Angel Beats

I just finished watching Angel Beats, a 13 episode anime.  This one was a a complete story that didnt leave a possibility of a second season (i.e. story completed and loops all closed).  I found this one entertaining, but at the same time I wouldn't add it to my "must watch" list. 

At first I was really unsure where they were going with it, but it developed into a nice plot.  There was a good balance between humor and emotion, though the story is really aimed at a younger crowd (whatever, I still enjoyed it, lol).  I think one of the best parts of this one was I couldnt predict where it was going, even at the end.  I feel plots have been so reused lately, so this one was a little more original.

Overall I would say:
Plot:  6.5/10 - fairly original, but at the same time I wasn't left rethinking the foundations of life
Characters:   7/10 - given that it was a short run, they did a good job packing in a lot of background
Humor: 6/10 - random-events type humor
Emo-ness: 6/10 -
Fun: - 6.5/10
Animation: 6/10 - on par with most animes today
Audience Age: 15+
