Whilst my most anticipated title from Madman Entertainment this month is Spice and Wolf, my most anticipated title from Siren Visual is without a doubt Angel Beats, which was produced with collaboration from KEY, most probably my favorite visual novel group. The above is a trailer for the series shared by Siren Visual and showcases a number of the going ons in this educational (hell) afterlife. As with the North American release distributed by Sentai Filmworks, this will be more or less the same release with both English and Japanese dubs and all 13 episodes and one bonus OVA.
Here is the synopsis as taken from the Siren Visual website:
Otonashi Yuzuru has one memory: he died.
He’s stuck in a high school of the afterlife, his own surreal purgatory with two choices: give up his connection to life and submit to his fate… or fight against God! If he chooses the latter option, the Shinda Sekai Sensen (SSS) is here to help – they’re here to see that your untimely death is avenged.
One problem though: Angel, the president of the school council.
Throw in an all-girl rock band called Girl’s Dead Monster, buckets of blacker than black comedy, more weapons than you can handle and you’re only half-way to heaven…but you’ve still gotta get through hell!
The DVD release will be available from the 16th of September whilst the Blu-ray release still remains a few months away yet.
