I'm so close to finishing Angel Beats. I find it more comedic than dramatic but I actually teared up from one of the scenes in episode __*. Only two episodes left and I'm not sure how it's going to end. I have some free time between my classes tomorrow so maybe I'll watch the last two episodes in the library or something.

* SPOILER

Episode 10, when Yui disappears.

That's how these type of shows get you - by starting off light-hearted while getting you emotionally invested in the characters, then throwing the gut punch.

It gets kinda formulaic, but I would still tear up each time.
