Why is Angel Beats so goddamn overrated?!

Well, in some ways, I do agree with you; Angel Beats isn't nearly as good as everyone makes it out to be. However, you can't help what people like, and a large portion of anime fans on Fanpop decided they like Angel Beats. I personally didn't find it boring in the slightest, but if you did, that's your opinion as well. I think Sword Art Online is beyond overrated, but tons of people on here like it, so I cope with their obsession, because I enjoy this site. If I could come up with a classier way to say this, then believe me, I would, but - deal with it.

What isn't fucking overrated to you guys, I promise there is not one thing that you guys do not think is overrated besides, what you like.
You people hate on so many things, to the point where it pisses me off.
Shut the fuck up, dear god.
It's all opinions.

YES YES YES I KNOW! I say ever since angel beats got on netflix it became popular. I use to like angel beats because it was a good ipakita but then ever since it became popular all you hear are these stupid tagahanga girls 'OMFG ANGEL BEATS IS THE SADDEST ANIME OUT THERE' no it's not.

I got bored with it, too. I forgot what episode I stopped on, but I know I didn't finish it.

It's an amazing show. The whole point is about moving on and it's really touching and hart breaking. The reasons Yuri is better than death the kid?: because she has actual development, and is an endearing character. Honestly everyone has their own taste I loved that anime you hate it there's a lot of shows I don't get why people like them so much

It's not overrated. Because it deserves every bit of pag-ibig it gets. It has a good plot, depth, heart, emotion, amazing characters, beautiful music, beautiful animation, and strong messages.

Anime like Highschool of the Dead is overrated, because it is a horrible perverted anime. With horrible characters, gross animation, and zero plot depth.
Bella sisne is overrated, because she is a horrible put together character.

Angel Beats =/= Overrated.

Well, for those who think it's boring, i say no. I watched that anime in one night because it didn't bore me in the slightest. Anime's are only overrated to the people who don't enjoy certain kinds.

It's because it is an awesome anime. People like anime like that. And that ipakita is anything but boring! The anim is action-packed yet also filled with sad moments of each characters life. And it's also very funny!

Yeah Kid is a funny and symmetrical- loving kid, but Yuri is just a better than funny, and symmetrical loving. She shares sad, and personal stories. She does her best to lead her team. And you have to admit. That's better then what Kid does.

OVERRATED is in the eye of the beholder. ALOT of people thought Infinite Stratos wasn't good to begin with. They either hate it or pag-ibig it. Most hated it. I happen to pag-ibig it. Likes and dislikes are in the eye of the beholder. Making an outburst like that will not change anything. if people wanna like it let them like it. Apparently you wasn't in walang tiyak na layunin for Hetalia explosion. If you saw that you wouldn't be complaining about this now. Honestly... Complaining won't solve anything. It'll just aggravate people. I think some animes are overrated but the thing it is my taste.

I like Angel Beats,Soul Eater,Infinite Stratos and Code Geass. Is there something wrong with my opinion? No there isn't because it is my opinion. All of them gave me unique stories and I enjoyed them. Seriously you cannot stop people from liking something. I pag-ibig DTK but he is overrated. No one talks about the other Soul Eater characters as much as DTK. It's the same with other animes you've mentioned. Their main characters or popular characters get all the attention. As much as I dislike it I know doing something like this won't solve anything. People will like what they choose to like. Just like they cannot choose what you should like. Alot of people hate Infinite Stratos yet you and I like it. On fanpop alot of animes are far overrated but that doesn't mean they are not good. Overrated does not necessarily mean bad. Also I happened to pag-ibig SAO but alot of people didn't. It depends on your taste above all.

The main answer to this is: Dislikes and likes are relative to everyone.

I sincerely pag-ibig this anime so I would NEVER think it's overrated, but people just don't like certain kinds of anime and they just don't wanna handle things like "How was Angel Beats" or "Was Angel Beats good? Do you recommend it?" People will just answer no, either because they didn't enjoy it or are just to lazy to actually answer... I On the other hand Think people ought not overrate things just because of your compatibility with the anime, so my answer is, people have their opinions and we must respect that, while people with honest opinions must be recognized AND respected, all the more.

Yeah, Angel Beats is a little boring. I tried to watch it before, but I didn't continue because I got bored at the very first episode. But when a lot of people sinabi that it will make me cry, I tried watching it again. It wasn't completely boring, it was great and it's a really cool anime. But, I also think Sword Art Online, Soul Eater, Infinite Stratos and other anime as such is cooler.

And just respect other people's opinions. Maybe they liked it because it teaches you about life and they just appreciate the lessons that the anime gives...

I don't like any character, except Yuzuru, that blue haired friend of his (yeah, yeah, forgot his name...), and Angel. I don't like Yuri that much... I think Death the Kid and lelouch is WAY better. The plot is okay, and there is some touching parts, but really, it wuz a Clannad play-off to me. Though, I do think SAO is way WORSE than Angel Beats. I just hate every character, and I kind of thought of it as a Accel World rip-off. Just another weirdo's opinion here!

(Oh! Angel Beats iz awesome, because pizza Hut tagatangkilik them, just like Code Geass XD!)

I agree with you. Angel Beats! gets madami praise than it deserves. The series does have a good uplifting aspect, but its characters all have a little TOO much personality, if that makes any sense, and aren't very well-written, overall. I think they're annoying, but that's my opinion. The plot and its execution is bland and poor.

As for the answer to your question? It's because the series is aimed at a crowd in their mid-teens, or so, and its messages, story, and the specific emotions presented sa pamamagitan ng its characters are meant for those viewers to connect with, and it seems to work. I didn't have any connection with it, myself. It isn't really my kind of thing. (I'm not saying I'll shoot down any series centered around the emotional story arcs of teen characters. My segundo paborito anime is CLANNAD.)

If I want an emotional series, I'll watch Code Geass or Elfen Lied. If I want a series with a good and deep message and well-written characters, I'll watch Death Note or Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. Angel Beats!, I'll have to turn down.

Overall, I think it isn't anything special, from a critical standpoint, and that, with the fact that it receives as much praise as it does, has lead me to disliking it.

IT IS NOT OVERRATED, YALL JUST H8IN

To the people that don't think it's overrated, you probably don't like to watch Action with Romance. Angel Beats has the lack of Action and Romance. It has tiny bit of action with a tiny bit of romance. Have you really seen the main character falling in love, or ACTUALLY fighting? Nope. Angel Beats have few minutos of action, then stop. Angel Beats is madami a Drama anime than action and romance. Just to let you know, yes angel beats is sad, but not enough to make to cry. Sword Art Online has everything: Action, Romance, "Game anime", and Adventure.

Thank you. This series is the most overrated series in the entire anime genre. Kanade was a bland character as was Otonashi. Hinata was meh. The only character I liked was Yuri Nakamura and Yui. I actually laughed when Kanade disappeared. I really did.

It was okay.

I have two things to say:

1. Yes, Angel Beats is a bit overrated. However, despite its flaws, you shouldn't go as far as to compare to to a mediocre anime like Infinite Stratos. Unlike IS, AB! has well-devised characters, great music, etc. Don't like it? Good for you. Respect people's opinions.

2. You are close-minded :D

Death the Kid doesn't even compare to Yuri. Kid has no complexity or character depth whatsoever, while Yuri has truckloads of it. Kid may be funny, but that's about all he's got going for him.

Thanks, for calling it overrated....
Before pagbaba this I though that I was the only who feone who feels this way
