The full version is actually from this arrange album, I hope they use more tracks from it as they're all beautiful. Wow, I meant to listen to this album when it first came out, but somehow I completely forgot about its existence. Now I can catch up on it, thanks! |

| I really like the OP with Kagari and Kotarou, soothing to hear imo. Overall it was an entertaining start. So his hard work payed off and he was able to make Kagari smile at the end, after numerous failed attempts. Seems like they are in another timeline, hopefully the coming episodes explain. |

| its mysterious... i like it! |

| You guys anime-only viewer are confused about the timeline of this episode? Well, me, who'd finished Rewrite 99% also not sure when this happened. Moon route was hazy for me, I only remember Terra and five girls' route. But damn chihaya was so cute here!! I didn't remember she was this cute <3 |

| So much better than the first season, I had more feels in one episode that in all the previous season. Very good start |
| I was admittedly confused at first, but I started to understand what was going on in this episode. Seeing Kotarou dying over and over in his many attempts to approach Kagari was pretty brutal, but he eventually succeeded with three cups of coffee. His tears at the end after he finally succeeded was touching. =) Another thing I noticed was the animation, which was noticeably better than the first season. The CG monster during his dream sequence looked decent, but compared to Hand Shakers, it looked excellent... The OP dance sequence with Kotarou and Kagari was beautifully done though, but it was only for about 30 seconds long. Why couldn't have been 90 seconds long instead? T_T Overall, this was a good start to season two and I'm sure the questions I have for this episode will be answered eventually as the season goes on. =) |
| Well, at the very least episode 1 seems to meet my expectations. It wasn't bad. There were a few nitpicky things that i didn't really care for, but besides that, honestly if they just stick to the source material, and pace it reasonably, it'll be a solid adaption. tfw I think about the potential rating dissonance between the first and second seasons. |
| I liked it. I think this season will be better than season1. Looking forward to see next ep (1 week waiting...:( ) |
 |
 Man, after Kotarou did an "Edge of Tomorrow" kind of thing, he finally was able to get close to Kagari, but not before doing a lot of 'Live, Die, Repeat" with her, get it???LoL  |
| Amazing episode. It was bit emotional at the end. Those deaths were brutal tho :c I know tidbits of the things since I read spoilers during S1 but they're still confusing af. Just a question tho- |

| wow, this one episode was better than the entirety of season 1. Some glimmer of hope has been restored. Just copy the VN exactly and maybe at least this season will be good. |
 |
| Ah, I actually forgot to give my impressions on this episode... So, the first thing I want to say is FUCK YOU 8bit! Like, seriously, fuck you. You go making a nice first episode of one of my favourite parts of Rewrite (aka Common) and then ruin the fucking rest.. Okay, got it but THEN you make a fucking nice first episode of my second favourite route in Rewrite overall (aka Moon) getting my hopes up and probably gonna drop them later... Uuuu, I can't believe I'm all hyped up for Rewrite second cour... Welp, they showed bits of the other routes probably as some kinda gift for visual novel fans BUT they barely put in anything about my favourite route (aka Akane route) so I can't say I'm happy... Lucia's route at least got half of it adapated so it doesn't really matter... I sure hope they won't remove a certain line Kotarou says in Moon... "Trying to win me over by using my favourite BGM for the OP like that? I suppose that's all an inferior anime studio could think of." pretty much sums up my reaction to the OP. Also, my favourite scene in Moon was in this episode, the one where Kotarou hangs around town, I guess they did it fine. I was expecting them to do something like seeing memories of his past lives with each girl in each place he goes to but oh welp, it's fine as is. Ugh, I hate to admit it but I loved this first episode... I guess I'll at least accept it as a nice birthday present, thanks, I guess? Uuuu... I can't wait for next episode... |

Lelouch0202 said: Well that was quite something, It was interesting but as a person who has not played the VN this leaves me with quite a bit of questions. So what exactly has happened to the world now? As I understood the previous seasons, the world was being rewritten into some kind of basic state. Here the world seems to be a post apocalyptic state. There was that scene in the beginning with Kotori trying to shoot Kagari and then Shizuru crying as Koutarou was about to disappear or something. There's also all the flashbacks and memories Koutarou seems to recall of the group. I assume this points to different timelines where different events happen and he's somehow remembering all this in whichever timeline he's currently in or something. Also how exactly does he keep respawning like that? Why isn't Kagari able to talk? What is the thing that Kagari is researching on? Is it something like the 'World Lines' from Steins;Gate or something? Way too many questions man. Would appreciate if someone could summarize how the current events came about unless of course it will be explained later. Also Koutarou death scenes were quite brutal, I think if they had kept it that way instead of making it comedic in the middle, The final reunion would have been a lot more emotional. Uhm, WITHOUT SPOILERS1 in the VN there are 5 routes. And they basically just summed that up. The endings of each, s1 was anime only. So yeah they are different timelines. |

I was actually surprised by how this first episode was adapted. I re-read through the moon route to see how they did yesterday, and read up to the part where Kotarou starts to cry. It was all adapted pretty well, I had completely forgot him crying in that part of the VN so I was actually surprised. This gives me a bit of hope, since of Moon and Terra's linear story, so far they're doing it well. I'm still going to approach cautiously though, don't want to get hopes too high. I'm curious on how they'll do next episode, considering that is when Kotarou does that special thing with his Rewrite ability, just wondering how they will visualize all of that. I'm most afraid of near the end to Moon, since it's just going to be a CG mess of ugliness. Terra should be great, though! Hopefully... |
| i have no idea what the hell is happening but i like this more than the first season and that OP was simply amazing |
 |
Been almost 3 years, still waiting to playing Harvest Fiesta! Like, the now, official translation is sure taking its time... On topic, it was cool introduction, lots of death scenes, I m glad they used ending scenes from some of the heroine routes, but it sucks they didnt use Lucia's, by obvious reasons, yes, but while seeing Lucia and her sis (want to play it soo badly), it would had been better if they used Lucia's scenes like the sunflower camp or the farewell on the sunflower field. Nice to see Kagiri back, that development she got in S1 that made her so more adorable than in the VN, was some real nice context for Moon. Getting ready for the feels trip. |
 |
| I mean, this episode was funny and kind of decent, but...WHAT THE HELL. Didn't they all become a tree at the end of S1, for some reason? Aren't Kotarou and Kagari friends? Why is it almost like she doesn't recognize him anymore? Why does she keep killing him? And why is he stuck in this weird world with her? What the HELL is going on? Reset? Restart? I don't understand a damn thing. |

I don't understand a damn thing. xD You'll understand pretty soon (Moon is really short, i would say it will be 3 episodes or 4 max) But at this point should be very obvious that Kagari's research connects with the worldlines which Kotarou lived. Thats a hint to understand whats going on and what will happen in the next 2 episodes. |
| For something that has such a pacing, they leave out too much detail. Hell, I've read the stuff and even I get confused at times in this episode. But hey, at least it's not as much as a plot butchery as Season 1. |

S1 Kagari after being hit in the head (episode 8), isn't the VN Kagari anymore, it's anime original (some one can say she is the Kagari from another VN called Rewrite "Harvest Festa" but it have nothing to do here) because they tried to create a route for her in the anime. You should remember Kagari before episode 8 S1. |

Even if she didn't had that personality, she "should" remember Kotarou as well, but thanks to the information in the spoiler tag, she won't. And yeah, the S1 episode 8> Kagari is from Harvest Festa branch, not anime original. |
| Well, i don't know what i've just seen but i feel extremely sad. Basically, Kotarou can relive/dream his previous lives/routes? And Kagari doesn't remember anything? They will probably explain what happened in this episode a little later, maybe in the last episodes. Now i want to see them all together, like in that cover pic. Btw Kotarou had some nice relationships with the girls ;) ´ The theory of life. *_* Amazing Gif, thanks @Eienatsu |

| Great first episode! Liked all of the random flashbacks to Kotarou's different lives. |
 |
| My head hurts. Guess I'll have to be patient. |
| welll Why is it so much confusing already.... I hope it makes more sense |
 |
ibraheem234 said: welll Why is it so much confusing already.... I hope it makes more sense Oh, in the VN this route was a really confusing read, so it makes sense that you're confused at the moment. Everything should hopefully clear up within a few episodes as the Moon route ends. |
| My only gripe is that Lucia scene. There were a lot of better options |

| For a person who actually played VN this episode was not too bad, but for someone who hasn't.... Well, at the very least, it was very nostalgic to me. Especially OSTs |

| WHY IS EVERYONE TALKING SO LOUDLY AND AWKWARD? This is borderline incomprehensible... All these death scenes are completely dumb. All i can say is that this was quite the mess of a first episode back. That end bit with the bond development was nice though. |

A very varied episode in terms of scenes, although to be honest I did not understand anything. Anyone who has played Visual Novel to explain?  |

MaximoHentaisama said: A very varied episode in terms of scenes, although to be honest I did not understand anything. Anyone who has played Visual Novel to explain? You will understand very soon, no need to explain anything beyond of what has being showed in this episode. Just pay attention to Kagari's "research" and how it connects with Kotarou's past lives. It's not that hard to understand... |
Thank you, I will pay close attention to all the anime ... everything  |
|
| This is better than the first season but it still feels like something is missing. I don't know what it is, but it just doesn't feel as emotional as the VN. 4/5 for now, I suppose. |
| Well were off to an interesting start with this one. Seems like our MC has been reliving life constantly and we got a nice glimps of the various outcomes. The majority of which didn't exactly end well, while a few of them seemed to have pretty long happy endings. I look forward to seeing how things will go with this season. Also, Kagari and her coffee are great. Coffee is the answer to everything. |

| I was pretty confused throughout most of the episode but I guess that's normal for anime-onlies like me. Despite that, this episode was rather interesting. I liked the mysterious atmosphere and the music worked very well. The pacing was also so much better than S1. I came in with pretty low expectations, but now I'm thinking this may end up not being all that bad after all! |

Eienatsu said: FYI. Some fan translations translated "familiar" as "monster" in the opening scene with Kotori aiming the gun at Kotarou. She is indeed referring to Kotarou as a familiar in case anyone missed that due to the poor translation. Hopefully the implications of this might clear up a few things. I can't remember Season 1 talks at all anymore. Was Kotarou "situation" from Kotori route even explained in the anime? This misunderstanding should have been clarified long time ago for anime onlies. |
| I honestly expected nothing after the disastrous first season, but this episode actually makes me rather hyped. It looked pretty good, I just hope they don't mess up Moon/Terra now. Also disappointed we didn't get Rewrite, but I guess it makes more sense to use it for Terra. |

| Holy fluffernutters! It was... good? I can't believe this! Am I in another timeline? I mean, the art is still pure dog shit (even I can draw better than that!), but everything else was spot on. Color me fuckin' impressed! Waiting for the next one. Don't fuck this up again 8bit. |

I'm still giving it a 6 for now, it really needs to PROVE itself for that score of mine to go up, that first season was so bad (this is coming from someone who read the rewrite vn and got hyped about the anime and then gets disappointed) |
