Netflix has added Charlotte, a supernatural anime originally released in 2015, to its catalog.
The series, now available to stream, follows Yuu Otosaka, a teenager with the ability to possess others for five seconds, as he is forced to transfer to Hoshinoumi Academy after his powers are exposed.
Set in a world where superpowers are rare, Charlotte explores the personal struggles of its characters while touching on political turmoil.
Despite its short 13-episode run, the show has built a dedicated fanbase over the years, sitting alongside hits like Chainsaw Man and Spy x Family.
While Charlotte struggles with world-building and political drama, it shines in exploring themes like “gifted kid burnout” and the pressure of responsibility on young individuals.
The series offers a unique take on superpowers, making it stand out from shows like My Hero Academia.
Though more episodes could have strengthened its world-building, Charlotte remains an emotional, thought-provoking series. Fans can now stream it on Netflix.
