Charlotte

Angel Beats! addpermalink

Both written by the famous Maeda Jun and have the same amazing production behind his works.

Both however could be better if longer, but are still good given their short allotted time slot.

Both will make you smile, laugh, and cry as are typical Maeda Jun's works

Aside from the opening sung by Lia, the animation by P.A.Works, the original concept by Key, the character design by Na-Ga, the soundtrack by ANANT-GARDE EYES, the director being Jun Maeda, the similar humor, the special abilities premise, and unusual-yet-not-unusual school setting-- I could go on-- Charlotte purely -feels- like Angel Beats! and vice versa, if that's any indication. Both are great to watch.

charlotte is basically a rip-off of angel beats except its not in heaven 
In charlotte and angel beats both there is (1) a spontaneous and charismatic main girl (2) a glasses guy who serves as the comic relief (3) a clueless main character in the beginning only in charlotte he's more lelouch-esque (4) a lead singer in a girls' band

Same original creator. Also characters' designs were made by the same person, the art style is practically identical. The music was composed by the same creators. The op & ed are performed by the same singers - Lia and Tada Aoi.
Both are about a group od teenagers who have something in common. The action takes place at school, and the MC is a new student.
Charlotte and Angel Beats share the same sense of humor. Also, Charlotte will most likely introduce a fictional singer/band similiar to GirlDeMo in Angel Beats! (Marina, the voice of Iwasawa from Angel Beats! performing an inserted song).

The plot is kinda similar and I'm not quite sure, but I think the author is the same person who made Angel beats 

report Recommended by Nikitichita

Mosty slice-of-life with a bit of supernatural thrown in, a good amount of comedy, and an action focused last half. While the backgrounds for the main characters may not be addressed during the first few episodes, there's actually a full episode dedicated to establishing Yu and Otonashi later on in their respective anime. Schools are the main settings for these stories, with a group of teenagers being the main focus. While Otonashi and Yu aren't similar at all in terms of initial personality, they have decent development throughout it that can feel about the same in terms of execution, and this is usually right after the episode that details their backstory/background. The endings can also be considered bittersweet. read more

Charlotte and Angel Beats! are very similar to each other. Once you have watched one of them, you need to watch the other. Tomori and Nakaruma both share their leadership roles.  Nakamura is the leader of the SSS and Tomori is the leader of the school council. Otanashi and Otosaka are naive, innocent characters, who are at first clueless of what they are doing, and pulled and dragged along by their fellow girl leaders. Memory loss... Retrograde amnesia, is what both Otanashi and Otosaka have. They overcome this by encountering certain things that trigger their memory to remembering the past which they have forgotten. It works for a sense of buildup and suspense.  read more

Charlotte and Angel Beats, both animes have a protagonist who joins a group charged with combating a conspiracy (AB is God and in Charlotte are the experiments). Where the leader is manipulative, one believes himself an idol and another is the senpai. Both series involve the fact that the characters acquire a supernatural aspect, be it powers (Charlotte) or be dead (Angel Beats). The series shows the multiple plans to fulfill its mission, where the majority happens in a comic way, to the point that the series does not need to be fun and shows a different background to show the dark past of the protagonist, and a radical change, when the enjoy being with your friends becomes the fear of losing them. read more

There are similar references and situations in both, and they generally have the same "feel" to it. They both have great music, which plays an important part to the plot at some parts. But although both of them have comedic moments and sometimes lowkey ridiculous gags, Charlotte is definitely more serious and maybe even a little bit "dark" towards the ends.

Charlotte is made by the same people who gave us Angel Beats! 
Both use similar vivid animation styles and just give off the same general feel you'll get while watching the other. It's hard to explain, but lets say despite the rather different stories, Charlotte is more or less a carbon copy of Angel Beats! with a new plot and new characters.

Bedsides just the fact that both series have been written by the same person, designed and animated by the same producers, what makes these series so similar?

First of all, they're both Great comedy series with deep substance. Both got just the right amount of humor that anyone is sure to enjoy.
And besides that, they're of the most exciting series ever. Both of some fast pacing and only you're in, it's like a rollercoaster. You can't stop watching once you start. There's many reference to AB! in Charlotte too.

While they're different in the theme and mood, they've got some deep hidden themes. While Angel Beats! focuses on the meaningfulness of life , Charlotte's hidden massage lies in the power of courage. If you can understand those, they're sure to become your most favorite series ever. 

What else do they share in common:
-Great and likeable characters
-Life struggles
-Meaningful songs and in-anime bands
-Great visuals and OST
-Fish Saito and Sky-High Saito! read more

The writing style of these two are very similar, mixing in good comedic moments, decent action, and slife of life genericisms,with dark elements that while dont perfectly blend; still compliment eachother. Add in a decent amuont of emotional tension from the previous episodes and all youre mising is a romantic subplot.

They have a similar feel to it. 

Angel Beats starts off sort of silly but with a paranormal twist to it. Even  thought it sounds like it could get serious, it mostly tries to keep a focus on the comedy side. Still it gets dark and sad at times, but it tries to balance them out.

Charlotte also has a similar start. There are mostly jokes and fun times at the start, but things get more serious as the story progresses. The difference is that once the seriousness starts, there aren't many comedic moments afterwards.

Still, both series are quiet entertaining to watch with their mix of supernatural and daily lifestyle combined. If you liked Angel Beats there is a chance you might like Charlotte and vice versa.  read more

I found Charlotte and Angel Beats! to be extremely similar. They're both original works by Jun Maeda, and are both by the studio PA Works, so it's no wonder why they turned out like that.

Everything except the premises, the basic plot lines, of these two shows are practically identical. Art, animation, characters, comedy, pacing, aesthetic, music, supernatural elements... going back to the characters, I'm pretty sure Charlotte's cast is basically a bunch of carbon copies of Angel Beats! characters minus a few people. 

Now, personally I hated both of these shows, so if you dislike one, you more than likely are going to dislike the other as well.
But if you like one, then you'll probably like the other as well. Probably. Although I'd say Charlotte's giant gaping plot holes and inconsistencies are less noticeable than Angel Beats!'s. 

Throughout my time watching Angel Beats!, I could not stop comparing it to Charlotte. They're too alike! read more

You like music? Good.

Angel beats is about a load of young people who were killed. For some reason they were tormented, and forced to live forever in a high school. In this, they set themselves a target for the biggest bullies who ever died. Bullying this young girl who doesn't communicate well with others, they force her to develop new ways to manipulate her body for defense.

In the anime, these stubborn children refuse to come to terms with their deaths and move on. It isn't until very late in the anime when they are forced to give up immortality that they actually move on. Up till that point, you are allowed to enjoy some of the most heart warming scenes ever put into an anime, as well as one of the best soundtracks.

Charlotte tells of a boy with powers who meets other adolescents with powers. In the end it resorts to time travel. These kids, with fantastic abilities, are hunted down and tested on like lab rats for being special. As a result, the main character and pals try to save the others.

The anime has a lot of good music in it, and has a few episodes that focus a lot on the band that you'll probably forget the name of after watching Angel Beats. Z something or the other.... Anyway the lead singer is blind. The anime uses impairments a fair bit as a way of getting you to feel for a characters situation. One of the side characters is mentally unstable, and only Z's music can calm him down. The power of music!

So if you like music with a side story of action, then these two anime are well worth watching. read more

Both of these animes have really sad things and great musics/songs, graphics and everything else that you can imagine! This anime make you feel really connected with every character of the anime, this is the same for Angel Beats and Berserk for example, it's impossible not to cry!

And in the top of all, they also play an music that's from the anime angel beats"

If you've watched Angel Beats I know that you are eager and angry wishing and wanting and waiting for the next season, and this anime will make you feel the all these feelings, in the same way, for the exactly same reason!
This anime can and will make you feel sad!

Also like in Angel Beats, this anime has a focus, actually is a lot of focus in the making of another japanese band, totally original and unique like the band in the anime Angel Beats called Girls dead monster, but in this anime the band name zhiend, that is also really good, I'm not even sure if I can say that both bands are in the same level or not, I really need to stop everything to hear again the musics of the band zhiend to know it. read more

These are quite different shows tonally, so the enjoyment of both shows would mainly rely on one's enjoyment of watching high school kids using super powers. These shows both are set in a high school full of super-powered teens. It's always entertaining to see the different techniques characters use to apply their powers to a situation, and how two or more characters' powers interact with each other. With these powers also comes the theme of the pressure these characters face by being thrust into difficult situations that kids their age in our universe would never have to deal with.

Well, if you know what both of these shows are about, it's pretty obvious what these shows have in common. I'm far from the first person to make this recommendation. But, while the shows are very different in tone, and liking one is not a very good guarantee you will like the other, the simple plot point that these shows share is enough to justify this recommendation. In both shows some people have superpowers. Charlotte is not a superhero anime, but the characters do have superpowers. Beware though, Charlotte is a bit darker than Hero Aca. Wait... no that show can be very dark sometimes. So actually they're similar even in that regard. read more

A preternatural experience, both Charlotte and Bunny Girl Senpai both follow MCs who are caught up in having to aid other students dealing with social issues in a supernatural sense.

Charlotte uses superpowers as a base, where the student council has students with superpowers join Hoshinoumi Academy as well as helping with their social problems. Bunny Girl Senpai doesn't feature superpowers, rather, students with Puberty Syndrome are helped by Sakuta and sometimes Mai.

Both are good supernatural anime where Charlotte has a slower romance than Bunny Girl Senpai.

Charlotte starts off like most Key series.  A lighthearted beginning with a forced tragic ending. It even has an innocent naive girl (Yusa) common in all Key series.  You will see similar themes in Madoka Magica: innocent girls with seemingly funny stories in the beginning but becomes tragic in the end.  However the folks at Key seemed to copy the plot of Madoka into this show.  I won't reveal any spoilers but involves having the main character saving those who face potential anguish.  Essentially taking in the burdens of others for themselves becoming a Christ-like figure.

Many have complaints about the character development and overall plot of Guilty Crown, so I believe Charlotte is an anime that takes the same formulas but works them together much better. Although Charlotte's protagonist, Yuu Otosaka, is fairly OP, he has a few more checks and balances than Guilty Crown's Ouma Shu. Despite not being entirely scientifically accurate, the backstory of Charlotte is also more plausible and flushed out than Guilty Crown. The leading lady Nao Tomori is also far less submissive and annoying than Yuzuriha Inori. Even so, the character development in Charlotte is not any more spectacular than Guilty Crown, but it's still tolerable. The animation is just as good, though not as sci-fi or shiny as Guilty Crown, but the fight scenes are also well-done, nonetheless. read more

Not only do Yuu and Seiya look pretty much identical, and have the same seiyu, but they're both very intelligent yet egotistical teenagers who end up getting strong-armed by a girl into helping a group of people, and they ultimately yet reluctantly accept, though overtime they grow to genuinely care about the people they're trying to help. Nao and Isuzu also have somewhat similar appearances, though personality-wise, they're very different.

While "Charlotte" doesn't have any particular advantages over "Amagi", I will say that I preferred it overall, though both are at least watchable.

Charlotte and Amagi Brilliant Park have the same kind of vibe about it, and both animes have some connection with a form of supernatural power about each other.

MC starts off being dragged into something he'll never get out of, next thing you know he drags himself deeper because of another characters statements.

You are just some random guy, a little more special than others but random for the most part, and you find yourself in a life-changing situation because some interesting waifu comes and swipes you into a society beyond your imagination. Well, there's no escape, so you might as well just stay there and use your powers in the way that you've been commanded to.
But hey, lemme tell you that life's not actually that bad with the weirdos.

Our protagonists join a group like no other, getting boring hands-on experiences and memories like no other. Whether it is using your powers to help out other weirdos, or trying to explode your theme park, there are only fun and wholesome relationships to be made here.

It may not be real life but the viewing experience is very fun. So join in. read more

The gifted. Bungo Stray Dogs and Charlotte are both anime in which a seemingly powerful, but weak MC uses their power for the wrong meaning, though in joining their associated location with others who also have powers similar to their own.

BSD presents Atsushi in a situation where he must join the Armed Detective Agency so he can use his powers for the good of others. Charlotte is the same with Yuu going to Hoshinoumi Academy after abusing his powers.

Both are good comedy anime, with BSD being a mystery anime about detectives and gang fights, and Charlotte being a drama with slow romance in a school place.  read more

Well, the main similarity between these two shows is: "characters having supernatural abilities and trying to stop the ones who use their abilities for evil." If you liked that thing from Charlotte, you will probably enjoy watching Bungou Stray Dogs.

The diffrences between them:

Charlotte has 13 episodes / Bungou Stray Dogs has 3 seasons
The characters are written better in Bungou Stray Dogs.

The Day I Became A God and Charlotte are two anime created by Jun Maeda of Key (a company known for Kanon, Air, Clannad, and Little Busters) fame and produced by P.A. Works. The visual presentation in both shows feel similar to each other, which is probably because they are both directed by Yoshiyuki Asai. Both anime are about a boy with dark hair meeting a girl who has a somewhat smug personality and is voice acted by Ayane Sakura. A character from Charlotte even makes a cameo in one episode.

Both main protagonists of each show had dark and sad pasts and they're trying to overcome them by stopping those who abuse their special abilities and saving those who posses similar powers also from normals and their fellow people.
They also had bad encounters and experiences with scientists who want to experiment their abilities.
Anyway, what makes both of these shows different from each other is that in Charlotte their abilities are temporary until they reach a certain part of their life when it is no longer there while on the other hand, the potential Minimum Holders in Hamatora have to have their abilities tested or have their triggers identifies to be recognize with such position or title.  read more

report Recommended by iwsifakismag

There are people with supernatural abilities, but that's not the reason I think you'd like Charlotte if you liked Hamatora and vice versa. Both series start as light-hearted comedies - Hamatora as a random action-comedy and Charlotte as an episodic slice-of-life comedy where the characters help out other people with powers, not entirely unlike Natsume Yuujinchou. But eventually, both animes turn pretty dark, while still maintaining comedy elements. Overall, Hamatora is longer and more focused on action and excitement than Charlotte, which has more drama in it. If you like captivating and emotional stories that still crack a few jokes throughout the dark plotlines, these two (or three, because Hamatora consists of two seasons and the second season is what really made it as great as it is) deserve a place on your list. read more

U won't regret it.

The common plot key:
At the start of both, they create a bubble-like comfy environment (or maybe a comfort zone)   {*}  within which all the happenings occur. Meaning that though U will be intrigued, but you'll know in the corner of ur mind that the mc & the side characters won't be in any life danger... Like remember how the group was solving simple cases at the start in Charl? Likewise, here u'll see a group, which more or less acts like each other's leash from going astray and solve some basic conspiracies and stuff, not really important but needed for character backgrounds. 
But, at the near end, U will see that very bubble burst open, revealing and leading to a deeper plot which will collude with what you expected earlier from the show, giving a sense of character insecurity and unpredictability...

And, both mc's show development in their personalities as the series progresses.

Also to be noted, both feature selective people with sudden power rising and a city/region/world in turmoil because of those existences.

Me personally, I find them alike since they give me a longing that there were 20+ more eps in between the start and ending plot, like they would continue what they were always doing as a side-job kinda, meeting new people, new short side-stories, etc. like just continue and not end...  {*}

They have this supernatural ability to read minds but the difference is that Yu's ability is to mind control people while haruka is to read minds without her even knowing

Nerawareta Gakuen addpermalink

If you have a desire for more special ability children in high school.  Nerawareta is the weaker link in my own personal opinion.  Both of these can be frustrating for some people who dislike too much Drama but well worth the watch regardless.

Punch Line addpermalink

Both start out as comedies with slight supernatural elements, but turn into much more epic sci-fi stories with major twists.

Mawaru Penguindrum addpermalink

Both Charlotte and Mawaru Penguindrum involve teenagers who are somewhat special and get caught up in a lot of supernatural stuff. They center on orphaned brothers who go to great lengths to protect their younger sisters, with the younger sisters being cute and innocent as well as the caretakers of the household. While Mawaru Penguindrum is much more surreal and utilizes a lot of symbolism, Charlotte is shorter and more direct with its premise. However, both anime gave me a similar emotional feeling and if you watch both, you'll definitely see a lot more thematic similarity that I won't go into detail with because of spoilers. read more

86 Part 2 addpermalink

Both shows' main selling points are their focus on painful, powerful emotional impact that progresses through the shows.
Both shows have impressive, consistent production quality throughout.
Both shows have drama and action.
Both shows have one critical failure area that stops the show from being as great as it is capable of being. In the case of Charlotte, the failure is pacing. In the case of 86, the failure is extremely unrealistic, forced plot developments in order to make the show "happier")

Bungou Stray Dogs 2nd Season addpermalink

Charlotte and Bungou Stray Dogs (BSD) 2nd Season are both about people with supernatural abilities trying to find justice. Although both have comic relief, they both weave in darker elements involving the main characters' backgrounds. Also the main characters of Charlotte share a bit of Dazai's OP-ness. However, Charlotte has quite a bit of romance, unlike BSD, but overall I put them both in high regard.

Zetsuen no Tempest addpermalink

These 2 worlds have an aspect of magic, even though Charlotte has more uses of the powers in their universe, Zetsuen also implements magic really well. 
The MC's are both men who have lost someone before (a bit different in Charlotte's case though) Zetsuen has a completely different story and the way magic / powers are used but I really enjoyed it.
It does get confusing however it is worth the watch (both feature romance to some degree but I feel that Zetsuen has more romance in it)
I'd also like to recommend to watch Zetsuen as it really makes you think, then the typical supernatural / magical anime. Though you can guess plot lines as it can be quite generic at some points however I feel the story has a good strong plot to it that isn't so similar to Charlotte however it does give off some nostalgia in some areas such as art and visuals. read more

Flip Flappers addpermalink

I planned on getting into details, but it turned out to be a gigantic spoiler, so instead I will just put this simple. At first glance these shows have little in common, but after you finish Flip Flapppers you realize, that in fact the theme of the shows was quite similar.

Concrete Revolutio: Choujin Gensou addpermalink

Pritty much anime any with Supernatural is bound to have something like superpowers. So this is an anime that tells an interesting story of a boy with superpowers meeting other character with superpowers. It starts off slow and funny, however after the mid part it begins to really show it's strong points. The opening is AMAZING IMO. The characters are actually interesting and the sittuations they run in-to are kind of average but the way they handle them is diffrent from the traditional heroes way. If you have the paitence to watch it till the end you will not regret it ! It starts of slow and funny but ends really strong and hard ! I gave it a 9/10 because it made me feel happy as much as it made me sad and i never EVER skipper the openning ! IMO this is a hidden gem that needs to get more popular ! read more
