Angel Beats! [TV]
Angel Beats! takes place in an afterlife high school, which acts as limbo for teenagers who have died and experienced traumas or hardships during their lifetime. Before being able to move on to reincarnation, those who find themselves in this afterlife high school must first come to terms with whatever trouble they have brought with them from the time they were still alive. Despite being already dead, the students retain the ability to feel physical sensations such as pain, hunger, and even experience death, only waking up later to have recovered from whatever injury.
The story follows Otanashi who suddenly wakes up in this afterlife school with no other memory except for his name. She meets Yuri who invites him to the SSS (Shinda Sekai Sensen, Afterlife Battlefront), an organization whose goal is to fight against God himself. The SSS also fights a mysterious girl named Angel, who appears to be the guardian of the afterlife high school, and possesses several supernatural abilities. Strangely enough, Otonashi feels drawn to the mysterious Angel, and slowly regains his memory and understand who she really is.
