-**Charlotte** is an [[lb:anime]] that was created through a collaboration between [[lb:Key]] and [[lb:P.A. Works]],((:fn:>While I believe the term ‘collaboration’ is most appropriate to describe the presumed relationship, I don't know for sure whether it was an ‘official collaboration’. [[lb:Key]]’s logo does appear in the credits (and Key coffee does make an appearance in the anime as well), and many of their core staff worked on Charlotte. Key and P.A. Works have worked together a lot, and continue to, which is why I'm assuming it was a collaboration.)) the former providing staff for the writing; character design; and the like, and the latter doing much of the animation work.\\

 The world of Charlotte is one in which teenagers have random super-powers, although all of these super-powers come with a downside that usually renders it impractical to use.

 ===== Review =====
-I don't remember many specifics outside of the series being quite short. The one specific issue I remember is that they undid a major plot-point, which had the effect of rendering a chunk of the show meaningless.\\
+<div rating>
-Charlotte was the first major disappointment I've experienced from [[lb:Key]], and it currently remains the only one. This disappointment is largely the reason this article has remained empty for a while, and will likely remain empty for a while longer.\\
+<div star>★</div>
-There isn't really anything wrong with the basic idea of the series, and the series has the same ‘feel’ that other Key properties have, just that there was a severe misstep at some point during development.((:fn:>And I'm fearing that missteps and production issues are something [[lb:Key]] is plagued by, having affected [[lb:Angel beats]] in particular.))\\
+<div star>★</div>
-I think the twist that <wrap spoiler>the super-powers were actually a sickness</wrap> could have worked, just that it was executed very poorly. If the <wrap spoiler>super-powers</wrap> were actually <wrap spoiler>a sickness</wrap> then there should have been more serious <wrap spoiler>symptoms</wrap> than <wrap spoiler>‘If you use your super-powers the second you lose them, you might die or seriously hurt yourself’</wrap>.\\
+<div star disabled>★</div>
-The worldbuilding in general comes off as not very well thought-out, which is quite unusual when you consider that [[lb:key]]’s other properties have sensible worldbuilding.((:fn:>Albeit simple. But simple executed well is better than complex executed poorly.)) Comparatively, <wrap spoiler>[[playground:Munou na Nana]] handles this far better</wrap>.\\
+<div star disabled>★</div>
-There is a manga, but I haven't gotten to it just yet. I have heard that it's better than the anime, but you never know with the western anime community.
