*Beware spoilers and tinfoil hatting* I prefer the other epilogue.. this didn't feel like the "fixed" version or anything, especially since one thing Otonashi wanted was to be thanked; Angel explained that people she talks to get "obliterated", so it makes sense that Angel released him.. both happy and sad endings have become just as cliche, for a series that was ridiculously funny, tongue in cheek and full of unrealistic twists, I feel the less "realistic" ending is just as likely and it wasn't a necessary thing to correct.
