Charlotte
Dengeki G's February 2015 issue announced further details about the upcoming Key x P.A. Works anime. The story will focus on four characters on the student council, one of which is a member of one of two bands in the series. The songs sung by the bands will be rock, and the vocalists will be female. Unlike Angel Beats!, the characters' seiyuu will sing for their characters. Jun Maeda will produce all OP, ED, and insert songs for the series (composition and lyrics). The story will be somewhat similar to Angel Beats!, but will focus more on each character. The first half the series will be calm, and then it will progress with vigor.

Two characters were also revealed: Yuu Otosaka, who looks like an A student but is not good at studying; and Nao Tomori, the student council president who is very firm and studious, but has behavior problems.

A lot of previews this week...

And not to mention, some new additions to the Spring lineup. April looks godly next year. I wonder when Charlotte will air though. My bet is Summer now at earliest. Hope it will be 2 cour too.

We separate them once the Season PV thread goes up.


I'm quite surprised at some of the VAs cast as supporting characters in World Break:
The PV didn't look like anything special at all, but the supporting cast has raised my interest slightly. Koyasu, why don't you act in many series anymore ;_;

I'm looking forward to picking up Toshokan Sensou: Love & War now that it has completed, too.

Charlotte sounds nice.
That Kyoani anime though... ugh, hate the character designs.

Would you look at that, Charlotte sounds like another angst-filled teen story that takes the same routes that most of Maeda's do. Will it have lots of girls surrounding one boy who helps their problems?

No thanks. Over-angsty stuff is a major turn off. It can become real awkward when you are thrown into constant sadness and don't feel anything because, "I WANT YOU TO FEEL, SO FEEEEEL"

Hidetoshi Nakamura Passes Away

R.I.P

It's sad that these news in the forums don't get as much recognition as an anime coming out.
"Hey, assbutt!"—Castiel, Supernatural

"Do you ever have a problem where you just don't know how to reply to an argument-- not because you don't know the answer, but you just don't where to begin? Like, the foundation of knowledge you'd need to impart to this person before you could even begin to drag them out of their sinkhole of ignorance would cost thousands of dollars, if it were coming from a University?" -MAL in a nutshell.

Not really buying Charlotte yet, but it is the same creator as Angel Beats and Little Busters ( which i both loved), so i expect good things - especially since how they keep bringing up Angel Beats into it........

Edit: But i do love how they are focusing on a much smaller amount of characters
