Charlotte on MAL


Update December 30
Dengeki G's February 2015 issue announced further details about the upcoming Key x P.A.Works anime. The story will focus on four characters in the student council, one of which is a member of one of two bands in the series. The songs sung by the bands will be rock, and the vocalists will be female. Unlike Angel Beats!, the characters' seiyuu will sing for their characters. Jun Maeda will produce all OP, ED, and insert songs for the series (composition and lyrics). The story be somewhat similar to Angel Beats!, but will focus more on each character. The first half the series will be calm, and then it will progress with vigor.

Two characters were also revealed: Yuu Otosaka, who looks like an A student but is not good at studying; and, Nao Tomori, the student council president who is very firm and studious, but has behavior problems.

Update January 29
The March issue of Dengeki G's magazine revealed more character information. It seems like the characters have superpowers, but they are not used for battle.

Yuu Otosaka: For five seconds, he can control any body. He uses his power to cheat via honor students.

Nao Tomori: She can disappear, though it is limited to certain people.

Joujirou Takashou: He can instantly move from one place to another, but cannot stop in the middle of the move.

Yusa Nishimori: She can possess only her sister, Misa, to perform spiritualism.

Four of them are on the student council. Their special powers are activated only when "certain boys and girls reach adolescence." The school "Hoshi no Umi Gakuen" is a special school for understanding special powers. The student council uses their special powers to take care of problems caused by other students with special powers. Takajou is almost the same as Takamatsu from Angel Beats!. Saitou, Key's fooling-around character, also appears in Charlotte.

I was at the press conference, what shocked me the most is how tired seemed Jun Maeda. I honestly thought he would collapse on the stage at one point.

Otherwise, great news, I'm really looking forward to this new anime.

No. It's an anime original project by P.A. Works with scripts to be done by Jun Maeda. The series will be original.

We haven't got an awful lot to go on at this point, but I'm still very hyped for this. Liking the look of the visual we have so far, but here's hoping we get a PV and some kind of synopsis soon to figure out exactly what this is going to be.

That'd have been easier said than done. Quite sure a Rewrite adaptation could never justify the VN given how it's structured and how long it is.

Well, since it's PA Works, we know that it'll at least "look good". But then there's the 50% chance that it blows complete donkey dick ala Glasslip and Red Data Girl.

Don't know if you mean originals but still Uchouten Kazoku says otherwise.

Not sure about this yet. I haven't seen that many Key shows so I can't really say anything and P.A Works originals are so-so.

I got a bad feeling about this, PA works has made terrible anime as of late and Key gave Little Busters to JC Staff. I'm expecting a disasterpiece.

Ugh P.A works :|, i really wished a competent studio got there hands on this. Only thing i liked from them was recently was nagi no asukara and that was for the moment, i cant even remember the name of at least 1 person from that anime. Well at least it'll be pretty.

Which reminds i really need to start Clannad this year.

Waiting on more info to decide if I'm interested or not. I love P.A. Works, so that' s a plus, but if it's harem I probably won't. But then again I loved Kanon and then there was also Angel Beats so yeah, waiting!

Really? P.A. Works did Angel Beats!, Nagi no Asukara, Another, Hanasaku Iroha. All of those anime were wonderful.

Going back to the original hype! Jun Maeda! Cannot wait!

I don't think the majority would consider Another wonderful... it's more like an unintentional comedy with hilarious death scenes :s

I see space. And since it's Key, it's probably going to be some destiny stuff or something. Why is space almost always taken so lightly in anime. Well, Key lover here, so hoping for the best. :)

No, this is an original anime story, like Angel Beats was. I suspect that it is actually a continuation of the Angel Beats story, as in the same group of souls from Angel Beats moving on to their next lives together, or trying to be together..

Please let it not be another Angel Beats. That anime had loads of potential but it was cut short and that dampened my liking for it. And hopefully this has a mixed cast(pretty please!)
