Charlotte Episode 9: The World is Not Here - Bobble Reviews

Welcome to Day One of Charlotte Charlotte Catch-Up Time, where I give you one episode a day of Charlotte for a Limited Time Only. Today we go to a concert!

P-p...pretention!?

When our hero Light Yagami listens to the ZHIEND vocalist's lumpy Japanese-lady-speaking-English voice and dinky, off-rhythm lyrics, he goes on like a really bad trip.

To purgatory! (Hell?)

He's no longer at the concert...he's chillin' out to some hospital jams with his deceased little sister!! But is he really in the afterlife? Or is the truth even...stranger????? Could this all have...already happened?!!?!?

Subtle.

They're not in the hospital...they're in the shady facility!!

Because no place with hospital wear and bland-name blocks can ever be good
(nor is anything the imouto likes truly worthy).

Whoop! Is that some symbolic product placement I see back there?

So anyway, Light Yagami talks to this old dude. He's important because he will help Light later. He likes coming in here to listen to classical music. Pffffft.

So anyway, he goes to eat bland medicine food because this world is corrupt. He also hangs out with the brown-haired dude who was part of the student council, who always had drippy water all over him that nobody cared about who made Light go, "WHO THE HECK IS THIS MAN I WILL NEVER KNOW OR HAVE KNOWN ANYTHING ABOUT!?"

They hatch a plan to catch the guy with telepathy. First, Light mind-controls a guy with a pompadour.
He does this in order to make him lose his concentration, causing the baseball
which he was previously balancing upon his head to fall into a curry slurry.
This, in turn, causes his friends to laugh at him. This leads to nothing.
Why? Why would this happen?

Okay so anyway then we go in search of the real plot

dammit you people we don't know

Thaaaat's better.

Little Sis Imouto got captured all of a sudden by the big bad security! Not only that, but after Light got tazed trying to save her from the rude dudes with attitude, he woke up in this weird room in the middle of what turns out to have been...an earthquake-level disaster!!!!!

It turns out that the bad guys made Sis use her superpower, "collapse." But there's one good way to finagle all the right pieces together: use the best power, which is the power to use other powers.

I guess now is the time to ask who made these names.

Now unleashed, Big Bro Yagami steals the power of telepathy and dashes down the hall! To make someone do what again?

Alright, pretty succinct.

Sorry. I just showed this picture because I thought the way he runs is pretty funny.

He breaks into the room of his older brother (never-before seen or mentioned because he is mysterious) using the powers from this blond dude (never-before seen or mentioned because he is mysterious). It looks cool. It's wild. They free him!

"What do YOU think, VIEWERS..?????"

Then the brown-haired dude walks into the hospital room of the present day and says "yo, so you remember all that too!"

At some point you should know to stop using that word.

And then the brown-haired guy goes "hey, let's rescue your sister!"

Probably with some sort of amazing psychic power, right? Oh yeah, those have never existed!
Oopsie~! Why did I even bring it up~!

Here it comes. The clincher. Light's gonna meet his big brother for the first time in this post-timejumpy world and meet some freakin' answers. Because everyone knows his own brother but him.

"Of course, the implication here is that he loves you less than a random cripple."

We go on a journey to a magical underground bunker of supernatural teenager research, but the good kind with no tasers. More choice lines ensue, for who otherwise would have known that Light believes that he will soon meet his big brother!?

!!!!!!!!!We're here!!!!!!!!

EXCUSE ME

He walks around, bein' blind, likin' everyone but Baby Bro.

Head-rubbing: it's not just for rascally imoutos anymore. Don't be shy: pet the family Rei!

She's too far gone. Don't tell her about the clone-quarium.

EXCUSE ME???????

Light Yagami, rather than ask "excuse me brother why are you AWFUL," sits back and prepares to listen to his wonderful tale of truth. He reveals the deep secret. The secret of the name. You know it, I know it, and it hasn't been linked to any specific institutions or characters. Until now. That's right: the guy with the brown hair is nicknamed ChPooh.

This...this ending could go on forever.

See what I mean?
