I want moar loli Akane </3


Also, wtf, Kotarou barely changed anything about his face xD It's like he gained a few kilos at best. I was imagining some bigger change when I was reading the visual novel, seriously, how could anyone NOT recognize him :v It's almost like Sailor Moon case.

Plus I don't like the way they showed Kotarou approaching Kagari, I'd say that she would already cut his hand off by the time he got so close.

But other than that and veeery poor CGI, decent episode.

Basically if Kotarou decided to destroy or capture kagari at that time, his arm will be cut off, and Kotori will save him by making him her familiar by using some of kagari's ribbon and her power as a druid, hence why he doesn't age even after in coma for long time. After that, the common route where Kotarou open his occult club in the first episode of the 1st season start.

Kotarou's disguise was barely any different, but his pose with his glasses was funny though. Akane didn't like it, but her reaction was also funny! ^_^

For someone who dominated the training episode last week, Mikuni sure as much got destroyed by the massive CGI dragon. For such a huge beast, it's surprising to see it react and move so quickly. No way Mikuni and his little boomerang would be able to win that fight. =/

For Kotarou, I'm glad he saved Akane and encountered Kagari, but he chose a different option compared to the start of season 1 and walked away from her. Pretty interesting, also considering that he's kept that info secret from anyone else.

A very good episode overall and I'm interested to see what Kotarou does next.

Yes, there's a reason OP1 has it; and Terra' s ED has it, and Moon mentions it.

I'm guessing if Kotarou were to tend to Akane first, Kagari's light would disappear and Kotarou would not be able to choose to not do anything, since he wouldn't be amazed on the magnificence of Kagari.

Basically all these choices are just so that Kotarou can "reasonably" choose not to kill the Key, which is ironic given Kotarou really isn't the one in control here.

Loli Akane is adorable. Those "tcht" expressions she made were cute. And it's not every day when a cute loli goes up to you and sits between you.

I questioned how the T-Rex didn't get Akane. But wow that T-Rex chomped that boomerang like it was nothing. That pro team got wiped easily yet the girl and the other dude came out with no scratches or injuries.

The Hunter Type Superhumans are specialist in projectils and throwing weapons, and every person has a different weapon, so the arsenal varies depending the team.

Anyway, there was a lot of lost potential in that scene since in the vn the Earth Dragon catch the boomerang with his jaw and then makes a 360° turn using the momentum to throw it back to Mikuni at high speed, killing him in the coolest way possible

I am not exactly sure as to how this makes sense budget-wise. Why waste budget on that simple line just to please the VN players when there's better things coming up in the next episode that might require even more budget. And I doubt they have enough budget. Heck, if they did I'd be extremely distressed that they didn't just expand this series to split 3cour like Illya (where the Common Route took 10 episodes, Kagari Route took 10 episodes (in my opinion Kagari Route was EXTREMELY RUSHED because it lacks the info/foreshadowing from Shizuru and Akane routes), and Terra&Moon took 10-12 episodes)

Because garbage-tier art isn't correlative to the number of episodes: see Bakemonogatari.

Also Kagari Route is the definitive description of Episodes 8 to 12 of Season 1, because, whether you like it or not, the center of that Arc was definitely the Earth's Kagari, and Kotarou's atttempt to understand Kagari's motives and reunite the Occult Club.

Whew I don't like this new Koutarou tbh. The cheerful and lively one was better.

Sad to know Mikuni and his team ended up dying :(

The loli Akane is darn cute <3

Also how much time has passed since he left home and came back? Also if Kotori's parents were supposed to die when he stopped them from going, then what she is doing at forest this time? (Assuming both the accident of her parents and Kotarou's took at the same day iirc from S1)

What I liked about this episode is that you can kind of see the start of lively and cheerful Kotarou. You can see him acting more goofy and comical here compared to the start of Terra, especially once he adopts the Bondo disguise.

Koutarou lied about seeing Kagari. So being resurrected to that world, your memories would also be wiped. But at the same time you feel like you've been there before just like Kotarou...
poor Mikuni, the strongest in terms of physical got wrecked and killed by a high level daemon!

She's in the forest because she's already become a druid. She promised the mistletoe that gave her her powers that she'd protect the Key in exchange for bringing her parents back to life. The mistletoe then instructed her where and when the Key would appear, so she went there. In the original timeline this is when she stumbled on a fatally injured Kotarou. Here, neither of them noticed the other's presence.

She became a druid? Wasn't it supposed to be Koutarou when Kotori heals him? Also, the real parents died, right? The ones she has now are made of energy or some kind of power.

Kotori is the druid of the forest. She used Kagari's ribbon along with a monster-to-summoner connection to heal Kotarou and bind him in a contract as her familiar monster. And yes, her real parents are dead. The parents she has now are basically their corpses that she reanimated using her own life force. If you remember Chibimoth, the little mascot mammoth she had with her from the first season, that was actually her dead dog Pero, reincarnated as her familiar-monster.

Hmm, that was superfast... like the action in the forest and what happened next just omitted many details. My main gripe with whole Rewrite is that everything is happenning too randomly and 'just because' for the sake of the story, there is no sense of meaninfulness and characters are good but their developements feels very weak.
And it feels even more obvious in this (weakest) ending arc.

Also, if anyone wonders why is he seeing those choices.. those are relict of the novel. I believe it's obvious but it's set of correct choices Kagari researched back then during the Moon that leads to their succesful ending where the world would be saved - the choices she instigated into Kotarou's very being during the transfer from Moon to Earth for their final try.

Well, guess we are back to the desert now. Let the bordom and tedium continue there.
