| It's weird seeing the comments of "anime-only viewers will be so confused at this", while I understand some got confused, I wonder why my sister (who didn't play the game) didn't get lost at all... oh, well, could be that I never stfu about the game when I was playing it. I wasn't expecting much about the art since the PV, but the animation was surprinsly fluid. At this point idc about what they make with the storyline, since it is... impossible to be like the game is, so I'm going to enjoy what I'm offered. I shall say I didn't like Lucia's introduction, forced infodump. Kotori and Shizuru my daughters, I hope to see my man Sakuya soon. |
| Overall, I felt was really good. Probably helps that I had the lowest expectations possible. Animation and character designs were pretty low-tier as expected, but it looked better than I thought it would. Kotori....Chiwa Saitou owned this episode. I'm glad they kept her character's charm in check. Shizuru is still an adorable Goddess. Music is fantastic as it always has been People saying it's rushed, you have to remember that this is not really an "adaptation" of the Rewrite we know and love. Common route, sure...but from everything I've read in interviews and stuff, it's going to focus on a newly created route for Kagari. If that's incorrect, and they're just skipping to TERRA...there's no way they're gonna fit it all in and have it be properly told within 12 more, 24-minute episodes. Just not possible IMO. So let's pray what I heard is correct, and that it will focus on Kagari's story only. Maybe we'll get the "Real" Rewrite in the future. For now, this was very enjoyable.8/10 for this episode edit: I will admit this probably made very little sense to people who didn't read the VN. I feel bad for them. |

Playcool said: I just hope they dont bury the series more than they already have done, with going the shorther route, just to promote the VN, instead of doing it justice an adapting every major plotline. It's literally impossible to adapt every route IMO. They'd need 40+ episodes, since it's length was similar to LBs and Clannad..and those required that many. This Kagari-focused route seems the best option for to test the waters, I guess. |
|
| Terrible 3/10 dropped. |
 |
| Cool premise so far but the lame art and shitty CGI kind of ruined it. Add some jokes about a schoolgirls panties plus flat boring directing and I'm not very impressed overall. |

kamisama751 said: AlexTheRiot said: 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) So you know what an omnibus is? Then why do you ask me? Nothing should get better, if the directing sucks in the first episode then it sucks forever. Directing is one of those elements that won't change through the show. lol that isn't what omnibus means. Omnibus is a format of storytelling. I think you're looking for 'harem ending'? In which case, it won't be that either. And yeah in terms of directing I don't expect drastic improvements, though quality will probably vary for certain scenes. But we were talking story composition, which should get much better. |
 |
| As someone who has not read the VN I didnt have a clue what was going on in this episode. All I noticed was the poor CG and high levels of Moe. |
| It was okay, the common route stuff was fun as expected, but I'm not feeling the new material at all and everything is being introduce far too quickly. I guess it was too much to expect anything out of a Key VN being squeezed into 13 episodes. I'm kind of on the fence between not watching another episode and forgetting about the existence of this anime or watching the rest out of curiosity to see what the original route entails. |
| I love Rewrite so much! I want to say more about it because I love it so much but that's the best way to say it that I can think of right now. Rewrite... <3 |
| I think they did an alright job at doing the VN justice, although I'll admit the later scenes were a bit out of place, considering where they are in the VN. Either way, I'm excited to see where they take Rewrite in the anime, as we know it'll be an original development. |
| VN adaptations trigger me |
| Gil and Pani shown this fast - too rushed... People who haven't played the VN would get too confused :P. I only played Chihaya's route for now. I guess I really should clear the rest - I only heard of Terra and Moon routes so I don't know too much about them. Must check them out. But I'm still happy seeing all the characters animated. Especially Chihaya and VN players's favourite Yoshino :). |
| And here it is, Grisaia no Kajitsu anime version vol. 2. Incredibly rushed, awful production values, especially that artstyle which reminds me of a worse version of Clannad's, the only good part was Lucia, that being 30 seconds, and that godlike opening by the end of the episode. Everything else was inconsistent, boring, and all over the place. Solid 3/10 for the first episode. |

| uhm.... wtf was this even about? .__. |
AluSsak said: uhm.... wtf was this even about? .__. A boy being stalked by a moe girl at nights. |
| Yo, are all of these episodes gonna be 45 minutes long? |
| Another key anime yay. Must prepare tissue for the emotional parts |
| I like how people are saying: "This is confusing! 1/10 worst anime" Dude, this is the first episode and only serves as an introduction to the setting and characters. Be glad that they've put some action scenes because its not like that in the visual novel. Also, everything will make sense later, so no worries. |
| Overall I found it great fun, but the meetings took place very quickly and the girls were not very well made and the scenes were not as mood with the VN. But still I expect much of this adaptation. And I hope her a lot in the next episode.  |
 |
| I enjoyed it. I liked the common route but from what I see here it's quite rushed, they chose to introduce the character over the jokes which i guess is understandable since it's only 13 episodes. Well this first episode was alright I guess, they did what they wanted, show that Rewrite is not a normal harem slice of life but in consequence the first episode is quite a mess. Hope the next episodes are better, and I'm really excited to see the opening. |
| Akane's "Welcome, gypsy, to my secret room" was shown well :). I wonder if they'll animate [or somehow mention] my favourite scene :): |

Murasa22 said: Because it's literally a terrible first episode for anime only people. Did you not see those character introductions fly by you at mach speed? I sure did. Compared to most Key shows, the character introductions don't go that fast. The place is all over as a first episode. You're only looking this at your perspective because you read the VN and a lot of people judge harshly by their first episodes.I like how people are saying: "This is confusing! 1/10 worst anime" Dude, this is the first episode and only serves as an introduction to the setting and characters.

| Don't know what to think about this yet, definitely feels like a typical visual novel way of story telling which I'm not really fond of. I'll give it a 3-4 more episodes. |
 I'm not a VN reader, so that was exactly what I felt watching this. It was really generic and boring. And the art was ugly most of times. I got myself rooting for Cthulhu at the end. I'm dropping it and I will try to play the VN since people are saying it is good. (I mean, to go as far as trying to say this episode as not as bad is because the source must be really loved xD) |

Also, if you went to Rewrite's anime page (Official JP one), you'd know they said this: TV anime will debut on July 2nd with an hour long special |

| Do the tomes that transfer student was carrying have any connection to the occult room bookshelves?

| People keep mentioning how Kotarou's sudden internal monologue of "Accelerating" being confusing for Anime only viewers... What exactly is the problem here? Yes he has some strange power. OBVIOUSLY they'll expand on it more. We see the power is to be used in dire situations. Cool. Can't wait to find out more about it. Half the critiques I've read on this thread are so full of crap. The soundtrack being out of place (I don't even know where to begin with this one), "I, as your class representative" (its like its the first time you've seen a character in an anime talk like that), Chihaya "hating" Kotarou but being compliant (uh hello? Tsunderes? Even if you complain about the cliche, he DID save her and it wasn't like he could avoid seeing her panties). On another note, more complaints about CGI... Name ONE freaking anime that has what you would call "good" CGI. Literally everytime CGI is present in an anime, there are hordes and hordes of people saying "Bad CGI". I don't get the excessive hate for CGI... Yes character introductions are rushed. I have to give you that much. |

Every single person who read the VN for the first time wondered the EXACT SAME THING. The people who haven't read the visual novel are in the same position VN readers were when they first read it. |

The visual of the Earth forming during the opening monologue is relevant to the story of Rewrite. As a VN reader, yeah, 8bit certainly rushed it. I didn't like how Tensho literally introduced the enormous cast in one episode. |

therandomestguy said: I missed the memo that 24:00 and 00:00 both refer to midnight. Apologies to Alex but those times could have been still due to scheduling conflicts on release day (which was not the case).23:30~24:00 is 30 minutes though, dude. Am I missing something here? With that out of the way, I'm now super depressed. I had hope that the anime would do alright if it was essentially a 2 cour show that aired within 1 cour. But I need to tone down my hype, now that I know its only going to be standard episode lengths from here on out. |

| この世界には。。。秘密がある |
| I really hope this doesn't put people off the VN... Rewrite is seriously on the same level as the likes of Clannad, if not even better. It's really frustrating to hear people trashing Rewrite like this, but this episode was a trainwreck. I don't want to constantly compare this to the VN, but what the hell was up with the pacing? I realize that they're trying to cram a 50+ hour VN into 13 episodes, but this was a little ridiculous. For starters, what on earth is doing in the first episode? The supernatural stuff is kept really subtle for a large part of the common route, this just completely kills the suspense. I'm not going to even bother going into all the other issues. This is the first time I've actually played a VN before watching the Anime adaption, now I'm finally starting to realize why VN players get so angry over adaptions like Grisaia no Kajitsu and LB. Rewrite is a work of art and they're trampling all over it. I really hope this anime manages to redeem itself somewhere along the line. |
