You mean it would be satisfying if there weren't so many plotholes? Or if they followed some logic when writing it?
They just pushed the Feelz button and are expecting that everyone will be happy after previous trainwreck?
Who cares that Nao started loving him so suddenly? That he remembers things from other timeline he shouldn't? How come he was able to finish the task so easily? And the helicopter arrived precisely at the moment when it was needed.

I have just one word for this mess - it was all CONVENIENT. Convenient to the story, convenient to writer. Actually, no character out there acted out of those boundaries of conveniency during whole show.

And the second season? Please, don't try to joke around! I would go as far as to say that even if they produced the visual novel I would stay far from playing it.

To me, 1000 words should be more than enough. Imo though this series could have been much better, now its slightly above average.

The ending was better than the show but it's still really bad. I couldn't find the ending satisfying at all with how Nao just fall in love with him from nowhere and no-one going after him after he finished his job.

The ending was complete garbage. I thought Maeda would have improved after the incredibly rushed, but still miles better than Charlotte, Angel Beats!. But he only got worse.

The firsth half of the show was way superior.

This.

And like Mich666 said, there was so much plot convenience. How was Yuu able to finish the task so easily? Traveling the world to plunder tens of thousands of abilities is something that should take at least a couple years to do. And idk if I missed something, but I saw no indication of some sort of timeskip.

The helicopter with Yuu's brother and co. showed up at the exact moment Yuu needed to be rescued, in the exact location. How did they know he was there? Once again, did I miss something?

If we want to talk about plot holes, remember when Yuu was talking to Sala on the bus in episode 8 if I'm not mistaken, and she said she became blind by "atoning for her sins." Did they ever explain that? I think she said something like Yuu would figure it out at some point, but I don't recall that happening. I'm sorry to sound like a broken record, but if I missed something, please let me know. But if they indeed did not address that, then the whole "atoning for her sins" thing just sounds dumb. They should have just done something simpler like "blindness runs in my family."

This may seem kind of irrelevant, but I don't think they ever explained why Nao was bullied by that group of girls in an episode back in the first half of the series. Maybe that was just there to add a little drama to Nao's school life, but I would have liked to understand exactly why she was being picked on and victimized.

These are just a few examples but Charlotte had so much potential that ended up being wasted. It's a damn shame too, because I really liked the first episode. But after episode 6 or 7, it started to crumble like a Nature Valley granola bar.

I do think the bullying thing is because nao was beating up people individually so they gang rape bully her. I think everyone really like the first half of episode 1.

Kind of ironic given how Maeda said to wait until episode 6.
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process.
Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers.

Yeah that's probably the reason for it. I may have just been overthinking it, but for some reason I thought there was some special reason from Nao's past that led to her being bullied.

You know what made this series even worse than the sums of its parts? It actually had a great idea that they wasted. The entire series could have been compressed into one episode, and the other 12 could have been about him collecting powers. That would of been huge fun. But this trash? And everything ending so convenient and tidy? I'm annoyed that I'll never get this time I've wasted back.

Wow, what's with all the hatred?! I'm far from calling Charlotte the best anime ever, but it was definitely not bad, not even close to bad, IMO. Sure, it bit more than what 13 episodes could chew, especially with such "big" stuff as time-travel, a whole world full of ability-wielders, terrorism, communicating with the dead... Yeah, none of that was really used as well as it could be, but a series with all those elements perfectly realized is next to impossible to create. And it would take quite a lot more than 13 episodes I would think.

All in all, I really don't see any reason for actually despising Charlotte. When compared to the greats, it definitely looks weak, but on its own it is still better and more interesting than many, I mean MANY, others.

Not saying you should shut up and like it - just saying maybe take a second look from a different perspective and you might find out that Charlotte is NOT in fact worse than cancer.

I enjoyed the show, but near the end of the last episode.. When he was getting shot by the crossbow. Why didn't he use his powers? He just gained the power of courage. Wouldn't he be able to muster the strength to fight back and heal himself?

It bother me tons, and then his brother shows up (no idea how he found Yu) and saved him. Most pointless thing I've ever seen.

I'm banking between "are you serious Key?" and "WTF he should've died in Tomori's arms!" Otherwise I thought the rest of the show was alright. Just WTF was that ending?
Just need to find out how to quote this every time so I can dodge the stupid 30-character limit.

i have mixed feeling on it , let's say that since the author shit on the story on episode 12 , the ending is on par with the quality of the script so without changing the story himself i don't think that you can make a really better ending than this one ... but yeah it's really shitty

The story make no sense , with clearly have 3 series compacted in one with A LOT of idea ( good and bad )

The character aren't well written , the show is rushed but everything up to the rescue of Yuu's Sister is really good. It should have ended there.

I'm mad because it really started as a good series ( the best of the season with rokka no yushaa to me), and in the end i will not even give it a 5/10...

If it was a 24 - 26 episodes series instead of this i'm pretty sure it would have been different

sidenote : I LOVED angel beats! so i'm not a hater of maeda

They should do anither season and say that it was just a dream, and the true part is beggining now xD It would be really good anime if it would be logical, if they explained some thing, if they didn't add woman to op who didn't showed up in anime beside op, and if takajou, misa and yusa weren't useless.

The OVA will be Shun and Nao finding Yu dead and realizing the rescue was just in his mind. Then it will be on blu-ray as Season 2 for 8500 yen.
