I liked angel beats better, since it was able to wrap things up in a satisfying conclusion, instead, with Charlotte I felt like they wanted to cram another cour into 2 episodes.

I feel the same as I did when it ended, wasted potential.

The last episode could have been it's own season. it felt like the end of a VN only without the 50 hours of emotional investment.

It also really annoyed me that they never even acknowledged the fact that what they are doing might not be the best thing. they just arbitrarily decided that these powers shouldn't exist, so that makes forcibly removing them a-okay. MC looked like an X-men villain in the last episode, but at the end it was just "good job, world saved"

also needed more flashlight loli

So in the last episode, when he tries to force his sleep, and then wakes up to the news, was that him who massacred the hospital?

I loved every second of it, the highlight of the season for me.

However, the pacing was horrible, just as it was with Angel Beats. Both series needed more episodes to not rush things.

Also, the ending was pretty tame, I just wanted to see more romance. And bringing the imouto back from death was cheap as fuck. Just lead the dead stay cold.

The annoying loli was cute.

Isn't that the girl he tries to seduce in the first episode? Pancake girl.

So by that logic NNA sucked because it didn't sell well? I don't see how success correlates to quality of material, especially in this industry.

>>136183839
It had some serious pacing issues. Also I found the side characters to be annoying. Glasses was funny until blond bitch came around and her cutesy bullshit became his main character trait. While Charlotte had its moments it is 4/10 in my book, at least it had a great opening song.

>>136183839
Not as good as Glasslip.

If he fixed his eye and time traveled back to before the date where his brother time traveled back to (and therefor he wouldn't be blind) wouldn't they both be able to time travel? (and effectively be able to time travel back in time infinitely?)

I thought I understood every word of this show, but I don't recall much in the way of logical justification for stealing everyone's powers. It just seemed to be a very Japanese idea that anything individual and different is bad, therefore it must be suppressed.

>>136184466
>hey just arbitrarily decided that these powers shouldn't exist, so that makes forcibly removing them a-okay.

This part really pissed me off the most. Just because they are getting fucked over doesn't mean that it was their decision to make. Why do they feel to be in charge of that? Why do they get to decide what is best for millions of other people?

Also, how come no one looked into him? Are you telling me that no one would have tried to find out who he was? He was Japanese who spoke no other language fluently, BUT Japanese for fuck's sake. How easy would it to have been to go back and find his family? Shit, how did no one else in the world not know about their school? Why didn't they team up with other people outside of Japan in order to have some sort of protection for themselves?

Why didn't they have trained fighters?! Why did he send his little brother all by himself rather than trying to do more investigating? Why didn't they work on a better intelligence network?

Why is this story so fucking stupid?!

>>136184588
Having the ability to heal and time travel would have been so helpful. Him not utilizing that almost seemed OOC for him. I was not convinced of his decision not to use that power to its full advantage.

I don't understand how anyone thought it was the best show of the season...of any season...ever. It looked nice. That was it.

Please help me understand.

Reading the synopsis, what was the price they had to pay for their powers?

Worse than mekaku.

>>136184466
>>136195222
Taking the powers away didn't seem like a big deal to me. The kids that had those powers would have lost them eventually, most would be none the wiser, and some of them would have endangered themselves and others if they had assumed those powers were there to stay.
It was a perfectly ethical decision to treat that syndrome like the chicken pox that it was.

>>136183839
Worst PA Works show after Canaan and Angel Beats. Though expected from Maeda shit.

Worst of it, its not just bad, its utterly forgettable.

>>136195526
Their powers were imperfect most of the time, and once they grew out of puberty they would lose them.

well, they are airing Hyouka! Euphonium this season.

But as you can see from it being badly animated and directed shit - they are stil very far from actual KyoAni.

Not to forget that KyoAni grew up from adapting Kadokawa and Kei shit - while PA Works is still at this stage.

Define terrible. It was a show by key, it will always have conveniences and coincidences with some supernatural explanation. If you've watched anything else by key you would've noticed how they were all similar in a way so some of us knew what to expect. I'm in no way calling this a masterpiece. The main problem of this show was the episode limit and partly shit writing which made the plot, structure and pacing suffer greatly, that's about it. It had a lot of other great moments which people seem to overlook. Notice how most of the edgelords in this thread are acting immature over the MC going through a depressed phase? I understand why people hate it but my god, this show gets more hate than actual trash shows like sao.

People consider Charlotte bad for the wasted potential and they are 100% right. Most of the shows of that season, either harem or moe, didn't disappoint as much as Charlotte did.
It's not a 4/10, but not it's certainly not more than a 6/10 show.

It's just Maeda being a pessimistic asshole.

Contrast Charlotte to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: in JoJo, while there are plenty of people who use their stands to hurt innocents, most of the good guys who survive end up living fulfilling lives working for the better good. Araki views supernatural abilities as tools that may be misused but are good things in the right hands, he's cautiously optimistic about them while Maeda is just full NOOO ALL POWERS ARE BAD HUMANS WILL DESTROY THE WORLD WITH THEM.

That's just your own opinion. I've watched dozens of shows last year and Charlotte was definitely no where near the worst, especially against the ones that were praised here. If you were THAT disappointed then it's probably your fault for having shit expectations.

SAO was just over-hyped and turned out to disappoint plenty of expectations. It wasn't good, but it wasn't absolute shit either—the fanbase on the other hand...

Even discounting the wasted potential, Charlotte doesn't need those things to be bad. It was bad by its own virtue, and had a terrible plot all around, with a pacing that barely made sense.
You can argue that it didn't have much space to work with at only 1 cour, but Charlotte isn't an adaptation, and didn't need to cover X amount of volumes in Y episodes, and thus the number of useless episodes that were included for the didn't need to be included, and could have been better used towards developing the plot.

It had plenty of pleasant scenes and interactions, but in the end it fell apart. If it had more episodes, maybe they'd have more time to flesh out the plot and characters, or maybe they would just squander it.

>>136200755
Alright, what's so great about her?

>>136200900
>Even discounting the wasted potential
I wish people would stop using this as an excuse. The entire show was built upon the promise (episode 12) ever since the announcement. It wasn't supposed to be about Yuu travelling or even have powerusers fight against scientists or whatever. Yes, it would've been nice but that was never their intention.

>had a terrible plot all around, with a pacing that barely made sense
Like I said above, it was building up to one point. There wasn't really a "plot", it was just random events that happened just so they can develop the mc. Had they more episodes like they were "supposed" to get, maybe they could've gotten a better plot which would've fixed those issues you stated but since they didn't have that luxury they just had to throw everything in. What useless episodes do you speak of? In the end what you said still doesn't explain why this show gets so much hate than other shows which were far worse.

It was pretty stupid.

Post more pizza loli!

>>136201242
You mention a "promise", like I'm supposed to know what you meant.
"That's not what it was supposed to be about" doesn't mean shit to a viewer. People come into a show, and build expectations—if the show completely disappoints those expectations, of course people are going to call it shit.

Charlotte was okay, but it went full asspull at the end.

But I disagree with people here, Charlotte was way better than Angel Beats. It wasn't even touching.

I think the root cause of all the show's problems was just a massive case of identity crisis. The latter half of the episodes had no goddamn idea what they wanted to be. It's like they had the premise "Highschoolers with superpowers", came up with 3 or 4 different possible plots, and some fucktard goes and says to throw all of them into a blender.

Someone post Nao being headpatted!

>>136201449
>People come into a show, and build expectations—if the show completely disappoints those expectations, of course people are going to call it shit.
Well there's your problem right there. You built your own expectations without knowing who made it and learning about it's supposed to be about so of course you're going to be disappointed. You have no one else to blame but yourself. The show even hinted dozens of times of what was coming but got mad because it didn't go the way they wanted it to. That's like me saying K-on! is shit because it they didn't end up killing each other in the end.

>>136201510
Like I said before, it had something to build upon towards the end. Just the structure and shit pacing made it harder to figure out what they were trying to do. Like Angel Beats, it had no real plot, it's just random events that lead to a twist in the end. You should've known this would happen given key's history.

People always bitch about adaptations having unexplained holes, but when it's pointed out that the source material explains it, the response is almost always "the adaptation should be able to stand on it own," or "we're talking about the adaptation; not the source".

A show can go ahead and throw in a twist to lead away from built up expectations, to surprise a viewer and such, but Charlotte simply didn't seem to know what it wanted to be—at least not from my perspective.

No, I don't. I expect people to read the fucking synopsis or at least look at the cover instead of watching a show without getting so much as a hint of what it's about. You should stop watching shows simply because someone tells you to.

Waste of time

>The entire show was built upon the promise (episode 12) ever since the announcement

What the fuck is this shit? So you tell me that they wasted a fuckton of episodes of highschoolers interacting with each other because they were eventually leading up to MC stealing powers?

This anon is right >>136201510
They had a huge identity crisis somewhere in the middle. Had they decided to follow just one path (i.e. highschoolers adapting to their powers/losing their powers OR MC stealing powers at the behest of his brother), then there wouldn't be any issues.

But of course, it's fucking Maeda, aka Mr. "let's put every possible plot thread we could come up with and come up with a meh conclusion", so I'm not at all surprised that Charlotte turned out to be bad.

I liked it

There was so much dust because it was dry. Bad anime leaves a layer of scurff on your screen

Are you special or something? There's a thing called "character development". Had they went straight to the point, you would be crying like a baby, what the hell is this school about, who are these people, why do these kids have abilities, why is mc willing to risk his life, how the hell does the world work etc.

>Had they decided to follow just one path (i.e. highschoolers adapting to their powers/losing their powers OR MC stealing powers at the behest of his brother), then there wouldn't be any issues.
I feel sorry for you if you actually think a one dimensional plot like that would be even remotely interesting, regardless of how bad the plot of Charlotte is right now.
