I think that it will get 24 episodes. I'm not expecting a lot of episodes since we are talking about 8-bit.

Based on their history of related works, they have only made 3 2-cour adaptations with one of those being 15 minutes each:

Aquarion Evol
Tokyo Ravens
Encouragement of Climb: Second Season

So really unclear on this.

In a perfect world, 48 episodes of double split cour should work out.

If the production committee wants to promote the VN and make a proper adaptation then they'll fund it properly.

The real question is how much episodes *SHOULD* it get, because i have my doubts it'll get what it needs.

You can get a reasonable adaption with 2 cours for Common route, a 2 episode OVA or 1 hour long OVA for Moon, and 10-13 episodes for Terra.

Lets just hope they don't pull a Kajitsu and shove the entire common route in 12 episodes or worse, the entire thing in 12 episodes.

(Going to pick 36 episodes because thats the closest to the appropriate pacing, I think any slower will put people off)

I'd like to think that they'll do an initial 2-cour series before doing a second 1-cour series to cover the Moon and Terra routes, whatever those actually are. At the very least, given that they are always talked about as if separate from one another, I would expect them to be separate from each other in one way. That would make 36 episodes, which I'd probably be okay with. But would that actually be enough?

Yes, it should at least be as long as that. If it's any less than 36, then the adaptation is most likely ruined.

Yeah the logical answer would be 4 cours (~50 eps), but that's only what it should get

As far as what it'll actually get though... well we'll see

1-cour = 100% disaster
2-cour = might work if they skip some of the routes, though that'll present other problems..
3/4-cour = should be fine


2x 24 eps sounds good to me though. Can do the common route, Kotori's and maybe Lucia's plus Shizuru's in the first half, and then Chihaya's, Akane's, Moon and Terra in the second half

If they do a 1-cour for the common route alone and then split it, that'd actually be hilarious lol

Circlejerk? Does anyone genuinely like them?

It's the studio who makes the choice of how many cours they're planing on doing and then discuss it with the Prod. Committee to see how/if they're okay on funding it. If shitty 8-flop says they're making 12 eps and fucking everything like Grisaia and the committee agrees it's pretty much fucked already.
Key and Aniplex will probably argue for at least 2-cour or a split. Key at least SHOULD, given this is probably their best and most expansive work (that ironical didn't sell well in VN format). Aniplex will just try to make it longer for the same reasons and because muh profit.

I hope for 3 seasons (24-13-13) or at least 24 + OVAs but we'll probably end up with stupid 12 + 1 OVA and I'll cry in suffering.

I'd like 48 or so, 36 would be rushed but decent I suppose, but I'm expecting a 13 episodes season to cram adapt common route + heroines routes, an 1 hr special to adapt Moon and a 10 episodes season to adapt Terra.

At least sexy Akane and her sexy voice is coming.

It's not the studio that makes those choices because in the majority of the cases they're in the lower part of the production committee (if they're even part of it and not just contracted for the animation) and they'll adapt it accordingly to the decisions made by the committee.

If Key, Aniplex or whoever is leading this project wanted to make a great adaptation then they'll hire a Producer with connections to some popular studio that they'll know they can pull it off. If they don't give enough fucks and just want it animated then they'll just make it a 12 episode series with a small budget.

In Grisaia's case they had planned to adapt all 3 VNs in the first place but because the 2 later ones contradict with what happens in Kajitsu they had to go original harem ending instead to be able to continue. Kajitsu was only a stepping stone to adapt the rest of the series but despite that it was decently pulled off even with the shitty situation 8-bit was in.

My ideal is 38 or 39 episode season for common + heroin routes, 50 minute OVA for Moon and 10 ep season for Terra.

24 and 12 is more realistic though, and some routes could be salvaged.

But I'm preparing myself for 12 and 12, or 12 and 6 ep OVA. god help us then.

Yea, but that's what I'm saying! Maybe I worded that poorly...
Unless the producer is some big-shot in the industry with a lot of background on the creative side of the process, he won't know jack shet about setting the script, hence, the studio chosen will be asked to deliver their project draft in order to be subjected for the committee approval. The committee will then judge it according to their financial interests.
Sometimes when larger companies are involved (Lantis, Pony Canyon, Kadokawa) this doesn't happen as their monetary strength is enough to secure them the position of calling all the shots.
However this far I only see Key/Aniplex and 8-flop involved so it's dubious how this will turn out.
@slightly off-topic: have you read about Under The Dog? Yura is causing quite the havoc among the traditional system. I wonder if he will succeed.

I don't know much about the production of Grisaia (all I know is that the anime was a chaos). Will take your word on it.

based on how long the vn is 50+ episodes for a good adaptation, the vn is cool! the common route alone would need a significant amount of episodes. if this becomes a 12 episode anime than that would be like 8 bit giving us the middle finger. the vn game stopped working on my laptop so ive been watching playthroughs on youtube and boy does this need a great adaptation

Just 12 episodes would be a total disaster.

I think that Key and Aniplex could easily afford some big shot producer and they'll tell him specifically what they imagine the anime should be like.
And even if that wasn't the case it's not like they can't reject an idea and get some other studio instead, there are more than enough of them (KyoAni, P.A. Works, A-1 Pictures only have a single anime so far planned for 2016).
Also in this case it's pretty much guaranteed for Aniplex to hold the top spot of the committee.

Not sure what Yura did though since I've only followed the beginning of the UtD project and stopped caring afterwards.

I do hope for a large number of episodes, since Rewrite had multiple long routes. Not sure how they will adapt it though. Maybe in the same way done for Fate/Stay Night??

Here's my idea. They will release the first season (24 episodes or so) on Kotari's route. Then later on, Chihaya, and so on. Once Akane's route is done, they should combine Moon and Terra into a different season or into a long movie.

The common/character routes need atleast 48 episodes. Anything less would not do the VN justice. It is by far the longest and most complex of all key VNs.

Well I'm sure 5 cours would work out very well too, but I don't think more than 4 is necessary

Again you can roughly compare it to Clannad since they're made by the same company and roughly the same length. If Clannad was a proper adaptation with 47 episodes + 2 OVAs, then Rewrite ought to get roughly the same

Oh, no they announced it... why!

I love the Visual Novel but I am 100% sure that anime will butcher it. There is really no good way to adapt it. All heroine routes go in completely different REALM (saying direction is not enough).

Ah, I expect that this will end up just like Little Busters and everyone will complain about it. I still remember how bad it felt to listen/read the complains about it, and now the same thing will happen to Rewrite.

And to make it worse 8bit is making it. I just check what anime they made and I become even more sad.

!PLEASE PROVE ME WRONG!

All in all, I am extremely excited and hyped for this anime to come even if only to return to that world once again in completely new format.

As for number of episodes that this anime will get, we can only be sure by saying. NOT ENOUGH! Rewrite is the longest key work if I remember correctly. Sure the number of routes fall short to "gather all stars clannad" but they are all extremely long and then there is tera and moon at the end.

What is even more concerning is that 8bit gave Grisaia 13 episodes and they decided to split each route in two episodes each.

Weeeeeee! I want to try and stay positive, I want to try and believe but...

However, 8bit MUST know that this is a Key work. So they know that they have to make this good. Also, given that Romeo Tanaka has returned to manage the script, that is VERY promising in my eyes. Another thing, Aniplex is providing budget/production; and I believe they have not worked with 8bit before, so that is very promising as well. I know I seem overly optimistic, but that's because I've never seen anything by 8bit. But you've got to agree to some extent on what I've said above.
