Macross:
The only mecha anime i've really seen is evangelion. I don't really know anything about the genre. I decided go tie macross a try since it was recommended here, and i'm sorry to say, idk if this anime in particular is just my thing. watched the first 3 episodes and I really didn't get invested into it, so I decided to not erally continue it any further. Not a big fan of action, or militarry things, and not really invested into mecha, so yeah, sorry. Delayed this post since idk if I would continue it or not as it was not bad, it just didn't get into it

Angel Beats!
I've known of this anime for the longest time just on name alone, however, I thought it was a random idols anime or something, however, recently a friend of mine watched me and told that it was in fact not an anime about idols. And now that it got requested, I watched it
it was actually very nice, over the top school anime with a gimmick, it works great, however, the anime mainly starts to really become really good near the end
the idea of the anime is that they're on some sort of afterlife, which takes the form of a high school (it's an anime, of course the afterlife is a high school), the initial premise is that everyone in the world don't really have a soul except them that they have freedom of choice. And they're trying to defeat another high school girl since they tried to keep order in the afterlife, which our protagonist sees as an enemie
That arc on itself isn't the most exciting, each episode they have a different plan to defeat this girl and it's just fun. However, it seems that all of this arc, which last for more for half the anime, is jsut mainly world-building and developing characters. In the great twist of the anime it turns out that this character (named angel btw) isn't bad and is just trying to help people live their best lifes, since the goal of the afterlife (and the reason why it's a highschool), is that this world just helps people who percieved their real lifes to be bad to really feel free and accomplish things before moving on to the next life
I really enjoyed this concept a lot, it really makes sense that it had that slice of life-ish first arc to set everything up. It's not a new idea or anything, it's just executed really well. The slice of life setting and the really exagerated and over the top ideas and chapter plots really allow for each of the characters personality to show through, personality which was defined by their previous experiences in life, which in most cases include: their previous life.
The actual finale is just all the characters who hasn't moved on to the true afterlife yet to come to that realization of the world and it's just a very emotional scene, honestly the ending for angel beats is like peak high school anime IMO
honestly, just a fun and surprising emotional high school anime, really liekd it
