In response to your spoilered stuff:
1) Riki and Rin not being strong enough to survive without the Little Busters was the regret of three of the eight, so yeah, you can say its more important than the rest. Its one of the six reasons the fake world was created. 2) Riki and Rin didn’t originally have a regret, or more specifically, they had no part in the creation of the world until the end of Refrain.

So… not very?
[/quote]Yeah, thats kinda what I’m guessing.

AB could have fit into 13 episodes, if they understood the scope of the story and the limits of 13 episodes.
[/quote]Angel Beats was originally planned for 26 ep, then got cut. It could have worked as 13 ep, but it would have been a completely different story, and not probably very amazing at all.
I don’t know, I might be the only one, but I’m almost happy they screwed the anime up in the way that they did. Because then they had a extremely incomplete story, which Maeda wanted to complete, and the fan wanted to be completed, and now we get a huge VN that can encompass a story larger and more complex and more incredible than any anime version could be.
