Synopsis

If not for his ability to take over people's mind and body, Yuu Otosaka would be an ordinary high school student. Though it only lasts for five seconds at a time, Yuu's mysterious power allowed him to cheat his way to the top of his class and enter a prestigious high school, where he continues his dishonest acts.

His shenanigans are eventually stopped by Nao Tomori—the headstrong student council president from Hoshinoumi Academy—who sees through his deceit. Through coercion, Nao convinces Yuu to transfer to Hoshinoumi and join the student council. Hoshinoumi Academy is secretly an institution created for adolescents who possess supernatural abilities—with the student council serving as a means of locating those who abuse their powers.

With Yuu begrudgingly assisting in council affairs, the group sets out to find and protect new ability users from harm. However, as they further investigate the abilities, their findings entangle them in far more complicated matters than they could ever imagine.

The first thing that comes to mind about Charlotte is the main character, Otosaka. Otosaka, unlike shounen protagonists, is self interested. In the "superpowers" genre, the main character is usually more than ready to sacrifice even his own life to save others. Of course, the reason for this is that the "hero" must help others and thus, must be willing to make sacrifices. This is not the case with Otosaka. He won't jump into the line of fire to save someone. He might resolve himself, but also hesitate or chicken out completely. The protagonist is flawed and sometimes even an asshole, but is intentionally made ...

Mixed Feelings
Charlotte. A premise that seemed promising, but ultimately ended up being cliché and meaningless. Maybe it's one of those anime that had great potential, but was let down by poor animation and simplistic characters. You couldn't expect much from it, so it wasn't hard to expect it to be a bad anime. It's simply a generic, average anime with at least a decent soundtrack, but that doesn't save it from being generic. Only watch this anime if you're bored. And stop being swayed by what others say, just because it has some good scenes doesn't make it a good anime. Clearly, that's just my opinion, ...

This anime begins with one of the laziest plot devices that can make any story to play out however the author feels like it at any moment. Whether it’s Code Geass or Attack on Titan, the moment mind control comes into play nobody has free will. They stop being characters and become puppets that behave however the plot wants them to behave. The author is the first who realized it and stopped trying to flesh them out. That is why the characters are all 1-dimensional archetypes, defined by a single gimmick which they repeat in an identical manner in every episode.

The premise is about the ...
