Charlotte: Tsuyoimono-tachi

Just to be clear this is not a sequel to Charlotte. It's set half-way through Charlotte before all the important stuff actually happens.

Story : Just another episode of finding and helping a person with strange abilities, in this case it's mind -reading (not a spoiler)

Art - same as always, quite nice and pleasing

Sound - didn't notice anything but the voice acting was great

Enjoyment - It was nice to see all the characters again and Yu x Nao moments. It was also damn funny a lot of the time and emotional too.

Overall: I recommend to watch if you just miss Charlotte in general and ... want to see more, but don't expect anything that has happened past the last few episodes.

“Feed the kids,” they said, a while after Charlotte finished airing, the fans kept asking for more due to whatever reasons they gave, I guess a show will always have devoted fans no matter how bad or average it was (not making a point on Charlott here). Charlotte: Tsuyoimono-tachi, aired the 30th Mars 2016 is a special one-shot episode that exists just for that, to feed the hungry fans. But does it taste good?

- Story (6.0/10):
The special episode follows the student council as they are trying to solve a problem with a mind reader that can't seem to turn off her ability, and thus making ... everybody around her fight. Nao and Yuu set up to helping her of course while keeping a close distance from her, they start to read each other's minds as a means to get to know one another the best, but it doesn't go as smooth as one might expect.

- Art (8.0/10):
Just like the parent series, I can't seem to remember a flaw I encounter, a dragged on anatomy or right animation, it was a good Charlotte/10. The character design for the mind reader was great though, so detailed that she could have a show of her own as a protagonist.

- Sound (7.0/10):
I've never been a huge fan of the main cast, to begin with, especial as soon as I discovered that Nao has the same voice actress of Gasper (High School DxD), and you know, I'm not big on traps either.
It was cool for me to get to see the opening theme song again, but I guess that was it.

- Character (6.5/10):
As I've always said, this show lacks consistency when it comes to the characters as 95% of them are not memorable at all, and I've seen short series do better, for instance, FLCL, leaving no excuse for Charlotte to slack off. Nothing too special seemed to happen here aside from the protagonist being more of a punching bag than he was during the main show.

- Enjoyment (6/10):
Not my proudest special watch, to be honest, it was almost like being forced to stare at drying paint while not having slept for days, it was hard to keep up as nothing interesting in particular was hitting the spot, I could go for hours starring at the Whole Cake chateau collapsing (One Piece) and not get this bored, it was just another standalone episode that couldn't even stand on its own.

- Overall (6.7/10):
If you have something better to do, just skip over on this, absolutely nothing happens in favor of progressing the plot as this is not a sequel, and it's set somewhere between the third and sixth episode, right after Yusarin joined, but before *SPOILER AHEAD*; Ayumi passed away.

As someone that was never a fan of Charlotte i went into this ova with very little expectations.A special though would be a good chance to to resolve some of the thousand of unexplained things that the series second half had and give some better closure to the story.

Story:But this is not the direction this episode went.this episode follow the work of the student council in their quest to find ability users. Basically pretty much the same pattern of the first half of the series and as such ... it adds nothing to the overall story.Although not enterely a bad premise the problem lies with the execution.this episode cointains the same issues as the main seriesthe change of focus between comedy and drama is extremely jarring and Charlotte continues to use plot devices to victimaze characters we know nothing about or care just for the usual forced fells

Characters:nothing remarkable to see here these characters are mostly used as comic relief barely have a personality and the screentime they have is minimun(yusarin takajou ayumi).Our protagonista otasaka yuu serves mostly as a passive observer for the events and nao is the most noticeble among them for her playfull atitude.None of them have any development or are explored in any way

Sound:best aspect f the show.Both opening and enging really fits the show well.The opening gets a cherrfull feeling that combines greatly with the comedic first half and the more sober ending also fits with the second half that is more focused on the drama

Animation:the animation for this series is average despite the attention to detail in the backgrounds and the great usage of color due to the generic character designs and sloopy moviments
Enjoyment:for me there is barely any enjoyemnt in this episode.The attempts at drama and comedy were so poorly handled and spaced out that it was impossible to care for the drama and the comedy consisted exclusively the usage of the same jokes that made it impossible to care

Overrall
This special fails both at adding something to the main storylinine,characters and in being a self contained story.It still is recommendable for fans of the series that are looking for more and it mainstais the structure the first episodes of the main series had
