A group of young people with incomplete youth could not accept their own life, so they were put into this afterlife world. Even if they got to this place, they were unwilling to disappear, so they ended their unwilling life, so start to resist.
The original intention of this world is to be a transitional existence, allowing these children to fulfill their own wishes, make up for their regrets, and no longer have sustenance in the school life of this world, so that they can move forward to the next life ( relief).
Therefore, this place is not the place of eternal life, but this group of people are not willing to live their lives and want to resist.
And the main function of soundless harmony is to lead them to gradually realize this.
The issue of death is always heavy, and when I watched the first few episodes, I thought they weren't going to die, they were going to accomplish some kind of grand deed in this world. However, Otonashi changed this impression when he retrieved his memory. He had no regrets when he died. He only came here because of amnesia, so he realized what the purpose of this world is.
So, Angel Beats! The concept of life and death in the book is: life does not lie in eternity, but in a life that has no flaws and is liberated.
The good thing about telling the story of a group of teenagers is that their wishes are small, living, with good feelings, not power or money, we can't imagine what adults who died of political enemies and business struggles will be here. How to realize those "grand" ideals (such as what to do if Mei Changsu was dumped here). We can't even imagine whether adults with "great" ideals will strive to become gods in this world. In AB, 12 episodes of Yuri had the opportunity to get this world, but she finally refused, because her original purpose was to protect Everyone, this point once again points out the life and death concept of this drama.
Finally, it can be mentioned that human beings are really full of a lot of suffering, and even a small wish has a lot of suffering to be realized.

These days, anime seems to need to be cute and funny, and this anime can't describe everyone's story.
