Topic	Kokoro's top 100 anime of the past five years.
KokoroAkechi 09/19/17 3:45:43 AM #84:	44. Charlotte https://myanimelist.net/anime/28999/Charlotte To be honest Charlotte is an anime that is a lot of missed potential. It does somethings so extraordinarily well that it was at one time in consideration for like anime of the year (as a spoiler it's not even the best show of the season its in). The anime some teenagers have special abilities, one of them is Yuu Otosaka who has the ability to take over someones body for 5 seconds (but during this time he himself can't do anything). Eventually his abuse of the power gets the attention of Nao, another teenager who runs a group who is in charge of making sure their powers don't get abused, but there are more motives to it than that. Charlotte is pretty much a show where normal reviews will be spoilerific so this will be relatively brief. The cast is varied and for the most part enjoyable. Each of the characters have their own flaws but I think a huge part of the show is the human aspect each character has. A lot of it is played up anime style, but within the comedy and drama there is a certain touching aspect to everything. Of course the ending was a big rush because you know not enough time, but I think it was the best they could do given the constraints. I think another factor that I like about the show is that not everything always works out nicely for the cast. Speaking of the cast itself, I'm going to spend a while talking about Nao Tomori. While the rest of the cast is good and all (like pizza sauce), the show seems to have put a great deal of focus on Nao. She basically has the type of brain power and problem solving skills as a Tensai but with much deeper characterization. She has some tsundere aspects to her. There's one scene where she explains her future goals. While somewhat unassuming it's one of my favorite scenes of the show. Truthfully she's the anchor for the show and honestly if you think about what happens to her you can't help but feel sorry for her. In terms of the story, it's interesting. Like it takes on more than it can accomplish in the short time it has but the message it's trying to get across is still there. There is the nagging issue that the anime probably needed maybe three times the episodes. Some would also argue that we didn't really need the introductory ones at the start. But I do think the early ones were needed overall. --- Kokoro's Anime Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaIA0gY11FQ_Zh6kLSam5OA Updated: July 27th, 2016. <cite>KokoroAkechi posted [p:886871777] in Kokoro's t...
