How many episodes will Rewrite get?
| Well, I check the Rewrite Twitter account and other sources around 3 times a day, just in case... So if any news gets out, or interviews, I'll be sure to post it here if no one else does and translate whatever it is. Maybe if we're really lucky we will hear even something small within the next few months, or they may release an official artwork for a Christmas present for us fans (hoping so!). Miyoshino drew a lovely picture of Kotori in a kimono for a calendar, hopefully she will look similar to that on the animation. http://plus.koubaibu.jp/item/va_vs_calendar_2016/ My bet for release is Autumn 2016. We will be really lucky if it's before that to be honest, and spring is just impossible... that would be some miracle and probably be rushed as hell considering Tanaka said they are in the middle of screenplay and plot. We have quite a few good anime airing next year, so it should help us wait even if it's not Rewrite. 〜〜 On the original topic: I think we will get around 24 episodes. Maybe if we're lucky, these episodes won't include Terra or Moon, and we get another 12 or 13 for the both of them. In reality I want 5 or 6 episodes for each heroine, but I seriously doubt we'll be that lucky... |

I think a way of getting around the length of the heroine routes would be to alter them in such a way that you can have them be around 3 episodes; but at the same time keep some of the main CGs/scenes involved in them. Given that Romeo is on script, they could easily do this and still make it work in regards to the story overall. Kai is also on script, and he worked on scenario in Air and Clannad, so that's also very promising. |

| In all honesty my main concern is the Common Route. I have faith that if that at least gets done properly then there won't really be much to worry about. With that said though a proper adaption of the entire visual novel would need to be 2 cours of 24 episodes each but even then they would need to cut some of the fluff out of the Common Route which is where my main concern comes in. Basically what I want to say is that all that we can really do is trust that 8bit knows what they're doing when it comes to figuring out what to cut and keep things cohesive while they're at it. |
| ^ Well, 8-bit certainly isn't lacking in the cutting department. Not really a good thing in their case, though. Especially with their VN adaptations. |
|
| We haven't gotten 24 + 24 since Clannad, but then again they had KyoAni so they didn't have to worry much about budget. And Rewrite is just a little bit shorter than Clannad (both estimate around 100k lines of text). I'm at the very least hoping we get a 24 + 13 (like Little Busters) because the heroine routes are super lengthy and could easily omit some content. It's really hard to say what it'll get at the moment. Aniplex producing does seem promising though; they've never worked with Key on a visual novel adaptation before. |

| As long as the first season at least is 24 eps then we shouldn't have much to worry about. 24+24 would be ideal but the second season being 13 eps should work out. As long as they keep the common route along with Kotori and Akane's routes mostly intact then I'll be okay. Unrelated note: I'm actually glad that 8bit got this. It's too dark for Kyoani, Madhouse is flip floppy with quality and Shaft and JC are both usually busy with other works and I'm not really familiar with other studios that could have gotten this. Though I feel like JC could have handled it. I'm currently playing through Little Busters and I have to say that they did a damn fine job with the adaption even if it wasn't perfect. |

My thoughts exactly. 13 for Moon/Terra would work out quite nicely. 2-3 for Moon and the rest for Terra. I feel like JC could have done it too. |

chardsixteen said: I actually think 1 cour would be pretty interesting - what will they focus on, and will they have to make an anime original ending to fit what they show? I'm down to see that. But more cours would be nice too :3 I was thinking if they were to take that route, they would rewrite (no pun intended) the story to where everything could take place inside Terra and work from there. |

| I am not familiar with the company making this show, but this anime should get around 48 episodes to get all of the VN's material in it. Judging from the first page, it will likely end up being a crap anime. Not too bad, since the VN's final (and most important) routes sucked, but still.. If they can do the character routes well, I'll be happy. |
| With the correct amount of episodes, they could fix the problems of Terra. One of the main reasons why Terra felt underwhelming was due to a lack of CGs. |

| 48 would be so damn nice but I think that 37(3 cours) would work as well. First season (24 episodes) Common route(introduction+going into Kotori's route): 5 episodes Kotori's route: 4 episodes Common route(chihaya ver): 1 episode Chihaya's route: 4 episodes Common route: (Lucia ver): 1 episode Lucia's route: 4 episodes Common route(Shizuru ver): 1 episode Shizuru's route: 4 episodes Second season (13 episodes) Common route(Akane ver): 1 episode Akane's route: 4 episodes Moon (a 1 hour long episode) Terra (7 episodes) Keep in mind that even if Rewrite is so damn long, half of each route is just Kotarou thinking and describing events, so yeah the ep count that I mentioned is enough for Rewrite. Also if you played the game you know that the common route starts focusing on a character at the end if you are going into that character's route so they could do a "what if" scenario after each route ends. |
| but predictions are prediction we won't know the episode count until the time comes T^T all we can do is pray |

Also if you played the game you know that the common route starts focusing on a character at the end if you are going into that character's route so they could do a "what if" scenario after each route ends. I was thinking that too; 24 + 13 could work. I like your format you got there, but wouldn't 5 episodes at the beginning for the common route drag a little bit? Sure there were alot of events but they could be spread out in between heroine routes. What I'm getting at is starting with 5 episodes before going into the heroine routes might drag a little bit. But who knows? And that's also worth noting. A good of Rewrite's length is Kotarou's inner monologues and whatnot. Though they shouldn't butcher them completely, but condense them enough to where the points get across every time. Not sure if you're aware of it, but long before the anime was announced, when people were speculating on how a potential anime could work, they said that the entire thing could start in Moon and have Kotarou reflect on every past heroine route (obviously without revealing the truth about where he really is; catering to the anime only viewers). So in other words, like this: 1. (Kotarou reflecting upon the common route) --> Common route start 2. (Kotarou reflecting upon Kotori timeline) ---> Kotori route start 3. (Kotarou reflecting upon Chihaya timeline) ---> Chihaya route start etc. (After Kotarou reflects on all heroine timelines) ---> Moon route start This way they can do the omnibus format and make it work. |

It is lacking, yes, but on the other hand, Terra's were all about everyone OTHER than Kotarou, which is honestly quite disappointing since Terra is his and apparently, Kagari's route. Still, imo, the lack of CGs is a minor problem. I mean, I enjoyed Akane's route despite the aforementioned lack of CGs. Not having stuff like |

| Common route having 5 episodes is actually pretty good. the common route of Rewrite is longer than the usual common routes in other Key VNs. thse 5 first episodes will be an introduction + tons of comedy and Trolltarou greatness + foreshadowing xD Also I want Yoshino song and HEXAS to get animated |
| Also I think that the lack of CG in the game gives the anime team more freedom, adapting still images of action into animations can be hard but adapting action scenes from a script is easy :D |
| I don't see why it wouldn't get 3 cours at the very least. Because Kajitsu got 12? I don't think that's enough indication of what it'll get. And anyway, it was obvious that the team planned to adapt the whole series from the start and was a part of their pitch, so it's easier to say that Grisaia got 24 rather 12. I doubt the producers looked at the individual word counts, only that it was a trilogy of games. Not only that but Motoki admitted that ever since he did the animated Moon opening he has wanted to do a Rewrite adaptation, meaning he had more interest in doing it than he did Grisaia. I get the feeling Grisaia was almost a test run to allow the team to get a feel for themselves. Hell, Meikyuu and Rakuen really aren't too far off from some parts of Rewrite. Meikyuu has a very Terra-esque feel with the character backstory. Then we have the fact that Aniplex is funding this. Aniplex has had two commercial successes with Key so far (Angel Beats and Charlotte) and a really big hit both commercially and critically with Fate/Stay Night, another visual novel. I get the feeling that Charlotte may genuinely have been a cash grab for Aniplex both to get money for Rewrite's budget and see if they could still sell well with Key. When they saw that Charlotte was getting a pretty good reception (despite some of the serious hate surrounding it) they were able to fully green-light Rewrite, explaining why the announcement has come so early in the show's development and immediately after Charlotte's airing. Having Key staff involved in the project clearly shows that Key are actively engaging with the project and staff to ensure its success. In all adaptations they will always send assets and scripts to the original creators but actually having them in the staff shows a level of passion and care for the project. It should be safe to say then that Key are also providing the staff with a decent amount of money along with that. Add that up with the money Aniplex would be throwing at 8-bit and I think there's room for hope in the adaptation. And one last thing to think about as well is the fact that Rewrite got a lot of criticism for some plot holes and a slightly rushed ending. An anime adaptation where Romeo and Key are heavily involved gives them room to try and fix those problems and make Rewrite more complete. A lot of people can tell that Rewrite was perhaps too ambitious and lacked the time and resources to make it complete (evidence of this being the severe lack of voices, sprites, and CGs compared to other Key works). If Rewrite is done right and is done well it can really be a hit. It has the commercial hook to it with the romantic aspects and action, as well as being a well-written story with ridiculous depth compared to not just other Key works but even a lot of other anime out there. Have a bit of faith in this for once. |

These were my exact thoughts initially when the adaptation was announced, but I got shut down by numerous people on the announcement thread because "Kaijitsu this and Kaijitsu that". So I'm glad there's people on my side for this. Plus, all of Key's full length visual novels got enough episodes to cover most of the material, so Rewrite should be no different. |

| Honestly, my main worry is about Lucia's route. I mean, if they cut the romance it will literally ruin it! I'd be also glad if they cut Terra off (that route was just terrible for a true route. ^)Ending with Moon would be great, oh and that final epilogue scene. (Seriously, Terra is just there to tell us what we already knew. It was just dumb) Rewrite is my second favorite VN(after LB!), but the routes, the common route all were better than LB! Rewrite had the best set of routes I've read and it's just damn epic! So why is LB! better? The true route. Terra sucks and Refrain rocks. That's why Terra needs to be cut off. |

| You can't just "cut off" Terra. I'll admit that it's not as good as many other True routes but it's still the culmination of Rewrite's plotline as a whole. Skipping out on that would leave it without an ending at all, which would obviously be incredibly unsatisfactory |

starlessn1ght said: The true route. Terra sucks and Refrain rocks. That's why Terra needs to be cut off. Not possible. Moon would simply feel like a waste of time if that happened. I mean, Terra's not really that good but it still IS needed and provides quite the background story for Kotarou. |
|
| Well, I like Terra because we get to see a . Am I the only one who cares about Esaka? Besides, I'm too big of a fanboy to want them to skip any route; regardless if I think some are far superior to others... |
