| Why does it feel like this episode rushed straight through to the climax of Lucia's route in the VN, something that I am inclined to believe works better in the VN when romance is presumably there and when they aren't trying to cram it into 20 or so minutes? Well, it was still pretty good but I feel that giving it a couple of episodes would've worked better, though with what they're going for I understand why they didn't. Also, am I supposed to take the bit after the credits seriously or is it supposed to be a joke? I feel like it should be the former, but it somehow ended up feeling more like the latter instead. Damn it, every episode is making me want to read the VN more and more. |
| I'm really increasingly enjoying this plot, this time the focus was on Lucia, I really like her personality, but in this episode many strange things have happened, but it was good to see Kotarou trying to help Lucia, he is looking smarter than me imagined, especially now that he got information of Lucia and of the teacher, I am really looking forward to seeing the development of this plot .. |

| Rushed as can be. As a result, there's basically no mystery and viewers can hardly feel any attachment to the characters. What a horrible adaptation... Honestly, I believe the pacing of the visual novel would probably be too slow for the anime in that it would take too long for the main theme to become clear. But regardless, these character episodes really should have been 2 episodes long. I just don't get why Key thinks it's a better idea to make 2 shitty anime (Charlotte and Rewrite) instead of a solid 2-cour anime with proper development and impact. I mean, who's ever going to buy this? I find it hard to believe that an anime with such poor execution could be more profitable than a proper adaptation or no adaptation at all. I'm just glad they didn't make the same mistake with Planetarian. |

| Okay, as an anime-only viewer I can't really be as offended by this as several others here. If I had to rate it probably a 3/5 like the rest of the series sans episode 1. On a side note though, this makes me really worried for this series' second half. Considering the staff is haphazardly adapting all the arcs from the VN there leaves only like 5 episodes to cover the anime original material. Charlotte had about the same amount of episodes to cover its last arc and it was a disaster, like I couldn't even fucking tell what was happening nor did I care about any of it. I have a feeling that this show will suffer a similar fate. |
| What a disgrace to the VN, I also changed my user name as I don't want it to be associated with this garbage, this is making Grisaia adaptation look good in comparison. |
It is. I never said otherwise. The first 2 episodes are inherently slow and there's no way around it, but the execution is rock solid and everything looks beautiful. HaXXspetten said: Comparing this to Planetarian's adaptation is kind of senseless given that it's linear and also like 20 times shorter :s It's linear and obviously easier to adapt properly. Rewrite is definitely a complicated visual novel to adapt. I never thought they were going to pull it off with a shitty studio and 12-13 episodes. However, even if we got 24 episodes, that wouldn't make the execution and animation better than now. Having 24 episodes doesn't turn Rewrite into a fantastic show, it's merely a requirement for proper character development and any sort of emotional impact. Not only are there less episodes than necessary, but they're also doing a bad job just like they did with GnK. |
| I'm guessing Chihaya is eating her sundae alone in this episode |
 |
| People are salty again! This right here is why I love MAL. So this episode was Lucia's backstory and a bit of her route I guess. I can kind of see how people are calling this rushed now. Especially if this episode was supposed to have a mystery element to it. After all, I realized that Lucia was Asahi Haruka very early on in the episode. But I enjoyed it, as I found learning about Guardian and Gaia interesting. Though I find myself really wanting to read the visual novel after watching this episode. |
| Cross-country >>>>>>>>>>>> Every other sport |
| Why are people talking like the fucking episode just adapted the whole Lucia route, it only showed her backstory and one of her worries being solved and Kotarou isn't fully attached to her yet, in terms of pacing the episode felt fine from an anime only standpoint. also reminder that this is not an adaptation, its a retelling of Rewrite's world from a different perspective So plz stop saying "OMG THEY RUINED MY LUCIA ROUTE ROMANCE" and "THEY RUSHED THROUGH THE ENTIRE LUCIA ROUTE" Now that Kotarou is closer to Guardian I can see that the original Kagari route might also put some focus on the Guardian side, also Tensho said that Lucia will play a big role in the anime so this kinda supports my theory, I'm looking forward to how this anime is going Also once again This anime is not adaptation the routes, its just showing the backstories so far and seems to have a logical flow so far |
| Well, obviously rushed, but meh. I never really cared that much about 1:1 adaptations to begin with and just watch for enjoyment, and I enjoyed the episode. Lucia is probably my favorite heroine along with Akane. |
  |
| @zaidk - I'm just glad they didn't make the same mistake with Planetarian. - What's wrong with planetarian? I think it's very good he means he is glad planetarian isn't rushed like rewrite...lol then again planetarian is probably so small that they had to make it in 5 episodes with smaller number of minutes... well since i dont play VN i liked the episode... i understand people saying it is rushed...but at least we get to know them a bit...can't do much more in 13 episodes lol no idea what is the requirement to have 24+ episodes instead of 13 but since they do it like this i'm not going to complain |

| As an Anime only, can confirm that this feels hella rushed and fast paced. And feels like jumping Routes too. Also, Guardian? Gaia? We Nasuverse now? Wonderland-aries said: Honestly anime is fine, they probably are doing 1 route per episode that's not what i call fine. Especially when each route could have an anime of it's own. Just focus on a Route and stick with it. |

People keep saying they're trying to adapt the routes, am I watching something entirely different? They're going over each heroine's backstories so the anime onlies can learn about them. It lets them know more about each heroine, which is better than pushing the heroines back into the shadows and we learn nothing about them. Once they're done, I'm sure the story will really start. They've already revealed Gaia and Guardian, which using Lucia's beginning route is nice for that since if they would've rather used November 13th, Kotarou would have it really tough to connect and interact with the other heroines. Let him learn a bit about them with the viewers before |
Hunter2X2 said: Is the ED a new song? It was released already some years ago, it is found at one of the Key Sounds Label CDs that are released every once in a while with arrangements and new songs. I think it was from Circle of Fifth ^^ It's Sunbright's arrangement, Lucia's theme song |
| Loved the song at the end |
| They went into an actual route in this episode... Lucia being Asahi Haruka was really obvious in the anime but it was still a nice twist. No idea where this adaptation will go from here... |
 |
| This episode is quite alright i think. Sure it could be better, but seeing the time constraint they have i can relate to that. It's a different media after all. |
| And I thought Tensho finally learned. And I don't know why I'm not feeling anything on this episode. Oh right, it's because I stop expecting something great. Okay let me see this through anime-only knowledge. At the very least, this pacing is better than Shizuru's in my perspective but goddamn this is still rushed. There are events here and there without trying to be like "calm the fuck down" and I can't even feel the horror. Good thing they didn't go false-narration, otherwise it'll go full-blown headache. Shrimperor said: Wonderland-aries said: What. You cut out the rest of my quote, thats literally what the anime is about, kagari Then just focus on Kagari and don't rush the other Routes in one episode. This guy makes a very good damn point. And also, you can still make a slight heroines' backstories by making anime-original content so we can properly call this as a 6th route, and not getting parts on the existing route. This is why it looks disastrous for VN readers' standards. Heck, some even anime-only watchers understand that too. |

| they only adapt 1/3 of Lucia's route tho, so it's not 'completely' butchered lol |

Let him learn a bit about them with the viewers before Need Lucai power as plot point? they can do by not involving Kotarou, or rewrite how he meet Guardian, cramming Lucia's route into 1 episode isn't the only option. rather than giving them half ass characterization, better left them in the shadow, it makes them more intriguing that way. Innanis said: Maybe you need to know other characters /story background to go in kagari route? :3 You know, in the game you unlock Akane/Shizuru only with finishing Chihaya/Kotori. Same, you unlock Moon and Terra with finishing all the five route. If they juge that the lucia's and shizuru's background/link with Guardian is necessary , the way they are doing it is fine. More of that, Lucia route is about healing her ''power'' ( and the way she got it), romance, hope and despair. There is no such a thing in this adaptation, so this is'nt '' rush'' . Same about Shizuru: everything is about how kotarou want to protect her , and how she have to fulfill her job as a Guardian member. It's just a new adaptation of the storytelling. They can use AO content to show us character's backstory. what has shown in this episode isn't the only way to show lucia backstory. So .... I want to says: the ''rush'' thing is certainly exagerated by the nostalgia of VN's readers who forgot themself the content of all the route. It's still sure that it's not the quality of the VN, but I wd like to think that the decision-making is not that bad here, and that there is a purpose behind it. :) except VN readers aren't the only ones that said it's rushed.Shinjisus said: This too.This is just... No, the church scene is meant to be the point of no return for Kotarou in Lucia route. I'm not going to watch this until they finish butchering all heroines routes. Wake me when they start with the original content. i can't see how that church is really needed for Kagari route. that scene suppose to be when Kotarou choosing Lucia. if they just touching the surface like that. they can just alter the content. Vanschia said: And that's the problem. they can just don't. it's AO route, there's nothing wrong with writing AO backstory for character that is needed for Kagari route.they only adapt 1/3 of Lucia's route tho, so it's not 'completely' butchered lol |

| A lot of stuff got cut again and I'm not surprised since Lucia had a pretty big route lol. I ain't gonna come her and complain, I'm just gonna enjoy the adaptation unlike some of the VN readers here. >.> Guardian and Gaia finally get introduced! The last scene where they were in their battle outfits were a nice touch too. :3 Chihaya/Sakuya or Akane next? :0 Seeing Lucia animated and me remembering parts of her route which I played first really has me thinking about changing up my rankings lol. Best damn route out of all the heroine routes imo. Unlike the last time where they used Koibumi which I absolutely hated, I fucking loved how they used Sunbright as the ED song. ^~^ Sad that we won't be getting more about Lucia's route though. :< |
| Oh boy, wonder how they'll go through Kotori, Chihaya, and Akane's backstory now that the whole Gaia/Guardian thing has been revealed. Looking forward to seeing it. God, hearing the OST is just as amazing as it is in the VN. Everything about Lucia's route in the VN made it my favorite heroine route by a long shot. Seeing it animated just makes me want to play through her route again just to experience it again! The transition from Lucia in Tennouji's house to the old chapel felt really disjointed and rushed though. |

OrangeJP said: Pretty good episode I guess Tennouji is the only guy who can be with Lucia now since he's immune to her poison What about Shizuru? Can't she just heal herself if she touches Lucia or is her poison too strong? I'm really loving Rewrite's OST''s. That ending song real beautiful. Overall I liked the Lucia based episode. After credits scene with Lucia and Shizuru, welp, thing looked mightily interesting. |

Rewrite anime can't be CLOSE to how good that was. The rewrite anime is an utter trainwreck |
| No they did a good job with explaining things and plot, this statement is coming from someone that analyzes anime and give interpretations |
| Even as an anime only, I definitely felt they really rushed the backstory but nevertheless it was still a decent episode. I realized about half way in that Lucia might have be Asahi and looks like that was indeed it, That was a nice twist though. I did feel little sad for Lucia for having been unable to touch anyone but her crying towards the end just didn't have that strong of an emotional impact on me. The scene there felt like it was just there to wrap things up with the mystery rather than prove as a turning point for Lucia and Koutarou's relationship, Didn't have the investment I wanted from it. Guess all that's just a consequence from the rushed paced :( Guardian and Gaia, Interesting. What's with Lucia and Shizuru getting ready for battle?:o |
