Murasa22 said: Waaaaaaaaaaaaaait what? Seriously? Last ep was decently paced and managed to tell Shizuru's story quite well, leaving very little out besides rushing the Nishikujou driving scene. This ep on the other hand went from one place to the other every minutes, there was maybe 10-15 lines before it suddenly went to a new scene, and repeating the process. This ep was horribly paced, last ep was far better paced lol.Just rewatched the episode and i still can't see why people are so upset about... The pacing was better than last episode and the storyboard was also handled nicely. Guardian/Gaia reveal was a nice touch to Lucia's backstory conclusion and the last 10 second were hype as fuck. Seriously, wtf people. And I think I'm seeing a different anime here because this wasn't Lucia's route entirely, just her backstory..so why? They explaned her powers and used her for the world building of the main story... |
 |
| From a anime only viewer point of view this is still a huge pile of mess, can't get sense of the show just yet ...dare I say, feels self-indulgently bloated...albeit a little bit better than a few weeks back On this episode production up a notch I think, certain scenes were quite interesting compared to the comparative straightforwardness(or boringness) of the previous weeks The plot is failing in keeping me interested for now |
| I highly recommend checking this guy out if you people want a more constructive and better discussion about Rewrite's episodes in general: He has a lot of good theories about the world itself and my god, he's doing a very impressive job of perceiving things that most people aren't ^.^ |

| I guess this is all the Lucia time I will get. Welp, at least I still got these. |
| They completely raped the first part of Lucia's route. The pacing was insane. Drama doesn't work when you're hardly giving the story any time to build up to said dramatic conclusion. Just what the fuck are they thinking? After handling Shizuru's backstory with so much style, they just decided to get rid of all that was good about how they were handling the show until now (which isn't great, but still good at times) and make a horribly disjointed epsiode with amateur transitions and bad writing? What is even going on? The post ED scene was also very wat. It's way too random. |

OrangeJP said: Pretty good episode I guess Tennouji is the only guy who can be with Lucia now since he's immune to her poison  That is how it goes in the visual novel, whoever, Kotarou knows his powers are dangerous and he only risked going this far for Lucia because he felt more for her than just friendship, the anime waters it down ALOT, the height of the decision he made. He just changed his body forever, but the adaptation makes it seems like he can do this all day long without negatives... First half part of her route almost completely adapted into 23 minutes. Remarkable! Not only devoided of all the thrillers moments, but also soo rushed, you cant feel genuily moved by what happens. I wouldnt blame or shit in anyone that cames to dislike or hate Lucia, since the anime isnt doing a proper job at bring it up what made me like her so much in the VN either, no romantic impact, near the end, it was such a romantic and fuzzy scene and they manage to transform it into just a plain scene, like cool story brah... There are too many things I could keep bitching about, but enough of that. She is my best girl, it is impossible to not enjoy all this fanservice, messed up and flawned, but the feelings and feedback from the VN surely help. And that preview at the end, with Lucia and her katana, in that sexy & cool outfit... I need more of that! I want to see MOAR!! More Lucia scenes please, so I can forget the butchering all surrounding it! I dunno where I have seen that, we got hints to the maid scene, which would be awesome if they adapted into the next episode, but I dont recall since something like the church scene there. Look to the picture, where does Lucia ask him that there?! You cant just call it an adaptation, too much skipped dialogue, that CG art has romance, what I have seen was a 0,5 second hug, which was only there for the sake of being there, instantly followed by the next rushed take. |

| I worked as part of Amaterasu on the visual novel, and I have to say, to see people compare the anime to the visual novel is kind of sad really. We begged Key for an adaption, and they didn't have to give it to us. They stated that it was hard to do with the Gaia/Guardian overlap. But I believe VisualArt's, being a really well off company, was able to produce this with permissions from people like Takahiro Baba, Shinji Orito, Ryukishi07, and Itaru Hinoue. I believe we should respect the anime for being the anime, and leave the visual novel comments aside. After all, this is MyAnimeList, not MyVisualnovelList. Let the polls decide whether this episode is garbage or not, I for one gave it a high rating, because I love my raven-haired beauty. |

TheLittleRedHero said: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Tbh I couldn't agree more at least. Of course, I am enjoying the anime for what it delivers, and for me if it is enjoyable, it wouldn't bug much for me. >___< Squee. Thanks. At this point I just kind of ignore comments about the visual novel itself, because all comments that are worth anything when it comes to the visual novel are in threads that are talking about just the visual novel. Raven-haired beauties are my favorite, and it's my dream to marry someone from Asia with black hair >///< |

That's like daVinci finishing the Mona Lisa and then gutting it with a palette knife. T_T Other than that, yeah, I know this is a Key property, but some of the characters are really similar to Little Busters. (is that a taboo topic here?) Like, Shizuru and Kuu, Chihaya and Rin (sort of), Lucia and Kurugaya, Kotori and Komari (both given names even start with 小 -- "little bird" and "little pinecone"), Yoshino and all-the-other-guys. Can't say that Tennouji is much like Rikki though, and I'm not sure which I prefer. I'll call them different but equal. |

The characters are NO WAY near similar to the ones in little busters... especially the way you compared them: Lucia is tsundere while yuiko is not Kotori while deredere is not an airhead (to some degree) like komari shizuru yes moe is dandere unlike kud who isn't chihaya is an airhead and not dandere unlike rin who is dandere |
| It's nothing surprising, coming from a thirteen episodes adaption. But when you compressed something which took hours for people to complete into a < 20 mins animation is just... WTF MAN. Most likely my least favourite adaption among all the KEY works thus far. |

I was thinking more in terms of character design than personality (I should have specified that). But, as far as personality goes, you're definitely right. There's a big difference. I'm probably more likely to compare them just because they're both Key titles, though truth is, they're pretty common archetypes throughout the whole world of manga, anime, and games. |

| I just realized I haven't drop my regular #RIPGrisaia comment yet. Whoa the Readers vs Watchers War, though typical 8-bit anime =D Anime itself: So, I really hope you people understand why we, VN readers, get cranky over this thing. Of course, once again, we recommend reading Rewrite VN. |
| @TheLittleRedHero @ThePhantomJoker - lol I missed mentioning Tokyo Ravens (I like that, too, though I haven't finish it yet (and I just realized I haven't put it on my list yet either ^^;.)) - Heh I thought Aquarion Evol has more Satelight work than 8-bit. No idea on who did the script and composition since I don't actually watch it. - Have you guys read Grisaia no Rakuen? I did (though with lots of scrambling around since my Japanese are bad) and while they got the plot adapted right, the feel just wasn't there. - Shounen Maid was good, so I heard. But it was Yamamoto Yuusuke (he also did IS!, and somehow turned that pile of s*** plot into an actually enjoyable watch.) Rewrite, Grisaia, was all Tanaka Motoki. |

TheLittleRedHero said: Fair enough. Though one thing I noticed is that Motoki is better at story boarding imo than directing. From what I've seen as well as what Zayd said, he is more nailing into that department. I mean the directing from his end isn't that bad, but it does need some working. lots of working lol. It's bad, very bad. He's an animator. He works best as an animator. |
| Pleaseeeee stoooooooop. Couldn't you only animate the original route? WHY KEY WHYYYYYYYYY I'm an anime only watcher but holy shit, THIS IS SO RUSHED. |
| Drop it.... it's hell... I can't bear to see 8bit destroy akane or terra route like this one... |
| "LUCIA ROUTE" ? "LUCIA ROUTE" ? "LUCIA ROUTE" ? "LUCIA ROUTE" ? "LUCIA ROUTE" ? This is NOT the whole Lucia route! Just her backstory part, thank you. I don't believe that anime will show any route, except Moon or Terra, or this "Original" one. |
| That awkward moment when you become one of the very few persons in the world that can touch a person emitting poison, only to go for a route where you'll most likely be touching her in a very different way. And not in a pleasant way. Welp. I want to hate on this anime, but I love Rewrite too much to do it. So I'll just keep on hating 8bit I guess. /shrug I feel like that ending scene where Shizuru and Lucia are in uniform is just a tease. Though 8bit could just be rearranging things. I doubt it's Shizuru vs Lucia fight. I could be just forgetting a certain event though, Idk. Chihaya, Akane and Kotori's common route backstories are more important at this point. Though we only have 2 more episodes until we hit the supposed Kagari route, which does not work at all, unless they throw ------ in with Kagari. Baaaaaaaaah. I wish I could just play R+ and save me the troubles. |

Considering there's that one guy that's only gotten one scene so far... Possible Chihaya or maybe even Akane set up then. Unless this first cour really is just 100% common route, I don't see them using an episode for more Lucia/Shizuru. |

| Despite how rushed everything feels I'm still enjoying this show. Maybe I'll check out the VN after it's over. That preview looks like some shit is gonna go down next ep. |
 |
| It's a shame they rush these character arcs. Mystic hands of death perception... with a Mai Kawasumi twist, except in Kanon, Mai had a good chunk of the series on her arc. |

| All the characters in this show seem... Complicated |
| Good ep. Don't know why every vn reader is dissappointed by the suuden reveal that this anime will be rushed, they should be wiser for their experience in watching a long vn adapted to a 13 ep series was going to be rushed, no surprises there. Still, Lucia was sure a good match for our flippant Koutarou but still I am a supporter of air-headed childhood friend. Also, was Shizuru lying when she said about Lucia 'convincing' herself that she killed plants and animals, when we know she IS responsible for withering??? |
rinneganfire4u said: Also, was Shizuru lying when she said about Lucia 'convincing' herself that she killed plants and animals, when we know she IS responsible for withering??? She was half lying. She's not exactly allowed to tell Kotarou about Lucia's poison but the part about how she killed the plants and animals is probably true. |
 |
| Lucia's backstory was rushed, but it was better than the previous episode. I'm happy that someone can touch her, she felt so lonely. |

How can you possibly adapt Moon/Terra without explaining each heroine's backstories? You need to stop and think about how they're supposed to explain Terra with everything focused only on Kagari... They even said months ago that each heroine would have enough time to "shine" before the original route starts. I don't know why you're surprised.. |
| I think what bugs me the most is that they've done nothing but just rushed, alter, and cut all the other routes. What the hell happened to this original Kagari route? This anime would have been a lot better spent having completely focused on this original route. I don't qualify alternations of already established routes as original, that's bullshit. While I was not a supporter of only focusing on some original route that no one cares about and wanted a normal and faithful adaptation instead (that's a given), I'd take the former any day of the week than what we're getting now. This is Grisaia all over again. Now we got 7 episodes left and they'll probably rush Akane and Kotori's routes as well. There will not be enough time to make this original route compelling. This is beyond being a terrible adaptation, it's just becoming a mediocre show on its own merits. |
