Also, it seems that the ending would pretty much require that everyone (or at least Otonashi/Kandade/Yuri, since they're the main characters) get over their problems and be erased. This would probably end up as a Bittersweet Ending.
Either that or everyone just continues doing what they're doing and nothing really happens, which would be fairly lame.
Look at Durarara. Expected to be at least 25 episodes, and with the sales, a second season isn't impossible.

She is being slowly approached from behind in my 'favourite character' race with Naoi, though. Naoi is a thing. Also, he has a Nice Hat.

~PirkaEveryone loves Kanade... and Jun Maeda loves his Ill Girls; hell, Hatsune Otonashi is voiced by Mai Nakahara, who also voiced Nagisa Furukawa.
My FF.net accountShe also looks a lot like a young Nagisa, too, i noticed.
And how could you not love Kanade, anyway? She's cute as a box of kittens, interesting, badass in a knife fight, and and puny.

And she's competing for the title of Angel Beats biggest Woobie.

(Speaking of which, I feel like we're due for another disappearance sometime soon.)

TK's backstory isn't tragic and he has no unresolved issues as such. Instead he died doing something utterly insane (but completely awesome) and is hanging around because he's decided that he's not done with life yet.
Odd, I didn't think GET CHANCE AND LUCK would ever make another appearance.
Here's to you, TK. I tip my electronic hat to thee.

I'd go more towards bittersweet, if only because the cast is just too lovable and a Downer Ending would be incredibly depressing.
