This review is will contain spoilers but ill mark it okay guys? If you don't want to go through the trouble of reading each part skip to my overall for a summary. Arrigatou Gozaimasu <3
Where do I start...
Story: 4/10
The story of charlotte started off well, it held a lot of potential and I enjoyed the beginning. It didn't seem anything out of the ordinary, but was okay, I was set to watch the whole anime, and since I'm such a big time Binger I had planned to spend the day binging the anime. The good parts of this story? I don't know what to tell you, there was nothing amazing about the plot, probably the music, the ZHEIND "arc" if you would call it was very touching and touched me but overall it wasn't horrible.
SPOILER ALERT:
Until Yuu's younger sister Ayumi died. Now from this point in time the anime began to deplete...ARGHH It just angers me because there was so much potential, and once Ayumi dies Yuu goes on a tantrum and starts becoming some villain that the audience knows he isn't. It was just a stupid plot twist. Many people would say "how would you feel if your sister died". Well, I dunno, but it was just ridiculous and cheesy. The NEXT PROBLEM THAT REALLY GRINDED MY GEARS was the creation on an older brother. Yuu has an older brother. This was so stupid...Why introduce a brother a few episodes before the end?? Ontop of this trying to take all the powers of everyone in the world, all done in the final episode. Talk about a rushed plot!! It would be impossible.
Art:6/10
The art was clean and crisp I cannot really complain, there was nothing wrong with the art.
Sound:6/10
I won't write about this because I feel it isn't necessary.
Character: 3/10
The character development was poor. Almost zero backstory or depth to the characters, I struggled to sympathise with any characters, mainly because I didn't know them, I couldn't grown with them. Bare in mind its a 13 episode anime, which I hate because I feel anime's with only one season are often rushed and poorly executed due to not enough time or planning. There was no substance or bond in the friendships, the only connection I felt was Yuu and his sister Ayumi, but even that...
Overall:
Guys just don't watch this anime, it is a waste of time, you all deserve better...Many believe MAL ratings are wrong or exaggerated, and animes that are good these days are only rated 6/7, which although is rated good people will really only watch an anime if its rated 8+ . But I'm not exaggerating, I'm the type of Otaku that doesn't mind if the plot has been rinsed, or the sound isn't the best, as long as its blooming enjoyable and has me hooked Im satisfied. But this anime had major flaws. And Since I've seen soo much anime, (trust me not as much as some people) it got really annoying.
