Here I am, finished another anime, writing a review. Anime named Charlotte was a big surprise for me. Why ? Well, because I didn't had so much hope when I started the 1 episode. Now, this is full episode review. Let's start, shall we ?

--Story--

Now, story... First, story was so boring at first. Why ? It was a cliché story. Main Character gets special powers unknowingly. Then meets others who has special powers... But, after some episodes, this anime did a "u" turn. It wasn't a cliché story. It gets interesting later on. I don't want to talk about story much, so you people can ... watch it if you want.

--Art--

Now, art wasn't that good. And wasn't bad either. It's in the middle. I saw awful art and awesome art. It isn't that bad, so you can watch it not saying things like "What's wrong with that ?" , "Whoa, look at that awful art!" :)

--Sound--

Some people saying things like "Charlotte opening is the best of this season!" No, man, no. It's good but isn't that good. Ending is good though. Now, if we are going to talk about soundtrack, soundtrack has good and bad music. Well, you can get what I say if you watched anime already.

--Character--

Now, let's start by Yu Otosaka. This guy! In episode 1, made me shout "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!" well, of course it wasn't in English. Anyways, you get what I mean. That character in episode 1 is soo hard to bear with. I hate people like that! Well, he changes after some episodes, don't drop it. Tomori was the best character of the anime. She made me laugh a lot along with Joujirou. Yusarin is a good character, but simple. Everyone in this anime is simple. Just main characters is unique. No, they aren't that unique either. Characters in this anime is bad guys, deal with it.

--Enjoyment--

Enjoyed all episodes, just hated episode 1 because of Yu Otosaka. Not much to talk about it.

--Overall--

Charlotte is a very good anime, but it isn't "masterpiece" And not "must watch" . Well, maybe for you it's a must watch, but for me it isn't. It's a good anime for some time killing, but nothing more.

Yup, here I am, hating that review a anime that everyone reviewed already. It's really late for this review, because I'm writing this review on Summer 2015 anime season. First, let's talk about what I waited for, what I find. The most I waited for was Fate/Stay Night and Denpa Kyoushi for Spring 2015. Plastic Memories was... in my 5th, 6th maybe ? Anyway, I didn't expected too much. I didn't even looked at it's categories, just looked at Isla, and said "I'm going to watch this, don't know why... And boy don't look bad, story is good..." Well, when I first watched first episode, ... it was already decided that it was going to end sad. Said myself that "Brace Yourself, feels are coming!" You can see as well. And... well, you watch the anime and see. Story contains some spoilers from episode 1. Not much, only a few, really few.

--Story--

Well, I can clearly say that this drama series can opposite even Angel Beats. Yup. I cried those two the most. Sorry, the anime that I cried most is Ano Hana. Anyways, story is good and goes well without boring the audience. Just for you guys know, story would have ended episode 10, but they just remembered that "Oh NO! We have 3 episodes more!" and it's starting to bore. Because of this, I finished this anime yesterday. Just hang tight and watch it until end. But again, "Brace Yourself, feels are coming!"...

--Art--

It wasn't nice. I can watch 2000 anime without saying that "What's with this art ?". But this art is ? Interesting. Hair is flashing in the middle, it's white. Okay, I don't care. No problem with Isla, her hair is good, her face is well drawn... But what's with that supporting characters ? It's so... so... I can't say it with words, go and watch.

--Sound--

It was reaaaly good. Only problem with it, when happy moments, it's really bad. No good musics for happy moments huh ? But when it comes with sad moments, it's awesome, when you don't wanna cry, music says that "You will cry!"

--Character--

Tsukasa is a boy, who does have a background, or not, we don't know, and who he is, we don't know, what he does, we don't know, what was he doing, we don't know... LOL. Character development is really bad, right ? Only character who has background is Michiru... Yeah. Only character with background is Michiru. No flashbacks on Main characters or supporting characters. Really, what is this?! In first episode, a guy says that "You will work here, you can't hasitate bla bla" I don't remember that well, and when you come to final epsiode, waiting for it's explanation, it doesn't says a thing about it! Why is that Tsukasa must work there ?! You can't have a bond with characters because of this. Agh...

--Enjoyment--

Only first 10 episode I watch was enjoyable, other 2 is boring, final is... go watch it, i don't care.

--Overall--

Plastic Memories is a good drama anime, it's awesome, but it lacks of character development. I tried my best to write it without spoilers, I really want to share with you that final episode is different from the other 12 episodes. Final episode is doing what is other 12 episodes need to do. Or it was for me. When I listen Plastic Memories ending, I feel that I created a bond with characters in final episode, and I developed empathy with Tsukasa while I don't want that. After watching the final episode, in first 5 minutes, you will know that you are going to cry. It's obvious. Well, enough with spoilers, Plastic Memories is a good drama anime. Not must watch, but maybe you want to watch it. Goodbye.

It was awesome. Seriously. That ending... It maked me cry when Sousei no Aquarion OP started playing...

Anyways, it was an ONA of course, so you guys shouldn't expect too much. Story was bad. It was really bad. I watched non-subbed 5 minute ago. If you guys watched Sousei no Aquarion nearly 1.5 years ago, like me, it makes you shout at Apollo's appearence is shown.

Story
--------------------
It was boring. I don't talk about this much, because I don't wanna give you spoilers.

Art
-------------------
... It was the same as Aquarion Evol. If you liked that art, there is no problem.

Sound
-------------------
Awesome ! Like the other Aquarion TV series, sound was really good. (Sousei no Aquarion, Aquarion Evol) Especially when ONA is ended, there is a black screen, where is cast is shown, in background, playing Sousei no Aquarion opening playing...

Enjoyment
-----------------
You just enjoy when your favourite character is talking :D
