I can feel the butthurt. Just look at the key visual and imagine you don't know anything about the source material.
Would you really look forward to this?

I sure wouldn't de nano desu.
No butthurt here. It's just that since Rewrite came out, Key fans have been telling everyone that it deviates from what you'd expect based off of key visuals and staff. So it's funny that people still make these quick judgments.

I didn't like Jinrui at all, so I don't understand the appeal of Romeo's writing. The rest of the staff is straight-up horrible, though.

Cautious optimism. Staff looks good so all it comes down to really is episode count. If it gets the Clannad treatment then it should be fairly solid even if they do cut out a bit of fluff.

As long as Romeo is involved I'll give it a shot. Not a fan of the rest of the staff though.

Also Ryukishi07 wrote one of the routes in Rewrite. That should be reason enough for anyone to read the vn or watch the anime (if 8bit manage to adapt it well, but with Romeo Tanaka on the reigns, I have faith.) Maeda Jun wrote absolutely nothing in the Rewrite story, so it deviates QUITE A BIT from the usual nakige formula. It's a lot more different than you would think, so much so that I had trouble believing the same company that produced Clannad could produce something like Rewrite. But it's still one of the best visual novel's I've ever read. Cheers to the release of the anime!

LB wasn't that bad (I liked it too, it had Key's soul, I enjoyed it) , JC Staff is not bad studio in the end. 8bit is whole different level :/

Rewrite is more similar to Fate/Stay Night than it is to Clannad

A "proper" episode count for Rewrite would be about 50 or so. I highly doubt that's going to happen

Romeo Tanaka and Ryukishi07 are both great writers in their own right. But having read Rewrite and pretty much everything else from Key, It still has the same "Key" feel, although its does have its differences. My main concern with the adaption is more or less consistency of the routes, and having enough episodes to adapt it. The way i see it, You need atleast 2 cours for the character routes, an hour long, or 2 episode OVA for Moon, and 11-13 episodes for Terra Minimum to have a "good" adaption. Any less and it'll be horribly rushed because VN length of Rewrite is longer than LB, Afaik.

It's too early to tell how much we need to worry about the adaption without getting a look at the staff and what they've done. Its possible, and probable that this will be the best thing to come out of 8bit, but it would have been nice to get an established studio to do the adaption.

Because the anime wasn't really a good adaptation and i don't think you will understand the appeal of his writing unless you can read Japanese.

Looks like the industry really has decided the way to go is more Visual Novel and Cell Phone game adaptations for 2016. Like vaguely interested in this, primarily to see what a Key story looks like without Maeda's involvement for a bit and then if it's tolerable and short I might stick with it and see what all the buzz is about but truthfully not expecting much here at all.

So many announcements lately but ~almost~ nothing that catches my eyes :/


It's just tough to be super excited about anything for me other than maybe the prospect of a full Macross Delta unveiling soon. I'm just pretty old school I guess, I've never been hugely into visual novel stuff, the only ones I've really spent significant time with are the Phoenix Wright games so that one does interest me (it's not a Galge like 99% of the ones that get adapted for starters), but I've never gone out of my way to do one of the supposedly big god game visual novels of Japan and what I've seen of their adaptations have just never excited me nearly as much as they seem to others. I have no familiarity with most of their sources and most of the adapted anime just strike me as not having very good stories or characters.

Higurashi no Nako Kori Ni was one of the ones I can recall liking as was White Album 2 where the characters weren't super annoying and sympathetic. Steins;Gate and Fate/Stay Night were pretty solid as an anime but again in a very good as opposed to all time great sort of way, but the latter had it's own share of big annoying and unlikeable character problems too IMO. I have yet to really see anything from Key that I've had any particularly strong feelings towards besides a stretch of Clannad After Story and now looking back I wonder how I managed to get through that whole show because I doubt I'd last 5 episodes nowadays.

So yeah just hard for me to get super excited over a lot of this stuff, clearly it continues to have very fervent and extremely interested fans nowadays and is the dominant popular aspect of anime culture though as it seems like all the most hyperactive receptions for new anime announcements nowadays are some VN or LN by some apparently superstar writer or director I'm lucky if I've even heard of let alone know anything about.

Hopefully they realize only like 2 genres even do any good as cell phone adaptations and ditch the cell phone adaptation route soon.

It certainly does retain that Key feel, and nothing wrong with that, but imo for the most part it carries a much more defined toned than anything Maeda and doesn't fall to a lot of his usual tropes, which is why it stands out.

I think you're right on point with the episode format. A three cour would be ideal for common route-5 heroin routes, but realistically a 2-cour, OVA for moon, and 1-cour for terra is probably best case scenario for us.

if anyone played the VN for grisaia they can tell u that what the adaption did was give u the key elements and the purpose of what is suppose to be adapted. only thing u can disagree about is how yumiko's route was handled but other than that it got the essence of the game. of course 2 cours would have helped much more. and then the special and other season proved that they can do a good adaption of the VN.

looking at the tv announcement/playing the vn i can tell that 8bit, while may not be the best studio for the job certainly is a good one for it. i rather it go to 8bit than any other realistic choice. yes madhouse, white fox, kyoani, atm arent realistic choices. and i wouldnt want jc staff handling this for obvious reasons.

at the end of the day im excited for it and if it turns out to be 2 cour or longer (2 cour 2 seasons like clannad) i would be extremely happy.

i would like to speculate that this will be 2 cour....if we are judging by what key has done so far with VN ADAPTIONS (not the original works) only AIR was the 1 cour adaption.

Well the idea isn't for them to be good functional shows, but to advertise the games and the characters which are essentially the product since you pay to get the good cards with the sexiest and flashiest artwork on them. You can kind of think of it as sort of like Gundam or Precure series where they have to show off and demonstrate a certain number of model kits or toys as actual mecha or artifacts in the series and sometimes base scenarios around them only with less attempts to structure a more coherent ongoing plot and mythos around it all to mask the fact that that's essentially what they are doing for the most part. Just replace it with showing off a certain number of idols or certain number of heroes etc only that outside of Shingeki no Bamahut there's not much compelling evidence that anybody really knows how to make this stuff interesting as an actual show.

As for VN adaptations, I really think they rely a lot on you being familiar with the original source for the most part both as an entry level and to even understand what the fuck is going on most of the time in them which would be a reasonable enough expectation (the entry level part, not so much the not being able to understand shit) except that often it comes off as kind of a cliqueism thing to me where you have these select people that read the VN who like to feel important in the community by lurking around running a checklist of what the show chooses to adapt and what is coming up (who gives a shit if they spoil you, you're just a filthy secondary or casual to them anyway) and harassing newer viewers for just showing casual interest and daring to watch the show as a standalone and not knowing if or when it deviates from x source plot point or doesn't include y plot point they feel is crucial to understanding z, but goddammit if it happens they're going to tell you and be really petty about it. I remember Fate/Stay Night was absolutely brutal for that sort of thing and I actually just ended up completely abandoning all forum and fan contact and finishing the first half on my own just so I could get my own impression on it the way I damn well felt like thank you very much.

Anyway I think I have less of a problem with more VN adaptations than I do with how it enables one of the most annoying and overbearing elements of the anime fanbase more often than not. Too many fervent hyperactive fanboys in this sector that don't know when to back off and give other people room to breathe and see if a particular story that others might think is some sort of masterpiece is a right fit for them as an anime. Can't say I'm looking forward to much more of that.

This seems to be another one of those people that VN/LN writers absolutely rave about but that I haven't gotten much of an impression of either way. I saw the movie Aura by him which was extremely mediocre stuff and I saw quite a bit of that Jinrui anime which had some decent satire stuff at times in an episodic format but also way too much of that sort of convoluted talky stuff that plagues light novel writing. On the plus side he hasn't done anything to irk me yet which is more than I can say of most of the supposed superstar VN/LN writers working in anime now that I'm apparently supposed to be excited about any time they're working on something.


I've also had better experiences with Ryukishi07 than most but again the anime adaptations are hit or miss with me liking Higurashi a lot but finding Umineko an unfinished convoluted disaster. Likewise even Fumiaki Maruto has written White Album 2 which had a fantastic anime adaptation with great characters and sincere interactions, but then he also "wrote" Saekano which I found absolutely insufferable and with awful characters and which played like sneering insincere meta wank LN fanservice trash where like is the case with a lot of LN series only the cover art is worth writing home about. Which would it be for this? I mean the trailer shows some little girl with heterochromia in a thong and some other stuff I don't really recognize so being totally unfamiliar with the game it leaves the impression of kind of a fanservice piece.

edit: And I just found out this will be by Aniplex again so never mind, no longer remotely interested anymore.

Rewrite anime announced, I had so much hype reading the news, and....... it's gone!
8bit = The Dream Destroyer
They completely annihalated the Grisaia series, making it unwatchable for me and almost every person that read the visual novel, and now they want to get their hands on Rewrite. It's just to sad to be true. It's even worse then handing JC Staff the adaptation of Little Busters.
I'm just looking forward to the day they announce the number of episodes (it's gonna be 13 ---> they'll do 3 eps for common route and 2 per girl, exluding moon and terra which they will make into OVA's or some other shit), then I'll be able to know 100% it's gonna be a trainwreck of an adaptation.
