| I can't give anything higher than 3/5. I'm starting to be afraid that we will get Kagari Route + Moon + Terra in 13 eps. They can't rush more, can they? |
Hongu said: Volarer said: I honestly can't tell if you're serious or not.Lol it'd be faster if I just summed up what this show has in common with generic battle harems. And that is literally nothing. Just keep watching. This is not a harem. It's not a shounen either. This is nothing but the most glorious piece of philosophy ever created by a human being. While "the most glorious piece" part is too strong of a claim, Rewrite (that is, the VN) really has little to do with the battle harem genre (though one or two routes might come off as shounen). It doesn't mean, however, that this adaptation will stay wholly faithful to the original. |
| Oh man, how could they rush this much? this was too fast! this was too speedy! I couldn't keep up with the events without a second rewatch, how awful! *thumbs up, excellent episode. Next" |
 |
| I just noticed that the OP didn't have Midou... Where the fuck is Midou... |

Not all that surprising honestly. Imamiya's there tho so we're all good. |

PervertOlympus said: Is it me? or the opening of the VN is much better, also Senri looks less mature compared to the VN. The girls have all fallen victim to a mysterious loli virus. |
| It's great that the age of these terrible bishoujo game adaptations is mostly over. They're just going through a checklist of tropes. Bottom of the barrel in every regard. Their so called comedy (which mainly consist of talking about breasts) doesn't work for me either. Scene transitions were just as incompetent as last week. There is literally nothing here worth seeing. |
 |
| The jokes were really badly done, and not enough Yoshino... The opening was fine, I expected a little more, while the art of the ending is so clunky it's distracting. All in all, this episode was better than the first one, it was not bad but I expected the jokes to flow better. |
So I'm guessing we're not gonna see And Midou is more of a meme than Imami... :/ He's hard to make fun of. |

| Good episode of Rewrite. It was funny to see some scenes like Oppai and Lucia enemy of women. Couple scenes were original like farting scene and final scene Kagari was outside watching the club and Kotori sees her which is foreshadowing. I thought so they would end on all heroines joined the club. I'll give this 4/5 since it was rushed but not drag out. |
LightBladeNova said: It makes me sad to know that still hardly anyone knows what a visual novel is, even in the anime community. |
| I liked the episode and the comedy. MC is funny, the harem is gathered and ribbon girl goes rekted by a piece of paper and a fart. Kotori and blonde loli are the best girls for the moment. Lucia is the worst, but I will give her a chance if the thing that her character is more of why she appears is truth. |
 |
| Ok, i guess people hyped me about this for the wrong Reasons xD It's turning out to be Comedy of the Season + PLOT, nothing else. Seriously tho, even tough i didn't read the VN, this has rushed written all over it, and seems to be for VN'ers only, not anime-onlies. Will give it one more episode, i guess. |
| Guys, chill out with the later VN event/character discussions, especially the usage of specific terms. Go to the other thread for that. |
|
| >people thinking this is a harem battle trope thing hahahahahahahaha I can't wait to see their reactions later..its going to be priceless. |

They also kinda cut out a lot of Kotori's sharp tongue, Chihaya being a total dumbass and how much of a spaz Yoshino is... |

| Aaand dropped. I still don't know what to expect from the plot (I do) and it couldn't buy me to care, I don't care about the characters either, the directing is awful, it doesn't feel any different than watching a visual novel gameplay on youtube. Even if the original VN is not bad at all (I don't know, I don't care), that's not how you make an adaptation. There are a lot of good VN adaptations out there so it's not impossible to make one. |

Koybz said: The harem has gathered at lightning speed. It was rushed, but I still thought it was a very fun episode, I just love the banter between the characters in Rewrite. Shame we won't be getting much more common route episodes though. I feel like this really is for the fans of the VN though. Like, while I enjoyed watching the common route antics in this episode as I'm already well established with the characters already after having read the VN, it's not hard to see how first time viewers could be put off by the series. With the likes of the thrown together directing style, the plain character designs and inconsistent animation, the incredibly rushed nature, the lack of time to establish the characters causing them to come off as tropish, the harem like setting (well it is Key, so people should have been expecting this anyway), the constant confusing hints at the plot and the bombardment of admittedly juvenile comedy. It's all a bit of a mess, not to mention the awful battle scene's last episode and the fact that the anime seems to be throwing everything including the kitchen sink at the viewer. I'm not even sure what to expect from the anime as the only scene from the original route was so far was one I dislike a lot. The visuals for the OP were nicely done albeit a bit spoilery. The ED was adorable while being even more spoilery than the OP, but in a subtler way. This basically sums up exactly how i felt when watching the episode. As someone who has read the VN a few times, Seeing those common route antics animated, even if they were at times thrown together haphazardly, was pretty nice. I admitedly laughed at some of the more juvenile antics. Personally, I found this episode to be much better than the first, but it was still incredibly rushed. Honestly its just a bit saddening when i think about the kind of experience the anime only crowd is getting in comparasion to the Visual Novel itself, and i often feel this way with VN adaptions of things i've read. Sparteh said: Tyrel said: Don't think it's really been confirmed that it'll be 13 episodes only (As a whole. Unless we go by the BDs). People have gone on about how a seiyuu implied it'd be more during the live event. MAL says it is 13. Also, even though that this is just a feeling, but Rewrite gives me the same vibe as Angel Beats or Charlotte which were both 13 episodes long I'm honestly hoping that they'll animate TERRA un-rushed in its own seperate season. But its quite possible they'll cram it in somehow in the last 2-3 episodes. |

Sillferyr said: Or better yet, just read the VN before watching some rushed loli adaptation by 8bit. i should probably do that. My backlog is huge tho... |

Okay, maybe I exaggerated a bit, but there are some and this is not one of them. And an adaptation has to be good on it's own right. It's not necessary to be completely faithful to the source. It's a different medium. |

That would require 5-6 seasons... |

| That fart moment. I laughed my ass off, LOL. OP and ED were great to listen to, and we got to see more best girl Akane. It's obvious it was rushed, but hell, it was really enjoyable. It seems like they pretty much gathered all the members. |
  |
| Nothing out of the ordinary so far. However, I love Kagari, so far she is the main reason I am watching this series. I like her kind of mysterious character. |
 |
| I loved the OP and ED I lol on Shizuru's ringtone good ep hope it gets more better |

I don't disagree that this is incredibly rushed. The absolute minimum this show could've been pulled off without being "Too rushed" was 26 episodes. I'm not disputing that, however a slower paced TERRA done in at minimum 10 episodes, would still be decent (especially if you've read the VN). It wont make the preceding rushed adaption any better, but at least it would redeem itself somewhat. Then again, that is more or less my selfish desire though. |

I really don't blame first time watchers for dropping this as the anime has a myriad of issues already. It's just sad to see yet another adaptation of a VN I enjoyed lazily fanservicing those who have already played the VN in favour of maybe producing a competent anime that is a good representative of the source material where those who are not fond of reading hefty VNs can enjoy too. |
| That was a very fun episode, i enjoyed this. |
| And this is supposed to be Key's greatest VN? Even Clannad entertained me more. Two episodes in and this feels more disjointed than Angel Beats and Charlotte put together. What the hell is going on in this show? So far this seems like "key's Greatest Hits" minus the greatest. You have all the traditional moe girls Key stuff is known for but plot is nowhere near comprehensible. Also the pacing is still weird. This feels like a recap episode yet again, except it is not. 2/5. This might be a three episode rule at most if this continues to be this confusing and nonsensical. |

Thats because Rewrite's plot is very "unique" and different from other Key works. I respect your opinion, but don't judge an entire 50+ hours worth of content in just 2 episodes. Even if this is following a new route, its the same feeling that the Vn has in its initial moments, so you should be patient and wait for the plot to unfold. If you don't wanna wait, why not read an non-spoiler free synopsis of the history? just google it and your problems will be solved. |
