Never saw it pop up and never heard of this site. /shrug

Iā€™m kinda glad her name isnā€™t Charlotte. It means the name has a deeper meaning than just being named after her. Also

He is an honors student who is quite stupid

Isnā€™t that kind of paradoxical?

He passes class via nefarious means.

Right after that sentence it says

often using mysterious techniques to cheat.

I wonder if thatā€™s important to the plot or if itā€™s just a reason to have an opposite to the student council president without cloning Tomoya.

Oh I get it, he wished on the Saucer to give him good grades.

Now, now. We know that the girl is not Charlotte, so Iā€™m guessing maybe Charlotte is the name of the in-series band. Just maybe.
The setting looks much more normal than I thought. But again, itā€™s Keyā€¦ ahem, Jun Maeda.

Doubt it, Yu and Nao-Nao are the focus characters, but the way it was said makes it sound like the band isnā€™t them.

So! Looks like Iā€™m late to the party, then :stuck_out_tongue: Anyways, they somehow got themselves an early copy of Dengeki Gā€™s haha.

First off, looks like she isnā€™t Charlotte. As expected, she is Japanese and has a Japanese name. Which leaves the question ā€œWhat is Charlotte?ā€

It could have just a minor point in the story (like many other Key titles), or it could be something more. Iā€™m kind of leaning to that minor planet theory, but thatā€™s just me.

And, as expected, her personality is stoic. Awww xP I wouldā€™ve wished for somebody a bit more dynamic. The guyā€™s personality is interesting, though. We still donā€™t know whose POV will be used for the anime (it might even be a 3rd person POV) but whosoever it uses would be pretty good, I think.

[/quote]It says the guy is the main character and the hero of the anime, so Iā€™m guessing it will be from his POV. Its a little disappointing that they wonā€™t be trying something new, but as Maeda said, its gonna be usually Key.

Honestly, besides the names and the band, it really feels like we donā€™t know anything still. I mean, it didnā€™t say anything about stars or meteors/comets or video cameras or coming home or even salviaā€¦

Oh hey youā€™re right.

Well, I guess using the POV of a stoic girl defeats the purpose of her being stoic :stuck_out_tongue:

This sounds so bland now

Maybe it sounds bland because we donā€™t know anything at all about it aside from some names, some very short background info, and the existence of a band.

Iā€™m not excited for it yet, but for now thereā€™s absolutely no sign that it is going to be bland.

Iā€™m hoping for something like in Rewrite, the end of the common route twist was soooo good. Iā€™m hoping weā€™ll get not that much information because shit will get real later.

Yeah Iā€™m with Bonecuss. Theyā€™re trying to build up a sense of mystery in an, at first mundane setting.

The thing I want to know most is the VA/Singer for this band. Thatā€™s actually a pretty interesting tidbit, if true, about the VA being the singer.

Yeah, it is Maeda, but itā€™s still Key and anime in general. Itā€™s going to contain a mold to benefit the viewer masses, more or less. Not to mention itā€™s an easy way to build a setting without racking your brain for something new. Again again, itā€™s Key, and Maeda- So this comfortable setting is most likely a ruse for whatā€™ll be a rather wild ride.

If you want Maeda that isnā€™t Key, youā€™ve basically got kinda AB!, and Hibiki.

I know I said we should avoid wild theories butā€¦ **** it, wild theory time!

We already know that Charlotte isnā€™t the name of the main heroine. And weā€™ve seen the electricity motif. Iā€™m beginning to like the ā€˜Charlotte is a computer programā€™ theory more and more. Our characters are trapped in a digital world. Our protagonist may be the programmer, or at least someone with the ability to manipulate the world to his ends (using it to get unusually high grades in school, among other things). The girl is a part of the program, not a real human.

Something like that would be pretty interestingā€¦ Unless thereā€™s any evidence which disproves my theory?
