I dont really know how to feel about Noda, sure he had a few interesting bits but it really wasnt much and he was a bit hot headed even though it seems he had nothing but good intentions. (for yuri at least XD)
It has been quite a long while since I watched angel beats and to be honest the details around him are kind of fuzzy but I can say I thought of him in sort of a neutral way, I didnt like or dislike him
I do agree though that his character story does have potential It would definitely give me the chance to resolve my neutral feelings for better or worse. (hopefully better)
Also I would be cool to find out why hes so love struck with Yuri, I dont actually remember if they said it before but I think they didnt.
