Hmm I think Tennouji is starting to really get used to working with the Guardians.
Glad to see Nishikujou getting along better with Tennouji and Arata.

The action was so-so, not really a fan of the CGI imo. It did however show the talents of the Guardians. Tennouji also realizes the dangers of facing off against some of their enemies. Very nice to see Tennouji's training paying off :o

Funny how the arrogant and salty prodigy guy got REKT and killed in the field lol

Good episode overall though, it was nice to see Akane again plus dat cameo from Kotori and Kagari.....I really enjoyed all the undercover spy talks too

But I'm gonna need Kotaro to become a badass now because I'm getting kinda tired of him being a pushover/not using his abilities to their full extent

Koutarou, you should treat Akane first, instead of burying her under a pile of branches. XD

Otherwise, glad to see Akane again but...

It looks like they're going a slightly different direction with the Kagari scene and its implications. Its one of the most important scenes in the entire series.

So what happens if Kotarou chose to "Destroy her" or "Capture her" instead?

In case you weren't able to figure it out, this is what happens if he chooses to Destroy/Capture her. Its probably the biggest mindblow I had in all of Rewrite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEmSOvtZhSw

Here's an image I created to illustrate Rewrite's timeline and why this choice/branch-off is huge.


I was going to ask still but I might get ignored... Well, where did you found that Kotarou from?

Aside from that I think from the implications (If you mean the what happens if he selects otherwise then ya know what, it has already been said in the previous episodes in Moon and ya know, it was given away as well)

Suzuki Bondo. XD
Nice to see kid Akane again, she's really cute.

Mikuni got wrecked. :o
Koutarou was pretty cool when he killed that hound.

I assume the place that Koutarou is now headed was that military operation kinda thing that was shown at the start of this Terra route?

In the VN it was never said that he did that hahaha Reading it the first time I think I imagined he carried Akane with him all the time except at the moment of the decision. 8shit probably added that so that it stayed consistent with how they portrayed that moment in the 1st season. I mean in the VN he even took the Key and hid with her somewhere so no one could find her, many differences there.

I actually liked how they downplayed the meeting with Kagari. It helped emphasize how mesmerized Kotarou is by her at this point. I especially liked how they handled the choice integration.

That was a good episode, though I have a complaint with it but I'll get to that in a moment.

I really liked what they did in terms of approach, especially with the Kagari scene before we went continuing on with it, pretty much they cut that off because it was then to put more of an implication and then revealing it at the end. I find that pretty nice honestly.

The translation from the choices still goes nicely although when it went to "Paths" well... being honest, God damn it I got triggered warnings from the entire "Unlimited Options Works" (this is how I call it).

:') Bond looks fucking great too which makes me very happy in a sense, though I wish they can fix a lot of the errors in BDs since I did find some... quite there and iffy. But there were some good screenies I got from him.

Now... aside from the animation which was pretty much okay for Mikuni vs the Earth Dragon... am I the only person here that thought the voice actor doesn't fit at all for Mikuni at least for this scenario? I mean sure Mikuni is a minor character which is obvious, but I don't think the voice actor fits with Mikuni in my eyes, I didn't really felt it in all honesty.

For anime only watchers... for the Kagari scene, just remember the flashbacks that Kotarou got from S1 and in Moon Route's episodes, and go and focus on this episode... you might get what you mean when the show foreshadowed it.

Now we get to see the real good shit coming in.

The boomerang prodigy guy got killed off quick. Tennouji couldn't do anything about him, but he managed to save Akane from the hound. He ran into Kagari, but didn't mention her in his report. Now he's going abroad to train more.

I want moar loli Akane </3


Also, wtf, Kotarou barely changed anything about his face xD It's like he gained a few kilos at best. I was imagining some bigger change when I was reading the visual novel, seriously, how could anyone NOT recognize him :v It's almost like Sailor Moon case.

Plus I don't like the way they showed Kotarou approaching Kagari, I'd say that she would already cut his hand off by the time he got so close.

But other than that and veeery poor CGI, decent episode.

Basically if Kotarou decided to destroy or capture kagari at that time, his arm will be cut off, and Kotori will save him by making him her familiar by using some of kagari's ribbon and her power as a druid, hence why he doesn't age even after in coma for long time. After that, the common route where Kotarou open his occult club in the first episode of the 1st season start.

Kotarou's disguise was barely any different, but his pose with his glasses was funny though. Akane didn't like it, but her reaction was also funny! ^_^

For someone who dominated the training episode last week, Mikuni sure as much got destroyed by the massive CGI dragon. For such a huge beast, it's surprising to see it react and move so quickly. No way Mikuni and his little boomerang would be able to win that fight. =/

For Kotarou, I'm glad he saved Akane and encountered Kagari, but he chose a different option compared to the start of season 1 and walked away from her. Pretty interesting, also considering that he's kept that info secret from anyone else.

A very good episode overall and I'm interested to see what Kotarou does next.

Yes, there's a reason OP1 has it; and Terra' s ED has it, and Moon mentions it.

I'm guessing if Kotarou were to tend to Akane first, Kagari's light would disappear and Kotarou would not be able to choose to not do anything, since he wouldn't be amazed on the magnificence of Kagari.

Basically all these choices are just so that Kotarou can "reasonably" choose not to kill the Key, which is ironic given Kotarou really isn't the one in control here.

I questioned how the T-Rex didn't get Akane. But wow that T-Rex chomped that boomerang like it was nothing. That pro team got wiped easily yet the girl and the other dude came out with no scratches or injuries.

The Hunter Type Superhumans are specialist in projectils and throwing weapons, and every person has a different weapon, so the arsenal varies depending the team.

Anyway, there was a lot of lost potential in that scene since in the vn the Earth Dragon catch the boomerang with his jaw and then makes a 360° turn using the momentum to throw it back to Mikuni at high speed, killing him in the coolest way possible

I am not exactly sure as to how this makes sense budget-wise. Why waste budget on that simple line just to please the VN players when there's better things coming up in the next episode that might require even more budget. And I doubt they have enough budget. Heck, if they did I'd be extremely distressed that they didn't just expand this series to split 3cour like Illya (where the Common Route took 10 episodes, Kagari Route took 10 episodes (in my opinion Kagari Route was EXTREMELY RUSHED because it lacks the info/foreshadowing from Shizuru and Akane routes), and Terra&Moon took 10-12 episodes)

Because garbage-tier art isn't correlative to the number of episodes: see Bakemonogatari.

Also Kagari Route is the definitive description of Episodes 8 to 12 of Season 1, because, whether you like it or not, the center of that Arc was definitely the Earth's Kagari, and Kotarou's atttempt to understand Kagari's motives and reunite the Occult Club.
