J's Chimes: A War With God And Love

Angel Beats had finally came to an end on the 13th episode with the lead characters attending a graduation ceremony out of this alternate world that was supposedly created by God to help people to fulfill their dreams in life in which they never had when they are alive. The storyline in episode 1 was really complicated that you'd had absolutely no idea what was going on until you've actually watched everything. Somehow the term 'God' and other related stuff was used once again and twisted into another story of its very own, one that makes one ponder about life as we know it...


Have rather mix feelings for this episode because the way each and everyone of them left is just so saddening. Which bring to the point like what is happening in our everyday lives. One day we would have to move on, and our friends will slowly leave us one by one to pursue their own path in life. And so nothing really is forever unless you'd make the most and cherish your friendship... It is seriously hard to maintain a friendship because both parties are tied up with the many stresses and problems in life that you'd really have no time to meet up for a little chat. And thus friendships are gone in that instance. Episode 13 tells just how people like us would feel at that very moment in time.


However, the worse part is definitely saying goodbye forever to the one you love dearly... Would you selfishly keep her by your side or sacrifice for your love ones to let her pursue her destiny or dream, etc? I really can't answer this question at all because I am in his situation before... And sacrificing for your love ones really isn't a good thing to do... makes you really sad. I believe at times love really have to be selfish in order to be with her always. The sweetest part is the short ending where the 2 cross paths with each other when they are reborn in the real world... If there's really such thing as fate or destiny, I would really wanna believe in it and not be seriously emo-ing about love and life... Hope that they'd make a new season for this wonderful anime...
