"please read the vn" "please don't watch this" "please let me force my opinion on everyone" MY GOD STOP SERIOUSLY this is why i hate these discussions. No one gives a shit if you like the VN more than the anime, people won't read the source just because you're telling them to do it. This is a different media with different plans for the script. Stop comparing them especially in this case since Rewrite is a fucking huge VN with different timelines and controversial routes. IF YOU THINK ITS SO EASY TO ADAPT THIS, WHY DON'T YOU TRY BY YOURSELF? The episode was fine and we don't need comparisons with the visual novel here. Go back to the game if you're so unpleased with the adaptation, Let the anime onlies breath for god's sake.. why do you think they recommend VN? because it will give them better experience, but the decision is on them. We don't force but guide, follow it or not is your choice. but stop shitting on the forums with your bullshit butthurt. Stop butthurt about people's impression on the show. No need to think twice. It would be a much better adaptation. Let the anime-only viewers get the idea of Guardian and Gaia AFTER common route, and in the middle of the original route. No need to get into the background of each heroine. If they want more, well, there is the VN right? |

| Honestly anime is fine, they probably are doing 1 route per episode because they want to present kagari's route as their main focus all good, pacing is always an issue when you adapt something, i mean what do you expect when it only has 13 episodes ;P |
Wonderland-aries said: Would have been better of not doing heroine routes with only 13 ep, it would give them more time to focus on Kagari with better pacing. But oh well, they did manage to adapt Shizuru's well, so I have hope they'll atleast do everyone elses well (tho I wonder how they'll go about Akane's and Kotori's considering when those happen?)Honestly anime is fine, they probably are doing 1 route per episode because they want to present kagari's route as their main focus all good, pacing is always an issue when you adapt something, i mean what do you expect when it only has 13 episodes ;P |

| The heroines are not the main point of this anime so it's kind of acceptable that the character route episodes are left hanging a bit. But this episode...In the middle I thought they'd finally do two episodes, but they somehow made it end hahaha |

| Just realized that's her new battle uniform lol, looks pretty sweet. |

| That was a really good episode. Haven't tried the VN yet but imo story had good pace and it wasn't that rushed to make hard to follow but the main plot line, i still not sure. |

| I am rather curious why other VN readers are saying "OMG THEY BUTCHERED HER ROUTE!"... It was obvious from the start they aren't doing the heroine routes, rather delving a little bit into their backstories. This is a new original route being made for the anime, and they're delving a bit into the heroine's routes so anime onlies can learn more about the heroines. Would people rather have the heroines not be explained and just be pushed to the background? Should they have spent 2 or 3 episodes to drag out and explain Asahi Haruka? If so, there would be less time for this anime original route and more time to just drag out parts of a route since some VN readers want their precious best girl to get all the attention she deserves. This wasn't at all going to be a good adaptation, it was obvious from when they first mentioned the anime original route. That doesn't necessarily make it a bad thing, though, as in the end it could still be a decent anime. Now, if they attempted Lucia's whole route then it would be fair to call it butchered. They just did her backstory, and had an easy progression into the Guardian and Gaia. If they did November 13th rather than easing their way into it... |
| This was really faced paced. They kept jumping from location to location and the drama had hardly any impact at all because the scenes end so quick. |
 |
| I'm near to drop it. The only thing which is stopping me is a fact about new route. This is a real disaster and I would drop it for sure in normal circumstances. It's probably not worth to wait for original content anyway, but I will try to endure it. SakurasouBusters said: Thank you so much 8bit for fucking up my favorite route. Lol, you really expected something good after all of this? OH. MY. GOD. This is one of the dumbest things which I seen for a while (not including some users on Polish anime forums). Sorry, I'm not a owner of anime studio :( The only thing which I could do is a soundtrack, eventually video montage. It's not my profession, but as a viewer, I can rate what I'm watching. I don't need to be able of producing it. And btw, every other adaptation of Key's VN is great. Even hated by most of users Little Busters (yes I have read a vn, and I think that JC Staff did very acceptable adaptation). But this is a disaster, nothing else. How about you stop butthuring about someone's else opinion? Especially if producers screwed up everything that they only could. |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Oh boy, the big name drops in this episode.... November 13th better happen. In some way, shape or form, that day needs to be reenacted in the anime. But going by the preview, there's probably no way they can get that event across properly. |

| Fairly good episode, just wish there were more character interactions with Lucia so I could be more invested in her story. |
 |
| 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 |
