| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Lol Sougen is cool, what a gentleman. Looks like Tennouji got a good scare from Kagari. What a cute bite! Shizuru is adorable this episode too. Not my favorite character in this series but kinda glad to see the show focus on her more. Good way to develop her character and showing her past, which isn't quite pleasant ;_;  |
 |
| In this ep we got to see Shizuru's past... Really heartbreaking story, Koibumi!!!! It seems next ep will be focus on Lucia, cant wait. |
     |
| Those of you wondering about the ending song they use Shizuru ending song this episode |

| Wait a minute, are they actually Condensing the character routes into one episode? |
SakurasouBusters said: Wait a minute, are they actually Condensing the character routes into one episode? Yup! Really badly too. Yay~! T_T |
SakurasouBusters said: Wait a minute, are they actually Condensing the character routes into one episode? No, they're not adapting the routes. |
SakurasouBusters said: no only the common route part of character route it ends after Shizuru tells her backstory.Wait a minute, are they actually Condensing the character routes into one episode? |

| This episode really makes me feel:( , its nice that they use the song from VN. |

SakurasouBusters said: Wow, Condensing 8 or 9 hour long rotes into one episode sounds like a great idea Great idea™ by 8bit, used before in Grisaia no Kajitsu. |
Jakerams said: SakurasouBusters said: No they just did a backstory from the early part of her route.Wow, Condensing 8 or 9 hour long rotes into one episode sounds like a great idea Which is a disgrace. And they had the balls to use Koibumi here. Well, enough is enough. |
| In vn Shizuru's backstory was really touching. Here I felt nothing. Nothing strange, amount of time for this was ridiculously small. I bet that most of people who don't know original story won't even understand what happened (ps. they waited many hours for her parents). Not mentioning about whole CD situation, and how many things they changed. I really want to write something positive but I just can't. |

| Kagari enters, does something SUPER ADORABLE, then rolls out. Best part of the episode. |

| What now, VN readers? Make up your mind and help me out here because it surely seems so that different routes are being compiled (i only have the knowledge that there are routes for every person). Nevertheless, i enjoyed this episode the most by far. ''Scattered Flowers'' and ''Scene Shifts There'' got played, wonderful tracks, i listened to the OST beforehand and was a fan immediately. |

This adaptation is a rushed mess. We're going to get to Lucia's backstory next episode it seems. We are confirmed a Lucia vs Shizuru fight. IDK how this is going to work at all. Is this what Tensho meant by "each girl will each get the spotlight"? Because if it is, this is like Grisaia no Kaijitsu again. After we go through Lucia's, we have Chihaya, Akane, and Kotori next. How many episodes will that leave Kagari? |
| Oh god whyyyyyyy Now this is seriously like Kajitsu all over again Why on Earth are we going into a tl;dr version of Shizuru's backstory all of a sudden? Why is the ending so obviously implying that they're going to do the same with Lucia's next week? Why does this pattern indicate that they're most likely doing the same with the other three as well (fuck knows how that'll work out with Kotori and Akane given how their routes start but that's a different matter) I thought this was supposed to be anime original? Do you really need to give us condensed versions of all the heroines' backstories in one episode each? That's 5/13 episodes wasted right there. I mean even if it's just the backstories and not their actual routes themselves it's still useless. Sure, giving the other girls some characterization is fine, but jesus you've only got 13 episodes to work with here. Give them their spotlight in their everyday scenes from the common route like you did in the first three episodes and then proceed to Kagari's route, don't waste time by half-assedly taking snippets from the other routes just because you can. The pacing is all over the place this way Fucks sake... |

Don't listen to Gotry, they're just adapting the common part of each heroine route it seems. Kagari is still the main heroine and the anime will be focused on her later on. |
| What's with this weird ass pacing? It's getting unnatural to see. |

News flash - no one cares anymore! |
| It wasn't so bad as I thought, but it's the worst episode so far. Koibumi? seriously? The song lost all meaning and impact here... I'm really mad because of this. Well... this episode confirms that it's another Grisaia. Tensho doesn't learn from his mistakes lol |

Agreed with you 100%. I was so hopeful that Tensho and 8bit wouldn't repeat Grisaia, but THIS IS JUST like Grisaia all over again! WTF?! I'm pissed off now. After this disaster ends (if they do a second season), I'm officially boycotting 8bit's VN adaptations from now on. There are inept. And we still have Lucia, Akane, and Kotori left? How many episodes does that leave Kagari? 4 episodes? Fuck this. At least I'm used to this with Grisaia...but this still hurts. |

But oh God, the rush of how the characters speak to each other and the story telling itself, it looks so unnatural to the point it's unbearable to watch. I feel I'm watching Little Busters anime's Haruka's route again. |
|
Yeah, it's Kagari route, so I don't understand why the girls are getting their backstories here. I don't remember that Akane got her backstory on Kotori route neither Lucia on Chihaya route. |
| Looks like we've entered the tragic backstory phase, and Shizuru's certainly was tragic, to just be forgotten that way. :( Looks like class rep is up next... |

| Story about Shizuru and her power, it really sad knowing about her past too. |

| Alright. That Koibumi overkilled me. Dropping this shit as hard as I can. That fucking director, really. |
Gildesh said: Alright. That Koibumi overkilled me. Dropping this shit as hard as I can. That fucking director, really. Same here, so +1... I guess. |
| This episode feels rushed and different, but it doesn't take away much from the story. I still felt emotional, and in that scene where Shizuru looked back at Kotarou...oh gosh. And yea it seems like they're gonna go for one episode per heroine, just to show their backstory. It feels nice and since I like Lucia so much, I'm excited to see how they'd tell her story. But daaaamn people, this definitely is a new story because if you're gonna watch this and compare it to any of the routes in the VN, you're just gonna get so lost (definitely just not me hahaha) because some of the things don't make any sense. I mean, how they logically arrange the story. Probably the only thing I didn't like much about this episode is how, suddenly, Shizuru sort-of admits to Kotarou her "powers". Like wtf how did we suddenly get to the part where Shizuru actually knows that Kotarou is aware of superpowers and stuff. (and Akane looked a little bit weird in one scene hahaha) |
*under construction* |
| 10/10 koibumi insert esaka's quirk wasn't really funny in the anime welp I don't really care for this adaptation we all expected it to suck I'm here for the nostalgia its really recommended that you read the vn if you have time |

AzureSymphony said: Judging by the comments here it sounds like they're pulling a Grisaia with this adaptation, which is a shame. This episode has sold me on playing Rewrite+ whenever Key finish localising it, I want to at least read Shizuru's route. Don't mind the haters dude, they're not doing it like Grisaia. They didn't even get into her route, its just some of her backstory from the common route. But I'll admit that its actually pretty funny to see these comments from the elitists VN readers XD The episode itself was solid btw, don't listen to them. |

I don't know what are you taking with your food but I want that too. Double dose if possible. This whole episode was stupid, made no fucking sense and... I don't like it. And that goddamn Koibumi insert. Just burn in flame shit, 8bit. |
HaXXspetten said: Now this is seriously like Kajitsu all over again Guys, what are you talking about, in Grisaia they spent at least 2 episodes for each route, in Rewrite 1 episode=1 common route. It's different, this is worse, lol. (And Grisaia was way more enjoyable than Rewrite as an Anime-only watcher) |
| As a non VN reader, it really feels like they are just blazing through the story at lightspeed. One moment its just slice of pointlessness and then next minute they drop the whole backstory on our face with character dialogue sped up 1.5x times. |

But in any case this was just Shizuru's backstory, not her actual route so no Kajitsu is still worse for now (though I'll admit that from an anime-only POV that was probably more fun to watch since Grisaia's themes are easier to digest without much explanation provided) |

And your point on introducing the characters in the everyday scenes. I mean yea they could also do that, but it will look like everything is just scattered all over the place. They're just gonna get more mixed up and there'd be more confused fans, imo |
