Actually, that's my impression when I watched Sakurasou lol, that Sorata looks like Kotarou.

Don't worry, I'm only referring about their appearance lol. Besides, I'm aware that Kotarou comparing to Sorata is like, comparing a God to a mere human.

Not sure how to feel but it seems to be good stuff i just hope it goes well

Aw man, now i can't act like a know-it-all toward the people who didn't read the VN.

They probably have their reasons, but still a "significant" change of the story is a bit frightening.

I'm so glad there is a decent amount of movement in the animation. There is anticipation before actions (some are subtle) so the people do know what they are doing. I would've loved for the action scenes to use singles but that's expecting too much. xD

The very fine line work really intrigues me though. I don't think I've seen any other anime with such line works or I just never realised them. It felt strange at first but after looking at them for a while, they don't look all that bad. It'll definitely help a lot with the wide angle shots and more subtle movements as well. It is also very interesting how soft shadows have been utilised which is really unique. I see a lot of experimentation with artistic techniques which has potential in setting itself from other anime.

I presume the reason people think the art is bland is because of both the soft shadows and also the lack of sunset/sunrise lighting in the pv.

Lol that's not how creating anime works. Animation and art are not directly affected by the budget. Pouring money into a work does not instantly increase its quality


Yeah, you can still put out some great animation with a low budget, but to say budget doesn't affect animation isn't true either. A lower budget can lead to less animators and less work on the animation. Bigger budget allows room for a bigger staff really, and that makes it a whole lot easier to get good work done. That's my understanding of it anyway.

Yes that's true but as I said the budget doesn't directly affect quality. It does affect the amount of workers and things of that nature but there's no magical gimmick that increases a work's quality simply by devoting more money into it.

It's not looking good :| Character design in VN was much better. KOTORI!! :( Everything is blurred (I hope that final product will be much better), backgrounds are... well, very budget and CGish :/ Shading looks awful and CGish too.

I kinda of see where you are coming from, the anime design doesn't have that shiny look that the VN had, of course the VN designs has LOTS of shading and LOTS of hair straps which are almost impossible to draw in animation (unless you make the whole show full of still frames with mouth movements only).

I like the design but I think that they should add like a small reflection of light in the hair so it would look more natural.

well the PV that we got had some great animations and it is well directed so I don't really have much to complain about :D


also I kinda agree about Grisaia looking bad, but I mostly blame it on the character design that looks good only in one angle, Thank god Rewrite's anime design doesn't have that issue.

Of course I know that. But take a look on To Love Ru. Character designs, shadings (that level of details! creases on hair or clothes) and art quality from 1st series to the end of motto was great (ok, except few CG monsters), better than Darkness, and especially Darkness 2.
Take a look on this:

Little Busters had a character design with lots of shading on the hair but it mostly had basic animations, in the other hand Rewrite has incredible frame-by-frame animations judging from the PV that we got.

Also, it's pretty obvious by now that this is gonna be really low-budget adaptation and that means two things: heavily modified story and no routes.

It's already confirmed that they're staying true to the novel and that means, there are routes and they're keeping the important scenes and plot points with bonus anime original contents that will bland well with the story and the route as an anime-viewer. What the hell are you talking about?

Unless I'll just let someone else state that confirmation for you.

Actually the link BerryChanx posted earlier states that the anime will begin to deviate significantly from the original Visual Novel toward the middle of the anime. So the ending is probably gonna happen in a different way, for better or worse.

But yeah calling it cheap already is a bit pessimistic.

Yes but I don't think that is meant as the ending is gonna happen in a different way. They'll just do something original development somewhere in the middle part. Or that's what I understand.

Then again, it doesn't mean the story will be heavily modified like that one user said.

Why are people complaining about the art? The only scene that looked bad to me in the PV was the first one where Kotori was sleeping in the forest.
Other than that, the art blends well with the background art.

More importantly, shouldn't we be worrying about things like the episode count and pacing/story?

If you don't care about art, just start reading (not visual) novels. Anime = art and animation + music + voice acting + story + direction. Nothing more, nothing less. Everthing is important.

Even if a show has shitty art, you should be more than capable of enjoying the show if the characters, story or whatever is good enough.

The art is important for sure, but some people make it seem like it's the end of the world just because the art isn't to their taste.

Well, I can't enjoy shows with shitty art.
Or in other words, I can't watch a show with high amount of shitty CG, even if story is good. Maybe strange comparison, but the same situation is with people. Would you like to have a fat, ugly girlfriend (or boyfriend if a girl reading it) with crossed eyes (I'm not laughing of anyone OK?)? Of course she/he would be a kindheart etc. I assume, that your answer is NOT (even if you say YES, it's not true :P). The same goes in opposite way of course (beautiful but stupid - the answer would be probably NOT, too).

Shaft had done it in totally different way and in most of Monogatari series it wasn't that bad. It was rather experimental.
But I complained a lot about art in Owarimono threads, so..

Art is a subjective matter, what one might like others might hate, but acting like a show is pure garbage/unwatchable just because you don't like the art is stupid. There is far more to animes than just the art style, as for your example it's pretty great - someone who picks based on looks is less likely to actually appreciate something that might actually turn out great compared to someone who looks at more than just the surface.

Why those complaints? It's better than I expected, really that animation is not sooooo perfect, however about characters design, I can't imagine how would it be better, none studio (including 8bit) would make exactly the same as it's in the VN with detailed hair and etc ... Bro it's a animation, not just a sprite repeating all the time. The most important is have a character design recognizable, and they do.

Part of the reason why people are a bit turned off by the art (not the animation) is because the original VN sprites and CGs were incredibly detailed. Since we were so used to seeing those, the art for the anime seems a little bit bad to some people.

The animation is fine though. The movements of the characters are very detailed and realistic

The art looks much nicer at night, which makes sense seeing as most of the important moments in the story take place at night. Honestly, I can see why they've gone with this colouring style. It's a lot more versatile, leaving lots of room for significant tone shifts without it feeling too jarring. I mean, the only reason Rewrite had the moe designs was because it was Key, which works as a huge setback when it comes to the anime. Finding a style that can keep that Key look while still being able to feel gritty later on would be pretty hard.

Don't expect 8bit studio to do a Kyoto animation (Clannad).
KyoAny don't want to adapt Key works anymore (so have I heard). I'm relieved that 8bit at least made a good character design.

Well I have been reading for months on these Rewrite discussions and I finally decided to state my opinion on the pv:
I love the animation and it really gave me that feeling I got in the vn, not like LB where i felt like I was watching something totally different from the vn. and I think that the common route of Rewrite will be done really well with the comedy and everyday life scenes.
