| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Damn that was a close call for Tennouji...at least he was aware of what he was dealing with or those wolves would of tore him apart. Lol, 3D-3GI dragons..yeah idk how I feel about that. The way Lucia fought them was a nice sight to see though imo. Tennouji did good this episode but that revelation about Gaia will probably haunt him.  |

| SPOILER ALERT! KOTAROU IS THE NEW WOLVERINE!!! |
| Best episode, things will be a lot clearer for anime-onlies now. And keep this in mind: GAIA IS NOT EVIL. |
| Im still waiting for this song! Also this episode was good, but still, ep 4 is my favorite. |
| Omg it could be their best episode, and they ruined it. I'm a stupid expecting something decent from this. |
| By far the best episode. Remember, i'm an anime only, so don't shove your insights of the VN and how it's so much better in my face please. |

| Yoshino, holy shit at the end. This guy made sure to have Kotarou well. Very nice of him. The soundtrack played at the end, so good. |
| Anybody can answer Kotarou's question? LOL Oh my, "magical" claw out of nowhere? And that battle against velociraptor-thingy, this is just getting better and better. |

| Intense episode, Wasn't expecting all the blood. Koutarou got some new powers. The dragons looks really weird in CG, The wolves were fine but the dragons were just awkward. As I thought, Akane is from Gaia and Chihaya as well. Sad that the group had to split up over a difference in allegiance :( Kotori seems to know more than she lets on. Nice of Yoshino to checkup on Koutarou. |
 |
| Probably the best episode of the whole series thus far. Main gripe would be the awkward CG. Thread Cleaned Off-topic spam messages removed. |
 |
| Agreed on the fact that it's the best episode yet. I also can't see either organisation as "evil" and to be it seems like they simply have drastically different goals they want to achieve( I have no idea and is anime only right now so don't spoil me). |

| This episode totally rocks! It's November 13th, the feeling returns so vividly than ever, even I just replayed the VN weeks ago. Good wine tastes better with age! |

| +Great Shots +Great backgrounds +Nice sense of despair and helplessness +Good introduction to the conflict +Yoshino at the end +Aurora looks very cool +Some nice directing at the Kotarou vs Hounds part -Derpy af -Unpolished CG -Horrible Sound directing/effects -Why tf did they use "Sasayaka na Hajimari" in such an episode? -The Lucia/Shizuru vs Raptors fight was pretty weak in directing Overall an okay episode tbh, could have been better, maybe they will fix some of these issues in the BD ver anyways here are some of my favorite shots     |
| After the events of this episode, it looks like things are finally about to get interesting in this anime. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| I'm starting to get the feeling those Gacia guys aren't that bad |

Especially with the direction in hounds scene vs raptor scene. Kotarou vs hounds + Aurora set the tone very well, but the raptor scene didn't do very good at bridging the gap between it and the leaf dragon. The hound scene was way more important though so I'm glad it was this way. Kotarou's anguish and Kotori's desperation were conveyed very well though, enough to save the episode from all the minuses. Even the CG leaf dragon.. Kotori's lines broke me, so good job there. Hopefully they follow up on that properly. |

This shot in particular was very nice! However... Good god, what an awful episode in my opinion. Directing is god-awful here, it just made me want to drop the whole thing. Expression and timing are SUPER cringy, I was in a pretty good mood and I don't tend to nitpick, but it was jarring. I am thoroughly disappointed, timing wasn't THIS bad in other episodes. Timing and directing are the most important things to make scenes meaningful, and here it's all over the place. The best scene was the dogs'. |
| It's a pity, but without proper build up and execution, Kotarou's rambling about their friendship and the club seemed kinda forced to me. It really sucks they rushed things so much earlier on, but unfortunately there isn't enough time to do a much better job with 13 episodes only anyway. It's just hard to care about certain things when you're not invested in the characters and their relationship. This episode did get interesting after that though. It seemed pretty weird that those dinosaurs were pretty much chilling while Shizuru healed Kotarou and merely stared at Lucia. But the overall tension throughout the episode was nice. |

These all stood out to me as well, especially Kotarou at the end. I mean he's gotta be lethargic after all he just went through, but the direction sucked there. Akane sitting on the log unphased can be somewhat explained though, as the episode explored. edit: jesus christ murasa give it a fucking rest already |
|
| This is the best episode so far, tbh the CG wasn't that bad, i thought it was gonna be worse but its ok, now thar common route is over i wonder what happens next, the way it looks so far it might be kotori who he sees again but who knows anyway its getting better, the whole episode wasn't rushed and didn't expect them to skip the OP which is great, they shoukd have took out the ED since it really didn't fit the mood, OP would have been better or even fit a few more minutes worth of content but overall im happy with this episode, really want to see the BD quality for the CG though since it may be better. |

Japan needs more good animators. Maybe one day me, @iNVivO and @Zinogrejin will personally direct a remake of Rewrite!!!!!! |

Akane didn't care though which shows more hints about Akane although she could at least react i know what u mean. |

| What a nice episode, I'm kind of in a lost for words. Or maybe not quite... The animation in this episode. The CGs on their own was nice. The hand-drawn animation are nice too, individually. Together, tho...that's another story. It felt so awkward I wanted to move away from the screen (but of course I didn't do that) The CGs spoiled it a little for me, but just a little 'cause man I'm still all praise for this episode. What's next what's next!! Now that Gaia and Guardian is out in the open and stuff. Lucia was just THE girl in this episode! But Akane is still my favorite, and I love the intro where she was sitting in her chair addressing the whole occult club. |

Murasa22 said: why isn't he hired by some studio yet then? internet is the place that everyone knows about everything while sitting their asses in front of a pc. I thank the compliment, but I really am not an expert, nor a good reviewer (as some might have noticed by my choice of words). It's impossible for a studio to hire me because of inumerous reasons, I'm not good enough and it's not my goal (though it is related to it). The problem is that the episode was just... Awful to me. Timing was all over the place and it ruined everything. Not to mention 2D blood on a 3D model... why. |
| Everyone needs to remember this is low budget 8bit so you shouldn't expect great animation 100% a studio like white fox could have pulled of the scene a lot better with hand drawn familiars which would look amazing but we just have to watch what we are given unless a better studio would adapt years later which is most unlikely. The point is dont expect a masterpiece but something that is good for what the studio can produce even if it is quite disappointing. |

While I do agree on the animation part, directing was horrible and even if you're poor, you can direct well. This was definitely not the case in this episode. I honestly feel pity for the studio because of the 13 episode constraint. |

Its still not 100% confirmed but if it is only 13episodes that would be disappointing however since its not doing well in Japan there most likely won't even want to make a second cour. |

| Tensho should do less directing and more OP storyboarding he really knows how to stage cool looking shots that fit with the music and knows how to direct montage scenes but he is not good at coming up with original visual ideas for dialogue scenes, he is great at action scenes though  |

| Finally, after the suffering of rush and god-awful characterization and direction on this so-called "adaptation" for the first 7 episodes is now over. Now, let's see this anime-original content and what it can deliver. Although I can pretty much say it's a good episode, if I compare it to the rest of episodes that is. |

Oh and also i made a mistake i meant to mention Tensho but in general the series is lacking good stuff which is another negative. |

The point is dont expect a masterpiece but something that is good for what the studio can produce even if it is quite disappointing. Nigga, the White Fox OP is obviously better because its just an OP and the staff had lots of time to produce it, not to mention that the familiars in it were mostly still frames except for the Earth Dragon scene and the Leaf Dragon's easy-to-animate slow-mo scene Rewrite being bad has nothing to do with the budget, its a scheduling problem, I mean bruh this episode had 11 Animation Directors, a normal anime episode usually has one Animation Director, do you know what 11 ADs mean?? Bad scheduling and tight time, the staff doesn't have enough time to completely polish the thing, I guess they are releasing it barely on time. |
| I think the raptors scene was unnecessary... if it went from hound to leaf dragon it would have flowed way better. In any case, it wasn't a bad episode, the directing was jarring at time but overall it felt like the VN. I would have preferred it if they did the blood sucking of the leaf dragon a little bit more intense though. |

They looked super good. Though the action scenes... I don't know, I really didn't like Lucia and Shizuru fighting. Flying Shizuru was weeeird. |

I agree, I remember when Rewrite was announced and it was scheduled for Summer. I thought it wasn't that bad since they probably started it already, but from the interviews that were translated it seemed like they started the script around winter iirc... which left them 2 season to start and finish everything... |

The Lucia/Shizuru fight lacked sense of space, the viewer doesn't know where each character stands, that fight scene was so inconsistent, its like the person on charge of this episode just randomly thought of random positions for the characters to be in instead of making it flow naturally |
