Anime/Manga Charlotte

[Satoshi Ookami]

Yeah, I believe..Marina sings for her? I think it was the same with their Angel Beats character (Iwasawa), but I definitely prefer her singing in Japanese. xD; I love Sala as a character, though.

Yep, it was marina. As I said, I would have preferred Miyuki to sing it herself xD

 

[Raven Valt]

Ok, so now surely someone agrees with me that this anime is very rushed in most parts?

Spoiler:

A unusually positive episode after what we learned form the last episode. Then again, I'm sure we all know this is all a set up for things that will surely go wrong, especially anything to do with time travel. I predict that his sister will still end up becoming pizza sauce and despite the many times he travels it still goes wrong. When Yuu Is about to use his last time travel; attempt, the others are gonna stop him and perhaps find out that maybe his sister ain't dead at all but actually with the scientists.

 

[Altairis]

that was.... unusually... I don't want to say HAPPY but that's the best word I can find for it. I was honestly expecting something to go TERRIBLY wrong the entire episode and when it didn't happen, I was even more confused because there's 3 episodes left.... how could that be the climax? I think something worse is gonna happen the next episode.

 

[gimmepie]

I get the feeling that something terrible is about to happen in this anime. I really liked how they pulled everything together with that last episode though but I'm certain that after bringing the mood up with episodes left, they're now going to try and totally break us for the ending.

Well, if they really want to copy S;G it definitely should...
But I feel there will nothing else. No any more important events...

Spoiler:

Guess I was mistaken about Nao, clever girl she is xD Well, should have expected that considering Pooh.

 

[derozio]

Or maybe Maeda Jun's just trolling and wants us to keep thinking it is ending with a tragic ending and all we're gonna see are three SoL episodes back to back?

....lmao no way is that true. Something's definitely cooking.

 

[inspirASIAN]

(๏_๏ ) tha- that was brutal.

Well... episode eleven left me near speechless. It got dark again, and fast. I should trust my instincts more next time, because the episode preview should have been a huge hint about what's to come.

Spoiler:

Many parts felt forced, and Nao stripped down was unnecessary – talk about bad taste. It's going to suck if Yuu really can't do time-leaps anymore, but at the same time that in itself makes it kind of convenient. Now how do they plan to resolve this in two more episodes? It's a shame how this anime only gets thirteen episodes, because it can be so much more with the amount of characters they have to expand on.

Damn it, Pooh... your sacrifice for Nao will forever be engraved in our hearts. ╭ ㅇ︵ ㅇ╮

 

[donavannj]

Having powered through the last 6 episodes in the last 2 days, today's episode annoyed me more than it made me sad or angry.

Spoiler:

OH. SO YOUR'RE JUST GONNA KILL HIM RIGHT OFF, THEN. K, JUN. Killing off characters many viewers didn't even have time to get attached to simply is not good writing for a show that has some semblance of a plot across multiple episodes, dammit.

Spoiler:

Good job on the writers for developing Yuu up to this point to be a useless tool. What happened to his intellect / fighting capability from 3 episodes ago huh? When Yiu possessed one of the terrorists above, he could have thrown them off. (like the translator) and force them to do w/e. Another excellent idea on the brothers part wasn't sending any backup (in hiding) in case Yuu was in trouble. Overall this episode felt too forced for the sake of drama in order to fill the remaining episodes.

No idea what happened to sonic or idol girl this episode

I keep going back to it being rushed and this episode more than any clearly proves that, this anime went from being amazingly done to being mediocre because of how they're trying to force and rush the storyline, even the character development is being forced too hard, this is a prime example of when an anime should be longer in order to be better.

 

[cajsachen]

That was an intense episode.

 

[derozio]

It was an intensely forced episode. Things felt very, very forced. Sure, it got dark as we all expected it to but its transition didn't feel natural. Like, for instance:

The driver's family came outta nowhere. Same for the external person/his organization.
Nao being in her undergarments was just...there. It was absolutely unnecessary and jarring.
The whole sequence where our MC uses his powers was just...idk, him being inefficient? He used his powers so cleverly when he wasn't even aware of his real abilities - in episode 7, remember? - but now all of that's just gone. I can understand that he's got a lot on his shoulder this time around and pressure can make or break you but c'mon, man! :/
And that last scene. I'm not even attached to the dude. Didn't feel a thing.

Charlotte needed more screentime, man. Should've been a 22 episode series. Being one cour really hurt it during its run. :(

 

[inspirASIAN]

I have no idea how they plan to pull this seemingly grandiose plan — especially with a susceptible character like him — in only one episode. Time-skip?

Spoiler:

On the one hand, Yuu leveled up! He can now possess others without falling down like a dumbass, or are they making us out to be the dumbass? On the other hand, I liked the confession scene and the reactions, or lack thereof.

I'm slightly interested about Yusarin's power being taken, though. I wonder if they'll use it for someone to conveniently possess Yuu?

And finally, let's save the world in one episode!

 

[Zoinkity]

Uses possession to channel Poo to get psychic radar? Also, poor crazy brother will never hear a song in this timeline.

Honestly thought this show was great until time travel. Did they just fail to get a second season and try to lump all of one into three episodes? Even still, not sure time leaps were ever a good idea.

 

[gimmepie]

There was a lot I really liked in the last few episodes but the pacing bothers me still. This is a really good anime but I feel much the same as Derozio in as much as that it should definitely have at least been a 22-episode anime if not more. The anime has a great premise and wonderful story and characters but it just needed more time.

Kind of curious what this mysterious 13th episode is meant to include since that looked to pretty much be the ending.

Spoiler:

With only one episode to go I can guess there will be a time skip in the next episode. The world wide power fetch quest is quite a feat to accomplish speaking realistically- who knows whether Yuu will remember the promise he made with Tomori. Speaking of Tomori, this episode had the most plain confession I've seen from a anime although it's somewhat fitting from her character (she didn't know of the things that happened before Yiuu's timeleap)

This series without a doubt would have benefited greatly from having 24 episodes. It'd be more likely that more of the side characters would be fleshed out more (the cast quickly expanded after episode 9 iirc) and some of the things mentioned in the plot but never explored (what's the point in all the power of the week episodes? Why was tomori being bullied at school and what happened afterwards etc.

 

[Zoinkity]

I thought the powers themselves were drawn directly from difficulties, insecurities, or the deepest desires of the person. The power-of-the-week episodes were very much about understanding people--and wildly different types of people with different motivations.

(probably not necessary to spoiler this at this point, but...)

Spoiler:

In the best-case scenario Yuu doesn't just plunder powers but addresses their problem or desire, convincing them to let go of their power alongside the issue that drew it out. It's slower, but this method could very well be what Tomori was quietly teaching him via their little field trips.
-or he could dress like a pirate and let his inner god-complex go to town.

 

[inspirASIAN]

Spoiler:

Not sure which is worse: Yuu almost killed by some random guy with a crossbow or his brother conveniently appearing out of nowhere to save him just when he snagged the last ability — courage. He really could have made good use of that in the past episodes... and you know what, if he is still able to use all of his plundered abilities, he should fix his eye as well as his brother's unless really digs having only one eye.

Not complaining though, genuinely thought that was amusing. While Charlotte could have benefitted from a tragic ending, admittedly this isn't so bad to me either. It was enjoyable regardless.

 

[donavannj]

I feel that whole last episode could have been an entire season unto itself.

That moment was kind of a cop-out but par for the course with Key works.

And I think he just forgot he had the ability by the end of the episode. It seems like he had been gone for months.
