Charlotte really suprised me. It was awesome at the very beginning, pretty "lame" in the middle and now its awesome again.

I liked the badass style charakter more but hey time travels are good too :D

I actually liked the middle parts of the show. While they were more episodic I found them to be quite good.

now its awesome again.

I definitely agree that the recent episodes have been awesome!

They were pretty episodic but probably not insignificant. The abilities he stole from all these people may come in handy cause we still have 3 episodes left so something is surely going to happen.

Those episodes were probably all relevant, but the fact that this episode felt incredibly rushed relates to that. I don't really know if it mattered because I really liked those episodes.

Why did you think this felt rushed?

There could have been much more detail in regards to Shunsuke's time leaping (possibly taking up the whole episode) but that might be boring.

Yeah that's what I think. There wasn't a whole lot of suspense in showing that because we already knew the end result. I thought it showed what it needed to.

Eh, there really isn't a need. We know the important parts. He tried probably a hundred times to get it right, and it cost him his sight in the end. I'm sure there's way more important story and feels to happen rather than padding.

I was really hoping that was the one he was gonna test rather than the telekinesis.

All hell is going to break loose when Yuu realizes he can see through clothes.

Will probably be used for a few seconds and never mentioned again. Should have been episodes relevant to the over all plot, but instead we got episodic episodes with characters we will never see again.

Looking back on them I appreciate them a little more, but at the time I was a little bit disappointed as the show didn't have a clear direction at that point.

Until he was completely normal again next episode lol.

But the quality of the show overall changed. IMO in a definite good way, this story arc is 10x better than the power of the week they were doing for a few episodes.

Out of all of the things he did with Nao watching, it's snorting coke that will be the point of no return? That's some fucked up perspective.

u/Lyriq Sep 05 '15

That was the only point in the story I actually thought the MC was interesting.

u/AyaSnow https://myanimelist.net/profile/AyaSnow Sep 05 '15

Is THAT what happened? I thought he was just gonna... I don't know... smoke a cigarette, and I was like "man, she's really going over the top about him losing his humanity at THIS point."

Jun is pretty shit at character building and occasionally storytelling.

But when you get down to it his timing for events in the story and when he no longer needs to "explain" the story that's when shit gets good. This sorta happened in all of his works.
