What's your favorite quote from the anime Charlotte? New fans of the series may be surprised to learn that Charlotte isn't a character, but rather a comet that passes earth every 75 years that inadvertently gives children superpowers. It's a fantastic anime, so let's rank the best Charlotte quotes that deserve to be remembered!

Protagonist Yuu Otosaka has some great quotes in Charlotte, even if they can be slightly depressing: "Trying to forget someone you love is like trying remember someone you never met." Another great Charlotte quote shares wisdom about people who cover up their pain with a smile: "The people who laugh too hard are the people who experienced too much pain." You can't forget about Nao Tomori either, who also has some of the best lines in the Charlotte anime: "I'm not jealous, I'm just territorial. Because when you're jealous, you want something that's not yours."

If you haven't seen Charlotte yet, you should know that it's only 13 episodes long, so don't feel it's going to be a big event to finish it! Either way, vote up your favorite Charlotte anime quotes on the list below, and watch them climb higher on the list.
