It was announced during the final episode of Charlotte, that Key's visual novel Rewrite will be receiving a TV anime adaptation. More information will be announced at a later time.

Staff
Director, Series Composition: Motoki Tanaka (Grisaia no Kajitsu)
Composition & Script Assistance: Romeo Tanaka (Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita light novel), Kai (Shinigami no Kyou light novel)
Original Character Design: Itaru Hinoue (Kanon)
Character Design: Masayuki Nonaka (Hello!! Kiniro Mosaic)
Studio: 8bit

Synopsis
Rewrite is set in the fictional city Kazamatsuri where tree-planting and afforestation have caused the city to become overgrown with trees and flowers in much the same way that other cities are filled by buildings. However, while most of the city appears to be rural, there are many traditional city elements as well. While set in a modern setting, the city also gives off a strange sense of nostalgia.

Tennouji Kotarou lives here. He's a high school student who has the ability to rewrite his own body; he can become stronger and faster at any time he chooses. He investigates supernatural mysteries with five girls from his school. (Source: VNDB)

Oh. My. God.

Was my initial reaction, until I noticed it was going to be animated by 8-bit. Goodbye, hopes and dreams.

Hell yeah! I've been hoping for this! :D

Hopefully 8-bit does the job well. They have had some mediocre anime, but I feel like they will get this right.

Part of me is excited because I recently finished the VN, which was quite excellent. A bigger part of me is concerned that this won't nearly live up to the VN.

Irotoridori no Sekai. At least that's what I hope.

I've heard good things about this VN. But 8bit/grisaia staff doesnt sound that good. Hopefully it gets 2 cour atleast or more for proper adaptation/execution.
Imagine a berserk anime by Yoshiaki kawajiri at Madhouse.

Now take a look at Berserk (2016).

I feel very bad for the people who are actually excited about this news, knowing how much they are going to be disappointed by 8-bit. I very, very much doubt they will give Rewrite even remotely close to the amount of episodes it needs. Most likely it will be a jumbled 1-cour mess, when in reality it would need 4-cours to adapt the story even moderately well. The game is a whopping 3.56 MB of text - roughly the length of Fate/stay night.

Based on how long the VN is, I can't see this properly done in under 3-4 cour. It was at least as long as the Little Busters! VN, which got 3 cour.

The basis of the story is set in a high school setting. The first half of Rewrite primarily consists of the characters interacting in many everyday, enjoyable scenes. The latter half, however, is more serious, emotional, and carries a sense of mystery to the plot.

Bruhhhhh Charlotte v2 incoming.

First 8 episodes random everyday shit, other 4-5 some serious stuff.

Yeah, a Little Busters! formula would be much better than the Grisaia formula, and even that would not be near enough.

But P.A.Works is a great studio. All the problems of Charlotte come from so-so script from Maeda. Animation-wise it's perfect.

The common route is so long lol. And then each route needs about 4-6 episodes each.

And I don't see the problem with staff. Staff has nothing to do with eps count.

If Grisaia no Kajitsu got at least 24 eps — it could have been perfect adaptation. But it got only 13 so the staff just had to cut things. I personally found Makinas rout adaptation good and thery made decent although not perfect job with Angelic howl and main route (parts that wasn't cut) and I found Maikyuu and Rakuen adaptation good.

So if ReWrite will get 24-48 eps — no reason to panic.

With Romeo on the script, I have little worries about staff. It all comes down to episode count.
