Charlotte: The Strong Ones
Synopsis
Takehito Kumagami's clairvoyance leads his group of friends to another child with supernatural powers: Iori Sekiguchi, a mind reader. However, as they try to approach her, they realize her power makes her nearly impossible to pin down. Having been chosen by the club to handle this case, Nao Tomori and Yuu Otosaka must find a way to get around the child's unique ability before it is too late. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
Audience Consensus
The OVA is a pleasant but ultimately unnecessary addition to the Charlotte universe. It recaptures the feel of the earlier, more episodic portion of the series, providing enjoyable character interactions and a lighthearted story. However, it fails to address any of the plot threads left dangling by the main series' ending, leaving some fans disappointed, and does not contribute to the overarching narrative.
Strengths
- Enjoyable character interactions, particularly between Yuu and Nao
- Mirrors the enjoyable early episodic format of the main series
- Good art and sound quality consistent with the original series
Weaknesses
- Adds nothing to the overall story arc of Charlotte
- Uneven balance between comedy and drama
- Inconsistent with the ending of the main series
- Tomori's character can be annoying
