Anime Charlotte Plot Story
Charlotte Is Set In An Alternate Reality Where A Short-period Comet Called Charlotte Passes Near Earth Every 75 Years. When This Happens, The Dust Spreads To Earth, Causing A Small Percentage Of Dust-breathing Teenage Children To Exhibit Superhuman Abilities Upon Reaching Puberty.
In Japan, The Story Follows The Protagonist Yuu Otosaka, A Boy Who Awakens The Ability To Temporarily Possess Another Person For Five Seconds. Although He Hopes To Use His Powers To Cheat His Carefree School Life, He Is Unexpectedly Exposed By Nao Tomori, A Girl Who Can Make Herself Invisible For A Specific Purpose.
She Forces Him To Go To Hoshinumi Academy And Join Her Student Council, Of Which She Is President. Also On The Student Council Is Zoujiro Takadjo, A Boy Who Can Move At An Uncontrollably High Speed.
The Main Purpose Of The Student Council Is To Ensure The Safety Of Ability Users From Organizations That Seek To Use Their Abilities. In Doing So, The Student Council Warns Ability Users Of The Potential Dangers Of Openly Using Their Abilities.
This Leads The Student Council To Yusa Nishimori, A Pop Singer Who, As A Medium, Has The Ability To Channel The Spirits Of The Dead. Misa, Yusa’s Dead Older Sister, Often Uses This Ability To Wield It Freely At Any Time, Allowing Misa To Use Her Own Ability, Pyrokinesis. Soon, Nao Agreed To Transfer Yusa To The Hoshinumi Academy And Join The Student Council.
Yuu’s Younger Sister, Ayumi, Unexpectedly Awakens The Ability To Make Everything Around Her Suddenly Collapse, Leading To Her Death. As A Result, Yuu Falls Into A Deep Depression And Becomes Isolated, But Nao Successfully Pulls Him Out Of The Depression And Forces Him To Return To The Student Council. Attending A Concert By Post-rock Band Zhiend With Nao, Yuu Recalls Previously Suppressed Memories Of Her Older Brother Shunsuk, Who Has The Ability To Travel Through Time.
Shunsuke Used This Ability To Found Hoshinumi Academy And A Subsidiary Trying To Develop A Vaccine To Prevent Children From Developing Abilities Before They Manifested, But Its Reuse Left Him Blind. Yuu Learns That The True Nature Of His Abilities Allows Him To Steal Another Person’s Abilities By Possessing Them. Yuu Uses Shunsuke’s Time Travel Ability And Ultimately Prevents Ayumi From Dying By Stealing Her Collapse Ability Before She Can Use It.

However, The Operation Does Not Go As Planned, With The Result That Kumagami Is Killed And Yuu Is Badly Injured. After Yuu Recovers, He Decides To Protect All Ability Users Around The World By Stealing Their Abilities According To Nao’s Suggestion.
As Yuu Travels The World Of Stealing Abilities, The More Powers He Gains Soon Take Their Toll On Him, And He Begins To Lose His Memories And Sense Of Himself. However, He Still Manages To Steal The Abilities Of All People Around The World Before He Passes Out.

Charlotte Season 2
Charlotte’s First Season Aired In July 2015 With The Finale In September 2015. There Were 13 Episodes In Total, Each Of Which Lasted An Average Of 25 Minutes. Looking At The Last Episode, I Almost Felt Like The Whole Season Was Condensed Into One Episode, And It Would Be Very Good To Make A Whole New Season Out Of It.
But The Showrunners Didn’t Want That, And It Looks Like They Were Planning To Wrap Up The Show In The First Season. Also, Since Charlotte Is An Original Anime Show, There Is No Original Content To Support The Show. Given That There Is Still A Chance The Showrunners Will Move Into A Second Season, It Will Likely Include Entirely New Characters And The Storyline Is Likely To Be Secondary.
Charlotte Season 2 Release Date
The Production Center Has Not Yet Approved The Script And Release Date For The Second Season Of “Charlotte”. As You’d Expect, Charlotte’s Second Season Could Be Officially Updated In Mid-2022.
This Is Very Rare In The Anime Industry And Some Things Are Rarely Published In The Industry.
