Angel Beats! - Visual Novel Details & Ongoing Speculation

uhmmm yeah… I’m going to change my words. Irie is the less prominent female character in the franchise.

Hisako, Yusa and Shiina had a relevant part of Heaven’s Door and they have many appereances, or even Sekine, who was the protagonist of Track Zero. I remember Irie had a chapter in the 4-koma manga, when she mistakes Char for a bear and is all I remember about her.

No doubt that for some reason some people can like her but her role is less prominent that the other female characters and I am surprised that she has more fans that Yusa, Hisako and Shiina (according the poll).

#220

You’re telling me, Shiina es numero uno!. But in all reality, Irie has the stupid and cute vibe with her personality that Yusa, Hisako, and Shiina don’t necessarily have at her level. And as we know with Japan… Cute things rule over everything.

Well look at it from the point of view of the Key workers. Having a Masami character means they had to make a band and recording studios and a lot of extra work with her. Key workers are probably lazy and hated the fact that extra work had to be done with that character.

So they just posted the stuff that they’re going to sell at AnimeJapan on their website. http://key.visualarts.gr.jp/info/2015/03/animejapan2015.html It’s a lot of AB VN related stuff, can anyone give me the specifics of the items so I can go to a corner and cry cause i’ll never be getting it? Unless… BASED Pepe will be going.

Yeh, I saw that post but there’s more than just a car in what Key posted I believe. There’s like a CD, a strap on of something, and I think a booklet. Unless i’m just over complicating the simple items they have.

#226

(I think) it basically says that they will be selling that limited edition poster and coaster at “x” times at the event, as well as that paper car replica and whatever that art-ish thing is.

#227

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to attend this weekend :frowning: that itasha papercraft looks sweeeet tho T3T

#228

Is that a feather for a cursor? Interesting.

#230

The katakana text “Tetra Pot” is framed in the background of the second screenshot? Wonder if that has any meaning

Tried deciphering some of the text outside the game screen, but no success. I’m curious what that program behind Yuri is though.

#231

Upon seeing those pictures, I subconsciously squee’d. HYPE!!!

So the official Key Twitter just posted this,

I can only infer from this picture and the first 2 words that this is an underpaid worker who is working late nights just to provide for his family and deliver the AB VN to all fans.

I didnt really look at it when it passed my timeline but I just naturally assumed it was Maeda continuing to not be asleep

These are the *fully colored pictures you’d get if you pre-ordered from so and so site, and holy lewdness man…

Also, it’s pretty weird that the 2 Yuris are different. The first one is from the anime style drawing, and the second one is more CGI and AB VN drawing.

I might be missing something but… Is that two Kanades? (Red eyed, yellow eyed.) Or (Anime spoiler) Is that her alternate (wolf/howl) self? Note: I’ve only read the first translated chapter of the Heaven’s Door manga.

#238

Yeah they revealed the actual bonuses a while back, but those were just rough sketches. These are the final designs for the people who preorder.

Yeah that is pretty much all there is to it. At least, as far as we know, that is all there is to it.
