Pretty good opening
Poor Nao and her brother =(
What happened to him in the lab kind of has a Maximum Ride feel to it (that's a book series)
So they didn't bother bringing that guy to their school huh...I don't see how his ability would be useful anyways, unless he could see hidden objects under people's clothes or something.
I wonder if Ayumi has a special ability, and if she does I wonder what it is

I'm liking Nao's character. Probably the least obnoxious character in the show.

Really? Did we watch the same episode? She is one of the most, just look at her attitude.

Huh, and why? She is determined, competent and has a good reason to do what she does, unlike all the other chars we've seen so far. MC has been introduced as an egoistic asshole, his sister is mostly annoying and the glasses guy causes more collateral damage on average than he does good, but what would you hate Nao for?

I liked the first episode better but this episode was good too. There was less focus on Yu but we got to know a bit more about the other characters. I like Nao but her personality is a bit strange. I can't wrap my head around it yet but maybe I'll figure out exactly what she's like after watching a few more episodes. I'm always fond of the stranger characters though so it's not a problem for me.
The tragic back-story is quite something but some parts are a bit confusing. Takajo chased Yu across town in the first episode so he's obviously not trying to hide his powers. The whole matter with the scientists needs some more explanation. Hopefully we'll get to know more in the future.
We didn't get to see Yu being a bastard but he was already making plans when he introduced himself to his new class... until he saw Nao and Takajo. He's not a nice guy just yet but honestly, what can he really do now? He was using his powers to cheat on tests; he can't do that now. He was targeting Yumi. He can't do that now either and he hasn't found a girl he wants to target. So he's just going along with the flow for the time being. And it was nice to see him worrying about his sister ending up like Tomori. I doubt we'll be seeing him behave like a bad guy after that though... That's too bad but I'll take it. The show's still pretty enjoyable.
Looking forward to the next episode... whose preview I can't find. Where's the episode 3 preview? Can someone please tell me?

Lia! Not the greatest OP, but at last it's not Lisa. Key finally told her to f off. After two episodes, Nao is just diminishing as a character for me. Just this one episode, you can see all the Key tropes being pulled out again. Jun must got a guitar fetish, seriously.

So there is a reason why Nao was being annoying and forces someone not to abuse their imperfect power, she gets my respect for that.
Hope Ayumi has special power too...
....and they better explains what Charlotte is, I thought it was Nao's name

Sorry, but I am still not impressed by this. The over-the-top comedy felt so out of place, especially the "bleeding on the head" comedy. It was very out of place & made the anime looks inconsistent. I mean, Joujirou should've had some treatment with his head(a bandage or something). But nope, he's just fine after that bleeding scene.

And I really do not understand why the school do not at least punish Joujirou for what he's been doing at the cafetaria. I mean, Joujirou just said he often uses his power to buy sandwiches & look what he caused after he bought those sandwiches in this episode. Students, tables, chairs flying everywhere. Glass shards probably hurting the students. With that level of destruction, I would not be surprised if someone got/will be killed. And from the cashier's expression, it seems Joujirou has done it many times & she tolerates it? From that, we can conclude that there's no action taken for what he's been doing.

Oh, yeah. There's one thing that I found funny. The part where we were shown Nao's huge writing on the wall that says "I'm Out!!" with red paint. That's just ridiculous. They really want to add shock value in this anime.

What I can think about first was "Oh look! The MC didn't sit right next to the window!"

The MC turns to good. He should be. Not even Lelouch was an asshole right off the bat.

I feel bad for Nao, getting sold out by her own mother. Her mother saying better financially means that she SELLS them. Damn... I can't believe how tragic it is. Nao is too cute~


I'm loving the glasses guy. He's funny as hell.

Annnd droped.

This turned into typical Key copy pasta.
The MC is devolving into goodie two shoes by exploring his FEEEELINGS and being AMAAAAAZED at all those NIIIICE people.
We already started KEY's trademark sobstory backstories but its way too hectic to "feel" anything.
We got some mystery stuff and scifi stuff but it all feels like an afterthought to otaku pandering.
We also got some out of place angel-beatsy "comedy"
The rest of episode filled with typical KEY dirty otaku bait

This really does feel like Angel Beats 2 and nope nope nope I am not sitting down for such a trainwreck again.

2/5 and bye.

on other issue: wow someone created a account just to spam this thread and qoute a bashing drop reply .....i guess myanimelist doesnt care about its accounts nowadays ehhhh.......trolls/idiocy more incoming on other notes: i guess this neccesary build episode for nao[due her mystery personality like Kanade[her mostly near end episode of the anime[ but this one...fast is good to have but more feels to come

i would rate 4/5

OP is catchy to watch due doing cute things on it while ED smoothing closure for the anime

You're being a bit too serious though. They are normal comedic scenes in anime, and him having no bandages etc is not a problem in itself even if the comedy is not funny.

Why is "no bandages" thing is not a problem? That's inconsistency in the narrative.

Good, but still didn't impress me. For now I don't have any AB! feelings from this.

Teleportation? More like time stoping.
Shirou meeting Iroha. Also know as some Archer guy and Nao.
And drama. I hope that this will have some influence in later plot.

Just a guess but I think it's because they don't think his ability is of any use for them. Nao also mentioned that his abilities will be gone once he's past his adolescent stage.

- Emiya Shiro was punished?
- Emiya Shiro was deliver to teachers responsible to receive a punishment for his actions?
- Emiya shiro was forced to enter a school and be part of a student council?

Wait are you trying to talk about Udoh the archery guy? Then,

-He only tried to harm Nao, and if Nao is fine with it then she's fine with it. Unlike Yuu who deliberately tries to kill a guy in an accident.
-Did Yuu received punishment after he tried to kill a guy? Other than Nao who is irritated by him trying to murder a guy, he was not punished by a teacher.
-Their student council main purpose was to get these people to school. I don't see why he's not forced to enter the school. He's not in the student council because his power is not useful nor important. What do you need a lingerie weirdo for?

They only do that if the subject is dangerous and/or he could be useful to the student council. If that isn't the case, they just tell him "never use your power again, or else you'll be used as a test subject".

I agreed with this. Too many people taking that eye glasses guy too seriously. If it was on a serious context, he would be bandaged by now. He don't even have healing powers, yet he's fine in the class scene. It's a comedic scene people, stop taking it seriously. No people is fine with their blood sprouting out of their heads and still eat sandwich normally.

But the other anime shows that have comedy in it does not make the comedy the cause of inconsistency. For example, Working.

Seriously? You're taking seriously a comedic scene? A not important scene to a character development whatsoever scene? Other anime that do not use comedy as their main aspect have those stupid people who just gets away with it and their idiocy or acts was never brought up again.

Ex. Luffy's constant idiocy on drowning and touching sea stone. Sanji's nosebleed, that could've ACTUALLY killed. And other stupidity acts to make a comedic scene.

Some people took a supposed to be comedic scene too seriously.

Or do I have to take seriously of whatever this Lelouch friend's does?

1) He has yet to hurt anyone but himself. Yes, he could hurt others, but perhaps he knows the consequences of using his power better than we do, and the anime doesn't show anyone being seriously hurt by his ability.
2) He explicitly says that he used it in the camera's blind spot, and since Charlotte has been consistent in expressing the need for proof of the superpowers to be on camera since episode 1, we can assume that normal people like the cashier have just gotten used to all this daily supernatural shit and that the students only get punished by whoever is in charge of checking the cameras' footage.
Edit: 3) the school needs him because he's part of the student council, so they may be more tolerant with him.

I do not take comedic scenes seriously. I never said that. What I want is consistency. I am sorry, but it seems that you do not understand what I am saying. Do you understand what consistency in narrative is?

Exactly. Just like I said, that kind of stupid/inconsistent comedy happened in a comedy centric & mainstream shounen anime. The examples that you have given are from mainstream shounen anime.

Seriously? You're taking seriously a comedic scene? A not important scene to a character development whatsoever scene? Other anime that do not use comedy as their main aspect have those stupid people who just gets away with it and their idiocy or acts was never brought up again.

Ex. Luffy's constant idiocy on drowning and touching sea stone. Sanji's nosebleed, that could've ACTUALLY killed. And other stupidity acts to make a comedic scene.

Some people took a supposed to be comedic scene too seriously.

I do not take comedic scenes seriously. I never said that. What I want is consistency. I am sorry, but it seems that you do not understand what I am saying. Do you understand what consistency in narrative is?

Exactly. Just like I said, that kind of stupid/inconsistent comedy happened in a comedy centric & mainstream shounen anime. The examples that you have given are from mainstream shounen anime.


Lots of people loves Code Geass. Even with its inconsistency. Please tell me how this swimsuit scene consistent at all to the plot line?



If you wanna say that's because Code Geass is mainstream, then sooner or later Charlotte could be mainstream.

Or this crazy girl

I thought this would be something different. I thought wrong, it's another run-of-the-mill show.

1) He has yet to hurt anyone but himself. Yes, he could hurt others, but perhaps he knows the consequences of using his power better than we do, and the anime doesn't show anyone being seriously hurt by his ability.
2) He explicitly says that he used it in the camera's blind spot, and since Charlotte has been consistent in expressing the need for proof of the superpowers to be on camera since episode 1, we can assume that normal people like the cashier have just gotten used to all this daily supernatural shit and that the students only get punished by whoever is in charge of checking the cameras' footage.

1) Yes, I know, but don't you think that's kind of inconsistent? Considering how Nao used her power for violence one time & the students just hate/avoid her. On the other hand, Joujirou has done that many times yet everyone seems fine by it & the school have not done anything about it?

2. Camera's blind spot? That large? Even as far as the place where tables & chairs(a.k.a the main spot of cafetaria) is the blind spot?

How in any way that those 2 scenes are important enough to the story line? The story about terrorism and freedom?

So please tell me how does the inconsistency of Joujirou is important so that you need to think about this.

Like I said, "And I really do not understand why the school do not at least punish Joujirou for what he's been doing at the cafetaria. I mean, Joujirou just said he often uses his power to buy sandwiches &amp; look what he caused after he bought those sandwiches in this episode. Students, tables, chairs flying everywhere. Glass shards probably hurting the students. With that level of destruction, I would not be surprised if someone got/will be killed. And from the cashier's expression, it seems Joujirou has done it many times &amp; she tolerates it? From that, we can conclude that there's no action taken for what he's been doing."

1) The explaination of why Nao is alone is so stupid that my headcanon has already overwritten it with "Nao fakes every positive emotion she expresses, she's just putting up a strong front, so she's creepy". I doubt that the writer thought of this, but I hope that Joujirou was just trying to avoid telling Yuu that everyone in class already realized that, in reality, she's just a really sad and gloomy person.
Also, Joujirou hasn't hurt ANYONE yet, except himself. He's also just as lonely as Nao (or at least it seems like it's the case)
2) Deal with it XD, we could try and nitpick through every scene to find small stuff like this, but I don't think it's beneficial to the viewing experience.

I don't know if you've seen it, but I've added a 3) that says: he's part of the student council, the school needs him, so they might be more forgiving with him.
