Plot Summary:
Angel Beats! takes place in the afterlife, and follows the main protagonist Otonashi, a boy who lost his memories of his life after dying. He is enrolled into the afterlife school, which exists as a middle ground between heaven and earth, where students learn to give up any lingering attachments they still have from life before finally going to heaven. While the injuries or cause of death is gone, those in the afterlife school still can feel pain or other things as they did when they were alive. Otonashi meets a girl named Yuri who invites him to join the SSS—Shinda Sekai Sensen (死んだ世界戦, lit. Afterlife War Front)—an organization she leads which fights against God. The student council at the school, led by the student council president and angel Tenshi, is in charge of keeping the status quo and serve to fight against the SSS.

Thoughts?
Luna: What I'm most excited about is the seiyuu cast announced so far. I was recently informed that Hiroshi Kamiya is arguably the biggest male seiyuu at the moment earning him the name "Asia #1" (thanks to 'Seiyuu Nut' *wink*). I'm also a huge fan of Kana Hanazawa. Coincidentally, they are both in Durarara!! XD I also love the fluidity of Key adaptation so I really want to check this out. ^^
Bones: Will post later.
What do you guys think? *Waits for Key fanatics* XD
