Confirmed: Charlotte has only 13 episodes.

And itās broadcast day(in Japan)! Anyone has any idea which sub group are subbing Charlotte?
Crunchyroll? XP
But yeah, Iām not at all surprised, this confirms many of our suspicions. I hope people wonāt be too quick to rage over this. Please be civil!
Iād just like to remind you all something thatās been restated over and over. The biggest issue with Angel Beats! was the pacing, and thatās because Jun Maeda wrote a story intended for 26 episodes, but was compressed into 13. The Charlotte staff have continually acknowledged the mistakes theyāve made with Angel Beats!, and promise to address them. Thus, we can be confident that this series was developed, from itās conception to be contained within 13 episodes. Pacing should no longer be an issue. If you want further proof, look at the cast: Only 5 main characters, and arguably only 2 that are really going to be super important by the end. Itās not gonna feel crammed this time.
All Iām asking is, have faith. Episode count doesnāt make a series; good writing does.

Allow me to grab my popcornā¦
Crunchyroll, Daisuki, Viewster all have it (I know Daisuki is free, Iām pretty sure Viewster is)
Iāve been on this side all-along. While Iām sure weād all love more if the series is written for 13 episodes then 13 episodes is far better than 26. Anohana was amazing but would it have been if it was stretched longer than the writers intended?

Iād say āyeah thatā usually Iād be fine with 13/26 either way, but Maeda has shown he has a problem not writing too damn much.
Works for a VN(and even then some of his stuff can drag), not for a cartoon.
Ooh I just saw it on the website as well!
Kanji is a bit hard to read for now, so I canāt comment on most of the episodes. However, it is veeery interesting that Episode 11 is entitled āCharlotteā. This might actually be the second time (after little busters) that the title of a Key work is an actual thing in the seriesā¦ Or not Only time will tell~ But at this point, I wouldnāt be surprised if the word āCharlotteā is uttered in the series at least once.
Thatās what Iāve been trying to say for the longest time >_< So yeah, I do hope they wrote it well enough to stay within the bounds of this episode limit.
I dunno man, nobody in Air seemed to be particularly short on oxygen, I think the air was pretty damn present in that.

I find it more weird thatās episode 11 and not 13. I might just miss it but donāt most anime that name an episode after the show name then finale not a couple episodes before it?
Not sure if the face meant this was a joke but Little Busters and Rewrite?
Forgive me as I totally forgot about Little Busters when I was writing that post. I donāt know why I did, but I did.
But when I say āan actual thingā I meant something that the characters refer to in the series. Rewrite is more a concept than a āthingā, I think.
Well, uhhā¦ Youāre not wrongā¦

Episode 1 shenanigans
Implied Episode 2 drama, confirming itās doomed from the get go because YOU CANāT DO THAAAAAAAAAAT
Comedy episode
Twiests and turns all around, expand world
Hello music eccentric episode
Considering the next one is the āendā of the escape, this is probably the start
Pretty sure everyone already knows theyāre gonna āescapeā from the school
A chance encounter? With the Angel Beats cast.
The world not here? You mean the afterlife? I guess theyāre dead now.
Pillage, as in āpillaging assets and writing from the last show we madeā
Meteors
Kanon reference lel
See, she is recording everything
I may have stopped being serious about half way though.
So I went ahead and translated the titles. Some of the kanji were pretty hard o.o Will tag it in a spoiler, in case people donāt wanna see:
Episode 1: Waga Tanin wo Omou (I think of other people)
- Weāve already been hinted about this many times; This refers to Yuuās inner thoughts
Episode 2: Zetsubou no Senritsu (Melody of Despair) - Not sure what this could refer to, but considering the student councilās jobs, I am guessing a student has a melody-related power that they need to help out?
Episode 3: Koi to Honoo (Love and Flames) - Iām thinking this will be a Yusa episode. Misa has already been confirmed to be able to create flames, so thatās what tipped me off
Episode 4: Setsuna no Honki (Truth of the Moment) - A bit too general so I canāt make any comments about this
Episode 5: Itsuka Kiita Oto (The Sound I Once Heard) - This seems like itāll refer to something that happened in the past; Ooooh backstory~
Episode 6: Kidzukanakatta Shiawase (The Happiness I Didnāt Notice) - The twitter previously confirmed this as the āturning pointā of the series; the title definitely implies some sort of regret
Episode 7: Touhikou no Hate ni (At the End of Escape) - This seems to tie into the other poster weāve seen; Two people trying to escape from some facility
Episode 8: Kaikou (Chance Meeting) - Possibly tied up with the previous episode? Someone comes to save them (If so, I bet on Joujirou!)
Episode 9: Koko ni nai Sekai (The World That Isnāt Here) - This is where it gets interestingā¦ The first thing that comes to mind here is the afterlife, and that adds even MORE ties to Angel Beats. Hrrrrrrmmmmā¦
Episode 10: Ryakudatsu (Plunder) - Also a kind of general title, so I canāt think of anything in particular
Episode 11: Charlotte - MUH CHARLOTTE
Episode 12: Yakusoku (Promise) - Either a promise made in the past, or a promise to be kept for the future
Episode 13: Korekara no Kiroku (The Record From Here on) - Sounds like a pretty good title for a final episode; implies hope for the future, and such
Very interesting titles, I think. Iām getting more and more curious as to how this thing will go.
OH MY GOD
I just realised Yuuās name is a pun. āWhy am I myself and not somebody else?ā Yuu = You.
Heh.

OMG, the HYPE is so huge!!!
I think the name of an episodes by itself doesnĀ“t say too much ( I think thatās why they posted the names)ā¦
I just hope ācharlotteā episode to have as much feels as ālittle busters!ā episode from little busters.
I cannot stand this haipu!!!

Cross fingersā¦ lets hope theyāve really learn from their mistakes.
Anyway, I have true trust in themā¦ because if they were able to create something good from a mistake (quote Jun Maeda himself) in AB, if they were able to compress that full season story into a small oneā¦ even with all those problems they were still able deliver a good product, and made us have fun and shed some tears, then Iām truly confident they will do it quite right this time.
HYPE!

I do think 1 cour is a wasted potential though, with all the money they have they couldāve done a longer seriesā¦
