Angel Beats 2 had the killing-off-characters-one-by-one style since everyone is like dying in one way or the other ._. some in quite gruesome ways... but not shown in details since the series isnt really focused on violence.

Yuri conducts another meeting and decides to bring everyone present to the Guild, which is a place underground that supplies Yuri and her team with weapons to fight against the Angel. The Guild is located at such a place to prevent the Angel from easily discovering the location and the way to the Guild had traps too to slow the Angel down. So the team sets off for the Guild and finds Noda waiting for them at the entrance but he sparks the 1st trap to the Guild and Yuri realises that the traps are activated again, even though the Guild knows that they are heading towards them, as the Angel is advancing to the Guild. Yuri decides to continue forward and try to slow down the Angel and thus helping the Guild. The next trap they encounters claimed Takamatsu as the victim of a rolling steel ball and Yuri continues to proceed with the remaining people since they cannot die here in this world and can only feel the pain of death. The next trap was a laser trap where it sliced Matsushita into pieces and the others managed to escaped. Then a collapsing ceiling squashes TK who helps the rest to escape, and the team encounters a pitfall trap next. Otonashi and Hinata fell the lowest and the whole team formed a "chain" and Otonashi had to climb up slowly, and getting embarassed when he tries to climb through Yuri. Otonashi managed to climb up safely but with Hinata's wrong sense of grip, Yuri punches / kicks him down into the hole. The team is now left with Shiina, Yuri, Otonashi and Fujimaki (nt really sure abt this guy ._. too many names...) which Fujimaki warns Otonashi that he's gonna be next victim. Then the irony comes when Fujimaki was the next victim due to his lack of ability to swim and fell prey to the water trap. Shiina then leads Otonashi and Yuri to the next entrance and she falls prey to the next trap where it was a toy cat being washed away... since she have a weakness for cute things. So now its down to Yuri and Otonashi and Yuri sheds some light on the time she was living and how she had caused her siblings death as she was unable to find anything valuable for the burglars but refuses to tell Otonashi how she had died. The duo then reaches the Guild but the Guild's Leader (i suppose) Chaa, decides to abandon the Guild and blow it up since the Angel is already breaking through the traps and moves the rest of the members to Old Guild. Yuri and Otonashi goes up again to slow the Angel down which Yuri rushes forward and fights the Angel in close combat when her Distortion ability is activated. However, the Angel soon activates Delay and moves way faster then Yuri. Otonashi rushes to Yuri's rescue when he sees her in danger and the "cannon" that the Guild had made arrived just in time. The cannon didnt really performed as well but did buy enough time to blow up the Guild and the Angel was thrown into the explosion, although she wont die from that. At the old guild, Yuri then calls up everyone again, who shld have woken up after they had "died" and Otonashi sees that she really is a great leader.

its kinda sadistic where you get to see the characters being killed off one by one but its part of the setting. the expressionless Angel now has another Guard skill and Otonashi even dived in to protect Yuri... relationship alert! O.o lols, by far, i tink the laser part was the most gruesome =X and the Guild, which was introduced in this episode got wiped out in the same episode as well ._. maybe something more significant is in the Old Guild? ... now im seeing 13 episodes as kinda short =X

and with the new episode comes the OP by Lia, quite a nice song too :D and u get to see a LITTLE more "expression" from the Tenshi...
