Angel Beats!

I have to say I felt sorry for Angel for the whole duration of this episode. She really seemed alone. It actually looks like she was always alone, pitted against the rebels and maybe - it wouldn't surprise me - even against the other council members, because the new president looks more evil than anybody in the series so far. Although I don't really know how this new dude could fare any better against the rebels.

I was completely expecting Otonashi to take the curry to Angel. He's certainly different from the others in the rebels by showing concern for Angel and the whole situation in general. In short, he hasn't accepted Yurippe's world view despite belonging to the rebel group.

Having "lost" his memories does help, I have to say. Everybody else pretty much has a tooth to pick with God from their previous life, and decided to take it out on Angel.

Expecting and hoping.
Something good better happen to her at least. It's too sad right now

Yeah, I was hoping too, so I felt really disappointed when he didn't follow it up and simply went "I asked a stupid question".

I have no idea what it would be, but I'm expecting some deeper relationship between Otonashi and Angel, since , Otonashi (音無) means "no sound", while Kanade (奏) means "to make music". To throw an idea out, if music is metaphoric for "memories", then maybe Angel will help him recover it? Or if not, Angel's role is to fill in something that Otonashi is missing?

On the other hand (God forbid that) they may be polar opposites and arch-enemies of some sort. After all, it seems the battle against Angel herself has never been successful until now... until Otonashi joined.
