The first part was like some old dating-sim story with some modern remarks. The second part was like wth am i watching? Not into novels so don't really know if it's worth continuing, i think i'll get lost in this even more. |
 |
| Interesting, lots of supernatural stuff and so many characters. |
 |
| Best OST of this episode. |
| Going in completely blind, I found it promising. There're a lot of intriguing mysteries and plotlines set up, and the characters are likable. I'm usually put-off by the dating sim adaptation stuff, but it flowed pretty well all things considered. There was a lot of unrealistic dialogue, but I'm sorta used to that. I felt like I followed it fine, I wonder why people are confused. Got interesting a lot quicker then Clannad did, not that that's difficult. |
 |
| Damn the writing is absolute shit tier. Why do these japanese writer feel the need to TELL instead of SHOWING all the god damn time? Everyone has to explain everything all the time instead of just letting the viewer find out by what is going on. But even besides that, the directing is awful was well. That scene where he finds Kotori in the forest. She is asleep on what seems and island surrounded by a pond. My first thought was "How will he get over there without getting wet?" then "How did she get over there?" Then next scene he is next to her. What happened? Did he teleport? Was there a path to the seeming Island? Nope, not gonna show that. Irrelevant. And yeah it kinda is, but it is still bugging me. The next annoying part was the whole "Now I will explain the setting to the viewer". BOOORING Just show the fucking city and what is going on, not just "okay info dump complete time for other things" Then that Yoshino scene was just absolute shit. Wtf? He talks to him, he acts stereotypically evil and then he suddenly turns around and starts explaining the guy?! Holy fucking shit that is sooooooo bad. And generally that entire scene made no sense to me. Why did the protagonist act the way he did? What's up with that? https://i.gyazo.com/3a4a06271539ed206125da9c6ef38359.png And this is where I had to stop. Did she really just infodump her character while in a conversation with 2 other characters? Holy moly, this shit is so 1/10 unbelievable. |

kamisama751 said: nice first bate mateNot sure if the fans are just plebs or if this is just crap adaptation. It is so boring. It start pretty average but becomes better afterwards. lmao what does original omnibus ending mean? Can you still say this when 8bit is going for an original omnibus ending (as I have heard But yeah, that statement still stands right now. The common route is slow, but once the plot starts to unfold it should get better. But we don't really know right now since it's NOT going to be omnibus, but instead will be animating an original route(has nothing to with 8bit btw, other than Tensho's cooperation with Aniplex) |
 |
| This episode was ok nothing special but if you haven't read the VN it could be quite confusing and that whole scene with had no business being in the first episode. |
| That Key coffee advertisement, lol. This episode was a lot better than I had anticipated after hearing it would be 1-cour. That was some fine action, and I think they did a decent job with the atmosphere. But holy shit, they already introduced all of the heroines. Can't say I'm surprised, considering they only have 13 episodes to work with. And the first minutes of the episode gave me the goosebumps just like in the VN, in a good way. I'm liking it so far. |
  |
| I thought it was a good adaptation. Good animations with average art. The pacing is fast, but it works and the fight was well done. 4/5 |
 |
| Well...uh...that made absolutely no sense whatsoever! XD Pretty badass fight near the end though, and those plant chibis were kawaii. So many girls though! They had that Kanon-esque moe design too. Let's see where it goes from here... oh, and yeah, also a blind watcher XD |

| Haven't played the VN so I can't say anything in terms of an adaptation but as an anime It was quite an interesting first episode. I'm really liking the character interactions, They're fun to see and all the girls are really cute. Wonder what this accel power of Koutarou's is or rather I'm interested in knowing how all this fantasy stuff is gonna tie into the storyline. The CG does look weird and the CG of the yellow monsters was horrid. |
 |
| Anytime I think back on VN I always have great memories. VN was great, and it's story is great, it's characters are great. But ever since I finished the VN I always though, there is no way to properly adapt it. The story is super long, anime deals horribly with multi heroine routes which in this story aren't just, new heroine to fall in love with but rather a single grand storyline that needs all routes to be at it's fullest. (Well maybe except Lucia's but Lucia's route is an absolute masterpiece on it's own) Here we finally get it, REWRITE ANIME. It's supposed to be anime original, or rather new route that did not exist in vn, or from what I saw, A strange mix up of serious scenes combined with new scenes everything rushed to the point that even VN reader will probably have hard time catching up what is going on. Like I do know what is going on, I know why all those strange things actually make sense in grand picture but how on earth is an anime only supposed to understand that all? I believe that they will have absolutely no idea what is happening. What's more, this anime jumps all over the place with it's scenes. There is no good transition but we simply jump from scene A to scene B without that what was between. What's more those scenes are naturally cut to pieces as what took 10 minutes to read through in VN, is but a minute or two in here. Then again when I saw Gil and Pan (The flying little people) I was like... okay, this is it... we are riding an express here! What's more it seems like this train will be entering Moon/Tera route for the grand ending and this will mess up things even worse. Even simple thing like MC thinking about using Acceleration no one but VN reader knows what it is about and even they can be confused as Kotarou's power was called is supposed to recalled Rewriting just like the name of the VN. Te name rewrite describes that power well, but acceleration, WTF? Translation error?) Truly for anime only watcher the only recommendation I have is to not watch this anime and go read the greatness that is VN. If you watch this you will just spoil yourself. Also from what I saw so far, I would not recommend this anime to anyone. Now enough ranting as I long since knew that... this anime will be bad, AND I WILL SURE ENJOY THE HELL OUT IT!!!!! Oh yea! Rewrite anime is here! I have been waiting for so long to return to this world! I love this story, I love this soundtrack, I love those characters and Kotori is the best waifu ever! Gods be praised for allowing me to live till this day and see it all. There is so many flaws in this anime but I love it so much... just by hearing the soundtrack I was already in heavens and Kotori's introduction scene with her chasing the coins... I was crying while seeing it. I was also crying when Lucia showed up, it was a scene with her being the class rep going around punching people but I just saw her and saw storyline in my mind and I saw those gloves..... OH NO THE GLOVES!! I truly wept, I truly did. Lastly the biggest hit the question "You have the power and you are dissatisfied with the world? What will you change, the world, or yourself?" When I read it I read it not in the way it was translated in anime but in the way I still remember reading it in VN and then pondering about that question multiple times over the days, never finding the right answer. But damn, this anime is bad, most people will drop it after the first episode and no one will care but truly this anime has been made for people like me! As I sure hell enjoy the crap of it. (The world is cruel to me though. The three amines I was most excited about this season were Rewrite, Berserk, and Tales of Zestiria. My predictions for all of them was "those animes will most likely be bad, AND I WILL SURE ENJOY THE HELL OUT IT!!!!! So far two predictions were right as my feelings for berserk are quite similar to this. But nevertheless, even if it's only this, I still feel happy and I feel blessed) But truly, good luck non VN readers to make any sense out of it. |
| What a terrible mess of a first episode. People must really love their loli waifus if this is hailed as one of the best VNs out there. This show has no idea what it is doing. or what "scene transition" means. Not every director can be Satoshi Kon but being this incompetent at getting from scene A to scene B should not be allowed. It almost feels like a parody. |

It almost feels like a parody. I agree, the scene transitions were pretty random and bad, and there were couple of bad looking scenes, but the scenes that were animated by Masayuki Nonaka were pretty great (the shizuru intorduction and the scene were Kotarou runs around his room scared) |
| Key anime adaptions are almost never good (even with an competent studio),this has 8bit (an incompetent shitty studio) and to make matters worse only 13 episodes and anime original route at that. Let's seen how this guaranteed trainwreck turns out,betting this'll be below average to average at best if we're lucky. |
| Aside from the subpar visual quality and weird music transitions that pretty much come out of nowhere (it's like they just jammed those tracks in, but they don't quite flow with the episode), I found this pretty enjoyable. This might turn out fine, since they seem to be realisitic with how much content they intend to adapt. |
Z-Dante said: FlamepriesT said: If you finished moon, then you should be totally alright. The anime didn't show ( and probably won't show) any parts of Terra yet. Just moon and some of the common routeWondering if watching this before I finish Terra would be a problem. Anyone? Re: Plus some original development Wrong there, the anime hinted for Terra's scene too, my advice would be finishing that route first before proceding further. |

| VN adaptations are like a russian roulette, i finished the VN recently ( a month ago) and i can say it's all over the place, awkward transitions,best joke skips, convenient character introductions ( Touka doesn't teach in their class and Lucia was supposed to appear at the cafeteria) also skipped lunch with Shizuru. i understand that THERE'S THIS MUCH you can do with 13 episodes but man,whats the rush all about ? 31 minutes in. questionnaire. OK. to the witch! wait what is she doing here ? whats with all those treemen ? krivoy rog... WHY IS THIS HAPPENING ? ROMEO STAHP. I don't even know what are you trying to do but i'll keep watching to amuse myself. |
| Confusing for a casual user, glad that I played the VN and I can understand everything. It wasn't bad after all. I didn't like much the animation but is endurable. |

| I bet anime-only viewers are confused as hell. Too many characters introduced in one go, a minute or so for each one. Only Chihaya got a little more time. Some DEEN-level quality sometimes, but that's not the big issue. |

But in my opinion, it was pretty good. It is OK if you are a VN reader but our feelings aside, most of the anime only viewers are gonna have mixed feelings about it. They introduce almost the entire cast ( with a few exceptions ) in 1 go.a lot of the scenes don't have any impact, they also skipped the first hound part in the city (which was really good at attracting attention). |
| The music... so much nostalgia... Pretty well done adaption from the VN. Though I wonder how they plan to explain the Kagari route to those not familiar with the VN without really explaining how the Rewrite world works first. |
| I thought this was supposed to be good? What the hell did I just watch? The show in span of first episode introduced like few dozen characters to the point that it is hard to keep up who is who. The fact that every single character has cringy and generic character designs does not help. Oh look we are talking to the character who....oh wait we are in absolutely different part with different stuff going o...o look we jumped again. This felt like a huge recap episode in terms of pacing. Directing wise this felt very flat. Stuff was happening and then more stuff was happening but There was no real set up or atmosphere or impact in anything at all. Its the kind of storytelling where you are listening to a friend try to explain ben franklin effect while trying to run after the bus. Story wise this is incomprehensible so far. Reminds me of Chaos;Head mixed with usual horror stuff and Some Angel Beats (tropey characters, the setting, etc). Certainly don't see anything too unique or exciting in terms of story so far. The animation-wise this was horrible, as expected of this studio. But holy hell does this look bad. I think even Grisaia's first episode managed to look half decent compared to this. QUALITY all around. The soundtrack felt cringe and in a lot of cases did not fit the scenes. 2/5 hopefully next episodes are better. |

I finish Rewrite episode 1 I will say it was good the pacing was off but make sense since it's adapting 50 hours of content. I enjoyed all the scenes this episode had even though some scenes I wish they put in. This is going to me the whole time anime is airing I wouldn't care anyone says I'll just enjoy it as adaptation.  |

eslej said: Yeah I know what you're getting at. I just think it was inevitable to introduce people like Lucia this way(kind of shoehorned)To make it easier to flow into their scenes next episode. Which I'm fine with because it potentially means more Common scenes adapted, but maybe not a good thing for anime only viewers unfortunately. Though I thought the general pacing of actual Common Route stuff was pretty good, shoehorning aside.AlexTheRiot said: I know, but if we discuss the plot it will sure end up spoiling the VN here.

| Ahhh so good, I was wondering how they were going to progress from the VN's story but within the first 3 minutes I was 100% behind it, it was so good to hear that soundtrack, a bit baised as a Key and Rewrite fan but I'm exprecting for good things hereon out. |
Sokah said: WTF did I just watch? Infantilized girls, sleepwalkers with a fetish for coins, transfer students with super strength, witchs, ghosts, fairy vampires, boss monster, dimensional travel, dismemberment. Also Colonel Sanders. Art is also Clannadish, but not in a good way. I ROFLed. But all those are good reasons to watch it. There is a tendency to ruin anime series those days.... ok let's hope it doesn't happen, I have good time with Rewrite, first episode. |

My reaction to this episode: Seriously, as much as I want to like this as a Key work, it's all over the place. That weird girl with the ribbons is the only thing interesting so far, and the entire first half of the episode was incredibly generic. |
