Why does everyone wish so badly that this anime turns into a Tokyo Ghoul V2?It has been a long time since we had a great mystery anime as great as Charlotte and I'm really happy with it.




The resolution seemed WAY too sudden, and the sudden tone shift the next episode preview is showing is really not doing the death or "death" of the imouto any real justice. And it looks like we might go back to the stupid monster of the week format

I don't know how you can assume that.
So you basically say that the main plot of Charlotte is about a dominated guy who's forced to collaborate with a girl and her glasses friend so they could hunt super power users and convince them to never use their power again. So episode 6 and 7 were just filler in that case?

Are you literally going to be bitching about Nao every couple of hours or something? We get it, you don't like her. Find something new to comment about, it's getting old.

It seems he made new account just to shitpost. He obviously hates her because she ruined his perfect selfinsert, which was Yuu during first half of first episode.

Well, I have to write this somewhere.

I am not enjoying Charlotte as much as I liked and/or think it deserved to. It's like a soup of ideas that don't really mix all that well.
It's a carbon copy of Angel Beats. It has the same exact tropes and it doesn't come across as just inspiration or an homage. It feels uninspired, like they're checking off a list of established Key clichés. But that has been a problem for the last 5 episodes, so let's get to episode 7.

This episode didn't please me at all. Putting aside the abruptness of Ayumi's death and its unexplained consequences on everyone but Yuu (since that might be deliberate to hint at some kind of twist and all that jazz. the same can be argued about the bitch that went to Yuu's house and the men who followed her), it felt super rushed and all the scenes after Yuu leaving the train were cringe-inducing, that scene with the shooter game was really out of nowhere. Also, his reason for being depressed was just a way to pretend he wasn't actually that OOC on the previous episodes (aside from the 1st one).

As for the rest of the episode... It really relied on the shock factor. Violence, drugs, homelessness, etc.

The final "twist" was predictable, but nonetheless sweet and healing. Cheesy dialogue and a nice conclusion overall, albeit rushed.


This probably didn't come out as I expected it to and won't express my exact feelings on the episode, since I bolted through the keyboard, but I just wanted to quickly vent out and see if someone agrees with my points, because Charlotte has lots of promise and I think it has been missing the mark really hard and wasting a lot of good opportunities.

Also, I thought Yuu could only possess those within his field of view? But now he can possess those behind him as well?


Dude, you basically summarized my feelings on this ep. Thanks for saving me the work of writting such a text wall to express it to my friends who are also watching ;) .

I could have watched Yuu be a badass for another two episodes before things got all to aru kagaku no railgun with some sketchy scientists wanting to corner him and exploit his badass power for their own nefarious deeds.

Brought back from the brink by the family secret ingredient pizza sauce!

This was actually a very good episode. I liked the dark turn things took though I'm a little skeptical about Yuu's imōto actually being dead.

There's two scenes that's very suspicious: what the doctor told Yuu what happened to ayumi, he could be lying, the funeral scene. Why Yuu and the mysterious lady next to him are the only ones at the funeral, if ayumi really died there would be more people at her funeral not just Yuu plus the mysterious lady next to him. So, obviously something is being hidden that Yuu doesn't know yet

Or Ayumi's funeral took place before Yuu had woken up. So he just went there alone and happened to find some lady.

Also, wasn't there supposed to be an After Story/Refrain for this? If this is still true, then I believe it's too late to implement this within the current season, meaning we'll have a continuation of some sorts later on.

Will Charlotte have a full season? As far as I know, this series is supposed to have only 13 episodes. If Charlotte has 22-26 episodes then the pace at which the show is going is more or less okay. But if it really is a 13 episode series then the show will need to have great execution in the future episodes in order to be good.


Jun meant episodes 6-13 will be like little busters refrain. not that its getting a second season.

The one who's crouching looks like Yuu to me. And is it just me or does the standing guy look a lot like Nao's brother?

I'm a tad bit confused now. This picture and the OP hint that something huge is going to happen and that there's an awesome underlying plot. But the episode 8 preview makes it seem like not much is going to happen anytime soon. I don't know; maybe Sala's appearance will be of great significance. Or maybe we'll finally get to see those two unknown characters from episode 6 and they're just not showing it in the preview.

Did Nao lie about her invisibility only affecting one person? Cause otherwise this wouldn't make sense.

I thought the same. This looked so awfull as an explanation.
How did she hide from that ex girlffriend? The door to exit that room was closed, and we didn't hear a single sound of any closet or anything. The girl didn't look at all toward someone else either. She moves right in front of the tables and chair and sees nothing. Did she hide behind that wall of the kitchen? maybe. But how did she eat during those weeks Yuu wasn't moving from that room? Because she could not exit easily there. Did she eat cup ramen too? Then where are her remnant of cup ramen ?
How did she exit from the door when Yuu finally got out? He closed it right away. Granted, without using any key, but the guy was right here...
On the first fight no one is seeing anything even though that road is clear of any obstacle...Not a single person ever look at her...

Well, that's probably just bad story writing, nothing to see there. I mean this episode is awful from the start anyway. Losing a clsoe relative is a shock and very sad yes, but if peoples were starting to pick fights and torture others when this happen the world would have burnt to the ground since long ago.
And NAo, if you have been there all the time, how about stopping him ealier? Peoples got stabbed, tortured, thievery, and so on, and that was fine but drug is suddenly not? the hell.

Especially since that angsty teenager didn't need anything more than an omerice to be okay again. So that's what his sadness for her sister was worth for, an sugar heavy omerice... Just why exactly did we got an episode like that if that's just that level?
Now if on top of that after dedicating a whole episode about his completely shallow sadness this anime dares to bring back the sister in any living form even mad or paralysed, I'll laugh very hard at the poor level of writing this thing has.
I seriously hope this isn't the case.
That anime has never been very good but it still had interesting moment. That episode was awful though. x(


She could've set up the ex-gf to come to Yuu's house to somehow get him outside so she could investigate him or something else which seemed suspicious inside the house. But idk it just doesn't add up at all (for now)

If my theory is correct, then Sala will truly have a great importance. Plus, the image looks like past events for me, not future events. The future episodes' name do not show any sign of yuu and his brother getting caught. And yes, this is Yuu's brother, not Tomori's.

I only have 3 things to say about this episode:

1. Ayu's an angel now. She would probably have hated to see her dear brother acting this way.

2. This chapter has been really hard for me to watch... Honestly, I feel relieved if this series goes back to the regular style, as the preview shows.

3. Thanks Tomori for stopping Yuu before he turned into a COMPLETE asshole.

Wow . . . This episode was intense.

Props to P.A Works for directing an effective post-trauma scene that kept Yuu in-character without coming out too over-the-top. From beginning to end, this phase was portrayed rather well, and the payoff was strong, too.

I am sad that Ayumu died, but . . . I never did connect with her as a character. So, it was a quite a heart-warming moment to find out there was a solid reason behind her repetitive cooking. She's still a bland character in my opinion, but it does give her a little more depth.

So, solid episode, and I hope the next episode continues this positive trend.

Im slightly angry that ayumi died.
But all their series are epic just because they can brutaly murder best cast or make drama go onto a new scale.


Also, why does every single time, when a character goes into dark mode, why does every time a girl pull him back and help him get his sanity back....

I was glad they did. She didn't add anything to the series. She had no impact when he was at school, looking for others with powers, etc. She had what 5 minutes of screen time per episode other than episode 5 and 6 that had nothing to do with the series.

With her gone she finally had an impact on the series and now she won't make me wish I skipped watching this series.

Was a good episode Imo. I was afraid of this turning point or climax that was about to happen but well, we found out it was all turning back to normal at the *SPOILER*
ending. Back to comedy.

I was surprised how Nao could turn Yuu back to normal again just by having a normal conversation. Probably because Nao has experience and hopefully that Yuu hadn't turned into a total psycho yet haha.

Well I'm glad the atmosphere is back to how it was before ^-^ Can't wait til the next episode!

Well, that was a pleasantry.

But it does goes to show how Yuu's dark side can take over so much when he's so vulnerable. Perhaps it alludes to his past with the scientists(from the looks of the poster) or nothing at all, but it's interesting. I can also understand Yuu's anger towards Yumi coming by to convince him to come with her. I mean, does she honestly expect Yuu to listen to someone who left him so abruptly and in cold fashion? Sure, he has done some crap in the past to get near her, but she deserves the backlash for trying to act familiar to someone she verbally told she is cutting off ties with. She probably could give less of a damn about his sister and probably thinks he deserves it too given their brief relationship, but I digress. She did seem to be doing this out of someone's threat or bribe, most likely the scientists or government.

Anywhozers, I feel Nao's simply watching Yuu's self-destruction was her holding herself back from stopping him, as she understands how he needs an emotional outlet for it. I'm pretty sure she would stop him if he tried to actually kill someone right? ....Right? :(
But I'm glad things turned out decently when she stopped him from taking drugs. Hopefully the next episode will give us more insight on these scientists and the band(which I'm not sure why they're relevant somehow).

Pretty predictable episode; I figured that girl was following him. The super emo parts were a bit silly. I really wanted to feel sad, but I just don't really care for any of the characters yet.

I want to guess that his sister is not dead but instead is being experimented on for another plot twist later on.

If she is being experimented on, that'd be trash. How the hell can one survive after falling in such a deep hole and then get covered by tons of huge rocks? Plus, that would mean they aren't able to kill somenoe.

She MIGHT revive tho. And exchange places with someone ( And when I say that, I'm talking about one of my theories. If it reveals to be true, I know who's gonna die ) through time leaping.

That took long enough. So basically he went bat-shit over the loss of his sister (reasonable), and Nao watched all of it for the sake of him not doing drugs the last second? Come on, why did you take so long? Welp, the omu-rice won him over (saw this from a mile away), and it's all smooth sailing from here...sort of.

Best episode considering all the others weren't too great.
Why do people have such bad taste? Anime isn't subjective anymore.

When he was about to snort shit.. I lost it. I was once smoking shit up.. Doing lots of dumb shit to feel cool. To get rid of my depression too. So when I saw his face it reminded me of when I was about to go do shit that would lead to addiction and far worse. I lost it.
Anime and friends , and books helped me out of this spiral of horrible, stupid, dramatic shit I was in so long ago.... Made me cry. His face was too real/ raw.
That trama aside.
He kinda seemed like a straight up BOSS when he was kicking ass. The fucked up psycho is always in my fav 5 list! It was INTENSE . This episode was crazy...

Who else feel the sister might be alive?? Like th scientist took her or something and like faked her death?? Omg ! That would be some crazy drama . !! Loved the episode -the trama was sad though ... But he was still such a badass during his fights .

I was glad they did. She didn't add anything to the series. She had no impact when he was at school, looking for others with powers, etc. She had what 5 minutes of screen time per episode other than episode 5 and 6 that had nothing to do with the series.

With her gone she finally had an impact on the series and now she won't make me wish I skipped watching this series.


Just my speculation, but she will probably be brought back at some point. Because her character is still under-developed. Now, Mami Tomoe dies early as well, but her characterizations are pretty clear up to that point (and they brought her back at the end, as well).

This show follows Akame ga Kill's steps wonderfully with rhat tasteful comedy placement.

Well at least the tone was consistent later on in the episode but that didn't change much, what an awful episode. So almost torturing people is okay for Nao to watch but when Yuu decides to have a smoke - no fucking way, all lines crossed, gotta stop him. Overall, the way this episode showed Yuu's break down and mourning was so distasteful.

At least the show is interesting now, but the writting is a lot to be desired.
