| Dem eyes though. Will watch atleast 2 more episodes before I decide to drop or not. |
A stupid thread deserves a stupid answer!  |
| By far the most interesting Key protagonist imo. lmao you can already see where the tears are going to come from. These special abilities are going to represent something -- like, the main girl can go invisible because she always felt/feels invisible to other people or some shit. |
| ahahaha hey its Kanie in younger years this probably the prologue of Amagi Brilliant Park because they say they lost their powers when they become Adult that would be Kanie in Amagi Just Joking well the Yu reminds how Kanie talks and behaviors to other people around him I dont why the title Charlotte I was expecting the girls name is Charlotte |
 |
| Man, that MC is a bastard. Pretty interesting first episode, but I'm not completely sold yet. In AB! we had Key coffee, now we have a Key cafe. I see a pattern. |

| Overhyped and undewhelming so far. Hope this project of P.A. and Maeda doesn't end up as mere eye-candy. 3/5 is generous, imo. |
 |
| Oh this was a good start. Got some good laughs from MC. |
  |
| Maeda Jun & P.A. Works |
 |
| So basically another Kanie Seiya (they are equal even in appearance o_O) but with a more rotten personality, but not quite as smart eh? (well he is methodical but academics aren't his forte). Not sure what to make of Tomori. She still does not sell me well as a character and looks more of a troll than anything and a rather arrogant (in the bad sense) one. At the very least she gave this guy a good lesson. The sister is funny as hell and that Yumi girl, is for all means and purposes a Diva. Basically she girly and stuff on the surface, but when she is pissed off, she won't have remorse on unleashing every she has to throw and looking down on you while doing so, eh? That was a real fail target. (even if I'm a sucker for long black-haired girls in pale skin). |
 |
| That was a good first episode. The characters seem really interesting. Yuu is such a massive scumbag, I already love him. Causing an accident to get closer to a girl? Check. Using your power for perverted matters? Check. Creating a huge lie that you're a super smart top student by cheating? Check. The other two, Tomori and Joujirou, have good potential too. I'm kinda wondering how he keep his suit so clean with that crazy teleportation (or more like translation?) power. I wonder where the plot will go. The fact that there are people with power and that both Yuu and his sister made the same dream seem way too convenient. I'm guessing there is someone with an amnesia power. |

| I get the feeling this will be another anime with a very intriguing story concept but sloppy execution. And from the the first episode, I kind of saw that. Granted, the animation was great, it had a unique atmosphere around it, but the writing was not impressive. It's like reading a VN, but animated. Started with the introduction of the protagonist complete with what was he all about through his inner thought, going about his daily life, met a girl he liked, & so on. It seems like Jun Maeda's skills in writing VN does not translate that well into an anime & make this really dull. But at least the protagonist was not generic & pretty refreshing, though I kind of annoyed by his grin. It's like the anime kept telling me in the face, "Look! He's an evil character! Look at the grin! Look at it!" |

| fresh storyline, never mind this anime became so popular on first episode their power isn't work perfectly, it will be nice coz the other anime put some "super highly" power to some char, it's just too mainstream! zadkieI said: I hope its won't turn out to be a sad anime. yeah, i hope so |
 |
| I really liked the first episode and this seems to be a very promising show. I was so interested in it that it felt like it flew by in a matter of minutes, and I really like Yuu. He reminds me of Lelouch and yagami Light which are two favorite characters of mine. Yuu also reminds of myself. Kind've an asshole and narcissistic, as well as good looking ;P |
| MC is a piece of shit for endangering that one girl, but I like him. Not really a fan of those other sanctimonious two. |
MegaShadowFist said: Moodie said: everyone would tbh these keyboard warriors are just preaching but i doubt they practice their good ethics Ehhh...I'm not quite sure if I agree with that. Would everyone be a saint? That's highly doubtful, but I don't believe that everyone would act this way the moment that they got such powers. It seems very unlikely. To be fair, although looking at others' answers is against test taking rules and the spirit of test taking, there are no rules that I am aware of that prevent "mind reading for answers" or "possessing someone for answers." And even if there were, he could just do all that before the test. Tests are about what knowledge you acquire (that's the spirit of it) and how you can apply it when quizzed upon it (based upon a arbitrary scoring system usually), so using "mind reading powers" beforehand wouldn't be cheating or breaking the spirit of the rules. It simply just means he as another "library of knowledge" of sorts he can easily access (other people's minds). The only real issue (beyond looking at people's answers physically in their bodies as opposed to their minds) is the obvious privacy violations in such a circumstance. |
Takuan_Soho said: I wouldn't say evil, just spoiled. He was granted a limited superpower and used it in the only way he thought he could benefit from it. The other two characters, in showing him that he is not alone, actually have given him a chance to use his powers more productively. They have effectively seduced him by tying his cooperation to his sisters happiness. PC Works animations always start incredibly, their animation is likewise top class. The one problem I have noticed is that their works are that they tend to fade in the end. If they can avoid this, then this should be a fun ride. If they cannot not, it will still be a decent ride, just frustrating in the end. If they did try to make him look like a spoiled boy with that grin & showed it so many times, that's not the way to go. I think by his actions & his plentiful inner monologue would be more than enough to show the viewers that he's a spoiled boy. What do you mean? The animation? Or the overall quality? |
| I like anime. |
| Its finally here!!! This was everything i was hoping it was going to be and more :D 10/10 :) |
| Interesting first episode. Didn't expect the plot to have supernatural aspects, expected another highschool romance drama of some sort. I do hope the MC gets a better attitude, throughout the whole episode until any moments he had with his little sister, it was very frustrating seeing how he manipulated others for such petty things with his powers. |
 |
| Best...sister....character....ever But that was a good first episode. |
| Interesting start. I like that the main character was a jerkbag. I wonder if he will develop as a character or hardly change at all. I also wonder what the meaning of Charlotte is since none of the characters are actually named Charlotte. |

blazehero said: I also wonder what the meaning of Charlotte is since none of the characters are actually named Charlotte. Maybe Charlotte is the name of a secret project that made those people have superpowers? That's my theory. |
| I like anime. |
| this was a pretty fun first episode. i like the MC :> |
 |
| I already like the MC. It a nice personality change than the usual nice/quite/mysterious types out there these days. But I can't help think of Kankie everytime he speaks because of their similar looks and same voice actors. |
| Lol am I the only one who thinks him taking girls bodies and looking at their boobs is kind of worse than the truck thing? I mean, he always planned on saving her, the others he basically peeped on. Really enjoyed the episode, and the MC. |
| Jaywalker. |
| Looks good, loved the humor. Has an Angel Beats! feel to it but I hope it doesn't end with plotholes like it did with AB! The little sister is annoying tho >_< |

davinci12 said: Imeon said: So we'll have an violent female who humiliates the MC? That's.... nice....... Better than the MC straight up killing someone. He deserved to be punched for what he did. That's exactly what he got. He could've killed a number of people, just to get with a girl who he hasn't met. Come on, If you were watching him abusing his power and almost getting people killed you would've done the same thing. Just like if you had his power at his age with raging hormones you would've done the same thing he did. Why don't you wait and watch a few more eps rather than jumping the gun? Just an initial assessment. I can't do that? It can change LOL |

| Good first episode. Creates a mystery putting the nature of the world into question. Basically the usual Key stuff. I'm just hoping they don't waste too much time on comedy like Angel Beats did and instead focus more on fleshing out the characters this time. No OP/ED. That's a shame. I was really looking forward to seeing those. |
 |
| Remember your lesson from Angel Beats staff: Less half-assed comedic bs, more actual story and character development You're supposed to be telling a story. Let's hear it. It was an ok pilot. I'll give it a few more episode to see how it is. I really want this to succeed honestly. |
Will I fall in love someday? I wonder? |
| Jun Even stated that the first 6 eps is going to be slow and comedian. |

I was really looking forward to seeing those. I actually don't have a problem with the comedy in Angel Beats and to be frank, I think Angel Beats needed to be a 2-cour series, comedy or no comedy to fully flesh out its story. Even series like Clannad and Kanon had quite a few comedic moments, but what those two series had were 2-cours to completely flesh out its story, and in Clannad's case, a masterful 2-cour sequel. Angel Beats, for all intents and purposes, NEEDED two cours to fully flesh it out because I don't think it was physically possible to do it in two cours. Even if you did cut out the comedic moments entirely, I still think it would've been enough. |
| This was a slow start but it was very interesting. I like most of the characters so far other than the little sister. She's a bit overly stereotypical for my tastes. Also, it's refreshing to have the MC be a dick but actually suffer some sort of consequence for it rather than everyone simply accepting it as a normal fact of life. It's also interesting to see the way that they all utilise their different abilities. Very promising start. |
Sweanime said: Jun Even stated that the first 6 eps is going to be slow and comedian. As long as they will be good slow episodes, fine by me. |
| I like anime. |
| The setting might be cliche but the MC is pretty interesting, he's like Light mix with Lelouch. He got the power to possess anyone for 5 seconds and he use for the thing we all would do, cheat test,troll people and perverted thing. He try to get the girl he likes by planning an accident, he's nut. |
 |
| The first part was great, the second part was disappointing. The MC is an asshole, sure, but that's exactly what makes it so entertaining to watch. I hope we will see more of him being a manipulative bastard in the following episodes and that it doesn't become just about reforming him into a "good guy". |
| Can I just say his sister totally reminded me of Fuko freaking out over the stars? Cuz' she totally did. Anywho not a bad start IMO. I appreciate the fact that they deliberately portrayed the MC as a totally cynical scumbag - it leaves a lot of room for character development and the potential exploration of the human psyche.....which is always fun. I'm a little worried that this might become somewhat formulaic in the middle because they mentioned something about helping students with other powers....but hopefully those characters the MC has to help are more secondary to the plot. I'm also a little intrigued by the hypothesized sibling...I'm hoping that will help if this series does end up taking the episodic formula into play. Overall while bits of this seem pretty cliche I'm definitely intrigued and expecting/hoping for some more character depth. So glad they skimped on the opening/ending because this episode definitely needed the extra time. |
| Good start, I like the concept of limited powers. Felt the MC could have used his more creatively when being chased. |
 |
| Amazing. Can't wait for next episode. What a way to start. |
 If Evangelion were Rokka no Yuusha the seventh would be Shinji. |
Sweanime said: Jun Even stated that the first 6 eps is going to be slow and comedian. Are they starting a new trend, or is it just a visual novelists thing? First Uchikoshi and now Jun. Do they really think just because they said that before hand they can excuse the quality of their works? They should be confident and dedicated right from the start, that's how you gain respect from others, imagine going to a restaurant the chef told you the meal will be good after the second course, how professional. |
| Best first episode this season!! Really makes me want the week to go faster so that I can watch the next episode XD |

Toucanbird said: I agree. But even with a single cour, Angel Beats could have accomplished much more with the time it had if they just reduced/removed the comedy. This show is also 13 episodes which is why I'm hoping they learn from their "mistakes" and make good use of the little time that they have rather than wasting it on filler comedy skits.5layer said: I actually don't have a problem with the comedy in Angel Beats and to be frank, I think Angel Beats needed to be a 2-cour series, comedy or no comedy to fully flesh out its story.I'm just hoping they don't waste too much time on comedy like Angel Beats did and instead focus more on fleshing out the characters this time.

I am really digging the main character. He is an interesting one. Also, the animation is really great, the movement is fluid and I am looking forward to watch the next episode. [b]Takajou's really growing on me, y'know?[/b' |
