Charlotte - Pre-Release Discussion & Speculation

Hey everybody! Just an hour and a half to go until Charlotte broadcast (3 hours for worldwide simulcast). As such, you may have noticed that this topic does say pre-release discussion. What happens after this? Well, I’d like to keep this as an archive of what we, as members, thought about Charlotte before it was released. After Charlotte is officially released, I would recommend that all discussion be put into the specific topics, namely:

  • Per episode discussion will go into the specific episode topic, which will happen as we make them
  • Character discussion should go into the specific character discussion topic, which I have already made for most of the main cast
  • All uncategorized Charlotte discussion should go into the Charlotte General Discussion topic. This could include thoughts about the Charlotte universe, the setting, and other related discussion.

As we go into a close, I’d like to leave this topic for everyone to answer one final question: What are you most looking forward to see in Charlotte, before it airs? We’ll be closing down the topic a few hours after episode 1 is out, so I hope all of you can post your thoughts on this question :wink:

To answer my own question: what am I most looking forward to? Firstly, I am looking forward to more inward-focused character conflict. I like the idea of them having powers, and how their powers could somehow instill into the characters negative thoughts about themselves. Yuu seems to heavily doubt his own identity because of his power, and I am hoping that Nao would somehow feel isolated because of her own power.

Second thing I am most looking forward to is an explanation of their powers. I am expecting that that is something that would be tackled in the later episodes, and hope this provides some sort of “twist” in the story. It’s definitely going to go down a darker road, as we have seen from the posters, so I am definitely excited as to how they plan to execute that!

So, what are you guys looking forward to?
