This.

On topic: Being a Key fan, I can't wait to see more of this.

Actually, I am also worried about the pacing of the series, but in a slightly different way. The first ep had to cram a lot in to expose what the series is about, so they needed to have the fight scene and the concert scene and the slapstick hit-counter and all that, but I'm worried that later episodes might be boring in comparison if they are too simple or focus too much on one element.
I mean, it wouldn't be good if the next episode was all talking and jokes like the middle third of this episode was. I'm sure it will reach a favorable equilibrium at some point, though, and then of course, being a Key show, they'll pull the rug out from under you in a completely predictable way, and you will fall nonetheless.

It's not that they didn't have a lot to cover in the first episode but it has more to do with the fact that they were trying to explain the premise of the series and trying to cram in enough action to keep you interested.

The whole operation Tornado thing could have been done a little better. Watching this episode was almost like listening to somebody who didn't use spaces or conjunctions in their speech and while i enjoyed listening to what they had to say it sounded very jolty and unnatural. Although the whole rock concert and getting their meal tickets was cool and everything i feel like it was something that shouldn't have been there and had they taken it out while finding some way to keep that second showdown with Angel at the end the plot would have had more than enough time to catch a breather while still giving you a good idea of what's going on. The story was just way too busy at the moment to throw operation Tornado into the mix.

The problem the plot now faces is exactly what you said in your earlier post. It can't keep the same jolt like pacing and it really can't slow down ether or risk losing touch with it's audience. Now the plot pacing has to realign itself somehow without the viewer knowing about it which is not an easy feat once you already have a set pace and mindset for where the story is going.

I apologize. Im new here, maybe I should have a read through the wiki again... :/

[Havoc10K]

yes you should.

So which sub group is doing the best job?

So which sub group is doing the best job?

Mazui will give you nice Speedsubs, and Static Subs will probably be the best slowsub (i.e., I would bet on their version being accepted to bakabt after the show is over).

[Natheria]

So sad Chihiro dropped this.  :'( I downloaded mazui's version and it looked pretty good, then again I'm not the best judge on quality.

[Spanks]

I don't know what to think after watching the first episode. There is a bit of humor but wasn't that great(may be because its late), the action, visuals and music were were of high quality. But I don't know where its going, will it the usual depressing Key with a good love story? I guess we will see.

I don't know whose fansub I downloaded, it just had the symbol  ℵ₀. The subs weren't the best anyway.

[newy]

After watching episode 01 I don't know what to think of it yet. One thing for sure is the comedy. But as seen in previous Key adaptations the mood can change quickly.

yeh Key is famous for that, it's what actually made them so good, they do great twists, if it follows their reputation it will be a very good show ;]

[Slysoft]

I thought episode 2 was pretty good.

[Havoc10K]

very informative episode, and were on ep 2 and page 5 lol, as usual XD

l knew her reasons to fight from description but not details, seems like l was right, shes the oldest (?) fighter, l do wonder how she died, and l wonder what will happen when he recovers memories..

I found it quite amusing that the shield Tenshi uses is literally digital. Note the zeros and ones flying off. This may or may not be a hint from Key about the nature of the world.

Well she is a Nagato clone isn't she? Makes sense... Digital Reality Distortion!

Is anyone else noticing though that they haven't really shown us any of the actual mechanics of this world outside of what Yuri and the gang specifically want to show us? Nothing that they've told Otonashi about this new world he's in has been shown to be true besides the whole "you can't die!" thing and the fact that god herself is not shown ether. Possible twist in this... at least i hope it's deliberate, because they don't do a very good job of giving this fantasy world any physical parameters. I demand logic!

[Stsin]

After seeing episode two, I've already decided that this will be my favorite of this season.

Haruhi and Nagato in the afterworld, with Key's comedy and the intense drama that is sure to come.

(click to show/hide)

They can only make what they remember in detail.  The big gun fails since they tried guessing at it.

Well, Haruhi obviously likes Kyon, and he's starting to feel the same.  Shown when she kicks the other guy off her, which made me LOL.  The big part of the story will be Kyon getting his memories back.  I'm sure there will be a major twist to it.  Maybe they knew each other from the previous life?  Maybe even having their deaths related, though Haruhi has been there for awhile?  Also curious on how Haruhi died.  She says no one is there from committing suicide.

As long as they don't do a Jacob's Ladder or Shutter Island twist, I'd be happy.

[SeventyX7]

I think I like the "You can't die" component.  It allows for characters to die in hilariously glorious ways over and over again.  The whole second episode was created to have fun with this, but I hope it continues in future eps (and I'm pretty sure it will).

[Havoc10K]

the rule "you can't die" doesn't mean they are completely immortal in a sense.

l liked the little story Yuri told us, she has all the reasons of the world to hate God. Thats Key for you there.

that bit made the series even more interesting.

l wonder why you guys keep reffering to Haruhi, since altough characters and stuff resemble Haruhi, it's Angel Beats, don't make the same mistakes you did with K-On! and SoRaWoNoTo.

[acalewin]

I'm just going to agree and say I loved the second episode. If they keep it up it will definitely become a "must watch ASAP" show.  The deaths and movie shout-outs were great. TK and Shiina are awesome.  Anyone recognize what film the waterfall scene was from (if it was)? I keep thinking I should know it, but I can't seem to place it.

Anyhow, it didn't even click for me that Yuri likes Otonashi until she stormed away when he commented that Shiina liking cute things makes her cute.  I just figured the guy that fell came up on the back side of her and took her "hold onto whatever" statement too literally. 

Also, regarding the groups that are subbing this. Has anyone with any language skills watched the UTW subs and can comment on their quality? They read pretty easy from the half of one episode that I watched, and I didn't think they did a bad job with Summer Wars even if they're a fairly new group.
