Plot
Hollow Beats is based on Angel Beats, a Japanese anime television series produced by P.A.Works and Aniplex. The story of Hollow Beats revolves around Kanayama, a world which serves as a limbo for deceased students who still retain regret. The Kanayama Academy and its surrounding areas were turned into a battlefield after the foundation of the Afterlife Warfront by Nakamura Yuri. The group raged war against Tachibana Kanade, believing she was an angel created by god. Otonashi Yuzuru put an end to the conflict, and freed the souls of each student.

Yuzuru stayed behind to aide any soul who wanders within Kanayama. He felt his duty was nearing its conclusion, but feared a potential disaster that may arise once he disappeared. Discovering Takeyama had stayed behind as well, they had rewritten the infrastructure of Kanayama. The world was expanded and a nearby city, Kanayama City, was constructed.

Defects remained within the system, and Yoshiyuki Saito formed the Asashin, a ruthless gang of delinquents. Their objective was to control Kanayama with Saito as its god. Saito discovered the computer which holds the program, and destroys it. This, however, caused only one major change to the system. Immortality within Kanayama was terminated, and students who have been 'killed' will 'timeout,' turning into an NPC, a virtually soulless being.

Suterusu Marou discovered the remnants of the Afterlife Warfront, and reformed it. The objective of the Warfront was not to rebel against god, but instead, to defend the inhabitants of Kanayama from the Asashin. Resulting warfare caused the retreat of the Asashin into the city. Kanayama was then divided into two. The Afterlife Warfront occupied the Kanayama Academy and surrounding areas while the Asashin operated from the northwestern downtown area.
