I have a theory. Regarding how Kanade arrives in the Afterlife before Otonashi, but had died after him, it could be that since he had so many issues with his past life (sister dying, one of his parents dying, etc.) that he had to spend time in some kind of time-space continuum, Limbo for example, to 'go-over' his life and try to start anew.

I know, it's a whack theory, but I randomly had a thought, so.........

And how Otonashi could be The Programmer, I am not sure where that came from. Yeah, it might be possible, might be true, but there is so little information to work with. Kudos to Roadside Picnic for coming up with that theory, it's a good one.
