| Charlotte "spoiler". It isn't confirmed, but highly hinted towards: Clannad means "familiy" in Irish. |
Ruben_Jb said: Charlotte "spoiler". It isn't confirmed, but highly hinted towards: +1 When you first see the OP title screen there is a bunch of shooting stars coming from the sky with the characters looking at them. Then one of those shooting stars come from the left side to the right side and becomes part of the title of the series. That could be a hint about the name. Here...... I just quickly put this screenshots together from the OP to illustrate it: I’m talking about shooting stars, but Charlotte will most likely be the name of a comet, as previously stated by the user above me. Anyway, this is just an assumption. Whatever it is, I hope to find out later on the story. |

| After all, "Charlotte" is the name of a comet IRL. Together with all these hints, you could say this is kinda confirmed now. |
| You know, I only figured why Angel Beats was named that in the last episode so you'll find your answer sooner or later. |

Air I don't know I think it has a relation with Kanon I don't know but I heard the anime is the same as a "Canon" music term which is play the same thing at different interval(hard to explain...) Little busters is because the group of friend are called the little busters duh. |
| Hey guys, no idea on the comet, but: Charlotte is the feminine form of Charles, which means "Adventure" so far it has done so ;) |
| Called it a comet since episode 1. |
 |
| i wonder.. hmm :3 |

| Charlotte's Web, ain't it? |
| Kanon? Already explained in VN and anime by definition of music (don't remember which episode). It was really cool used in this anime context. Little Busters? Lol, they named their group Little Busters? Air, I think it is simple, it is all about the girl with wings. Clannad?, yeah, good question. |

crnflakes said: Charlotte is a french which means: dessert made of stewed fruit with bread covering, can be bread crumbs, sponge cake. this word is also a french female name. why "charlotte" ? based on my theory, it is used to describe nao the student council president. "how"? nao does not trust anyone, because her parents sold her off to the scientist, shes lost the ability to trust anyone ever since. as if shes built an invisible wall around herself. well then back to the dessert ^^ the bread crumbs, sponge cake or bread is covering the stewed fruit. did it click ? nao formed an invisible wall around herself to protect her self. hence the wall is the sponge cake. *flashback* nao is actually a sweet, kind hearted and caring girl, kinda famous in her school before her breakout knowing shes a test subject. woaahh did it click again ? sweet kind and caring. hence the stewed fruit. so that means this anime is named after the french word charlotte to describe nao. i know im drunk source: brain This is great. 10/10 theory. |
| Most likely something to do witg nao and/or comets since theh are so prelevant in the ED and a comet is always featured along side the title. A comet (and nao) are def related to why this anime is called charolette. A great deal of the plot can be figured out from the messages in th OP. A lot of the words and messages are obscured too. |

But I found something: > shooting star > comet 76th I initially thought that was referencing Halley's Comet, since that has an orbital period of 75-76 years, and that reference is only supported by one of the texts appearing in the OP saying "75 Cycle." |

| There's a lot of theories about naming the anime Charlotte. Some people believe that Charlotte is the comet found throughout the anime ( Especially the OP) and some people think that a new character (Charlotte) is going to show up in the anime and some even think that Charlotte is actually one of the characters. This is my theory: Collapse :Ayumi Otosaka Hypnotism :Medoki Ascertainment :Kumagami Remove memory :Maedomori Looting :Yū Otosaka Obscure :Nao Tomori Time leap :Shunsuke Otosaka Teleport :Jōjirō Takajō Evocation :Yusarin Yes, Charlotte is actually the initials for the powers.Thanks for reading😆 If u liked our theory, please give us some support by liking our Facebook page www.facebook.com/animenewbs |
| They already mentioned that it was a comet. Why are people still so hung up about other theories? |
