Charlotte Episode 1

Charlotte, a creation of P.A. Works and Aniplex, what can we expect?

Plot:

In an alternate world, a small percentage of children are able to manifest superpowers upon reaching puberty. Yuu Otosaka, a boy who awakens the ability to temporarily possess others, hopes to use his power to live an easy going high school life. However, he is caught red-handed by the mysterious Nao Tomori and is forced to transfer to Hoshinoumi Academy (星ノ海学園 Hoshinoumi Gakuen?, "Star Ocean Academy"), where he and the other student council members must help students who have trouble controlling their abilities.

Turns out, it has the humour just like in Angel Beats, the art is amazing and the music is amazing as well.

Here, he carefully plans so that he captures her attention.


So, here, we're introduced to the main character, Yu Otosaka, who has the power of possessing someone for five seconds. With this ability, he aces his scores by possessing the smart kids, and he fights people he hate and look at girl's ahem so on.





His attitude and smirk totally reminds me of Lelouch, like oh my god, they brothers or something?








Continuing!

After being discovered by Nao Tomori, she 'invites'  him over to her school, Hoshinoumi Academy, where she and her partner are part of the student council.

Well, 'invite' would be an understatement. I guess she immediately called his guardian and got their permission. I think their guardian is their uncle, considering the conversation between Ayu and Yu.
By the way, Ayu is his little sister who loves stars. Woots.

She can cook too! What a girl, am I right?

But hey, we're also introduced briefly about their family. Apparently, Yu hates their mother and considers Ayu as his only family member.  Sad.

So, we have more characters to introduce!


Nao Tomori, a silver-haired girl who has the power to hide herself in one's vision.

Jojiro Takajo, a guy who travels at a very fast speed until it look like he's teleporting. However, as Yu puts it, it's an 'incompete ability'. And! News flash, this ability doesn't let him land wherever he pleases so he crashed into anything! I'm sure all the hospital doctors and nurses know him by now.



Their personalities show a lot in the first episode, like Yu, even though he's so... 'power-crazy'? I'm not sure actually. Uh, anyways, we're also shown that when he ate pancakes, he was quite happy to find it so delicious just like a little child. He's also a family person, I guess, caring for his sister and whatnot.


Same goes to Tomori, who seems pretty serious and everything but revealed to be quite playful too. She was playing around with Ayu and it was like a sister scenario.
