<pre>Salutations,
This Friday, we will be holding our famed Valentine's Day marathon, at which we will watch Angel Beats. When I say 'marathon', I mean just that: we will be watching the series in its entirety. All 13 episodes, plus the OVA.
Angel Beats begins with a young man named Otonashi waking up at a strange high school. He is told that he has died, and joins a resistance force that fights against the powers that be. It's implied that he and the rest of the members of the Battlefront are in purgatory, but feel free to form your own opinions on what's really going on.
A couple fun facts about Angel Beats: The story was written by Jun Maeda of Key Visual Arts, who was also responsible for Kanon, Air, and Clannad. Otonashi means 'silence'; this may or may not be significant. During the original TV run, a Japanese website held a character popularity poll. Angel was the most popular, followed very closely by TK. All other characters received little to no votes. The piano note played during the eyecatches is middle A.
Join us this Friday, February 10th, at 9 PM in Burchard 118 for a great anime, pizza, snacks, beverages, and all the rest.<br /><br />See you there,<br /><br />Chris Bowers<br />An Secretary<br /> <br />PS: If you haven't already, you should get on DuckSync!
