wait to download this only 9 hrs left!!!:D........-.- lol
FlanThank you all. Have fun on your next project!

cobaltThxs you for your hard work. Manly tears have been shed
EBThanks for the season. You guys rock. Looking forward to Ookami-san.
SavarisThx guys, awesome series awesome translators what more could you ask for?

looking forward to the next anime, thanks!
anonymous*brofist*
Majime Where the hell did Otanashi meet Kanade before.... Ah well, turned out how I predicted it for the most part. I assume everyone went back to life either being mostly the same or possibly waking up from a coma they were in (since it never actually showed anybody dying, just going into a state of unconsciousness at most). Too bad it was a pretty solid ending which means little to no chance of a second season (with the same characters at least).
G2Thank you so much for subbing this series.
YonedaThanks a lot Mazui =] seriously XD
Random GuyLooking forward to Ookami-san! xD
Scoops!!thanks mazui, angel beats top subbers hands down!
wwwsamThanks mazui for subbing the series you did a great job =]

asdthanks!
JiroThat was one of the most emotional endings I've ever came across. Angel Beats in overall was a great anime. Hope we'll see plenty to come from Key.

Thank you, Mazui, for helping us understand the awesomeness of this show. Keep up the good work.
FanGirlThank you Mazui~! Hope you keep up the good work ^^ thanks for subbing animes for us english reading people lol :P though it'd be nice if I pick up japanese, but due to time and circumstances, well, im blabbling now. Lol XD Hope you guys continue to sub for the next, coming new season of anime =3 *thumbs up~*
OlmHey all :)

A simple question, as this is my first time waiting for a sub for Angel Beats: Will there be a XviD version out soon? :) Only asking as I plan on ordering food for the final episode to watch with the family ;)

If not, I'll download the one available :D

Also, Thank you Mazui for your hard work and fast subbing. I remember having to wait around a day or more for some of my old shows to be subbed :( I also walked to school up hill both ways...
TaigaThanks for always delivering high quality subs at great speed, Mazui! You are definetely my favorite subbing group. I will be waiting for you next project, I'm sure it will be awesome as well.
biribiriThis anime was the most beautiful masterpiece I've ever seen. NGE, Cowboy Bebop, Clannad? Nah, they are not even close to Angel Beats! I am truly beyond amazed, my hands still shake as I'm writing this. I laughed, I cried I loved this series more that I could imagine to be possible. Angel Beats! forever! \m/
nicky_008From the last EP, I finally understand what the whole story tell us. (And also, I had predicted them from 2ch spoils, which seem to be similar in many ways)

1st watching, ah damn ending.

2nd watching, hmm Did I just miss somethings in EP?

3rd watching, yeah, yes. I got it now...

4th watching, watch and explain them to my friend.

The next week work is a big job for you, mazui. Have a nice weekend. lol
bobbierobha, thanks mazui for all the speedy releases! cuz usually when im watching an ongoing series and the usual subber takes too long i go with the the other ppl but that never happened with u guys!
MegiddoThanks a bunch Mazui. Your effort is appreciated.
SobreThank you very much for bringing this series so fast!
go3001Thx a lot Mazui!! You are the best team!! and for Norgus: How could you hate TK??!! *sad* He's cool as! Is it because it's hard to translate his English? lol. What's your next series?
Sum GaiI have never been so touched by an anime before. I'm still freaking crying! And I call myself a man...

Thank you Mazui, you guys are by far my favourite fansubbing group and you always choose the best anime.
SpooktThanks as always, Mazui! See ya next time.
ScarletThis was a great ending. I wish we could have seen the other characters leave, but they did it in between episodes. Oh well. I don't understand how Kanade knew how to go to that world to meet him, does anyone else know? And how did she arrive before him, maybe there's a delay for some souls? I like the part after the credits, though... They meet again, that's just perfect...
limazThanks for subbing this series, looking forward to more subs :3.
Sum GaiFor the people wondering about Kanade's meeting Otonashi in the school: This is speculation obviously, but I believe that she had such a large regret as she was recovering from the heart transplant that she fell into a coma and was thrown into the world. The world is, after all, a place for people to get rid of their regrets.
go3001haha! Kanade was humping 'My Song' by Girls Dead Monster....

@Sum Gai: Have you seen Clannad yet??? watch that if you cried in this.
l0l1this is the last time i see kanade
adam326Thanks again for great and fast subs and for all your work, Mazui!

Greatest. Ending. Ever. Seen.

You made it. Some anime made few tears in my eyes. But this time they were freaking flowing!

I hope Key realizes that now it's responsible for making each and every other anime "good but it's not AB!" at most.

And word to Mazui: How do you do this? How do you know which anime to sub? I mean, since today everything that Mazui is subbing is at least worth waiting for, watching it and missing when it ends. At least for me and I recommend everyone every anime that Mazui will ever sub.

One more time:
Otsukaresamadeshita! Mazui-tachi!
NetstrykeI want to thank you and your crew for a Exquisitely Done project. You Definitely contributed to the enjoyment of this series and adding to the fan-base in the process.
RevirrimLove you guys for all the work so far
KazukiMany thanks for subbing this great series.

A nice happy ending for Kanade and Yuzuru.

Good job Mazui
d0td0td0tyou guys are great! thanks for all your hard work!
Sharr DexteraAnother Good Works from Mazui.

NikerSniff.

Thats all I can do
Jeong JunYes, the last episode!!!
ZackI love you guys! Angel Beats is one of my fave anime of all time. The ending made me cry
anonymousThanks for subbing angel beats!!
Pink LemonadeIt's been a while since I've been so moved by an anime. Thanks for making me cry repeatedly, Mazui.
;'THIS EPISODE IS FUCKING EPIC!
sigmaGreat job as always keep it up and good luck with future projects!
brahthanks for the delicious subs guys, appreciate it
namednoobThanks for the hardwork ! you guys did great !
Ryoku NightmareGreat job Mazui Subs thanks for angel beats
Didnt Like the ending though haha
For key i expected more but it was okey i guess ! Clannad
UnknownforceSo can anyone tell me how Otonashi can come back if he gave his heart to Kanade?
AlienGamerThank you so much for doin this. One of the best shows this season, and u guys did a fan-fukin-tastic job on it. Loved the big ass file sizes early on. Cant wait for u'r next project.
Scarlet@Unknownforce
Reincarnation. Why did he react when he heard that song? Why did she even remember the tune in the first place? I'm guessing it was embedded in their souls because of the strong bonds they formed.
1OOThank you guys for everything :>
Last episode was sad.
njamunkythats it mazui...i cant do it anymore.

i just cant.

im giving you up.

you keep subbing anime that pulls on the strings of my heart. you're tearing me to pieces.

this is the end.

goodbye.

forever.
DaruI started this thinking "How can they possibly end this in a meaningful, emotional way?"

But then... Oh, man, that was EPIC.
No namethank you guys...
HahahaohwowI laughed at Otonashi at the end.

Oh and the "ending" scene makes no sense no matter how much bullshit you people try to feed me.
dualinlineThank you.
go3001@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@



Mazui!!!! There is an unaired special ep!!!!!!!

CanasLove everything you do, thanks for the hard work. o/
tomthanks so much for subbing Angel Beats! (!)
Keep it upz.


lol unaired making-of won't come out for months.
GOD.dam, love u guys.
what is the next anime you guys are planning to sub? :D
go3001@tom really? I hope not.....
zergloliYou guys are fucking awesome. Thanks for the excellent, speedy subs.
gimme_myThis was just too sad, in 2 ways, 1, the ending and 2, THE ENDING!!!!!!!!!

Mazui, you guys did a great job bringing this series to the masses, with great quality and awesome speed. Thank you so much~
anonymousFor those who thought about the coma thing... Otonashi couldn't be in a coma ...
ArjunaOh my god what an ending!!!

I waited all evening for this, awesome! Just pure undiluted concentrated awesomeness!!!

Best...
Ending...
Ever...
ShadowThanks, Mazui!! I found you guys during your subbing of Railgun and am very glad that I did! Honestly, you all are amazing! Blazing fast and accurate! Arigato! :D

I never heard of AB before hearing all the hype about this show from the ppl on this site and this was my first Maeda anime that I watched. Usually massive hype leads to disappointment, although not this time! Quite the opposite, I actually underestimated the greatness of this story!

In between eps I watched all of Clannad (Awesome!) and am gonna check out his others as well. :)

I'd also like to thank all the fans that come and comment here every week! To me, it really adds more to the enjoyment of the series to read the comments and ideas from everyone each ep! And I gotta say, Mazui definitely has one of the greatest group of fans! =)
anonA huge THANKS to Mazui for subbing this. And my 2 cents says that Otonashi is not in a coma. He died. I dunno how Kanade beat him to the afterlife though.

Once again. Thanks!
T^TIt has been a while since an anime has brought tears to my eyes...I have got to say, this is one of the best animes ever made.
OyuThanks Mazui ^^
Jeong Jun@anon
Otonashi was there all along. Remember episode 12. This is my opinion, and it kinda makes no sense, but I think the creator of Angel Player is Otonashi. It meets the description.
Love manifested in the world because he loved Kanade and his regret was that he missed her because she had left the world.
uzmijust want to ask..will u guys subs the OVA??and thanks one more time for the subs
Arjuna...freakin' tears in my eyes!!! :P

damnit!
TheDarknight02Thank you. Your subs are fast and accurate. Good luck in the future!
namednoobSee you all again at the OVA to clear the uncleared questions xD

Hope mazui will be doing it.
sancszThanks for bringing us such a great show! Your efforts are much appreciated and have been enjoyed.
MikeThank you Mazui for all your hard work!

Jun Maeda totally took the meaning of "Angel Beats" to a whole new level. Heartbeats (Otonashi)coming from within the Angel(Kanade). Suggesting an eternal bond between those two, whether is real life or afterlife.

One of the top anime series that I have ever watched. Also one of the best ending I have seen for a long time.

Keep up the good work Mazui!
._.;;There should be an SP ep with the DVD release
runeseekerThanks for your hard work! Great anime and OST (^_^) b
arcthanks Mazui for your hard work... this is great series, but not THAT great without further explanation, which should be in the DVD special, not just random episode
TatshJust had to say thank you so much for doing this series. I am really looking forward to your next (and concurrent) works!!
bokunoheiboGood job guys! I'm Glad Mazui is such a reliable group. Keep em coming!
aniluvJust take a longer break, u deserve it. How can i thank u enough? Haha xD
starshatterThanks Guys for all your work.
Don't usually comment but I've been with you guys for the whole series (And still Katanagatari :D). Just saying not to listen to any naysayers, cause there's always gonna be backbenchers like me that will still love your work no matter what.
Commander Bubbleprops for a great job guys
hellknightthx thank you
天使Damn, I'm late.

Arigatou gozaimasu!

Random word.. GozaiMAZUI.
HiryuLOL I was looking for a download link, didn't realize that the pic was the link. lol. Thanks mazui.
Yam ;_;A great end to the best series this year so far. Was so close to crying too like every time Kanade hummed "My Song". That song is so beautiful yet heart-wrenching...
ZanadulThank you guys so much again for another great series! Can't wait to catch more! Keep up the great work and I can't wait to see what's in the future!
Anthonygreat job guys!
anonymousThanks for another great series guys. You always pick the ones I'm most excited about!
SemypreciousI cried and wished there was more at the end. Thank you Sooooo much for this one. You guys did a great job. Looking forward to more Katanagatari.
RenzThanks you mazui for subbing Angel Beats!
I'll be looking forward to watch Ookami from you guys^^ and once again thank you for subbing this wonderful anime^^
DauntaeThank you very much for your exemplary job at subbing such an epic show.

...What the hell ever happened to "Christ"?
ElraineThanks a lot
ZeroX25@Dauntae
Someone called him Christ, then he disappeared.
SumeaIt was Truly beautiful. Thanks for giving us butt ugly non-japanese nerds way to appreciate and see current stuff.

I remember your work always.
pacheXMazui, I'm actually a Japanese major and a translator/encoder myself, and I have to say, you guys rocked Angel Beats. Thank you so much for your hard work. Are you planning to sub the bonus ep that comes out with the blu-ray in December too?
KeeperGreat job on an altogether awesome show =-)
anonymousHi
MaeThanks for your hard work!
dhearts27Stunned by the epicness! I'm missing it already. But still, awesome work guys!
ice they guys, thanks for getting this out every week in such a timely fashion. really appreciate your work on both this & katanagatari. keep it up.
AcidDamn great f'ing anime. Despite the fact his heart would have died in real life soon after he died...organ transplant doesn't work that way, they harvest the organs when the body is alive but the brain is dead. Still, one of my favorite anime of all time!
Jacobhay this is my first time making a comment on your website. But anyway was it just my player or did some parts of the show get a bit Skippy?
YukiThanks a bunch. Made my Fridays.
__[\]ew_Start__Thanks for your hard work!
See you next Pj!!! :D
pixahoho...at least they still have an afterworld take so it not very sad in the end, if they never meet again or the movie end in it's way im going to cry.....lol....thx mazui...
battelstoneNice series as always ends too soon thanks for bringing this too us well done for subbing appreciate your hard work allot regards from holland
martinezMazui, thanks 4 ur hardwork in these project. i can't say anymore......thanks....thanks....thanks....

and for Jun Maeda......F*CK YOU !!!! F*CK F*CK F*CK!!!! you....you...you....did such an unbelievable job....truly....truly fascinating....
I...who call myself a man....you made me cried.....twice....
with a brilliant storyline....your story is not such a come-and-go...but....a story...that leave a deep meaning in our heart....

i just wanna say....thank you, Maeda
Ftimis@Majime Otonashi had died he was not in a coma and regained conciousness after he, too, "graduated", it's clear he had died if they gave his heart to Kanade. I mean, no one can live without a heart, can he?
---------------------------------------------
Thank you Mazui, the series was great, Maeda did it again. One of the most befitting ends in anime series I've watched.
KikiweiiThank you :)
KThank you so much for subbing. Great and fast work! Thank you.

A personal preference:
I don't need (/even want) OPs and EDs, you could leave them out / release them separately.
I like mkv-chapters and such, where you can split all that. :)
dna423mazui i thank you so much for subbing this serie thanks to you i was getting my weekly fix very fast :) 1 thing i dont realy get . if otonashi died and gave his heart to kanade why when otanashi woke up in that world was kanade already there ? she already had wepons and was well known as student council president so how come she was there way earlier than otanashi ?

well anyway cant wait for the next series you will be subbing coz all so far were awesome . except katanagari cant see the fun of that 1 ....
AirylThank you very much for subbing these series!!
rrwwill you animate blue ray extra episode
ArccThanks you, Mazui. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for subbing this. Thank you. Thank you.
thisguywell i cant lie and say it all made sense to me in the end and i like a lot of the ideas ppl throw out, but even with the story having holes or not i have to say i really enjoyed it. thanks for the subs!
pikachu69Thank You for Your hard work!
Pao2xarigatou gozaimasu, mazui! xD i am wondering if you are going to release a batch torrent for this anime.. anyways, thanks for subbing. ^^
AmokiDon't forget to do the unaired chapter when it comes out ok? looking forward to it^^
SaiLol I always watch whatever you guys sub, even if is dead boring like Spice and Wolf II and cuz of that I had to watch Spice and Wolf I, but any hows, keep up the good work!
DarkTigrisGreat Series. Thanks guys to let me see it.
Hope to see more good work from you in the future
arsenThanks for the hard work of speed subbing this, guys!
*sniff*
InvisiblemooseThis show could've been pretty solid if it had been 26 eps... oh well. Art and music were good.

And Mazui continues to be the best speedsub group going by far.
DaHill534To everybody @ Mazui:
Thanks for a great release and all your hard work involved in it. Looking forward to your next project. Keep up the good work!
TlevisThank you for your hard work on fansubbing, It is appreciated
F0LKENthx as usual, u're doing great job
hallioeThanks for the consistent great subs on this show, with their lovely quality and stuff.. :)
SOLDIER CloudThanks guys! Looking forward to the next project!
no~bull~manthe greatest speedsub gang alive! best of luck in any endeavours of yours, u guys!
VA genuine thanks, guys. Here's to hoping Ookami-san won't disappoint. Will follow your releases as usual.
artsaThank you, Mazui. =)
darkonekohi :D
Silent~♥Mazuie great as always, keep up the good work
ManteRthank you sooo much all of you guys, you were great everywhere (transl, tim, encod, edit, kara etc.) and each episode was great :)) it was even more pleasant for me to watch episode with such great work.
Kupo@dna423 I believe Otonashi really liked hearing people say thank you to him. But he couldn't hear that from those he saved by donating his organs. That might be why he got stuck in that world, and if he was the guy that turned himself into an NPC it would explain why he got there so late (and possibly the memory loss).
EvstThanks for your hard work guys. I enjoyed watching your release.
NikerI think I read somewhere that This was going to come out as a visual novel.

It makes sense, specially since most of Jun's works are visual novels initially.

Maybe Key is working on this project and has been for a while?

I mean there are so many loopholes, so many stories that could be exploited... They could all be expained in the game? That being said it would be the biggest visual novel ever.

Extra ep guess would be what would have happened had Otonashi chosen Yuri? Either way that should be in the visual novel.

Cheers;
Niker
EcthaniuQ.Q After watching the last episode I can,t stop cry.

Thanks Mazui^^
lonewolfyeah it really make me wonder..... if otonashi give his heart how can he be alive? anyway thnx for awesome job mazui & key for reminding what's the real purpose of tissues ;)
martinez@dna423.....well, my opinion is.....
i think there's a gap time between when he died and when he come to that school. remember, that world is for people that rebel the god because their lives was cruel. and it is not suited for Otonashi because Otonashi didn't have any regret. but Kannade's regret has pull him to that world. if we think about that, the existence of Otonashi is make sense.....
vhince4005THANKS Mazeui!!!
i really appreciate your works!

For me, this is the best story of an anime i've ever watch in my entire life.

With a good subber, this anime is the BEST!!
still Downloading, so sad, it was the last one.

I want another anime like this, and looking forward to mazui's release.

!!Banzai!!
lonewolfotonashi DID have regret....
Jvery well done, thanks Mazui!

and... anyone know what's the song at the end? i asked this question back in ep10 and still got no clear answer.
vhince4005Vhince SJ an anime OTAKU from Philippines.
add me FB vhincentsj@yahoo.com

Mazui, please create a Facebook group, ive been searching for it and cant find one, i want to be a FAN !!!
lenyek_penyekIm always wondering why you named yourself "mazui" when i think u were one of the best speedsubbers around...anyway, thank u for the great subs and hardwork, I watched all anime releases from mazuisubs from haruhi, spice and wolf, railgun, katanagatari and angelbeats...and I'll keep follow your releases...millions of thanks
BasilFor those who are still confused about why Otonashi was in that world when he had no regrets - He already explained it didn't he? He lost his memories - that's why he somehow got 'lost' and 'wandered' into that world - plus he already said his existence there was abnormal and purely by chance. and Kanade didn't meet Otonashi in the real world. She just assumed that Otonashi was the heart donor who gave her a heart because when she stabbed him there was no heart. It's all explained in the episode. Try watching it again

and those parts where they meet again in the real world doesn't mean it really happened. It could have been just something they thought of to ease their minds. Or what someone else here said - Reincarnation. They talked about it in the first episode and maybe the creator believes in reincarnation and really did reincarnate them.
zenithThank you, Mazui^^ for subbing this great series!!! :>

P.S. Thanks, Basil for explaining!~
LittlefishThank you ^^
MaboDrop by the site to say hi :D

bt37Brilliant series, brilliant subs. Thanks Mazui!
sn0w75This episode....
BEST. THING. EVER.
I've always loved Maeda Jun/Key's works. This just shows why.
AnonymousBeen silently leeching all this time, but now is the moment to speak the words of gratitude. Thank you for your hard work, Mazui.
SzwadronThanks for your job! :) This anime was awesome, and you were really fast in releasing subtitle version ^^
lgmtkawesome work Mazui!
whitemonkeyThank you so much! Loved the series.
leeahsengty Mazui, you guys are one of those best few groups i knew
PsychoGod..I didn't cry in a long time. And it's the first anime that made me cry.
Thank you.
martinez@Basil....i think it wasn't only amnesia. if it's only amnesia, why there's still a gap of time between his death and when he come to that world?

in eps 13, Kannade told Otonashi that her hearts bring his memories back. it approved us that Kannade received his heart. the only answer based on my prediction is, somehow, Otonashi's spirit just got "lost".......and came to that world after Kannade came to that world, too.....and the explanation?

Kannade's regret has pull him to come to that world.....

PerlaNemesisThank you Mazui for subbing this anime! ^^ Loved this anime.
YeahThanks for your hard work throught the series, awesome work. You have come to be one of the best fansub groups in such a short time :)
daebeed0hthanks for subbing! really appreciate it. :]
orezthanks a lot for your fast and high quility work on this anime. I really enjoyed it and I hope you guys keep this up for a long time.
Someone ElseAs usual key makes a sad yet satisfying endings!!! It's just too good I want an extra at least! But, if it doesn't, it will still stay a great series
AlienGamerThat made no freakin sesnse..Sum1 explain to me, How kanade is there if she had Otanashi's heart, and more to the point, how did she get there BEFORE him?! Plus didn't get the ending. Was he alive, dead, Did he meet Kanade in a diff world?
anonymous Before Otonashi died, he gave permission to use his body and organs to save other people. Probably they used his heart to save Kannade. Because Kannade wanted to thank Otonashi, she probably died from regret, and ended up in that world. But somehow Otonashi arrived there later than kannade
Sky SapphireI'm left out. I don't get what's so great about the ending. Those holes in emotions and relations don't look unimportant, they seem like fruits of neglection. Characters seem more senseless than emotional. To me.

Dialogue: 0,0:17:47.80,0:17:55.02,main,,0000,0000,0000,,There are others like Yuri and Hinata and the rest, who couldn't find peace in life and will find there way here, right?

"there" instead of "their" >_
exectori don't get the ending at all, why it end like this? (now i 'm the one have a regret, ) >< hope i dont endup in that world >>>>
adam326About timeline:
I have an idea. In the afterlife time is not continuous. Or rather between life and afterlife. So if Otonashi died and came to world in that particular time. And even though Kanade died very much later, she arrived earlier in this world.(She looks young because her regret is from time she was young. Not being able to thank so who saved her life.) And after everything was solved in this world they went to another world(afterlife? reincarnation? does it really matter?).
Felix U. FonMany thanks Mazui staff

And

Angel Beats!
gaswatThank you for your hard work! ^^

This is a great seies but tbh I'm kinda disappointed with the ending, we don't get to see everyone attending the graduation ceremony.

But I guess it's natural given the lack of time...
Luis vi BritanniaThanks Mazui!
Best subs for the best anime this season!

Wow.... Maeda did it again... Great ending, made me cry

@the ones who dont know much about that world Otonashi was lost and ended up in there. Besides, thats just a place for you to find peace, not a replica of the alive world.
D AhrensThank you Adam. Thats exactly what I was thinking. Time has no meaning in the afterlife. They even mention that obliquely when Yurippe mentions they don't age or change with time.
gumplugAwesome subs guys! I really loved the work you did. Thanks for keeping up with it! Look forward to more from you guys :D
DarkChaplain*nods respectfully*
Thanks, Mazui.
You are one of the few groups that I can trust in.
There's no other group that sweetens my Saturday mornings so much aside from you.
While others tend to take half a week to sub the shows, you're always on time, thanks for your hard work and discipline.
Shadow@Niker:
Extra ep guess would be what would have happened had Otonashi chosen Yuri?

Yeah, just like Clannad OVAs, that's a pretty good guess and I wouldn't be surprised if you're right on the money.

@Martinez: I like that theory that Kanade pulled him in to alleviate her regret. My theory was more like adam326's where time in the afterlife is not linear, although both theories together are plausible, imo.

The ending, I would say that is them reuniting in another life. Similar to the Wolf's Rain ending in a way.
anonymousI think from this that the one who turned NPC was Kanade after she waited so long Kanade's feelings got so strong she stopped being an NPC and even Yuzuru was drawn into the world. Thanks for all your work Mazui. Angel Beats was truly awesome. Also my only regret and what you should have used as screenshot can be explained with that one screen where Yuri says "I wish we had more time" (Although it's Kanade's face that we see) Ah well I guess I can just hope for a game to come out.
riycouthanks all for what you do to bring good anime.
still its a sad thing that all good anime comes to an end. while some keeps going and we grow old of it.
armoredguyAnd this is the end. Thanks you Mazui for subbing all the episodes. This was the best cry ive had in a while.
adam326@Shadow:
Oh, I forgot to say that I'm totally including "Kanade's pulling Otonashi into this world" thing in my theory.
I mean, Otonashi appeared in this world because Kanade needed him to get rid of her regret. That would also explain why he came there after her. Because he wasn't needed in this world earlier.

I still haven't worked out this "who was NPC" thing. After ep12 I thought it was said it was Yuri, but know I have to think it over...
PrologueI don't think it's a what if he chose Yuri. They "had" to do it in Clannad to present all the game's stories. Tomoyo and Kyou/Ryou couldn't be well incorporated into the Nagisa arc after all..

Well... that's my hope. Back to watching a second time to understand the Yuri bit.

Thank you Mazui!
ShinMazui, thank you soooo much for tl this :)

I love oyu
PrologueNew theory! Kanade's life. We've seen Yuri's, Hinata's, Naoi's and Otonashi's, right?

And I guess Yuri's virtual life affected her...? Mada wakatenaiyo >
KupoI still think Otonashi as the NPC works best. The amnesia doesn't really explain why he is there since he remained when he remembered his past, which implies some kind of regret. If he didn't enter that world early, he should have reincarnated, but he didn't since he is still missing his heart. Hence I believe the amnesia is related to him turning into an NPC.

Then one can speculate if he met Kanade there earlier. He gave her his heart after all, which could explain why the programmer was in love.

Also: Thanks for the excellent speedsubs Mazui!
hayataThank you really much for subbing this great series!I appreciate your efforts and hope you continue this way !
RicardoNever wrote before, but this ending is so special so I must.

Thank you Mazui for your dedication and efforts.

And of thansks to Maeda Jun and the maker of the anime. Until next time
Bringerof_DAmazing ending, amazing subs. Thankyou for everything Mazui. i look forward to viewing more anime with your subs on them.

the only real flaw in this story is, How did Kanade end up there significantly earlier than Otonashi? I suppose it could work if there was a buffer zone where they decide where you go, where if you had regrets they send you to this world. as for Otonashi having lost his memories they had trouble deciding so his file got pushed to the side until a full investigation could be done by the proper department...but then they got lazy and said "wtf, we'll just put him here, he'll figure it out for himself."[\spoiler]
LeviathanXThanks for subbing this show!!!
Well, somehow it feels like as something is missing - gonna read the manga (they always leave out important things)...
PrologueCan anyone (ZeroX25) post the ending group picture like last week please? It finally has Kanade in it, but I think my player isn't made for screenshots since the result is slightly blurry >
NeoXA masterpiece as come to an end.

CDP5280I've been wondering if everyone in the afterlife appeared at the same age as when they died?
SSSWill you do a dvd release for this series, it well deserves it! cried like a little girl I did ;D
i forgotsad yet happy at the end T^T
SushiR00sterDear Mazui Fansubs. I greatly thank you from the bottom of my heart for subbing such a masterpiece of a series and lighting up my saturdays with such an absolutely outstanding subbing quality! Looking forward to your next project
vhince4005there is only one thing i can say now,

i will miss Angel Beats!,
it can make you cry in a different way.

if ever this series will have a sequel, i want Mazui to sub it. I guess a sequel about the reincarnation of them is a good thing, when Otonashi saw Kanade in the real world [ kawaii kanade in a short hair] ^^.
124c4allThe next series will be funny because after all it is a love comedy.

:)
MinatoThis was one of the best series I've ever seen. Mazui, I sincerely thank you for such great subbing of such an incredible show.
1948 fordwill there be any specials or ovas of this series that you would do?

great job with the subbing heres hoping that you get some good shows next season
zerotuesdayThank you so much for subbing Angel Beats. We all enjoyed your subs.
AmitluFor me it was one of the greatest anime shows I've ever watched and that is party thanks to you Mazui.
catland88Man, even if there's no next season, I'm watching everything these people make from now on.
I think I outcried Otonashi at the end there.
vhince4005@Amitlu not just you, but almost all of us pu this anime at the TOP of our Favorite/Best Anime.

I want another season if you will ask me, i will miss it a lot.
PrologueThanks again ZeroX25!

For a version of the novel:
http://subsmith.wordpress.com/2010/04/01/angel-beats-track-zero-chapter-1-a-rocket-for-two/

Anyone know where to get the radio compilation that was sold on June 23rd?
Jeong JunThis is my opinion of the ending and it explains all of what happened except how that guy in the 2nd computer lab knew about the creator.

This is what I think, our facts that are from that guy in the 2nd computer lab are, the creator of Angel Player made himself a NPC, was in that world because his loved one left that world and left HIM alone, and HE was the first one to have the emotion of love in that world.

If this is true the creator would most likely be Otonashi.

First of all, people might think he might have just come to that world when Yuri found him, but what if he was there all along. He had turned himself into a NPC so he had that uniform on, he could have had amnesia. There are many kinds of amnesia and there is ones where it can occur randomly. If he had this kind, it explains why he forgot about his real life and the life he had as the creator of that afterlife, with Yuri there telling him about how he just died he would believe he was not in that world before.

It kinda also doesn't make sense, but he was in love with Kanade and she left that world so he was left alone in that world and that was his regret. This ties in with what that guy in the second computer lab said, just that that guy somehow knew the future.
Immense FaggotI'm surprised Otonashi could disappear after that.
I wish that ending scene would last just a second longer.
Hinata's a bro up to the very end, eh?
Manny88Thank you so much for your great subs Mazui! also i would like to say that if it wasn't for you guys i would have probably never found out about such great series like To Aru Kagaku no Railgun (which got me into the whole To Aru Majutsu no Index series) and Angel Beats!.

Both were really good but there's just something about Key's work that is just amazing. i'm a huge fan of Clannad but i didn't know anything about Angel Beats! till you guys started subbing it. i started watching your subs during the 2nd season of Haruhi which i also have to thank you for!

Keep up the great work guys and i can't wait to see what you will be fansubbing next! ^^
chickenwingThank you for the show!
EthanthecrazyTK was the shit!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7F2qzHKIe5Q
ALnoivmeeI think Jeong Jung's theory is a pretty good idea,

But another theory I had in mind (much less complex than his) is that when wandering between worlds, it doesnt state the time taken or anything, so surely one could wander lost for longer than someone else?

maybe this is why Kanade was there first, she had a clear regret and went straight to the world. Bu Otonashi lost his memory, he could have been there a while. And as it says, he finally reachs that spot by accident.

As for the ending scene or re-union, Im stuck between whether it is some random ressurection/reincarnation in the future.
OR (more likely)
Otonashi's final thoughts before he finally left the world as the ending credits implies. What better thoughts that to be reincarnated with the girl he loves and meeting by chance.
Gah sorry for wall of text. OTL
ReNiiThanks so much!

do you remember the last part of AIR? i think it's the same as Angel Beats!

take a look at the two children in last part of AIR.....and pay attention to their dialogue.....
C.CSo are you guys gonna put together a batch? I regret deleting the previous episodes >_>
Just VisitingHey all,first and foremost,thank you very much for subbing the show!
Hmm just some thoughts. Throughout the whole show reincarnation seems to be a theme,remember the Barnacle Battlefront?And do correct me if I'm wrong,but it seems that the characters somehow know that reincarnation comes next,but refuse to accept it just yet.

It seems like those who are stuck in the school shoulder some sort of burden ie Yuri,refuse to accept their life,and fight against who they think is God,who they blame for being unfair,which was the SSS's true objective,wasn't it?
But in the end we learn that the place is for them to experience a happy youth,to somehow "complete" them,before "moving on" to whatever comes next.

When Yuri was temporarily NPC-ed,she mentioned that there is no meaning in being born again, as it will no longer be her life.She also said that if she were to accept this life and disappear,could she start over ie born again and be someone else's big sis,perhaps? Perhaps this hints that its the same soul,yet different existence.
The mysterious fellow in EP12 said that the chances of the lovers meeting again is "astronomically small,but not zero." Again hinting at reincarnation,but that EP was confusing,so do forgive me if Im wrong.
Perhaps in the end,they did not meet as Otonashi Yuzuru and Tachibana Kanade,but as two different persons tied by fate.
The former Prime Minister Hatoyama's wife famously claimed that she met Tom Cruise in her previous life. If Maeda based the theology of AB off of Shintoism,which seems likely (Lets say whatever happens to them depends on whatever religion they believed in while alive,which most likely be Shintoism,Takeyama seems to be an instance of popular culture,not really hinting at the theology of Christianity,cause for Christianity there is no worldly rebirth.) then I'm guessing that everybody was reincarnated,retaining the soul,but living as a different person,but my sincerest apologies if I'm wrong.
One last thing,the singles,especially Shine Days and Little Braver,seem to convey the message of "I'll always be together with you". Wow that was long,my bad,another wall of text. All in all,I think we would all like to think that Otonashi and Kanade (Yui and Hinata!) met up at last.
Just Visiting> < Cant resist.The chronology of it all is still boggling. Maybe Kanade was Otonashi's 2nd love >< For some reason I feel like my previous post seems to be beating around the same bush,guess what I'm trying to say was that its entirely possible for Otonashi and Kanade to meet after they reincarnated,albeit as different people.Bittersweet ending
KenJust a thought, but in the finale, kanade said that otonashi's heart saved her life, so why is she in the afterlife school earlier than otonashi when he died first? just an opinion, any thoughts?
garbothanks for subbing
Just Visiting@Ken
Boggling,eh? :) All I can think of for now is that the place doesn't have a set timeline,as in who dies first gets there earlier,perhaps it depends on the person's soul or how lost they are. Like what ALnoivmee said,different people,different pace.Wandering souls perhaps. Just a thought ;)
SSaSIf I had to say what I think happened, here it is.

Otonashi never died, or at least not straight away, maybe he went into Cardiac arrest, and was brought to the Hospital, that's where he may have been placed on a Life support machine, after the doctors see that Otonashi wanted his organs donated, they took his heart out and gave it to kanade, kanade wanted to thank him for the Heart, she went to the after life to see him, for when he dies as she knew he would go there.
Also at the very begining of the show, Yuri and Hinata talk about the new recruit, Otonashi, in the way that he's been there a lot longer than just falling from the sky, so maybe he was in that world for a while just asleep or so?

So confusing, but still, got to love this show,best I've ever seen.
anonymousthanks mazui for great subs! I always loved the "KEY's" works I started with clannad then Air then Kanon, now here with angel beats!

these kinds of stories always make me baww with manly tears, ending was confusing and i demand closure! i hope theres closure, like epilogue...
Encheta

As my first comment here I'd Like to thank Mazui for this brilliant sub! After stumbling accross you folks to download Railgun, and then moving to AngelBeats out of interest, You are my without doubt my favourite subbers!

Now, since everybody's talking about the ending I'll throw in my musings for people to mull over: The guy in the 2nd computer lab said that the creator of Angel Player made himself a NPC to wait for the one he loved that left left him in that world alone.

He also said that if love manifests itself that world can turn into an eternal paridise, which cannot be allowed to happen. HOWEVER, on rare occasions someone who has had a fullfilling life for the sake of others will wander in, due to amnesia, and is when this love manifestation bug uccurs. Sound familiar, thinking about Otonashi and looking at the final scene in the series?

Now here's another thing: To me there seemed to be some distinction between the Angel Player SOFTWARE and the PROGRAMS it runs to do things. Yuri destroyed all the computers in the 2nd computer room, making it highly likely the NPC creation program was destroyed with them, but the AngelPlayer software is still available in Kanade's comp (and possibly elsewhere).

What I propose is that it is in fact a sort of afterlife LOOP of Otonashi. After Kanade dissappears he, overcome with grief, (re)creates the NPC program and turns himself into an NPC, set off by love and set to release him when Kanade (and perhaps the others) are back and so on. Ironically, Yuri's love for everyone in the Afterlife Battlefront also sets off the program, and since Otonashi doesn't know that he has done this before, it is a neverending loop..
EnchetaOh I forgot to also say that this theory is based off of what the 2nd computer room guy said that the chances of a person reentering the world was infantismally small, but not zero, too.

P.S. Sorry for the huge wall of text there
SSaSThat's really good Encheta :D Sounds very believable, I can't wait to watch the last special episode :D but that will be a while now
:-(
SheepGreat series.

"It kinda also doesn't make sense, but he was in love with Kanade and she left that world so he was left alone in that world and that was his regret. This ties in with what that guy in the second computer lab said, just that that guy somehow knew the future."

That was also my first theory.

In the other EDs, Yurippe doesn't fade in the scene but she starts off in the picture solidly as if she was apart of the scene. And then everyone else starts fading into the picture along side of her.

During the last ED, it starts off as everyone being in the picture and people fading away one by one in the order they 'moved on', mirroring the other EDs. When I was watching it, I knew that the last one wouldn't be Yurippe, but Otonashi. I was expecting him to be left in the picture alone, and not fade just like how Yurippe was alone in the other ones, implying that he did not 'move on' and was stuck in that world to wait for Kanade just like how the 2nd computer room guy 'predicted'.

But when he actually did disappeared (which surprised me actually), it meant that he was able to 'move on' as well, making my theory unlikely.



Also, I
PatrickBWow... Just wow...
What an ending... Well, guess this was to be expected with Key doing this show, but still...

Thanks Mazui! Now I only have to wait for the next season (Ookami-san, right?) and Katanagatari. Love your subs and speedy releases!
Dude@Sheep, if you look closely, they didn't all disappear in the order they moved on.
SheepYeah, I wrote that RIGHT after I finished watching it. The last few actually did disappear in the correct order though.
inara963Thank you to the whole team here at Mazui. Really appreciate the time you take to provide us with the HQ subbed uploads.
Keep up the great work :-)
randomguyfirst of all, thank you guys so much for doing the subs, you are all awesome! :D

The title of this anime finally makes sense now, lol. And I guess we will never figure out how Yuri died and what's the story with TK
DVDReleaseI heard episode 14 (or w/e you call the DVD/BD limited release) is going to be a cross over with Sponge Bob Square Pants where they meet BARNACLE Boy.
Lancety for the great work, keep it up :)
shiftynouThank you Mazui. Thank you so very much for all of your hard work :].
carotte-chanthanks so much! great job on the whole series :D
yahzeehi jama
budzfreakwill you sub the OVA in December?
thanks keep it up i love your subs!
Athan10Thanks for a great sub Mazui.

Wonderful show nice ending... at the very end. It was killing me when Kanade disappeared on him. I think the final end was a reincarnation of both of them.

I think I agree that Onotashi was the programmer. My thought is he and Kanade met before because they both died at the time of the heart transplant. He died giving up his heart and maybe she "died" for a few seconds or minutes on the table but was brought back.

Since time doesn't mean anything in that world he met her long enough to fall in love but she was suddenly pulled back. So, he was there for years while she lived. He thought the regret would carry over for her and she'd return to him but years for her was much longer for him in the afterlife world.

She seemed to be there before him because he was an NPC. Maybe his program wasn't able to wake him on time because of the insanity thing.
shimon@randomguy

yuri was killed last after all her siblings were killed by the burglars
TorfindraI just discovered Angel Beats and I am very thankful that you subbed this series. Is it possible to release a batch of this? I am having trouble getting all of the episodes. Thank you once again. :)
OoPI drew an entirely different conclusion - that Kanade was his sister. But, in hindsight, maybe other explanations would mesh better with Otonashi's dialog. Like the transplant concept.

Nice food for thought. :)
GentlemanOh god sub the drama CDs.

Your work is awesome.
OrionBased on how I understand it I would say that otonashi never met kanade before the start. also if you listen to what she says at the end you can see her only regret in life was never telling him thankyou for giving her, her youth. from this we can see that she gets his heart and does indeed live a full life unlike most of the others. but because of this regret she comes to the school.

Since she came there before him we can say that the time you die to the time you arrive is not a fix amount.

Also why would the npc tell yuri that the programmer created the program so long ago that his name would have no meaning if otonashi was the programmer the name would have meaning therefor we know that the programmer is not otonashi.

As for the ending it would have to be resurection since she is humming the song that was sung when the guitar chick dissapeared and since she would not have known that song prior to arriving at the school its impossible for the scene to be a flash back.
ZeroX25@Orion
You might have wanted to put up a spoiler tag.
OrionNothing in my post needed a spoiler tag. The heart part was talked about in previous post without tags and the rest of my post is based off previous episodes and is mostly theory.
SivaThanks for the subs.
ScarletI don't think Otonashi was the programmer. It does sort of hint that he could be, when the NPC mentioned that people who had fulfilling lives would wander in due to amnesia (could suggest it happened once, and then he got amnesia again). But when he recovered his memories, he didn't recover any from the time he was in the afterlife before, like some suggest, so that makes it seem less likely. And since the NPC didn't have any reason to lie he probably meant it when he said it was so long ago that it didn't matter who the person was who made it.

They do mention that souls get lost when they have amnesia, right? Since he had it, he was probably lost and wandered around for years before finally stumbling into that world and meeting everyone. Possibly with the help of Kanade's regret pulling him in.

(Oh, another reason why I don't like some of these theories is because they're too complex, and it'd just seem too cruel for the creators to not give more info for it)
vhince4005I Think we can clear our selves about the ending of Angel Beats! on december.

I Expect Mazui to be the Subber of the Angel beats Special. an unaired Episode.

http://myanimelist.net/anime/9062/Angel_Beats!_Special
DVDReleaseNo chance; it's just a cross over with Sponge Bob Square Pants where the front meets BARNACLE Boy.
TomThanks a lot Mazui!!!!
i've never been so touched by an anime series....i've cried at time while watching this anime.......and yet I call myself a man...
THX MAZUI FOR BRINGING SUCH A GOOD SERIES!!!!
Arcc@Tom: It's totally legit for a man to cry when watching a Key anime. Even Kamina's eyes get watery at episode 10 of Kanon.
Salt, PeterThe original player was Okazaki Tomoya and or Ushio from Clannad.
Other world: check.
Not remembering the real world: check.
The happiness balls of light: check.
waiting for loved one: check.
history of mental instability (tomoya only): check.
Prologue@shimon: Yuri survived that episode. For one thing, she grew. For another, she mentioned the cops getting there after thirty minutes.

@Salt, Peter: I'll second Tomoya, though that would make Angel Beats! way too Clamp-y... Can't believe that in the Tomoyo After manga, they actually kill Tomoya off -_-

Anyone watching Working!!? I just realized today they also have Otonashi's voice actor in there. As mentioned in episode 12, there is also Irie's (Irie being the drummer). And of course, Yui's (Eri Kitamura fan).
DVDRelease@Prologue
Who also voices DRRR's Orihaya Izaya.
jackThanks Mazui for subbing this. The one time a week my brother and I can sit down and share a common activity, and have a common subject to talk about is our "anime time".
You guys are bringing families together. Thanks for Angel Beats
kousukethanks a lot to mazui for doing angel beats, it's been a great time.
i really want to hear the full version of ichiban no takaramono by karuta T.T
i notice it's a bit different from lisa's version (yui ver.)
gnoah what a tear jerking ending (T^T)
gnooh yeah tanks MAZUI for subbing!
@Kousukehere : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qp3acWyAaA8 brilliant song. Nyaatorrents released the Girls Dead Monster album in FLAC format as well. This song is included
AlienGamerBtw the above comment was me :S. and for those that dont understand Jap, like me, read the lyrics here: http://atashi.wordpress.com/2010/06/27/angel-beats-insert-song-%E2%80%93-ichiban-no-takaramono-yui-ver/ its freakin beautiful and touching.
Just Visiting@AlienGamer
Ichiban brings a tear to the eye. Listening through the first 1 minute was touching enough (Yui!! KANADE!!!) >< Hmm I know this sounds ridiculous,but does LiSA somehow sound she is tearing up at the end of the song?Her voice starts becoming "teary",although it may be just because that she is singing very loudly and its her voice breaking.
But,nonetheless,easily one the most memorable anime songs.Double thumbs up!Would give three if I had 'em :)
Btw,@kousuke,do correct me if I'm mistaken,the karuta version of Ichiban will be released with the OST on the 28th of July. Instead of a guitar, the main melody will be a piano,which makes it all the more sadder >
Just VisitingOh for those who might be wondering,I got the info from the Angel Beats main site.
My understanding of Japanese is limited to reading only,mostly due to being able to read Kanji,native Mandarin speaker.From what I can translate,it says [The song,Ichiban no Takaramono, in the final episode was sung by karuta.This version of the song will be included in the OST on the 28th July.] My apologies if I got anything wrong.Enjoy!
martinezohhh....Ichiban no Takaramono is the second song that made me cried when i listened to it.

the first song is....Negai wo Kanata Kara....the song from Lucky Star....that Kanata Izumi, Konata's mother sang. it's her image song.....if you listen to it and remember the sacrifices that your mother gives....u'll also cry like me...
DarkMaverickIt's obvious people. He wanted to help people and make a difference which he did pretty well in his real life. So God sent him there to help the others pass on. It's that simple! I do miss Yui-nyan big time :(
MacrossIf it was me before every girls disappear i try to make love to every single one of them 1st
E-FoxJun Maeda!! you made me cry, take resposibility for this.. ehehe~

XithyI'd just like to say, thanks for doing such a great job with this series guys. Keep up the great work. Definitely the best fansub group of the year
EmphraimI've never commented on this site, but I just want to say thank you for providing quality subs every week for this great series.

Also since I've never commented in the respective series comments, thank you for subbing the second season of Haruhi and Spice and Wolf.
anonymousi cried lil bit :'(
StefanodmI almost cried the hell out of it! (ALMOST)
Captain KingThanks a lot for all your hard work Mazui; tears were shed, and as a grown man I am okay with that.
SonicmanGOOD JOB DUDER!

CaekThe ending was touching it made my eyes tear a bit,srly,I don't cry (much).
I love Mazui.
I love Angel Beats.

T.T
seederHey guys i need a batch to seed. I dont want the Mazui torrents to die so i would seed them-if there werent 13 of them. Now i will have to delete theem all since after backing the xvids up they just take up the space on my HDD. Please just throw out a batch torrent a lot of ppl have the files already. It wont take long on a good computer(about 5 mins with submitting it to TT.)
UlrezajWe're correcting the various little errors in the episodes before releasing a batch. Expect it soon.
RodaaThanks for doing what you guys do. You're simply the best. Keep it up!
NathanAwesome job, good show.
AnonymousTYVM for subbing Angel Beats, but how can you hate T.K. and his engrish?
RyuumiGaroukuniGood Job Mazui... Angel Beats! was awesome!

TK is the greatest!
KalGreat job guys! I did not know about your group until this anime. And you guys rock!

This anime was also very nice, and a bit different from the rest (I cried like a little girl in the end. And I'm pretty old, and not a girl).

Thank you.
mewill you ever make a batch for this? an Xvid batch, preferrably. :P
Tuatar@ Kal, same here with the crying :)

Thanks you guys for awesome subbing, I couldn't have enjoyed Angel Beats! without you. Thanks so much; you guys rock XD
Weep tear duct leakage
anonymousHah, Otonashi got owned.
MrTRanCeEviLThannkz Mazui!!
Gero~ Gero~ (^_^)~..
anonMake a batch release please.
OiDThanks Mazui for all your hard work!
NotsonobleJust found Mazui a while back as an accident. Decided to try Angel Beats after being pleased with Ookami (the accident that brought me here). This series was great, that ending was wonderful... and very painful to someone who's also suddenly alone.
XswordcraftXWow.... this show is good for 2010. Hope to see a batch with minor mistakes edited soon. Also hope that mazui can sub the coming OVA.
lilly_938Thanks Mazui! This was the first Mazui show I watched and I have been with you guys since (BRS, Ookami, and now OreImo). Are you waiting for the special to release the batch?
WatcherZeroEp 14 is out, are you subbing it?
JackyWhy did she the Kanade wanted to go? Why is the main character still in that world?
Why couldn't the main character just go like away?
I want to know these answers, abit confused. :
Email me at alexha48@yahoo.com or stevenlam684@yahoo.com
MastershinjiCan you guys seed just a bit more this episode... it seems dead.

Thanks for your work, :D
