UPDATE: The official, HD upload of Angel Beats! -1st beat-'s opening movie has been released by VisualArt's!

Today marks the beginning of Comiket Special 6 - OTAKU SUMMIT 2015- in the Makuhari Messe convention center in Chiba, Japan. Comiket Special was one of the upcoming events that Key has lined up for 2015, and we mentioned it in our previous news entry here.

I was able to attend the event today, and, at the sales booth, they were offering items such as an Angel Beats! -1st Beat- Set containing a copy of Heartily Song (4 days before the commercial release date!), planetarian English Edition, some Charlotte tapestries, and even an Angel Beats! wallet costing 20,000 yen (around $170 US).

On the side of the sales booth, however, they had a large TV screen scrolling advertisements for HOLY BREAKER!, planetarian English Edition, CLANNAD International Edition, and Angel Beats! -1st beat-'s opening sequence, Heartily Song! This is the first time that this opening sequence has been revealed to the public, and it shouldn't be long until they upload it for public viewing online. In the meantime, I took a short snippet of the video, as a sneak preview of what the upcoming Visual Novel has in store for everyone, so take a look!

VisualArt's has been going all-out with their promotion of Angel Beats! and are slowly revealing more and more information as the release date approaches. All this new info is just increasing the overall hype for the game, and, frankly, it's just getting me and everybody else more excited!

I’m fairly certain he’s supposed to be in the first snippet of the bros. I wouldn’t be against this OP being unfinished. /shrug

“Nobody even new his name, so we just took him out of the VN completely.”

He is in the opening, don’t worry. This was just a short snippet of the ending, but he’s in the other parts… Weird that, despite showing all the other characters, they didn’t show him :stuck_out_tongue: ah well

I would like to just go there and buy everything :3

I really like it… it feels strangely good. Like it’s got many of the best ideas and feels from the original series, while there would be tons of new wham moments. Thanks for sharing. I’m going to buy this one for sure asap.

Yeah, I was referring only to the portion of the video you recorded. With so many characters, they would forget one… Fujimaki was the unlucky.

Edit: Full OP <3

Man the graphics are so god damn good! I honestly thought Rewrite’s graphics were amazing but in comparison to AB, it looks like a toddler made it with legos.

lol key you can’t just take something from LB’s OP and put it in a new OP you hacks.

Middle part is nice, where Kanade shreds that Piano and then has a really badly animated fight with Yuri, and Lia’s yell after.
Much nice.

Everything about the song and the OP is amazing it, and while watching it, I was subconsciously smiling. That’s how I know I am hype and I am seriously pondering whether or not I should get 1st beat.
