I am NOT liking Yuu. He seems like a slightly less obnoxious version of Light Yagami. Ugh, and when he put that poor girl in danger for a chance to date her. I would have slapped him silly if I was the girl with the white hair.

Ok, it is was very douchey grabbing that girl's hand, making her fall, letting her down and running away... He deserved being dumped.
Anyway it was a very good first episode.

Liked this a lot! The MC is cool and I love that he's lazy, selfish and wants to use the ability to gain something for himself. Then he'll be forced to think others. It's good not to be interested right away, since that would be boring.
The abilitys are interesting. I also like Joujirou. <3

this ep is 10/10. i kinda feel bad for myself for putting this on hold for so long, just cause i wanted to steam through naruto. but honestly, the animation is great and the anime really captured me. (this was my first non-naruto/bleach/dragon ball z etc type anime)

This seems interesting enough. The mc is actually a bit likeable and if I had those powers I would probably do the same as far as exams go. Gotta say I really dislike that student council president, it would probably tick anyone off to have a camera in their face all the time.

The first episode wasn't too bad. I like the art color saturation and the premise of the plot is interesting. Two things crop up for my dislike:
1. MC has no concern for anyone's safety or pain
2. Little Sister refers to herself constantly in the third person.....that's just thug weird

Holy shit! What a first episode.

Yuu just kept reminding me of Lelouch.

One way to get me to watch a show is to have powers and use them on girls to check their underwear in the opening minutes.

Damn. Who needs cupid when you have Yuu causing accidents so he can get the girl he wants.

LMAO! I knew the school was going to catch him for cheating. What I didn't know was that he got all the answers right on the test. If you're going to cheat, aim for 90. Don't get them all right. Yuu was about to get exposed one way or another.

Damn. I was sad when Yuu made Yumi fall. I was hoping he'd apologize for that, but I guess he sort of it off screen, hence why they met later on.

What a guy. He asks Yumi to travel far to see him, but can't put any effort to do the same for her. I get that he's being watched, but still. Best hope she's single after high school.

"Sister convention."

This bothers me, since he is in no way "ancient". Just sayin.

Nice episode overall, Nice powers though I don't like how he used it to cause the accident. The most interesting part was when he was suspected of cheating and told to retake the exam, and must get 90% or higher, or proof he cheated. I always wondered of this scenario, and wouldn't that count as self-incrimination? He probably should have the right not to be forced to do anything that could potentially self incriminate him. I think there really needs to be really solid grounds that he cheated before they make an accusation. I mean even if he been getting 100s and got the 0 on the retake, he could always argue that his past scores were all guesses and he guessed 100% correct LOL

It is a cliche for some reason right? I like her character so that is something I m looking forward to, if there is really any romance on the anime.

Why are all the characters so annoying in this anime? Well, at least the main character got his ass kicked for abusing his powers, so that's something. Not too impressed with the first episode, hopefully the next will be better.

Well what can I say, it was interesting. MC seems to be a deuche so far, but of course, it's only the first episode.

I'm gonna give this a 4/5 i hope it's not gonna be a disappointment, as many people told me

I always thought this guy kinda reminded me of Lelouch, and then he did that random maniacal laugh that sealed the resemblance. I'm really anxious for the part where he'll get humiliated or his perfect world will get tipped upside down, I mean there was that guy who filmed him in the beginning. Rather suspicious, huh? Oop, there it is. It's sad that the powers disappear after adolescence... They have a brother? How come he doesn't remember him?

I could've watched this show, a show following the same dynamic of this episode. It would've been fun at the very least. Sadly Charlotte's dynamic changes dramatically from the second episode onward and becomes a complete borefest.

Great art as to expect from KEY, but there is no OP/ED yet? I hope at least one will be great.

Too bad that Mc got C*Block ;d and they even ruined his life, he could earn loads of money with his ability before his powers disappear ;/
It was also funny at few scenes :)

Seems like the characters have geass and stuff. The sister was real funny and I like her.

The MC was also hilarious at times. And that ass bend.



But I didn't get much stuff. Looks like I have to watch the next episode.



Oops, wrong Charlotte. Wonder why the anime is named that way. But so far, none of the names are familiar to me.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.

For a short (10-13ep) series, this 1st episode was a mess, but since it is quite a popular anime on its own, presumably it does pick up in some way, but meh, 2nd episode is either going to hook me up, either solidifying the current intent to drop this thing, with yet another "what masses like is not always a good thing" memory, sadly.
And dfqs wrong with silver haired MC - how can mc b so "unlikeable" in a sheer seconds of its first appearance?

*spoilerfree subjective opinion downwards for any1 who is interested to read negative opinions bout Charlotte b4r tackling it, no need 2 h8, theres no h8, opinions r always a matter of personal taste whether they r objective or subjective - it is an opinion, yes, a negative one, but by the looks of it, im not the only one who thinks like that, therefore, this further comment is meant for a newcomer which is thinking bout this title, but is on a crossroads of good and bad reviews of it, thanks for understanding*

p.s.s. Status: Dropped, Rating 2/10. Episodes watched 3.3 properly, afterwards till the end - fast forward style. Is it bad? No, definitely not. Is it good? God no, ofcourse not. Then what is it? It’s a child. A child which goes to groceries store with a fake ID, and tries to buy alcohol underage – Charlotte is trying to be what it isn’t, and ever could b at all. Is it disappointing? No, I think it would b if it would span 24+ episodes like guilty crown and franxx. Its just trying too hard 2 b what it most definitely isn’t. It tries 2 b dramatic - it fails miserably by ruining the basics of drama sequencing and character growth. It tries 2 b a cool dystopic techno-catastrophic action based mystical slice of life school drama - it fails miserably, since its just a pile of different genres bound together, with a hope that altogether the outcome would b smth ultra cool. In a way, i have a feeling it would b better if it would have bigger serialisation, like maybe 24ep+ or smth like that. Or maybe quite frankly, the other way around - the 2h movie might b a much more better solution, who knows. But the bad thing about Charlotte imho is, that if animations would b done in a less colourfull palette, with less appealing drawing style of characters - it would suffer much more as a title. I honestly feel bad for Charlotte - it is somewhat most definitely structured hastedly - the tempo of the main events and surrounding occasions around them shouldv been opened with a much less haste, and with much more richer meaning in it. It is smth like ur favourite meal, like, made from the best ingredients, big sized portion, etc etc, everything to fulfill ur physical and psychological needs, but instead of enjoying each bite of it, u swallow it up in a matter of 10 seconds and have a bad stomachache afterwards. The backgrounds of the characters are understandable, yes, definitely, but they were introduced to viewer in overly hasted form of this is A, A has such history to her/him. Got it? no? whateva, this is B...
U cant build a full on drama in a matter of 2 or 3 episodes loosely filled with fillers of different genres. Scenography and directing of movie versus the series(even if latter is as short as 12 eps) is totally different from one another. It feels like they tried to transplant the canons of filmmaking in a series, but in the end, that is not gonna work as transplanting cows heart in a human body wouldnt work either.
Although, i do respect all the positive comments/reviews iv read before - the things ppl liked n loved bout this title are definitely present there, and ppl r not overexaggerating. But, based on the things iv noted beforehand, atleast for me (and as far as i see, the same goes for many other ppl), Charlotte is like a good cognac/whisky/gin/etcetc but it is spoiled by a vial that holds it in itself - it might have been much more higher in even MALs top ranking, if it would have been reformatted and restructured differently.

I thought the start of this show was interesting for sure. Lots of funny and cute moments in the first episode. We get introduced to our MC who appears to be a bit of an asshole since he abuses his ability to cheat through life. We also meet Tomori the female lead who recruits Yu to a different school. Maybe for ability users only? Speaking of abilities, they seem to all have drawbacks so that nothing is overpowered or can be abused too badly. I think that's a nice touch from the writers. Overall I enjoyed this episode.

Didn't think there would be super powers in this but I'm for it. Should make things more interesting.

I initially thought that this would just be your run of the mill drama but it doesn't seem to be going in that direction just yet. The characters seem pretty interesting and the visuals look pretty good; which I expected no less from P.A. Works. And the visuals for the ED fit very well with the song imo.

Dropped this a little over halfway nearly two years ago now, when I first started to really get into anime. Why I dropped it was probably because I thought the characters were rather annoying, insufferable even. And while I was swamped in a myriad of other anime that I wanted to watch way more, I just didn't find this appealing at all.

Fast-forward to today when I have pretty much completed all the anime I have wanted to watch, with really nothing much on my mind concerning anime other than those that are currently airing and those that are still upcoming. Am definitely taking it more easy now, watching at a more leisurely pace. And I myself am not exactly sure why, but I have decided to pick up Charlotte again, be it that it is a very popular anime, or perhaps that I thought I was being ignorant back then, and wanted to give it a second chance. Whatever it is, I do now have the urge to watch this and finish it this time, with a more open mind.

And right off the bat, while it does feel quite generic, it's not that bad actually. I dug this first episode. I still see the traits in the characters that I found annoying, but for the most part, they're actually kind of fun so far. And the concept of a world with beings that have super powers with significant drawbacks is not entirely original, but it's certainly more welcome than not having any drawbacks at all. It should make this much more interesting.

Back then, I literally left Charlotte with a 2/10, and never looked back. Now it somehow had risen to my interest, and at the moment, I could see myself giving this a max of 7/10. But will probably end up being a 5 or a 6. Fingers crossed that this will actually be a fun time!

Well wasn't this something interesting? It sure is great to have these super powers.

When the MC pulled the truck-kun stunt I seriously thought is he retrded, I mean who does that?

Seems like this is going to have comedy and serious moments both. I've heard too much about people crying in Charlotte, let's see.

Good episode overall.

Good introduction to the series. As it's my second time watching it, I am now noticing a certain amount of foreshadowing for what's to come down the line. I also forgot how insufferable the main character is at first. Looking forward to finishing the rest!

As despicable as the MC is, I actually kind of hate the white hair invisible girl, and the teleporter glasses guy more. Don't get me wrong, MC is an ass for crashing a truck and putting people's lives in danger just to hook up with the girl he has the hots for; but teleporter guy trashes a couple of city blocks (why isn't he held responsible for that?) just to rough up, and intimidate the MC, and invisible girl uses her power to beat up the MC. Hypocrite much? Seriously MC should have defended himself by possessing teleporter dude to beat the crap out of invisible girl as payback. Those two are even more annoying for showing up at his new dorms to inject themselves between him and his sister.

I thinking either the sister also has powers, or they're using the sister as a hostage to control the MC. Also the cold way the "girl the MC has the hots for" dumped him, makes me suspect they used a super power on her also.

I'm getting a Light Yagami from "Death Note" vibe from the MC, and a "Talentless Nana" vibe for don't trust the super school.
