Thread moved to the Charlotte board.

Personally i was thinking of Kanie Seiya from Amagi Brilliant park the entire time while watching the main of Charlotte.
Not only do the have the same personality but also the same voice actor.

What the OP forgets to mention is that te MC gets neutered halfway through the episode and none of those qualities matter as it turns into typical KEY show.

Why are you people jumping to conclusions already?

This anime doesn't have a manga so you can't use the "I know what's going to happen cuz I read the manga" it doesn't have LN neither.

So as of right now nobody can say "oh he wont be like Lelouch or he'll be like Lelouch"
I read it's made by Key and those people are unpredictable, if something happened to his sister he could totally pull a Lelouch and have everyone kill themselves with the eye power.

So many people are jumping to conclusions about this anime. I swear after 6 eps everyone will be loosing there minds about it. (Creator himself said the anime will be slow for 6 eps, then become something like after story/refrain)

The only aspect in which they're similar is personality/charisma, other than that: just no.

Thank lord to not have me come across any spoiler, or just any details for this anime. Straight to the point, nice and simple. I like you, OP. :)

I am putting this higher on my priority list. It's fine even if it doesn't turn out to be true.

I see the similarity between the two but I honestly think he really resembles Sora from No Game No Life, and to an extent Kanyie (if Kanyie was more perverted) from Amagi Brilliant park

Because throwing a logical fallacy out gives you SOOOOOOO much credibility right?

The voice and, somehow, the personality but...

while one shows his sinister smirk when he succeeds in his World Revolution..

the other shows his sinister smirk when he cheats at a school test :P

heck, Yuu even said "Keikaku doori" in this episode (although it's a Light Yagami quote. Light, Lelouch and Yuu have similar personalities)

I don't like Lelouch that much, specially the character design, but I do think that I will like Charlotte's MC. Nearly dropped Code Geass when I marathoned it, I was intrigued by its popularity and the story's mystery, so I kinda finished it 'till the last ep of Season 2. I didn't regret it, but still didn't liked it as a whole. :)
"I'm just your typical human being who commit sins just like you. But the difference is that I never lied and tell anyone that what I did was right. I regret and ask for forgiveness from Him."

Why is my signature not anime-related? It's because who gives a fuck? Anyway I'd like to advertise to you this:

SHINGEKI NO KYOJIN IS FOLLOWING A SIMPLE FLOW OF THE STORYLINE. AND IT GETS REPETETIVE IF YOU VIEW IT ON ITS BIGGER PICTURE. WITH A LITTLE PLOT TWIST AND NEW IDEAS, YOU FORGOT THAT IT HAD ALREADY HAPPENED BEFORE.

Also, Tokyo Ghoul is AWESOME. Especially :re.

anyways I love how they pulled this off... I want to punch MC the moment he opens his mouth for the very first time.. and then with his every word the urge to make him suffer grows.. and then BUM!

"to think something like this sells... that's the sign of the apocalypse"
To like this MC is like an act of rebellion towards the industry haha XD
first half hour they do everything to make you hate MC and then comes that literally immediate gratification.
They surely know how to win some audience haha I love it.

I think you missed all the "MC did nothing wrong" and "the annoying bitch ruined everything" comments in the other threads. It's not surprising given MAL's love for edgy antisocial assholes.

Funny you say that. Because that was the moment the anime went from "very promising and original" to "generic moeshit otaku pandering" and patronizing silver haired bitch and glasses nerd joined the list of my most hated characters.

Way to build up promising and interesting premise and great protagonist for first half only to ruin everything right next second.

Err no. Given how bad Lelouch's actions are, he still has the right moral compass. His purpose is righteous in the end and for the greater good.
While this MC abuses his power to get superficial ranking and love interest, and almost killing a random person at that (the truck driver, if the safety bag doesn't work he's dead). Nope, he's just super pathetic and failure as a human being.

From the first episode:

- The laugh
- Acts like he's superior than others
- A bit of a douche
- Has the power to take over someone's body (basically an upgraded version of Lelouch's mind control)
- Abuses his power to satisfy his needs

I'd say they're pretty similar.

You, sir, have great taste.
Lelouch, despite using underhanded techniques, had good intentions. His actions are rationalized, though never excused.
However, this MC is absolutely pathetic. I can tell KEY tried to show us how 'narcissistic' and 'badass' he is, but he only comes off as a jerk. His actions cannot be excused, let alone justified.
Also, Yuu is not original.
He's a blatant rip-off of Lelouch and Kanie.

I think the creators are just using all the famous anime's and making an amazin parody for the first six eps...like the whole corny ark in ep 1 about guy and girl stuff and then bam....Code Geass and then Amagi Brilliant Park....this is gonna be a good series no doubt

Why are you comparing the MC of this anime to Lelouch? They just look similar and have the ability to possess and that is it. I do not really like Lelouch until the second season where he is more fleshed out, but the MC of Charlotte right now is worse than Lelouch in his worse moments.

Lelouch would never let any bitch troll him like that. He is too smart to cheat and gets caught. And finally, he would keep his shit together even when his mind is racing and not overreact. He is a planner, never will he let others take a step in front of him.

He's more like Kanie Seiya than anything. He only gets to be Lelouch for like 10 minutes before he gets shut down!
