As promised, now that the spoiler-free review is out of the way, I can get to writing some of my more specific thoughts about Angel Beats!, and what better topic to look at than the one that I feel like most people end have talked about?
So let’s take a look at Angel Beats!’ biggest criticism.
We left off last episode with Suruga Kanbaru just about to hear the story about how Rouka Numachi began collecting the various body parts of the devil. And so, let’s hear it.
Also featuring some info regarding cars in Japan at the end, because the topic sort of comes up in this episode.
Last episode, we were given Tsubasa Hanekawa’s predicament: something is causing Black Hanekawa to emerge once again. But what?
In addition, the abandoned cram school had burned down.
Was it the Tiger’s doing?
Tsubasa Hanekawa saw a Tiger.
And so her story continues.
We continue following the story of Tsubasa Hanekawa.
Her family’s home has burned down, and after spending a night at the abandoned cram school, Hitagi Senjougahara found her and took her in, where the two proceeded to go to sleep despite it being morning.
From one Nekomonogatari to the next!
Here we are with Tsubasa Tiger, which for me personally is one of the most memorable arcs in the Monogatari Series, as it’s the only one is told from Tsubasa Hanekawa’s perspective. And it’s one of the few that is not told from Koyomi Araragi’s perspective.
This is it, the conclusion for Tsubasa Family as well as Nekomonogatari: Kuro. A lot happens here, so hopefully I’ll be able to cover most of it.
Tsubasa Hanekawa has been taken over by a cat.
After nearly killing Koyomi Araragi, Meme Oshino has decided to step in and take responsibility for dealing with this development himself.
We continue through the motions of the story that was already covered in Bakemonogatari, with more detail this time. Tsubasa Hanekawa has revealed that her parents are not really her parents, and that her dad had hit her. And now it gets worse…
With Nisemonogatari completed, we once again go back in time to Golden Week, back to that time when Tsubasa Hanekawa was taken over by a meddling cat.
