@0blindspots0
Seemed like a perfectly closed ending to me, with that little bit after the ED. I mentioned the alternate epilogue because thats the only thing that would allow them to recast him.
Its not that i dont think they could make a second season work, im just not sure that these rumors are anything more than just that, rumors.

Aww, why did the last two new series of this season have to be so nice? Now I have to add yet another two series to my watching list. ;) Currently at 13 series.
Yeah, Fractale sometimes felt like watching a Ghibli movie to me too. I really love the art.
It was weird when they introduced the doppel parents without any explanation at first. :P
The story of Hourou Musuko was a bit hard to follow, but I think this could be a good thought-provoking anime.

@Jesse: I also searched a bit for proof, the only thing I could find that looked authentical was a scan from the Japanese magazine Megami. It basically has Hinata, Yuri and Kanade in a conversation, talking about mapo tofu. Hinata asks if anyone has any last words to say before the end, and Yuri says:
"Look out for the Angel Beats! Second Season where I’ll return as the heroine!"
That seems to be the main thing going around at the moment. I also found a Japanese blog in which I read (translated with Google):
"Angel Beats! Decision to broadcast the second season in spring 2011!"

Just finished Sora No Otsohimono Forte (sequal to Sora No Otoshimono). I absolutely loved it, recommend it to anyone who is into the comedy ecchi genre.
I watched the first episode of Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka and I lolled (a friggin lobster XD). I'm definitely gonna continue this one.

Another copy-pasta from my ANN forum post on Horou Musuko (Wandering Son).

Haven't found anything confusing yet, but I heard people complain about the way it started (compressing 40 manga chapters into 15 minutes.) Though I haven't read the manga, I actually like this start.
Episode 1:
I'm really loving this atm, I already sense a lot of drama going on and I can see the troubles the characters are facing. The music was great, giving off a calm mood to the viewers. And I really like how each character interacts so far, mainly the dialogue between the friends. I found the self introduction scene to be the most powerful part of the episode, revealing the tension between the characters. I'm going to say this probably has the best start out of all the Winter 2011 animes that aired so far.

And now for my ANN copy-paste :P
They sure have skipped far enough ahead, the first couple of volumes of the manga haven't so much been compressed as been completely missed out altogether, save for the odd mention about their events.
I don't think it was a very good move on the storytelling front. Not only are the first chapters some of the more interesting ones, but its in those early chapters that a lot of the characters personality and motivations are shaped.
Its not bad, and they can probably tell the story with what they have, but its certainly not the way i would have chosen to introduce the story.

@TechEngineer: Ah good, a japanese source makes it a lot more legit. All i had been able to find where scans from a Chinese magazine where Jun Maeda supposedly confirmed it.
As for Houro Musuko being hard to follow, i would say download the first 4 volumes of the manga and read them. The anime skipped alot of the early stuff, which is in my opinion necessary material to fully appreciate the story and the themes contained therein.

I recommend Beelzebub for sure. Its become very popular and gotten good reviews. I loved it, it was funny and unique. -demon chick and high school delinqeut raise the child of the demon lord together-
Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka was also good. Funny and it has a little girl with a chainsaw lol.
Gosick maybe if you like mystery a little. So far its left me a little unimpressed and the mystery isnt big at all yet since its only the first episode but you can give it a go.

Personally, I try and watch all the shows (or first few episodes) and see if I'm interested in them.
Well, it all depends on the genre you prefer, but my recommendations:
Comedy
* Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka?
* Beelzebub
Strong/Interesting Plots
* Fractale
* Horou Musuko
* GOSICK ( plot isn't that strong but I'd recommend if you enjoy mysteries)
Action
* Freezing (There's a lot of fanservice so far)
* Infinite Stratos (more of a comedy, but the action in Ep 2 was pretty decent)
* Mahou Shojo Madoka Magica
