I'd like to imagine that's what Jun Maeda's inner thoughts are after the boardcast; It's so painful! I've had enough of this! Why does it have to be me? It's so difficult. I'm tired. I don't wanna do this anymore. And you know what, if Jun Maeda is an anime character, he might as well be a whiny, mopey, unimaginative, callow, very unsophisticated, narrow-minded, inconsiderate, attention-seeking, talentless, deceptive, manipulative, insensitive and vengeful teenage boy who wields awesome power on a self-proclaimed journey to save the world but ended up causing more miseries than before. Maybe the real Jun Maeda is not anything like that, and I'm now just steaming out the resentment I have from watching this monstrosity, but you are the architect of your creation, no matter how or what it fails it does tell something about yourself in one way or another. Will get better after Angel Beats! ? No, in this case it's not " let's forgive but do not forget", you've proven there's also no forgive. Really not sure where you're getting this from. The main issue I'm seeing with Charlotte is that it should never have been a 13 episode anime, and I have no idea how much say Maeda actually got in that. But yea, each to their own opinion. When will people learn that they can't fit 24+ episodes of plot and characterization into 12-13 episode series? |
| What a great finale. I had chills down my spine throughout the whole episode. So glad he made it back safely but he did lose his memories witch kind of sucks... Great anime! Hopefully we get more like it |

| I'd say it was a pretty nice finale, as for the series, first couple of episodes were kinda repetitive, but later on it got better, loved the main chars group except for Nao, but it is what it is. |

It was a predictable ending for a predictable show, somewhat enjoyable but still meh. |
| Happy ending.... never spected this, Maeda failed again 6.5/10 for me |
| This was supposed to make up for Angel Beats? In all honesty this anime would have got an 9/10 quite possibly a 10/10 in my opinion just because I liked the story line. Then the last episode comes...80% of it is fantastic...THE ENDING IS COMPLETE SHIT! "Sorry who are you?" Dammit that so damn cliched now. Maybe have something like "Don't forget me" on the Last Flash Card and have Tomari's name which jogs Yu's memory and Bam he remembers her...everyones crying everyone's happy BUT NO We get typical "Who are you?" ending. 7/10 in my opinion thanks to this SHIT ending. |

| Wtf was that ending lol >.> 6/10 overall |
| I really enjoyed Charlotte overall but it felt like a weak story overall. Maybe it would've been a lot better if it was 24 episodes. I sensed potential in the start of the series but it didn't live up to it. Maeda's weakest work so far from the one's I've experienced. Glad Nao and Yuu will be together but he had to lose his memories....now Nao is the one that will have to wait for his feelings towards her. Jun Maeda you really need to learn from Eiji Mikage. Why make such a rushed series... really disappointed with Maeda. Don't see him coming up with anything close to Refrain ever again. |

| Every episode in the second half was so different than the last, such a mess |
| I really liked the finale but it was admittedly too convenient and anticlimactic. By presenting some clips of Yuu and how he acted in various countries was kind of exciting, but definitely rushed. This is because the entire plot of taking everyone's abilities could have definitely spanned a couple of episodes more, especially since there was a lack of focus on the immediate dangers, close calls, or enemies/rivals Yuu meets but rather his progression to a monster as he almost stops caring. The only time he was in danger with the arrows, it felt like the cop out considering the fact that his brother at that same moment was able to find and save him. I liked seeing Yuu use the powers that he plundered but the anime definitely did not show the full scale of his power. I would have loved to see him become a god like he said, but I don't blame the writers for that because Charlotte did not have that focus nor is is an action shounen. Even so, Yuu keeping the note cards made by Nao was a really unrealistic and cliched way to prevent him from straying to that path. Despite the flaws, it was a good finale that was exciting to watch. It even left on a heartwarming note where Nao wants to make more memories with Yuu and the others to make up for the memories he lost. The moral the anime is trying to portray is there: even without an ability or supernatural power, you can still enjoy life. It's going back to it's original point: humans do not need to use unnatural powers despite how useful they might be for it will only bring more conflict in the long run. In that sense, Charlotte did a fantastic job with the ending. Even with all the power in the world, Yuu was not happy. He only felt genuine joy and love when he was with the people he cared about. My final thoughts of the anime: great main character (even if he feels shallow at times), some good use of plot device to connect with viewers, plot holes and at times stale writing, some sadly unexplored characters, stunning animation, beautiful music and opening sequence, and overall, a good presentation of anime with its uplifting message. |

| Wow that was awful. It was really cool how OP he got with his abilities, but still. Awful ending. Mediocre anime. 6/10 |
 |
| lmao that engrish had me dying xD As for the show. Yeah dissapointing. Seriously Maeda you said this would be better than Angel Beats, especially because you said you would focus on the characters more. So you did that by spending the first 6 episodes on them however only 2/4-5 of them actually got used in the later part in the story and then guess what, you bring in a whole squad of new characters that barely got any developement (minus Yu's bro a little). The story got too random and I couldn't tell what direction Maeda was going for, was it a comedy? slice of life? romance? a tear jerker? super power action anime? LIKE WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHOW?!?!? ugh. despite all this, I'll give the show a 7/10. Despite how fustrated I am with it, I can't deny that it was enjoyable. It did have some interesting ideas and the characters were pretty good (at least Yu and Nao). It did also end off pretty nicely so thats a plus. |

| My vote from 8 down to 7/10 |

| Honestly this was an underwhelming ending and an underwhelming anime overall. Also, dat Engrish. *cringe* The second half of this anime was so rushed. From Yuu recovering from Ayumi's death in one episode, to the last 3 or 4 episodes being a clusterfuck of rushed events, it just felt like it was nowhere near as good as it could have been. Also, Yuu and Nao becoming lovers out of seemingly nowhere....there was barely any buildup for their relationship. Like others were saying, you can't fit 2 cours worth of material into 1 cour. Also, how did Yuu's brother and everyone else just know where he was when they went to rescue him? And remember when he asked Sala about her blindness and she said "she atoned for her sins"? Did they ever explain that? And why was Nao being picked on and bullied in that one episode? Does anyone know if they answered any of these questions, did I miss something? And the comedy as we all know was hit-or-miss pretty much. Especially that "such a turnoff" joke. That got old really fast. And how the episode right after Yuu recovered from Ayumi's death had a bunch of comedy stuff like nothing bad ever happened. Anyway, 5/10, this series could have been much better. People were so hyped literally only because of the fact that Maeda's name was attached to this, but it didn't live up to its potential. |

| This ending lol. This show started out okay and just got worse and worse. There so many things that just didn't make any logical since lol. 3/10 for me. |
 |
| So that's the final episode of Charlotte. Sigh... It was fun watching Yuu becoming so OP but jeez... That's how the story ends? So Yuu really did forget about Nao. That's pretty sad but I would have been a lot more upset if Yuu and Nao's relationship felt like an actual relationship instead of being there just for the sake of being there. Episode 12 made it clear that Nao didn't have any feelings for Yuu and the two of them weren't in contact while he was travelling around the world so just how/when/why did she fall in love with him? BTW, not only do we have no idea as to what that whole Nao-and-Yuu-falling-from-the-sky scene in the OP refers to, we also don't know who the hell this person is.  Also, what about Sala? I don't get it. It's as though Charlotte isn't complete but it doesn't seem like it's going to get any more episodes either. I'm confused... Nice song at the end though. |

| Great concept but falwed and rushed execution. Jun should stick to VNs. Anyway i give it a 7/10 after rounding it off. |
| I've been open minded with Charlotte since it's Key I knew it may be good or not. But this ending I had a tear when Nao started to cry. The whole anime I would say it was good better than Angel Beats where I was like how did he get feelings. With Charlotte it hinted over the episodes. I'll give it a 8.6/10 not too amazing but good. |
LightBladeNova said: It makes me sad to know that still hardly anyone knows what a visual novel is, even in the anime community. |
| How to travel across the world? watch this episode :) It was good, but I expected something better.. |
| so many plot holes.. like how's Nao's brother is still okay even though Yuu leaped time to the past before he meet ZHIEND vocalist? still good run tho.. |
| For those don't know Yuu not remember Nao is similar to Tomoyo Wonderful Life VN where Tomoya doesn't remember Tomoyo and he keeps repeating forgetting it's similar to this. |
LightBladeNova said: It makes me sad to know that still hardly anyone knows what a visual novel is, even in the anime community. |
| I give the episode a 7/10 Series a 7.5/10 Pros: + Satisfying conclusion for character development + No cliffhanger endings like most series + No mystery ending with no conclusion at all + No BS, "Make up your own ending," endings Cons: - Rushed episodes (9-13) - Makes you crave more. - Could of easily be made the series 22 episode series, but atlas Jun Maeda is restricted. |
 |
| 8/10 because i really enjoyed watching it. The ppl not being happy with the ending..what did you actually expect? in the end it went almost exactly like they planned it. did you expect some dramatic ending or what? Ppl complaining about plot holes in a show where timetravel is an actual thing. /smh |
| Well.... it ended but .... as a kindhearted fan, I gave the whole darned thing a 7/10. Ok.... that was so bad .... so frustrating. Well it was predictable and what's worse is that "Fin" at the end as there is no prologue. Holes are everywhere. |
 |
| Disappointed, to think he'd take his reasoning not to heal himself THAT far. One thing not heal your eye to go back in time, but let your body become handicap in a wheel chair and all that? Then there's just a shitload of things unexplained, has he forgotten EVERYONE, or what? And this dude is always breaking down and having huge mood swings. |

I'm looking at it from a writer's prospective, trying to understand and evaluate how Jun Maeda fares as a writer, or a content creator in general. Of course that doesn't necessary tell us how what kind of person Jun Meada is, and it never will, but what kind of writer he is. And just by the different prospective you and I are going to pick up lots of different details regarding different matters of concern, like how the anime fails in communication between the writer and director from the first episode, how shameless they are to insert AB reference in a wrong time and inappropriate mood, and that two-and-a-half-minute-long product placement in episode 8 and more. It should have been given more time just tell us Jun Maeda repeated the same mistake he made in AB!, and just giving my opinion that change if possibly made, it's not going to change or improve the anime a lot, it just prolongs the suffering. |
| I'm beyond disappointed in this show. How could it be that the person who wrote Clannad wrote this. It was my mistake to have held high hopes for it. |
 |
| Hey guys , please take a look at my Charlotte's review, that's is what I think about the series |
| People saying it was worse than Angel Beats... How, it made the exact same mistakes Angel Beats did, except Charlotte explained more things ( Which is a plus ). Both had 1-2 useless episodes and a rushed ending, yeah Charlotte had more potential, but that's not a reason to consider it worse than Angel Beats. For the score, i'll give it 6.5 so 6/10 here on MAL, same as i did for Angel Beats. The ending was also better than Angel Beats' ( It wasn't that great though ). I prefered Nao to pretty much any AB characters, but both anime didn't have really good characters, both were about 6/10 characters wise, which is good but nothing more. If i had to compare both in overall, i'd say Charlotte is slightly better than Angel Beats. |

| So that was the final episode.... I can't really say it was better than Angel Beats!, and certainly it was pretty rushed too at some parts. It definitely had its flaws, but despite all of that, I still really enjoyed this show. Too bad the chances of another cour or season are slim to zero, since that would definitely develop this show further.... One cour surely wasn't enough. But alas, still loved Charlotte. It definitely also had one amazing soundtrack. 9/10. |
