ANGEL BEATS Episode 1:「Depature」







The episode kicked off with a male protagonists (Otonashi) voiced by Kamiya Hiroshi finds himself in a middle of a ambush the heroin (Yuri) voiced by Sakurai harumi prepared with the gang against Angel ( tenshi). In the middle of the battle Otonashi’s got knocked out and realised that he was already dead and arrived in the world of afterlife. A live concert was featured by the end of the episode. The first episode introduces the characters and later as the episodes goes on; we get to see each character’s personal story on how they reach the world of afterlife.
Yuri is staging a rebellion against God for giving her such an unreasonable and short life. In actuality, she doesn’t even know if a God exists and is merely taking her fight against the tenshi who serves as the student council president of their afterlife school as well. Yuri later explains how this world is full of model, law-abiding drones, which she describes as the equivalent of a video game’s Non-Player Characters (NPCs). Acting in accordance to them like the angels want leads to deceased humans such as themselves eventually disappearing, which is why they resist and try to take over the world. Doing so ensures they would continue to exist at the very least, even though they’re no longer alive.
Otonashi decides to go along with Yuri and her gang, but only in hopes of recovering his memories of when he was alive. Amnesia is apparently common in those who first arrive in this world.
Finally, I should point out that the girl band, “Girls Dead Monster”, features Iwasawa (Sawashiro Miyuki) as the lead vocalist, but the songs are actually performed by “marina”. Also, there is indeed an English-speaking voice actor named Michael Rivas playing the character “TK” here.
