What do you get when you combine one of the hottest shows of the season with one of the coolest themes and most distinct opening sequences? The best of both worlds in this exceptionally well-done MAD movie for Angel Beats inspired by Durarara‘s stylistic touches and featuring ROOKiEZ is PUNK’D’s “Complication”. With both of these awesome series coming to an end in the next couple of days, now seemed like the perfect time to post about this. If you haven’t seen this yet, you might be surprised how talented (i.e. hardcore) some Japanese fans are. As a bonus, this video even helps you get Angel Beats’ character names straight if you had any difficulty doing to. Of course, it’s even COOLER if you do a side by side comparison with the original and sync them up, for which I’ve provided the option to do so below. Now how badass is that?

Ah, I’ve been meaning to get around to watching Durarara. This is pretty cool.
Spectacular, its hard to believe both durarara and angel beats are coming to and end already but i look forward to the summer shows.
at the same date too
Actually, Durarara ends tomorrow and Angel Beats on Friday. The simulcast for Durarara is one day behind.
well the subs for durarara and angel beats are usually released in saturday or late friday night in my area…
last episodes of durarara will be released with the dvd’s
Oh man, I LOVE these MADs, they become increasingly better and more creative and high wow factor. But I think the best I’ve seen so far is the K-ON!! x Working!! one here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGQ3OE3GuqMBut yeah, fantastic effort nonetheless and there’s Angel Beats! x K-ON!! ones too which work well as well. So inspiring 😀
oh wow, the army of chibi yuis was almost as cute as the army of chibi popuras!
Yeah, that K-ON WORKING parody is really well done too. The marching Yui’s crack me up every time I see them.
Crap… You beat me to it… This really entertained me so much when I first saw it. I was saying “wow… that somehow works….”I miss stage6 back then they post HD MADs. I dunno if there’s anyway to download videos in niconico in HD.
Those are awesome. Mash-ups ftw
The only thing missing in the K-ON!xWORKING! is that with the chibi yui’s there is should be one thats off with the others :D(My friend pointed it out to me, but check out the working op and you’ll get what I mean)
Oh! Pretty awesome! TK is the coolest character ever created!!
Yeah! Especially the last few episodes. Where he said “Knocking on heavens door” in english before shooting. Awesome 😀
TK is awesome.
This is so cool. I got goosebums watching it. Lol
Wow! These are just hilarious.
Whoa!!! That was so awesome!!! I really envy those talented Japanese XD
Oh cool! You’re showing MADs now? Coincidentally, Angel Beats and Durarara are two of the five shows I’m watching right now (the other three being Bleach, Naruto, and FMA), and to see them being put together like this is just awesome.Although, I do have just one gripe: Noda and IZAYA?! That’s the worst parallels ever! In that they have none!
I just post about anything anime or Japanese related that’s on my mind. This is a blog after all. :)Oddly, Naoi was left out of the freeze frames. :\
Considering the preview in it, it was propably made right after when Naoi’s episode aired. So the creator didn’t know if he’ll be a good guy or not.
man i envy them japanese people xD with their insane amount of skill… in practically everything… they’ve got anime, MADs, their pretty decent at sports, they got the latest tech (or at least one of the most recent)…
great job great job this is very nice mad i love this video
I’ve been holding off Durarara.. maybe it’s time to watch ^^
Yeah this is a great one, the only thing that could be improved would be if they could take out the cello when Otonashi says his “Your life should be real” line.
that’s amazing i watched them both at the same time ( the audio synched) and i must say the people that did that… did a great job and i couldn’t help but applaud… 😀
Hmm, this was good, but I wouldn’t call this “exceptionally well-done”. xD;The ‘cut and paste’ look on some parts and low-quality zooming were major faults D:
Oh, but the part where the opening stops half way and the “dramatic summary”-part was very well done xDD
Wow. That’s all I can say.
Have to say, the awesome part of this is the well done inlet of the ‘previous episode’, meaning if it was ‘Durarara format’ this op would be the episode right after otonashi confronted the ‘evil’ Naoi.
All I’m gonna say is this… some people have waaaay too much time on their hands, and this is really well done.
AWESOME!!
To answer the
question that is so fucking bad ass.
The badass level is over 9000.
Damn, that’s well done. Not as awesome as the original but still. Having them run simultaneously is pretty awesome as well.
Oh gawd…that was 1min 50secs of pure orgasm. This just redefined ‘epic’ in my vocabulary.
Shina and Tenshi last no *cries. I don’t really follow fan made intros. However the few that are posted her are great. I wish I had that much time and resources to play around.
Japanese fans are the most hardcore group of people on the planet.
Wow, its so awesome especially to see it side by side.
That was beyond badass!
This blog just keeps getting better and better. Thanks for the post! 🙂
Wow, impressive indeedO_ODurarara and Angel Beats seem to fit very nicely =D
Would love to see more parodies of the 2nd ending. I really like how the road/highway starts off fully colored and then sorta… turns into (flat? not really sure how to describe it just yet) background with the main characters scrolling past.Speaking of characters, I was hoping we’d see more of Kuzuhara since he seemed like such a fun character to have around.
that was totally sick, thanks for showing this
I was wondering where that parody of Angel Beats X Durarara!! went off to, thanks Divine for the side to comparison. I still can’t get over how amazingly talented the person who made that parody is.
This is badass!!!!
I think some of you are too easily impressed
Totally awesome when seeing the videos in comparison. Nice parodies! Some of the names for the Angel Beats characters aren’t really that clear, but amazing none the less =) Wondering why parodies stemming from Durarara are so rampant now, but I like it! Kind of fun to see how hardcore anime fans can get at stuff like these haha.
Running those 2 videos at the same time was pretty damn sweet. Divine, your insight for that was on point. Though they coulda put Noda with Shizou and Naoi with Izaya.
Obviously, what a wonderful web page and informative posts, I will add backlink – bookmark this internet site? Regards, Reader.
LOVELY, LOVELY *-*’
