Charlotte starts off suprisingly fun, mixing comedy, supernatural twists and Yuu’s chaotic personality really well. The character portrayal already feel interesting, and there’s enough heart here to make you keep watching.

The anime really set stage for the first episode, establishing that Otosaka Yu as a scummy piece of crap. The comedy is nicely put, it didn't make me LOL but at least made me chuckle. 7/10

Episode Context

Charlotte opens with a sharp, surprisingly cynical hook. The premiere introduces Yuu Otosaka as an immediately compelling protagonist, not because he's likable, but because he's not. He possesses a supernatural ability and weaponizes it for selfish gain, and the show leans into that moral ugliness with a streak of dark humor that keeps the tone unpredictable. P.A. Works delivers polished visuals and brisk pacing, wasting no time establishing the rules of Yuu's power while layering in family dynamics through his sister Ayumi and injecting tension through the enigmatic Nao Tomori. The episode balances its comedic beats with an undercurrent of consequence, signaling that this isn't a power fantasy, it's a setup for a fall. Themes of selfishness, ethics, and accountability are planted early and with confidence.
