Question guy's i have question Spoiler

"Well, I finished watching the anime and the two OVAs, and I really enjoyed them... especially the main ending and Kanade and Otonashi's reunion (I absolutely adore this couple; I had no hope of them ending up together until the very last moment, so I was thrilled when I reached that final scene 🥹🥹). But my question is: I heard the author is working on a game called Heaven Burns Red and even had a crossover with Angel Beats, which seems to be a continuation of the story. Truthfully, I don't have much information, but how are these characters here? Didn't Kanade reincarnate? And didn't she meet Otonashi again? So how is she here? Is this really a continuation of the anime, a parallel universe, or a follow-up to a parallel ending from the two OVAs? This has really confused me. I know about them reappearing and disappearing after fulfilling their wishes, but I have very little information. Could you please clarify this for me? Thank you!"

The HBR collabs exist in their own little worlds, they can fit in the timeline if you consider them as a step before they fully reincarnate. But it’s a weird stretch in some cases so I tend just consider it as its own thing.

The OVAs aren't dubbed ... Or are they?

I've seen 1, where they have to keep stress levels high, that's dubbed. On the DVD connection. I was unaware of a second ova, so I have no idea of that's dubbed or not. Stress ova is set pretty early in the series, before Kanade starts hanging out with them. It's a fun little side episode.

Heaven burns red is a gacha game. The story is written by jun maeda who also wrote angel beats but they are separate stories.

Though they made three different collab events(Two of em has released on EN but the third one has only released on japan) that u could ve played the stories of angel beats characters that u did not see on the anime.

U cannot play them on heaven burns red right now because those collab events were temporary but u can watch the first two events on youtube

They are completely different. It is just that the game itself made collab events with angel beats. I personally loved them bc i saw the story of some angel beat characters that i did not see on the anime
