Then you could see his realization that the world isn’t what it seems and that real people are rare. They could have had him wake up where he was before and had him try to find the principal’s office by asking random people and getting odd answers.

There’s this scene right after Blando boy gets skewered where he wakes up in a hospital and some dude smacks him around a bit. That could have been a really funny scene if they had decided to show it. Like Dumbo here just takes totally-not-Haruhi’s word for it that the NPCs aren’t really sentient. There are too many things that are just told to you that really should have been shown. I also hate how exposition dump heavy this first episode is. He’s super bland, but, you know, I can get behind his decision to go talk to the Angel first thing, and I like how he goes looking for an adult, but other than that his personality is just… so… blahhhhhh. The problem is that I instantly don’t care about him at all. Our main character has amnesia, which would normally peeve me off, but it kind of makes sense here.

Yes, yes, I know everyone loves Angel Beats, but really the first episode does not do anything to get me pumped to watch the rest of the show. The very first episode of Angel Beats sucks.
