I felt a little let down when I saw Angel Beats, to be honest. I really enjoyed the ending, and a few plot points here and there, but it felt like they had too much content for a 1-cour show and not enough for a 2-cour, so it ended up feeling a bit rushed, jerking between comedy and tragedy.

Though I think my issue was expecting it to live up to the heights set by Clannad, the eternal final boss of cry-porn. Clannad drained me in a way I didn't think was possible, and rewatches of key scenes STILL destroy me years later. I can't go near wheat fields anymore. 11/10, would have multiple breakdowns while contemplating the value of family, again.

How does the anime adaptation compared to the original game? Should I watch it or play it out?

EDIT: Just found out that the Angel Beats anime came first before the game, so this question should be the other way around but… at this point this original question have become moot, so ignore it

Ngl, had no idea it was a game. Just watched it and loved it and completely broke apart
