That little restaurant scene is cute. We even got a mini Shizuru making an appearance!



The emotions and drama escalated in the second half. Oh Kotori...
I think there's one more episode left? The whole saving the world thing is getting to its climax pretty soon so I'm excited.

Why are you even here then? i don't get it.

Anyway, badass episode. They changed some stuff like Lucia being with them at the restaurant and how Onishi's death was played, but still pretty good pacing overall.

Next week is going to be memorable. Can't wait for it!

Felt really rushed but that Kotarou vs. Esaka fight was really cool. Short but sweet with a nice stylistic choice of showing the options back-to-back.

Kotarou straight full savage mode against Kotori. I guess it was done to prevent Kotori from further pursuing him and getting involved in the mess.

Decent episode.

It was sad seeing Koutarou treat Kotori like that. :(

Well the action was pretty cool I guess. Koutarou takes down Esaka, I liked how the choices were shown. That was really nice.

Now hopefully Koutarou can save the world by showing Kagari some fond memories.

Horrendous animation mainly in esaka vs kotarou, a such important scene.

Is this really as Kotarou killing Kotori's parents happened in the VN? I remember it being more dramatic, not only this Kotori rage.

They removed small dialogues which were nc in the VN (like esaka dialogue before the fight) to add anime original stuff ...

Terra isn't working in this amount of episodes, bad pacing showed up, don't lie to yourself guys.

Decent episode, i don't know if it was supposed to be so, but felt like so much stuff was rushed.
Kotarou got even more dark, i think it was to keep Kotori out of all of this, i hope so.
I thought it was rather strange that no one suspected a thing about Kotarou, and especially Esaka, well there we go.

First of all, I want to say I rated this a 5/5.

The only parts that actually surprised me was that they didn't have Kotarou saying that Kotori's parents were sapping away her life, or Esaka asking whose side he was on, when he responded "Tennouji Kotarou's."

Being one of the staff that worked on the visual novel translation makes this a pretty unique experience for me.

What a bad episode. Rushed and with bad animation (it isn't surprise). Seriously this staff doesn't know how to make impactful deaths. Mikuni, Luis, Kotori's parents and Esaka (among others) deaths were just... bad. I didn't feel anything, they just happened.

And I don't understand why so many people are saying that the Kotarou vs Esaka fight was good. The fight lasted 30 seconds and was poorly animated.

Why she has to be an eyesore? I think it will have more sense if they showed loli Lucia(And Chihaya too) on the final route given they're heroines, since they weren't on the VN due to they're not Tanaka's characters. And it can't be help that this episode is rush as hell so they can't portray Shizuru's character much on this episode.

This. So this. Luis death scene was the unholy grail of a fuckness. It was so memorable in the VN. And yet again they fucked it up. It was the 2nd season's worst scene. Even Moon's finale and the "great" (lol) battle were better.

It is explained in the VN everything Kotarou did to hide his double agent actions and he did ok, Esaka probably realized he was betraying them exactly the moment he saw him before their fight, or maybe a little earlier that same day.

Before Kotarou vs Esaka in the VN they didn't say anything at all, Kotarou said in his mind they didn't need words, he was a traitor and that's it, pull the trigger. But anyway yeah the fight was just garbage, at least compared to the epicness I imagined while reading the VN, like Esaka's impossible chain combos, Kotarou's godly reaction speed to Esaka's unexpected abilities, the stealing of each others posibilities, anyway they ruined a potentially epic fight.

I'm not gonna lie to myself. It's rushed. Not enough episodes for Terra (Moon was rushed too), horrendous art and garbage animation, stupid/unnecessary alterations, best scenes from VN are butchered beyond belief, and that god awful OP song from hell. But it's still way... WAY!!!!! better than that abysmal first season.

This is a great anime that could've been a masterpiece.
Stop saying that it butchered the anime, YES IT DID BUTCHERED MANY GREAT SCENES. But it did things right.

IMO It's a great adaptation and the director is doing a good job.

anyway, 8/10 episode it needs more Kotori.
They should've made the death of esaka more memorable and slight pacing issues. + shizuru shouldn't be smiling it doesn't make sense and Lucia shouldn't be there.

The 2nd season is directed by nobody.

Also, "great anime"? "could've been a masterpiece"? Yeah, in White Fox's hands, with 50+ episodes.

Adding the kotori route scene in episode 1 was already enough for me .

Rewrite got real gruesome this week, and I love it! It's nowhere near being amazing or anything, but I'm content with seeing my favourite scenes getting animated (even the way they look).


I wish there were route when they could just be together and relax ;_; HF doesn't count.

Btw, why did Kotarou adress Jasmine "Matsurika" in his message? O.o I completely don't remember it from the vn.

Definitely the worst episode of this season. Felt extremely rushed, and the Esaka vs. Kotarou fight was a poor joke. The conversation between them after the fight felt forced, unnatural and... very awkward. Exactly the opposite of what was in the VN. Well, I didn't expect anything good from 8-s--t. I'm still disappointed though. Had thought that I could give at least 6/10 but... after this episode, it definitely won't happen.

In the VN it came out of nowhere too, so we have to speculate. My opinion is that maybe that is her true name and Jasmine was some nickname she had for some reason, or maybe and more likely they are calling each other by nicknames while in the chat room, in the VN Kotarou scolds her for calling him by his name in that chat.

Proper adults I know are at the very least polite towards others, even younger people, and they can respect their opinions. I'd rather stay 12 forever than become a whiny old man who keeps shitting on others and acts like he's the only enlightened one lol.
Just being older doesn't magically make anyone mature, I guess.

It was nice to see him protect Kotori. He was harsh, but he had no choice to be sure that she would not help him.

Rushed rushed rushed, everything everybody always says is that something is RUSHED.
It's becoming a meaningless phrase because there's like 8 different things someone could actually be referring to when they say something is "rushed" (ex: bad directing, awkward editing, poor transitions, bad pacing [Not the same thing!] )
Like, say what you actually feel about something instead of using the vaguest,most general term to describe how you feel.

Well yeah true but they don't know that xD. Or maybe it is her true name as Matsurika means something like Jasmine in japanese, BUT is she japanese? maybe she is? I guess we'll never know why he called her that then u_u.

What most people here, including myself, are bitter about is that the anime could have been so much better, that it had so much potential as a story to make into an anime, but the studio just couldn't make a good adaptation and instead made someting that imo is pretty meh even as a standalone. That there are many VN adaptations that were masterpieces and we can compare their animes with their VNs and say they were almost the same or even better, and Rewrite's should have been one of them, but it just wasn't and so everyone rages. But anyway if you think it's good then don't let anyone bother you and just go say you loved it, you're opinion should be respected because everyone is different, ignore anyone that doesn't.

Ah-ha! I think I've got the answer! I did some research on Japanese wiki, and guess what - matsurika (マツリカ) is basically a Japanese name for Jasminum sambac, flower species known also as "Arabian jasmine"... Well now suddenly it makes sense :D
