CHARLOTTE - A classic, but always amazing type of story made by Jun Maeda.

Honestly, in the first episodes of Charlotte, I was liking the way that the anime was going like a simple slice of life, but I felt that the anime could be better. But yes, Charlotte had attend my expectetions, and on the second half it was astonishing. Jun Maeda is a specialist in make animes with messages that touch the hearts of anyone, and this happen again here, but a little fast paced.

STORY - 9/10

It is a simple but interesting thing that guides the anime. Resuming, childs and teenagers that was living ... when an asteroid passed at the planet orbit gained some superpowers; this isn't well explained during the anime, but the way that this superpowers are used for the story is very good. Nao Tomori, one of the protagonists, creates a group to localize potential people with that superpowers, and she found Yuu Otosaka, a student who has a little sister that he loves.

I will not complete this review because I'm tired but watch that, and after see Clannad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JUN MAEDA: THE ANIME DRAMA MASTER

Clannad: After Story, a story about the simplest things in life.
First of all, AS is a direct continuation of Clannad, where in the end Tomoya and Nagisa become a couple of lovebirds. In AS, initially, the first happy moments between the two are shown, as they get to know more about each other and discover their virtues and weaknesses. Over the course of the anime, it is in the moments of tension when the anime's brilliance appears; because, they are nothing less than real life problems, and the anime does this masterfully, as I have never seen any other anime, series or film show.
The anime ... is spectacular in many aspects, but it is worth highlighting how much the soundtrack contributes to the impact moments that occur in the work. Jun Maeda, along with the music production team, did a spectacular job in this regard, which is already customary in Key's works (the company that made the Clannad visual novel) and appears in a beutifull way in After Story, especially in the middle end of the anime with the songs Snowfield, The Place where Wishes come True, Small Palms and of course, Dango Daikazoku!
And speaking of Dango Daikazoku, the spectacular character building that takes place in the first season continues in AS. It is here that Tomoya and Nagisa bond with the viewer, due to their respective endearing personalities, with Nagisa being strong in facing her illness and supporting Tomoya in the beginning of his life in the adult world, but with his graceful and cute side stuffed of dangos, and Tomoya, who needs no comment: it's thanks to his generosity and kindness that he gets his second chance, and this is the main point that the anime wants to show.
Clannad: After Story, shows that helping others without expecting anything in return, appreciating the simple moments in life, such as a family dinner, having fun with your friends at a school club or spending a little time with the person you love are the most important things that human beings should value, because when you do them, any problem, however complicated it may be, it can be faced.
That said, Clannad: After Story gets a well-deserved 10, because in addition to being very well produced, it has a beautiful and necessary message for current times: a message of hope.
