MAL score of 8.05 from 1.35 million users reflects wide affection; IMDb's 7.6 and the critical consensus around 'too short for its ambitions' are both accurate - the final three episodes are consistently described as among the most affecting in anime, even as the middle arc's tonal instability draws fair criticism.
Renewal: A complete 13-episode original series that concluded in June 2010. A visual novel adaptation exists but no further anime seasons were produced. (Wikipedia)

The premiere drops its premise with minimum preamble: dead teenagers in a purgatory school armed with weapons, fighting an enigmatic 'Angel' for reasons they're still working out. The comedy-action surface is immediately engaging; the grief underneath surfaces just enough to promise something more.
The finale is what the series was always heading toward - and it delivers with a sustained emotional honesty that the earlier episodes gestured toward but couldn't quite achieve. Fan communities cite this episode as a genuine cry-trigger; the closing scene is one of anime's most-screenshotted.
