Charlotte

It's a cool story that i haven't seen in much series before. But thing is: It's to short

This is a very good short series. The major problem with Charlotte is the first half. It was very dull despite the interesting main protagonists. The second half was saved by a visionary plot twist that was well worked upon to its full potential. This totally changed the storyline into a banger. It becomes darker and unpredictable. If you can get past at least 5 or 6 episodes without dropping, you definitely won't regret it.

This anime suffered from overhype at its release. It came after Angel Beats, a very well known and loved anime by the weebs, with the promise to fix its problems and deliver an even better story. And, I must admit, kinda did; but then forgot it had a schedule and had to rush. Story-wise, it has some really neat concepts to work with, but could be a movie or a couple OVA's. Sometimes the longer format of an anime really helps to give you the feeling of something alive, get familiar with its characters and grow inside you. But the characters on this anime are really well introduced, and you immediately can feel close to them - the intense moments are really intense, and the emotions always feel like a punch. It simply delivers everything very well and right away. The episodes made to develop our relation characters feel very bad and useless compared to the ones delivering the hard stuff. I had to rewatch the whole thing to be sure, and I was right. There are two or three breathtaking episodes, filled with every kind of emotion you can wish for, dealing with touchy subjects with such finesse I had to take a bath and reset my mindset, but the rest is just... eh. Give it a shot, it's worth for the good parts. Those good episodes are outstanding, really great if compared to other modern anime and movies, but the remaining 75% of it is skippable.

In the beginning it seemed really nice and kind of gave me a slice of life vibe but when it came to the end it becane really heavy with lots of hard challanges hapoening. Some audiences might find it hard to take.

This story kept surprising me. I initially liked the funny characters and the situations they appeared in. But after a while the story suddenly really grabbed me and just when I was thinking it was going to drag a little BOOM again something unpredictable happens.

After I was done with this rollercoaster ride I realised how much I had begun to love the characters and the amazing story plot twists.

Pro's:

• Loveable characters
• Funny
• Great story

Cons:

• Bit short
• Some episodes I was in danger of getting bored but then luckily something amazing happened again
