| What an intense ride... I was very surprised when they decided to wrap everything up in one single episode. It felt extremely rushed. |
 |
| We Sanzen said: Was expecting the finale would be so much better than this. I was so disappointed by how rushed the finale was as well as the plot hole in the end of the episode. The possibility of second cour vanished instantly after they rushed Yuu's progress taking people's abilities around the world. Towards the end of the episode, Yuu's was so vulnerable and a fucking single arrow almost killed him, that made me chuckled lol Well it was a 13+1 episodes long anime... If it is 24 or more, then the story wont feel rushed. |

-Stray said: jenanime said: Wait...did they ever explain Nao's bullies or did they just completely mind wipe that plot point? o_O I 2nd this, unless I forgot them pointing it out, I have no idea why she was ganged up like that. Finale overall was.... meh? it tried to give feels but failed miserably. The way they explained is that her power was the reason, seems like she has always been using her powers, something ruthlessly to do what is need to, and while she was at it, she could remain hidden from the "target" but not the people around her, so in their PoV she was a bitch. I m gonna give Charlotte a 8.5, I was going to give it lower, but this last episode felt incredible, people bitch cuz they pop unreasonable expectations on their minds, true there are probably some plot-holes, AND the show was weak earlier on, and disappointing at some later episodes (comet charlotte, foreign bad guys, fucktards, retarded plot IMO), but this conclusion was kinda STRONG for me, I felt alot, and in the end feel like at least they made use of alot of the potential such a setting could have. Maybe if it was 2 cour, and leaving the power gathering for S2 would had been for the better, but as it is, it was a great conclusion! (people should stop spamming jun maeda name like that, wtf, it gets annoying hearing all of those "MAEDAAAAAAAA!!! NO!!!", over and over again, along with AB is garbage, this is even worst, like lol) Great conclusion, 8.5 = 9 |

| I thought it was pretty good. I would of liked it if the whole 'One-Eyed Reaper' phase was spread across more episodes or if an OVA was made to cover more of it. |
 |
| Yuu did not save Nao's brother again when returned in time, so he is still insane? |
| wow...well this was a good synopsis for an action anime i could watch. The Stealing-power man! jokes aside (that english at the beggining tho)...jokes aside, this was a decent anime, it didn't have any great memorable characters like AB or Clannad, and the story was in particular a poor man's X-Men...Entertaining value was like a washed up version of AB and it was forced in some ways to try and be like it's predecessors. Sooo...i dunno really, i'm going to give this a 7/10. it was still fun never the less. Not a masterpiece, but i don't regret watching it. I'm hoping for more originality in the future from KEY though ;( oh and for the episode, 5/5 it was the best so far! |

| To be frankly honest, this was a wonderful show to me. I know I might be a part of the minority here and quite rightly so particularly due to the sketchy relationship between Tomori and Otosaka and the insanely yet commendable pace especially in the last episode, I still reckon it was a solid ending worthy of more praise. Sadly, however, it wasn't the case and people started criticizing Maeda. Of course I would love another episode or another cour of episodes or even maybe an OVA episode in order to provide a more 'smooth' kind of an ending but this is just fine as it is by all means. To sum it all up, the story was alright with nothing extraordinary to share nor was it anything mediocre or cliche for the most part; the animation and music along with the voice actings were top notch; characters weren't the highlight of the show due to lack of screen time unfortunately but fairly good nonetheless; and the enjoyment was definitely over par. As such, I would say that Charlotte is definitely an anime which deserves more than a mere 7.9 rating in MAL since it was much better than Angel Beats, which miraculously has a rating of 8.35. |

| Honestly, I was feeling pretty bitter when Shunsuke decided to come in at the last second as if he knew exactly where Yuu would be, when and where he would get the last ability. Which could be true I guess, if they were tracking him down however if so why didn't they come to his aid beforehand? He was tired of it all, it obviously took a toll on him. "What am I doing, who thought of this plan and why is it only me who has to do it?!" I think he said this while in the desert. AT LEAST HELP HIM, TALK TO HIM! Yikes! I felt as if this was too mean to Yuu when he woke up in the hospital, he had been alone all that time and Tomori was just like "Welcome back!" I started crying from how unfair I thought it was. This episode seemed super long, I surmised for sure that it had to be a lengthened episode. Charlotte is one of those series where I am under the impression that it would do fully well as a 24 episode series. There's undeniably, moments where the development is pretty fast and how it gets wrapped up a bit too nicely with a bow on top of a present. Understandably, there's no time to fit in some things such as exploring the side characters and their own woes sometimes in 13 episodes. Other things like the kidnapping of Kumagami, the mourning of both Yuu and Shunsuke, the fact that what went on beyond Yuu's experiences when he was off plundering the world of their abilities was omitted, how his friends/siblings were simply was all happy dandy with that camera despite knowing Yuu had to have done some shitty crimes to accomplish the goal and literally forgot everyone leaves much to be desired. This isn't even the end of it. What about vaccination? LOL. It only takes me one second of pondering before I am ultimately repelled from even imagining what else they have to do to clean the world of this impurity; the ☆ MAGICAL POWERS ☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆ disease! You know what? I'm not sure I'm on board with the dodgy "romance" between Tomori and Yuu. He loves her for helping him out of depression I guess? She loves him too for some reason? How convenient... They're more like best friends to me. I didn't know I would actually finish the series, what with my always wavering commitment to many anime I start and never complete. |

| holy ducking shit :( im not used to heavy anime like this (dont @ me) everyones saying the ending arc sucked but i think it was pretty awesome. i could only just imagine how much shit Yu went through. and then when i think about what he was like at the beginning of the series it makes me smile about his charactet development. thats how you write a fated hero! esp one that was such a crappy person LOL. honestly didnt expect it to take such a serious turn from the slice of life taste but it was already a little clever considering all the antics of the student council when they went to find people with abilities. i guess what the story couldve done better is make the 2nd arc more "comfortable" in the story as in add more foreshadowing (ik they have ayume be like 'didnt we have another member' but i forgot real fast), and ofc not too much. it definitely felt rushed too but they fit it pretty well with the time span in the episodes because it didnt feel choppy or weak. i knew the happy ending was going to happen but that hint of maybe its not going to after all was a really nice touch despite making me sad LOL. my other gripe is why the hell did they let him go on his own?? yea its dangerous esp for a group of ppl but he couldnt have at least 1 bud that could help him?? maybe at least someone that can keep tabs on him (ik hes got his brother in japan but all he did was call him occassionally) maybe theyd drag him down? also even though it was a passing thought i had too, the plan to steal every ability, esp one by one, is stupid!! thats a huge goal. maybe there was another way. but then i think maybe it wouldve made the series boring. anyway sorry its so long and its not eloquent but thats some of my input. i give the series a 9/10 just for the amazing story. |

| So much wasted potential. They should've shown more of his world travel. Or he should've healed his eye and spammed time leap for lolz with healing combo so he'd never go blind. This dude had potential of becoming really awesome and OP character, but no, we get generic ending. Disappointing show, dropped in quality since Yuu's sister's revival gradually. Most of last episode was still fun, but this anime is full of wasted potential. |
 |
This ending was very beautiful.  |
 |
| This series had quite a few plotholes and i think that if it was a 24 episode series then we would have gotten answers to many unsolved questions not to mention the supporting characters like Takajou(who had little to no backstory or character development) would have gotten a better treatment by the creators also do you guys feel like the romance between Yuu and Tomori was kinda forced?i mean apart from Yuu we haven't seen any sort of romantic interest shown by Tomori towards Yuu throughout the series(except for the last 2 episodes) it always feel like Tomori only considered him as a friend. |
| Seeing Yuu as general remind me of Lelouch from Code Geass |
| When they skip 2 year in 2 minutes, or make 2 minutes 2 episodes long |
| Yeah, i know it's an old anime nobody want to discuss anymore, still I'd write my thoughts here before forgetting it forever: 1. I think the premise about "looting" abiility is interesting enough to be explored in a more logical way than this anime. I just can't believe he'd forget to use his healing power on his deteriorating brain.. but then again it was mentioned that he's not as bright as his older brother, so it may be a convenient excuse eh. 2. Also, denying his eye recovery for sentimental reason "to honor kumagami's death" is soo STUPID. He could've just time leap and save everyone with his newly gained abilities and start plundering abilities again in the new timeline where everyone he loved lives.. 3. Sasuga Japan for creating a forced drama breaking all logic and excuses especially in the end. The One-eyed Shinigami who single handedly stopped bullets, RPG, even when he's half asleep.. defeated by crossbow. And getting rescued in the last second outta nowhere as a standard cliche end.. |

| This series turned out unexpectedly better than I anticipated. I'll have to increase my rating for this show. The first few episodes were almost boring and predictable, but that was setup for what was to come. Pretty slick overall concept. |
| It was alright. God level OP, say anythinga bout Maeda's other work, you can't deny his music. Interesting X-men like premisse. Like Angel Beats, Charlotte needed another cour to live up to it's full potential. Angel Beats does concerts and comedy better. 6/10, enjoyable at least. Hopefully we will get a Charlotte Visual Novel. |

| No wonder a lot of people are pissed with this anime, I understand them now. That part with Yuu being so "motivated" to stay alive because of Nao? I can barely handle it. I really don't see any chemistry between these two like what the fuck? Hahaha. Suddenly, she's in love with him? Lol. This anime went downhill so fast the moment Ayumi died, tbh. It's all over the place and it gave me plotholes I didn't ask for that I want to throw up and drop this, but I thought it'll redeemed itself, but it didn't. Thanks for wasting my time and pissing me off, anime. This is Angel Beats, but shittier. Same writer, so not surprised. 4/10 P.S. So, this is where that ENGRISH MEME came from? Lmfao. |

| This entire episode could be the premise of an anime and it would probably be better than the rest of this series. I don't know why I watched this anime to completion but this episode was pretty entertaining so I'd say it was worth it. |
| Yay! there was Poland on the map, erm.. wait so this is how I lost my powers and memory of it? Or maybe he missed me? Sometimes I still can make future happen exactly as I think of it, but only future for myself only and only several seconds forward in time... like.. at work "next 5 cases will be already done by my workmate" or "next 3 cases will xxx scenario that is easy and fast to finish". And all my work cases come to me at random so there is no way for me to know what it will be. Similar things happen to me more often, but not always come true :O There must be some trigger for my powers to work and maybe that is why Yuu and Kumagami didn't bother with me? :D Now back to the anime :d This last eps left some things inconsistent. For example Yuu didn't take all his friends powers in Japan, like taking memory, going through walls or making someone go sleep. Instead of going through wall he used the teleporting power of Joujirou. It was never told why Nao was being bullied by girls at school. And what power Sara had and her story and many more. If it was made same as Clannad with stories of other characters it would be so much better anime and longer. It was also ridiculous that he was hit third time with that guys crossbow and didn't do anything about it. Instead his brother came out of nowhere found him somehow. There still were people left with powers or powers yet to be awakened in Japan, but that is even more ridiculous that they were left with them and somehow maybe someone got the power to find Yuu again? Then Yuu lost his powers due to age after taking "last" power from this girl, but it was not last as Japan still had powers? And what would happen if his powers vanished when fighting someone or starting from the start how was he able to loot powers with one eye if it wasn't enough to time travel with one eye? Many things were left without answer because anime was too short. It should be at least 24 eps or 2 seasons 24 eps. First season building up stories of each character, then second season with what happened in last 6 episodes with more answers. Art was great and songs were nice also, but nothing spectacular same as the story. This leaves only 8/10 as it could be much better. Not to mention that there was no romance at all and it was all forced from the second episode. I bet they are not going to be together. and I didn't catch that, but what was Charlotte? Was it the name of organisation that Yuu brother created? |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| Uhhhhhhhhhh? Good? Good. Good? Good. |

| Yuu Otosaka really should have healed his eye and injuries. Then self control himself to not change the past unless it's something serious till his abilities expires. |
 |
| I can't believe I almost gave this a 10 after episode 7 lmao. So the show isn't that bad and was actually enjoyable. I like how he became strong and badass near the end, but deep down I was hoping that Tomori would come and fix him again like in episode 7. I also wanted him to time leap one more time and fix everything to have a clean story, but oh well good endings are hard to find nowadays. 8/10 |
| Recommend me an anime |
| The second he got that ability to heal it shoulda been GG just freaking go back and since you can heal you'll never go blind so you can keep trying literally infinitely until you manage to save everyone I mean really all he HAD to do was go back twice. 1st time go back to the warehouse and look at the key the baddies tossed to the driver (forgot his name) but they said the location and apartment number was on there so he coulda just grabbed the key, remembered the address then went back again and told everyone and they coulda saved his family thus Kumagami not being taken then happy end just wait it out like they were gonna do :/ but I guess his sister is worth going back in time to save but Kumagami isn't...fuck this ending lol I really enjoyed the first half though which is a shame. |
| Life is something that can never be lived twice. Even this pointless act will eventually end. And while thinking that one day, I'll surely regret its end. |
| I actually liked the anime. Except for the last episode, that one was seriously bad :/ I'm also a bit mad he didn't go back so save Kumagami, one of the best characters. I know why he didn't do it, but still.... His brother suffered so much because his best friend died, it was heartbreaking. Also sad that Misa is gone now, she was a badass |
 |
| Didn't think much of this at first but then it got really good in the 2nd half, it's flawed but still had some really good moments. Actually really liked the ending, made me well up. |
| I wanted to really like this show, and to an extent I did. But damn it was messy at times and super rushed finale that just left you wishing it was 24 episodes at least. Plus the whole thing about her being beaten up by the other school girls was just completely ignored? Either this show needed to be longer or the more comedic episodes needed to be focused more on the plot progressing instead. The point from his brother going back in time to the warehouse scene to him travelling the whole world taking abilities easily could of spanned 12+ episodes... |
 |
| Loved this anime so much, I really don't think there will be a next season cause this anime ended 4 years ago from now but i still really want another season :( I'm glad Yuu and Nao got together, even if he didn't remember her, now they can make some awesome new memories! or he might even remember the memories in his sleep like he did when his memories were erased :) |
 |
| god damn this anime was a clusterfuck. the first 12 episodes should have been expanded to at least 20 episodes and episode 13 should have been at least 10. also, why did nao's brother have sara's autograph? yuu never took her to meet him, in fact, he never met her in the current timeline because he time leapt back to save his sister. |
| Any series that gets me to binge literally all 13 episodes in one night deserves a 9 AT LEAST. I would've given it a 10 but I'm mad he didn't heal his eye just so he could be all chuuni-angsty about it. I mean god can't you heal your eye and just not use the time-leap? Ughhhhh Besides that gripe, this was a very easy binge. Really enjoyed it right up to the end. |
| Very mediocre series. I'm shocked this got a 7. I was waiting for when he was going to get the regen power and and of course he wouldn't use it to go back in time. Very lame since that is what should of happened. 5/10 |
 |
| Oh come on, he lost all his memories!? well, the first half was definitely better than the second. I felt like the show started to become a bit boring and just not as interesting with all those researchers and stuff. I wish they stayed as the Student Council. Good show tho, could've been an 8 if it wasn't for the second half. 7/10 |
| I know this series had a pretty controversial ending and I can understand the complaints from most people, but I really didn't mind it. In fact I kind of liked it. The biggest complaint is that it was somewhat rushed (which seems to be the case for all Maeda original anime). Still 7/10. I would have rated it higher if Yuu had died at the end of his mission tbh. |
| Enjoyed it to some degree, nothing too amazing. |
