Synopsis
Rewrite is set in the fictional city Kazamatsuri where tree-planting and afforestation have caused the city to become overgrown with trees and flowers in much the same way that other cities are filled by buildings. However, while most of the city appears to be rural, there are many traditional city elements as well. While set in a modern setting, the city also gives off a strange sense of nostalgia.
Tennouji Kotarou lives here. He's a high school student who has the ability to rewrite his own body; he can become stronger and faster at any time he chooses. He investigates supernatural mysteries with five girls from his school. (Source: VNDB)
The series is based on the Japanese visual novel of the same name developed by Key and published by VisualArt for Windows. It was released on June 24, 2011 and was later available on the Playstation Portable, Playstation Vita, and Playstation 3 platforms.

Jeez where is the goddamn childhood friend tsundere?
Friend told me that he started playing the visual novel due to the hype surrounding this project.
Apparently it features dramatic filled events such as 'a girl is stuck on a tree and our heroic protagonist has to get her down WITHOUT looking at her panties'.
Truly an insurmountable and heroic task!
I sure hope this doesn't turn out as bad as Little Busters wafu de nano desu.
I have a feeling this may turn out bad, but the lack of childhood friend tsundere disappoints me. I hope there will be some redeeming qualities since I loved Clanned.

The seiyuu, she always seemed like phoned-in lines.
Maybe it's just me, but I thought Risa Asaki did a good job at portraying Lucia.
She is almost there, so I understand that people like her, but in some very key scenes she tries much too hard and sounds counterfeit, especially when sobbing.

What kind of change are you talking about? Her design? Seiyuu?

It's a silly VN with literally zero suspension of disbelief, and I was hoping the official synopsis would communicate that fact properly so anime-only watchers wouldn't spew the episode threads full of WTF posts about it being "a stupid comedy".
Other than that, I was hoping Lucia would get changed, but I guess she fits the half-comedy half-serious setting and plot.

Honestly, Kyoto Animation (and probably J.C Staff) is the only studio I trust when adapting a "Key" VN so I'm not getting my hopes up for this anime
To be honest that just depends on the director at hand, not the studio. Although the director was behind Grisaia no Kajitsu so I get you I guess?
Then again Romeo Tanaka is in the project as well (as in probably involvement) so there's a chance it might turn good, but I go 50-50

kind of frightening.
Although, there's a good chance of it being at least better than little buster. I mean, no Yanase Natsumi among the seiyuu (so far...), and seiyuu like Chiwa Saito and hanakana.
As long as they don't screw up on the music side, this should at least far more bearable for the ears than LB was. As for the scenario, cliché characters, and poor animation, that can hardly be worse than LB anyway.
So yeah, that's probably going to be better. Plus it's probably difficult to reach such a low level other than intentionally.

If there's one thing we can count on, it's that he'll knock it out of the park, and every scene with Kotori and Akane will be gold.
