I started watching Charlotte expecting Anime like Death Note or Code Geass. And for the first half of an episode it seemed it was similar. But then it was made clear that it was a comedy series. But I still thought it might be an interesting Anime. Now I watched 3 Episodes and I am wondering. Is it worth watching it?

Half an episode is hardly enough to judge any series, even less so one such as Charlotte.


Let me explain (may contain minor spoilers, read at your own discretion):

The comedy will stop soon, keep watching it. The last episode should be next week, but I think it might be an OVA.

If you watch it with expectations to be similar to Code Geass and Death Note then I'm pretty sure you'd be disappointed. I wouldn't really call it a comedy anime. For the anime itself, I'd say watch it. It was actually really good to where I am right now (which is episode 6, waiting for it to finish airing).

It's like Steins;Gate and Madoka rather than DN and CG.

Keep watching. It is interesting, no doubt.

^this

Go into anime with ZERO expectations, that's what I do. I enjoyed Charlotte though, but I wouldn't compare it to anything tbh.

Yes. It definitely got better after 6th episode.

I liked reading Death Note and loved watching Code Geass. While this anime starts out as a comedy, I honestly liked its first few episodic moments since this anime presented supernatural elements. I'm a sucker for fantasy and action series so hey. I knew from the hype that this anime was going to be a feels type, and later on I got it.

Though like the others have pointed out, the MC lead is not as cunning as Lelouch and Kira/L ever were. That's the "disappointment" there so to speak.

It's not as bad as people make it out to be.

Wait until at least episode 7. That's the best one.

If you can resist the 1st half of the anime being episodic, with force drama and comedy as a bonus then you're good to go.

Honestly keep watching. The comedy is just for the first half really then it turns really serious. Honestly one of my personal favourites of the season.

It's meh. Has maybe 1-2 good episodes in the entire run. It's part-way comedy if you ask me. Should you keep watching it? Personally, no. Anime is average at best. But watch if you're interested and have time.
