Will Rewrite become anime of this season or will people easily dismiss it as a generic harem?

Except that Rewrite is a good story. An amazing one at that.


Not really. Having three writers made it messy and full of plot holes. Plus the characters are underdeveloped outside of Kotarou and Lucia.

Basically its just a poor mans Saihate no Ima, it even covers many of the same themes. But because Romeo wrote that to be confusing and boring I will give Rewrite credit for being more entertaining than it. So yeah while I would say Rewrite is kind of fun, it's not very satisfying due to having no clue on what it really wanted to be.

Rewrite isn't like other Key's stuff, thats why is praised so much.

The plot is very philosophical and also with loads of plot-twists and dark themes.

You can even compare Rewrite with Evangelion (Moon route is more psychological than Eva btw)

So yeah, its one of the best VNs out there.


So they aren't focused on forced "feels" and being overdramatic? Guess I should check it out then.

Hey, give them a chance. We can always talk crap if it sucks.

I went into the first episode completely blind.

After the 48min long double episode I was completely blown away. I hadn't heard anything about this visual novel except that it was a visual novel adaptation. I was really surprised how well it kept me entertained and dazzled the whole time. I think it had great little mystery and a great start.

If I were to have complaints it would be that one CGI scene with the.. Scorpion? Crab? monsterlike thingy, it was kinda off putting..

It feels quite generic in some ways. and by generic, i mean that it feels like when most key vns become anime. i dont play the games, but sure watch the animes, angel beats being my favorite.

Now what feels generic, to me is that its not surprising me at all. now is it a good anime so far? yes, it is. But, is it impressive? not by far. reminds me of Inou-Battle's supernatural aspects, and the third episode, when he did the dark flames Chuunibyou joke. But i do like how it doesn't take a strong focus on the harem aspect, like most vn adaption do.

>Rewrite is probably the best Visual Novel ever written

I'm curious to hear your arguments to sustain this opinion. Not that VN are my most favorite thing either, and honestly I might skip this show, but hey, if this other guy persuaded me to read this harem about a guy that pays 5000 yen for a room and gets invaded by cute ghosts, you might change my mind on this one.


The best, far from it, but its definitely in the top 10% of the english translated ones. What you're seeing from this adaption is a highly condensed version of it. The original VN didn't have perfect scene transitions either at times, but this is exasperated by its lightning fast pacing. Its like having Meat and Potato soup without the meat. Thats not to say that a potato soup cant be appetizing, its just not the same.

Well, to be fair, Lucia's route was finished first which is why its so much different in tone and where it branches off than the other characters. Yeah, I'll give you that the story is pretty inconsistant, and there were a few plot holes regarding kotarous abilities. The fact it has 3 writers isn't that big of a problem. The main story was written by one person, so that isn't an issue.

Can't be bothered to read and filter through every comment on this thread but will this be a harem end or do you think theyll follow A route of the VN so he ends up with one of the girls?

Official statement is that it will follow a new route not in the original game, it will supposedly focus on the ribbon girl.

I would say they'd need some pretty drastic changes to get Rewrite into a harem end.
Though they did say something like wanting to give each heroine some time in the spotlight, which already feels like it might require some drastic changes.
There is no sanity here, we are madmen engaging in usless folly.

Weeks later, anime heads towards rushjob status.

I cringed watching this week's episode. Especially at the end.

The first episode was very good, I was impressed, but the rest was pure garbage. I dropped it after 4 episodes!
