Will Rewrite become anime of this season or will people easily dismiss it as a generic harem?

If the rest of the episodes are as long as the first I wouldn't mind Rewrite to be only one cour tbh. I liked the first episode but I do agree it was pretty rushed despite its length though. The animation could've been better but I don't think that tentacle monster was the worst of it. They probably wanted that to be in the uncanny valley and I understand that since it's something I would try to achieve too.

The characters seem interesting, although I miss the snarkyness of most Key protagonists. Kotarou doesn't seem to have any. It's also more action packed than I remember other Key anime were (only watched Air and Clannad so far so it might be my own ignorance). Then again I watch Key anime for the feels, which you can't expect in the first two episodes anyway. It might get better with time just like lots of other anime.

Don't worry, it won't be a generic harem. The VN isn't, even though it's a mostly female characters. Recommend checking this out: https://kagari.moe/

I'll give it a few more episodes before I dismiss it as a poorly written show with terrible direction.
Which it'll no doubt be if it stays on the same track as episode 1.

Best VN ever written? Someone hasn't read Umineko or Steins Gate...

And why be pissed if its not the highest rated anime of the season?

Haven't watched the first ep yet but typically these kind of anime are average at best, see Clannad and Angel Beats.

Did I miss something? Because the only thing that blew me away about episode one of Rewrite was how bad it was. There's already way too many girls to keep track of (especially when we've only got one cour to work with - Air had much fewer girls, and even then that was too much), the school uniforms are somehow even more ridiculous than the rest of the Key VNs, none of the characters' personalities stand out from the ones in, say, Kanon or Air (like how the Clannad characters are all so lovable and memorable), the show has a poor understanding of how gravity works (cough cough jumping over that gate), the show throws all these confusing things at me one after the other and expects me to understand them (Where is he now? Why? Who are these fairies? What's this big thing? What's the logic behind this? WHY DOESN'T HE QUESTION WHY HE HAS BITE MARKS ON HIS ARM? WHY DOESN'T HE QUESTION ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS?)... I found so many things to dislike about it already, and I really want to know why everyone thinks it's so great. To me, so far (even accounting for the fact that the adaptation probably sucks), Rewrite doesn't seem like the "best VN ever." It's not even the best Key VN ever (Clannad is).

Somebody, please put me in my place. I'm the kind of brain-damaged monkey who can't drop anything he starts. Please, give me a reason to enjoy this anime every week!


Well this sounded... awefully extreme. I mean we don't know how relevant most of the introduced characters will be based off the first episode. Inoue for example (news reporter girl) isn't that relevant. The school uniform that's just a matter of fashion sense. When the main character was bitten he didn't need to question it, since ya know, he SAW himself get bitten. His solution to this problem was to attempt contacting the witch which he does at the end of the episode. Last thing though, yeah the whole scene when he went to the school and got attacked etc, etc, was confusing. But I don't think we were expected to understand what was happening. The whole time Kotarou was like "What the hell is going on?! What is this?! Someone help!!!" If the main character doesn't grasp the situation I don't think the viewer needs to either. If it's not explained at some point it'll be a problem, but if it is the anime will probably get way more interesting from there.

Rewrite isn't like other Key's stuff, thats why is praised so much.

The plot is very philosophical and also with loads of plot-twists and dark themes.

You can even compare Rewrite with Evangelion (Moon route is more psychological than Eva btw)

So yeah, its one of the best VNs out there.

Rewrite is the weakest on the feels department lol

Don't get me wrong, it has some pretty emotional moments..not feelsy like Planetarian or Kanon, but it has.

(Planetarian btw is the most depressing thing on this earth)

Funny enough the route in the game that was met with the highest praise was Ryukishi07's (Umineko writer).

Now Rewrite of course doesn't even hold a remote candle to Umineko but it can be fun.

Rose Guns Days (also written by Ryukishi07). Though it is kind of hollywood action visual novel with a lot of political intrigue, but it's still has solid characters and development.

Swan Song- Only if you can handle very dark stuff though (It's 18+ as well). It's not done for the sake of being edgy like most dark visual novels though.

Dangan Ronpa 1/2 - Mainly for the solid pacing and gameplay.

House of Fata Morgana- But only if you like gothic tales.

Unfortunately there aren't many good visual novels in the world. Checking out the zero escape series might be fun as well.

Let's just accept the fact that Key's magic is already gone since after KyoAni adaptations.

Angel Beats and Little Busters are good.

But I think Charlotte is the worst.

I'm referring to the 'feels' department.
I consider Air, Kanon and Clannad as Masterpiece. But after AS the magic is gone.

but I don't hate J.C. Staff and P.A. Works

Actually tbh, for my end I didn't really felt the "feels" department for the first two. Yes of course there was some drama into it but then it just felt rather flat to me (for Air and Kanon 2006), the only one I can consider their heart wrenching one would be Clannad and thats just saying something, but then again that's just me.

Well, I didn't meant that you hated them, it just sounded rather hypocritical in some way at first? Or rather confusing.

Not the anime of this season I think, even though I am a huge fan of the visual novel.
Not that I am going to go crazy and say how people underrate this show because I know people who don't play this game get confused for what's happening in the 1st episode and dislike by default because of 8-bit and "harem". Meanwhile, fans can't help but being bias at some points or completely bias.
The animation quality is already a lost cause from the beginning so it's not much to talk about it except how bad 8-bit works on CGI and how some scenes look unexpectedly good and cute. I really honestly wish White Fox made this anime.
The anime inserts some stuffs that are from Moon route and Terra route, which are after you finished all 5 routes, in order to create mystery and make people curious about the story but it backfires somehow.
Some people I know complain why having stuffs like the dinosaurs, cave men, and others thing that make no sense in the beginning. Well, you will understand that if the anime shows what happens in Moon route.
Lucia introduction is rushed and bad. But I think everyone's introduction is rushed at some point, because that's what 47 minutes episode 1 is for (trying to push as much as they can from common route in 1 episode and say it's special).
But I think having Kagari appears at school and Kotarou's flashback some memories of the past and Moon route, then running endlessly in the other dimension, then he escapes the place after Kagari being so badass and meets the witch of the school, is not actually a bad move to make disinterest people may think they should give another try... or make them completely give up on this.
As a fan of the visual novel, I just wait what happen next and pray 8-bit not screwing around with us.

I'm pretty sure that this will boost up in the ranks a lot by the end of the season.

People are just hating now because they don't have anything better to do. After all these years, people still don't know what foreshadowing means.

Like yeah, let us have all the answers about what is going on in the first episode, because Rewrite is such an easy story to understand, right?

I'm curious of what is this "sixth route" gonna be, Kagari route?
I think the anime advertises people to buy the visual novel like the upcoming Rewrite+(with the rumor English release on Steam) more than they actually try to make a fabulous adaptation. I mean the depth of Rewrite is not something you do in 13 episodes, even if there will be ss2.

It's too early to judge so.
Also, implying that things should be explained in one episode. :T

Not going to defend the adaptation, but throwing stuff right off the bat kind of will tick people off.

I'm curious to hear your arguments to sustain this opinion. Not that VN are my most favorite thing either, and honestly I might skip this show, but hey, if this other guy persuaded me to read this harem about a guy that pays 5000 yen for a room and gets invaded by cute ghosts, you might change my mind on this one.


This interests me, too. I'm not hating, just curious what people like so much about it that the hype was/is so big. Because reading the TV Tropes article about it didn't clue me in, unfortunately.
And yeah, I don't mind spoilers.

First off, thanks for the answer.
So from your comment I take it that it is mostly the setting and the ideas behind it, that make people enamored with the VN? That does make sense, thank you!

That reminds me of how Clannad and the "orbs" work, if my information is precise. It's the same company that made both really. Thanks mate, it looks interesting and the idea is a topic I like. I hope the series can capture that thing you mention.

I think I won't like the execution, but nevertheless, thanks a lot for your time.

One thing i forgot to mention:



Yeah, Rewrite has a big plot going on and it has a lot of philosophical messages about humanity and hope. Like i said, i won't spoil you any more than this because it woudn't make sense for you to watch XD but you should know that this is just the basic of what Rewrite really is.

May all your visuals novels conclude with a nice ending.

How am I suppose to do this without spoiling you? How about playing the damn thing yourself or watch some youtube footage of the VN and I already said PROBABLY because I know some fanboy will get triggered and disagree if I did said it's best Visual Novel ever written.

And here is the opening for the VN so this will give you an idea what the series is all about without completely spoiling you.

I will agree with you on the "brain-damaged monkey" part. Everything else - just wait and see. For god's sake. MC already said that he can step on an "accelerator". He knows supernatural stuff exists. So he probably knows that he has some sort of power. The crab thing and the fairies? Those were from a parallel dimension that he somehow got into. I think that was even said as in like "this dimension is falling apart".

Ofc you can't connect anything yet if you haven't read the VN. So you should just try JUST a little bit and use your brain. Nothing in Rewrite defies physics. If it feels like that, then you're simply struggling to understand what's happening.

And, serious? Too many girls? oh crap... so, getting to know 6 girls (the journalist girl is pretty irrelevant), 1 teacher, 2 fairies, a goth"loli" and 1 delinquent is too much for you? Mind that this was a 48 minute episode. Geez, glad I'm not responsible for directing any anime. I'd probably fail because the audience would apparently be too dumb to understand anything unless I literally dump a ton of info through poor dialogue.

If you're already reading it from what I've seen of the anime so far it's best you finish it before watching. You'll probably enjoy Rewrite more that way.

Just finished episode 2. It seems like episode 3 is about Kotori, and I am quite surprised to hear Sasayaka na Hajimari as ED song for the anime. The OP has scenes from Terra and Moon route doesn't seem bad at all.
I remember I laughed quite a lot about Tomoko but the anime doesn't do that scene very well, but oh well.

I don't think people will dismiss it as a generic harem anime, after the first very underwhelming episode, I wouldn't be surprised that people will dismiss it as a generic anime, the harem thing doesn't shouldn't be the problem here.

I'll give it a try and watch to at least the episode 6, but if I would went more casual way, I wouldn't watch the second episode.

Also, great VN doesn't mean that the anime adaptation will also be, it doesn't matter how good the story is if everything else isn't up to par.

'Feels' don't automatically equate to quality. Rewrite's VN is a prime example


Yes, this makes sense. I didn't find Rewrite's VN to be as feelsy as other Key works, but I personally think it has a better story than other Key works.


I think that rewrite is pretty sad as well. I cried.......... (at every route damn)

Rose Guns Days (also written by Ryukishi07). Though it is kind of hollywood action visual novel with a lot of political intrigue, but it's still has solid characters and development.

Swan Song- Only if you can handle very dark stuff though (It's 18+ as well). It's not done for the sake of being edgy like most dark visual novels though.

Dangan Ronpa 1/2 - Mainly for the solid pacing and gameplay.

House of Fata Morgana- But only if you like gothic tales.

Unfortunately there aren't many good visual novels in the world. Checking out the zero escape series might be fun as well.


How can you forget the greatest visual novel which is muv luv trilogy?


Because the Muv Luv Trilogy is 50 hours of boredom followed by maybe 20 hours of compelling read. You literally have to have the patience of a saint to be able to enjoy it or are just a hardcore visual novel fan.

Regardless the story, character are dull as sin outside of Yuuko and it makes Rewrite even look like a good story in comparison.

Except that Rewrite is a good story. An amazing one at that.

No, it will not. Were there any anime with story written by Romeo became anime of the season? None. Just see the viewers number of Humanity has Declined in MAL. Romeo's works are great but they only have a small readerbase.
