Counterpoint

Angel Beats is...  Not even worth ranting about.  The show only avoids being terrible by not having enough substance to be anything at all.  I don't think any of that supposed potential was actually there - rather just an illusion of potential.  It's pretty clear that no-one involved in the project had any concept of how to construct or tell a story, or how to draw faces or to animate, well, anything at all.

If they actually fed Haruhi and Shana into a Markov-chain Lua script controlling Maya and Vocaloid and streamed the results straight out onto TBS, then I give them a B for effort.  If there were, unlikely as it may seem, real live humans involved in production, then they should be prevented from ever reproducing.  You probably wouldn't need to put too much effort into that; just publicise the fact that they worked on Angel Beats.

I give it no nothings out of none.

Fortunately, there is K-On!!, which has a turtle.

Disclaimer: This review is based on watching only the first episode, since the show was cancelled immediately afterwards.  In my universe.
