First Animated PV of Charlotte unveiled!

Well, that was a PV.

I will say that the animation is quite good, and the music isn’t too bad either. I can tell that the protagonist is going to be quite the interesting guy. My opinion of everything else is still up in the air, so I’ll have to wait for more information to see if this is actually worth watching.

That face, though…

Same impression here. I have high expectations for this protagonist. He seems really cool. Hope P.A. Works does a good job. The only thing I’ve watched by them was Nagi no Asukara, and it was an excellent anime.

There’s the staff interview

-Charlotte is Maeda’s real life novel !?
Maeda has super power and is secretly struggling with it,make sense. XP
Joke aside,seem like Otosaka’s character will deeply reflected Maeda’s personal experience.

A good protagonist goes a long ways towards making a good show. Way too many characters have flat “audience surrogate” protagonists that ironically add nothing to the shows they headline.

First I’ve seen of Charlotte since… Silhouette-chan. I stand by my earlier tweet.


Who is that girl he was on a date with? o.o He looked sooooo dere!

The song in this video wasn’t as amazing as the other one, but it’s still pretty great. I think I’ll like this ost. Feels like a nice departure from the standard Key music.

Tari Tari. Shirobako. Go.

So I’ve basically compiled my thoughts on the characters on the Charlotte discussion topic so you can continue there:

As for my thoughts for the PV itself? Music is amazing, and I feel this is gonna be the kind of style we’ll see from ZHIEND. Animation and art is absolutely great and that is one thing I love about P.A. Works. Glasslip was glassshit but god damn was it beautiful.

HYPE HYPE!!! The boys and girls actually have lots of Na-Ga style, GJ PA Works!!
And the words match my suspect about the story. They are considered having sick while they have special abilities and monitored by some people. And cruel fate is waiting for them… Already feel sad! ;_;

P.S. Strange, still can’t watch it on Kaza’s regular news page and Youtube page. It shows: This video contains content from Sony Music Entertainment (Japan) Inc., who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds.

But it can be watched on forum. Hmmm…

There’s a long story behind that that I will explain in about… 15 minutes :stuck_out_tongue:

It is pretty well done indeed. The more extended music is purely strong and emotional! The moving characters are actually containing lots of Na-Ga spirit. Love it!

GJ on the subs. Grinding out those PVs today.

The way he uses his special ability reminds me of Kotarou in Rewrite!
Of course we still don’t know how Kotarou’s eyes will change when he using his rewrite ability. But the image in this PV matches my imagination to Kotarou!!!

Which means, c’mon Key, next anime should be Rewrite!!! xD

Spoilers :stuck_out_tongue:

Wait… did Kotarou’s eyes change when he rewrote himself? I don’t remember that.

No, because we’re the sight of Kotarou in most of time. But the effects that on the sight every time let me think "hmm… it should be something in his eyes that’s why he can see the ‘aurora’ springing up.

(Rewrite) His eyes don’t do anything when he uses his aurora in the second OP.

How to use the spoiler tag?

Just my expectation when the screen having aurora springing up. But of course it could be different in anime display.

I watch all my videos in 360p, so I don’t see small details like this, but since someone brought it up earlier…

Watched the scene for a bit, and it really looks like they are running from the school, with the hope to come back some day.

If we look at the context surrounding it, a cruel fate, talks of running, the green man signaling GO, the two (or three) looking over the landscape where, in the eyes of Nao, a bright light shines from, as feathers fall from the sky - possibly hinting at freedom, or a fresh start.

Something happened that left them trying to run away. With the timing and the sound direction, there’s a sense of hopeless hopefulness when the final line appears. “The promise… is to come back home.” That’s the promise at least.

I’d have to say the exact opposite.

Her hair is ugly, her eyes are way too big for her face and makes her look simply unnatural, and the overly happy and cutesy way she comes off as pisses me off.

Not a character I’m happy with.

In other news the heavy sounds while the piano goes wild is pretty glorious stuffs.

And laaaaastly, the way Nao-Nao doesn’t express at all in this PV has me worried.
