Looks interesting. I'm looking forward to the casting roles in this especially Maaya Uchida for one of the main characters.

I'm hoping that we can get a pre-series airing explanation (those series preview guides that list the main characters that ANN uses) as to why the series is called Charlotte.

YES! Very Happy
I had a feeling that he might get cast for the role after reading the character's description:

Kouki Uchiyama and Ayane Sakura as the two main leads seems like a good combination and I'm always happy to hear more Maaya Uchida.

Charlotte's definitely one of my most anticipated shows of the Summer Season. The whole powers with restrictions premise sounds like it could be really interesting and if it's used to good effect the show should be great.

Also here's hoping it's potential isn't squandered the way Glasslip's was last Summer. Sad

Ayane Sakura is a silver-haired girl, much like Kana Hanazawa was the silver-haired girl in Angel Beats. Coincidence, or do we officially have the new Hanakana? Also, I love Maaya Uchida, so that's great news.

He did Angel Beats and I loved it. That is why I am looking foreward to watching this.

I'm honestly tired of Kouki Uchiyama so when I saw this the other day I wasn't too happy. Not bad, just so overused.

Well at least I can expect the art to be pretty good. The rest will depend on the main character and plot. But this:

Isn't raising my hopes one bit. Not that I have a grudge against him, it's just that I don't like his characters.

Only in spoiler[Little Busters] does that happen because spoiler[they have different fathers] . In here she's channeling her dead sister so that's why they look so alike, and only the eyes are different.
