| This episode by itself seemed much better than all of season 1, lets hope it stays that way. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| this episode felt a bit confusing, guess things will come to light in the next episodes... |
| People want to know what not even the protagonist have figured out yet ... For now, the pacing looks better than S1, but let's see what will happen next |

Here the world seems to be a post apocalyptic state. There was that scene in the beginning with Kotori trying to shoot Kagari and then Shizuru crying as Koutarou was about to disappear or something. There's also all the flashbacks and memories Koutarou seems to recall of the group. I assume this points to different timelines where different events happen and he's somehow remembering all this in whichever timeline he's currently in or something. Also how exactly does he keep respawning like that? Why isn't Kagari able to talk? What is the thing that Kagari is researching on? Is it something like the 'World Lines' from Steins;Gate or something? Way too many questions man. Would appreciate if someone could summarize how the current events came about unless of course it will be explained later. I see, well I hope they do get explained in detail later on. I guess things have gotten pretty interesting. Would've been nice if I had experienced all the character routes so I can relate to the memories, I suppose I should have read the VN for that. Thanks for letting me know. |

xlaser08 said: The one in this episode. Where she has the carpet. I mean he's having these "dreams" (very real ones) in the timeline of the end of the first season?Nostalgik said: I got that, thanks though. What I didn't get is what time is the MC living in the time he dreams about meeting Kagari in that garden with the carpet? Is it the aftermath of the first season? Which meeting are you referring to? This one being showed right now where kotarou tries his best to talk to kagari, or the one showed in season 1 ?(Does that even count as a garden though) |
 |
| Mmmm that Journey OP with dancing was extremely tasteful, color me surprised. I hate the route excerpts, but it should help people understand the structure once they know everything(at least if you know how general VN structures are you'll be alright). Some of the Moon comedy felt off(that Tensho direction) but other than that the Moon bits were spot on. I mean everything from this point on should be easy business to adapt so it doesn't really deserve praise, but this did make me hopeful from an execution standpoint. |
 |
| I had no fcking clue on what was happening. So basically Kotarou lived a lot of lives in different timelines? including the one in the 1st season? so that was one of many? Kotaro living the lives tho, having an adult relationship with the pres, having 2 hot babes with him while bathing, building a family with Kotori and other shiz. I hope Kagari gets hit by a rock from space again so that she goes back to being like she was in the 1st season, she was entertaining as hell back then, now she's like this robot that doesnt talk, tho that smile was something. Loved how the beautiful art kicked in near the end. |
  |
| That was quite entertaining and fun Also that OP, it was perfect in all ways Here is a lovely Kotarou illustration by Hiromi Nakagawa, the new Chief Animation Director that joined the crew to help improve the quality, she also was an animation supervisor in this ep!

Dark_Kain said: Damn it, it was an actually a good adaptation, now I'm going to keep my hope up once again. Anime only viewers are going to be confused as hell, though. its ok if they are confused, as we all VN readers where confused at that point in Moon and it didn't make full sense until it ended and it was brilliant. hopefully they will keep things good at this pace |
Lelouch0202 said: Well that was quite something, It was interesting but as a person who has not played the VN this leaves me with quite a bit of questions. So what exactly has happened to the world now? As I understood the previous seasons, the world was being rewritten into some kind of basic state. Here the world seems to be a post apocalyptic state. There was that scene in the beginning with Kotori trying to shoot Kagari and then Shizuru crying as Koutarou was about to disappear or something.

Would appreciate if someone could summarize how the current events came about unless of course it will be explained later. Also Koutarou death scenes were quite brutal, I think if they had kept it that way instead of making it comedic in the middle, The final reunion would have been a lot more emotional. |
| Into the Internet! |
| That was confusing indeed |
 » Escapism. |
| One of the best openings of the season. I'm glad they banged out the other routes real quick and are going to deal with the main route this season. This episode was really good, a little slow paced but damn some of those deaths were brutal. Best Girl Returns though!  |

| there is absolutely no sense on what is going on, but at least it is going better than "first season", this might redeem the mess (not really) from the failure they did... i hope... |
| "We could make the world better, but it's easier to just shut our eyes." ~Blackwall |
| It doesn't make so much sense for anime views, can't be helped until end. All those different world lines is an conclusion of ending of all routes, Kotori, Chihaya, Akane, Lucia, Shizuru. Kotarou have all memories from lives he has been living, hopefully this anime getting better cause I love Moon and Terra route in Rewrite VN. |

| To anime onlys: rewatch the ep and pay attention to details and what Kotarou says |
| This episode left me speechless in so many ways, I don't even know what to say! :| There was so many QUALITY™ moments sometimes xD But for some reason, I enjoyed it more than I should.. Couldn't stop giggling in some scenes... xD Hopefully it keeps a steady pace and keeps getting better :^) I feel bad for the anime onlies....  |

| Amazing episode OMG. Tearing up OMG |
Dark_Kain said: An anime only viewer is bound to ask himself: - Why Kagari is not speaking at all? - Why Kagari acts like she doesn't know Kotauro and keeps killing him? - Why she is not in love with him? - Why she didn't recognize coffe in the first place? - etc... Literally all these questions will be answered at the end of Moon arc lol (probably around episode 3 or 4) |
| Way better than S1 so far as expected. But comedy and ecchi stuff didn't mix well with serious stuff as always. |
| What the heck? I expected shit but it was a way better than I ever anticipated. Could this maybe be a good adaptation? I'll keep low expectation for some more episodes for now... |
Samu-tan said: Well, it was about as mediocre as I expected it to be. This episode was all over the place. It was entertaining at times, but mainly because the first season was handled incredibly poorly, it didn't feel like this episode had any impact whatsoever. Exactly this. Pacing was what killed it for me I think. I had more feeling reading the VN because it took time to build up the setting and made the interactions with Kagari more meaningful. Not to mention that the art is still worse than the VN. What is the point of an anime, a medium which should have an advantage in that department at least, if it has worse art than a VN. |
| Picking the twins from Lucia's route and not the fight with Shizuru in the mall... is the only thing I can call bad in this episod. |
| Welp |
| This second season so far is better the first season. I really like the OP. Tennouji trying to talk to Kagari was funny. The memories he was having were interesting. |
 |
| Weird episode. I didn't get what was going on. |
 |
| Well, I'm a filthy secondary and I was confused as fuck during all the episode, but judging by the ending of the first season and this episode, I will guess that Koutarou is living all those timelines and once he dies, he reborns in another one and lives in that timeline until he dies and re-starts the process. Only the time will tell if I'm right or not (hopefully). Other than that, I liked the episode. Better than the first season at least. The scene when Kagari finally decides to "be friends" with Koutarou was very sweet. Those deaths were hilarious too. |
 |
| This is already miles better than any episode of the first season. Is this Moon? And i have always been a fan of the Rewrite OST, so you should have seen my face when Journey played as a little OP. |
| Better opening episode than the first season, although that's not saying much. |
 |
Nostalgik said: Now... can someone summarize this episode for me?? At first I thought it was a prequel to the first season since he didnt know who Kagari was and started having the dreams he had in the first season, but then he started having these random moments with all the girls he met so I kinda lost it here. Basically, they started with Kotori's ending of the VN, went to Shizuru's ending, then showed very small pieces of the Chihaya and Akane routes, then a scene with Lucia from the fandisk (disappointed they chose this scene for Lucia, as it wasn't even part of the VN, and there were so many better scenes they could have used). Basically they were just trying to demonstrate to the watcher that Kotaru lived through his life many, many times, in many different ways. An important part required for understanding they left out, was that so far, no matter what Kotaru did in his life, the world always came to an end. very light spoiler: |
| I'm not expecting much from Rewrite anymore after the first season, but I gotta say that this episode was really good. This might turn out decent after all, I hope. |

xlaser08 said: That helped me just enough as I wanted. Thanks! :) Now I can keep watching with a more peaceful mind xD Ty for taking the timeNostalgik said: The one in this episode. Where she has the carpet. I mean he's having these "dreams" (very real ones) in the timeline of the end of the first season? If you really want to be answered: EDIT: realized I didn't really answer your original question. |

| Nice, this was surprisingly decent - it had a few funny moments, mostly thanks to amazing Masakazu Morita-san of course! I know it's super confusing for now, but this route was confusing even in the game, so it's not exactly anime's fault. Also, someone needs to make a gif out of literal "mind-blown" scene lol >:D This one was my second favourite, pretty gruesome:  Absolutely LOVED how they used "Tabi" in the opening, perfect <3 Vocal version of Daisy sounds great too, hopefully they will release full version soon! |

When I read Moon for the first time it felt like the equivalent of weed (what Zayd said before to me when I finished the 5 heroine routes), and true, not the anime's fault for being confusing. Also, Nice gif you made and at the same time this reminds me of I flinched at the scene, never thought it could be that way compared to the VN but that seems pretty creepy xP |
| @Symphyon To be fair, I just took it from tumblr :> I wish they made one from the mind-blown scene too, it was even better. Could even become a new meme. |

Ohhh I don't really go on tumblr to be fair. I assume they don't have more from the episode? Because that would be nice... I honestly like the Shizuru Route scene animated. ;w; It really got me to tears when I saw that. I'm not exactly a tumblr fan myself either, usually I just go there for anime gifs :D But so far, not counting Kotarou's decapitation and tsundere Kagari, there wasn't anything really interesting. The episode has just aired though, so maybe we will get more within a few days or so.  |

Hopefully we do get more in the next few days altho while my internet is completely horrible, I got a decent amount of screenshots from the episode. I still feel happy about it for some reason, maybe because I can get my heart wrecked again xD (if you include the VN Moon Route 4 times reading, this is the fifth time going through Moon Route, except anime format... so we will probably get our hearts ripped, who knows) Edited: The fact that they adapted the inner thought of what Kotarou thought of Kagari makes me giggle, tho while its Crunchyroll, I remembered it was "sewage water" but it works too, still funny XD |
 I love this so much |
Can I download this? ;w; I love this scene >-< |
