Criticism

Anime "Angelic rhythms", whose characters are so active, received positive reviews, thanks to the original combination of various elements, humorous moments, as well as songs of the musical group. In the mystical anime the theme of dissatisfaction of the dead from their earthly life is often used - this topic is not something new. But all the dead people are gathered in one place, and then they even create their own society - this is the main difference between the series "Angel Beats" (Angel Beats). The critics' reviews were positive - they noted a large number of unexpected turns of the plot, thanks to which by the end the series is already quite different than it was in the beginning. The disadvantage of the series is that it is very short, and during this time it is difficult to fully reveal all the characters.

A beautiful anime, in which humor and drama are harmoniously combined, will not leave spectators indifferent. And having looked through the whole series, it will be regrettable only that it has ended. But in this case you can always look again.
