Some people already know about it, and this thread may get taken down later due to "advertising", but I don't care lol, people who don't know should be informed. The Rewrite anime adaptation was announced just after the last episode of Charlotte aired.

What the hell? That storyline is just to vast and convoluted. I seriously doubt the adaptation will be any good.

I'm gonna have to agree that even though I'm hyped, it's hard for me to expect greatness from this adaptation... the Rewrite visual novel is insanely long (one of the longest VNs) so lots of content will be cut out (please please please at the very least, do not make the anime just 13 episodes... make it at least 2-cour, preferably longer), and its divergent plot structure would be very difficult to adapt into a linear story.

8-bit is the studio? Oh and look at that the same director as Grisaia no Kajitsu which was also terribly adapted and rushed. Whelp rip any potential this had. It'll be Little Busters all over again.

The visual novel was amazing, but JC Staff fucked up the first season so much I'm still angry almost 3 years later.

8-bit may have rushed Kajitsu but they made up for it with Rakuen.

I'd like to hope it will be a lesson learned for them as they have a chance at another hit series.

Rakuen is like 15-20 hours long and completely linear

That is hardly on the same level as Rewrite in terms of difficulty to adapt properly so I'm afraid that doesn't really mean much

I don't even know how they're even going to adapt it at all. Each route has vastly different effects on the story so unless they just pick one route and change things to suit it, its going to be a confusing mess.

They'll have to do some sort of Omnibus adaptation where they loop back in time (or at least appear to) between every route. In other words kind of simulating the experience of multiple playthroughs

This has been done before in other VN adaptations such as Amagami SS and Yosuga no Sora

I don't know, that doesn't seem like it would work very well for Rewrite. We'll have to see I guess. Who knows maybe 8-bit will surprise us all, though I'm not holding my breath.

I'm interested in what 8-Bit will do with Rewrite. Better do something AT LEAST the level of Grisaia no Rakuen. Also, 2.4:1 aspect ratio like Rakuen would be great for ultrawide monitors lol

Fair enough, did you enjoy Refrain? I thought it wrapped up everything nicely.

Well *different* would be the first thing to say. It's more like Key's version of Fate/Stay Night

As for which is best, people tend to be rather split. If you prefer emotional dramas, then Clannad and LB are better. If you prefer something more supernatural/mystery-oriented, then Rewrite is the way to go

As far as ratings go though, all three of them are in the top 11 on VNDB so it's pretty close if you look at the overall public opinion

It didn't sell as well in as Clannad and LB in Japan though

On thing to add also; Lucia's route is the most reminiscent of past Key works. It's also the most popular route, so there you go.

Is it? I'd say that it's the most unique one, I don't remember horror elements in other Key routes.

No but it's also the most 'tear-jerking drama'-esque route of Rewrite at least, which is kind of what Clannad and LB are most famous for being

Yeah, that's what I was referring to. The classic 'Key' feels and stuff.

I honestly just try and block out the adaptation, but from what I can remember it wasn't butchered as bad as the first season. It wasn't perfect by any means. As others have mentioned, the Rin 2 route was rushed to the point of basically not being adapted. You got some pictures at the end of an episode during the end song I think. And then you have Masato's story and his parting which was poorly done. And then the bus crash wasn't done correctly. Everything else I thought was fine. I have it on my favorites just for the sole purpose of hopefully getting people interested in it if they come across it and maybe check out the novel because, in my opinion, Refrain was Key's best work.

If we're just talking about individual routes, then yeah I think most people would agree on Refrain being their peak

I still prefer Rewrite over LB as a whole though since it's consistently entertaining on a much higher level even if it never peaks quite as high as LB does (or Clannad for that matter)

I can see that, but I personally still prefer Little Busters over Rewrite as a whole simply because I felt like some of the routes in Rewrite were poorly done or just bad *cough*Kotori*cough*. The common route was great though.

Kotori's route is kind of an introductory route to the greater truth of the situation though

Hence why it's so highly recommended to be played first

Regardless of whether it's an introductory route or not they could have at least made it more interesting. It just felt like it dragged on forever without anything really happening.
