| AH. THE VN's OST. THE PV. I LOVE IT. The character designs gave me the Little Busters vibe, which is a good thing. Now 2-cour please. |

| Is this like this generation's Clannad? Them eyes... The staff don't look very prolific. And character designs look pretty dull. I wonder if it will be a good adaption... |
 |
| With the right budget, this thing will be great. |
| Why is it 8-bit. Just fucking why? |
| https://twitter.com/tensho_tw/status/715931215140761600 Director just confirmed that anime will contain anime original route, developed a supervised by Romeo and Kai. At least they wont ruin the VN this way with rushed shit |
| >8bit Lel good luck Key fans |

| Phew these designs are bland af. the usual VN aesthetic Hope the show doesn't turn out as bad as Grisaia or Little Busters. Jeez. |
 |
| People forgets that isn't 8Bit who is responsible for all the shit that happens on their adaptations. Guys, if anything bad happens with this (like 12 episodes count for example) its Aniplex's fault, not 8Bit's. And lets be serious here: If Grisaia had an 24+ episodes count it would be a pretty much solid adaptation. |
A lot of directors claim to be HUGE FANS yet still end up completely butchering it all (*cough*Takahiro Miura*cough*) Also, talking about that: moodie said: https://twitter.com/tensho_tw/status/715931215140761600 Director just confirmed that anime will contain anime original route, developed a supervised by Romeo and Kai. At least they wont ruin the VN this way with rushed shit Annnd the already non-existent expectations keep plunging down. HIlariously this is the only key work I was close to giving shit about :/ Murasa22 said: Guys, if anything bad happens with this (like 12 episodes count for example) its Aniplex's fault, not 8Bit's.. Atsuhiro Iwakami is a known heartless tyrant but some people still manage to do something good inspite of his ever-watchful corporate eyes. And he is not on this project so its mostly 8bit at fault. |

 |
| And, as is to be expected, so much butthurt over 8bit. Just give it a rest already. Grisaia was ages ago and some people still can't get over it. PV looks pretty damn good, actually. I'm very excited for this. |

Ugh, everybody keeps spreading this nonsense about an "original route" and it's not true. They've already said in interviews that they're staying as true to the game's story as possible. What Tensho's ACTUALLY saying in this tweet is that there's some sort of anime original development within the plot (likely to make the heroine routes actually work). Even in the dengeki interview Romeo said that they're making adjustments to allow each heroine their time to shine. They're not going down an "original route". |

This is exactly what I expected was meant by that tweet, but of course everyone just jumps on the hate bandwagon regardless. If I could pin posts so that everyone would read them before jumping on the hate bandwagon, this would be the one I pin. In fact, I'm bolding it just so that people might actuall bother to read it before reacting negatively to this talk of an "original route/scenario". |

If you were expecting some perfect 1:1 adaptation that has no changes, and is straight to how the VN was, then you're out of your mind, man. With an original route, we would have to deal with a story that's barely an adaptation and probably nowhere near as good seeing as what made Rewrite so good was Romeo and he's only supervising. This is probably the most logical decision. All you're doing is just going out of your way to see this in the most negative way imaginable. |

Also the authors can be involved with an adaptation and the adaptation can still turn out to be shit. "Supervising" is mostly a PR role since you can be overridden in the decisions everywhere. Also not pessimistic - just setting expectations accordingly.Majority of vn adaptations in last year or two were shit. And statements like that do not increase confidence. Especially with production staff like that and studio like that. |

And yes, just because Romeo's involved doesn't mean it'll be good, but it's not completely pointless and it's possible his involvement (along with Kai's) will have an effect on the quality. Honestly, I don't see why you're even commenting on it when you haven't even played the game. If you did, you'd understand why the idea of making some changes to make it work really isn't as big of a deal as it sounds. It's what's needed to make it work as an anime. |

| The visuals were such a let down ;_; But everything else is still promising. The word "original development" giving me shivers. I hope they do not mess this up! Didn't need the subs to understand what Kotarou said: I'm going to re do everything again, And this time...., I'm going to do it better! |

Why am I commenting on the announcement of the production staff which involves mostly people known for messing up things? Maybe because its a news article about a project I am interested in. The director has not done anything of note except Grisaia. And we all know how that went. Its also brought by the studio that created such hits as Infinite Strators, Aquarion Evol, Comet Lucifer and some hentai. There's every precedent to worry or be "pessimistic" about comments like that when pedigree like that is involved. It has almost as many red flags as announcing that Mari Okada would have full control over a script in something. |

Playing the game makes one realize how much harder it actually is to freaking adapt this into an anime. I won't spoil much, but the routes are literally written in a way that you cannot incorporate them unless you skip them and go straight for the true route. That alone is also a really bad idea because the whole concept behind locked routes in a game is because players are supposed to have played the previous routes already. Clannad was an example of game where a anime adaption worked out alright for it. It only worked that way because of how the routes are written in it making it easy to blend and high the best moments. The exceptions were Kyou and Tomoyo's routes where they ended up being made in OVAs. Rewrite has every route literally like that. sanata50lbsb said: Fai said: I have no interest in whether this is faithful or not since I never read the VN.

| This sure is an amazing signature! |
| The PV looks quite ugly I have to say. Lots of bland, washed out colours and overly simplified designs. But I love Rewrite too much so I can't just not watch it at this stage and I will enjoy every moment of the common route regardless of changes made or poor animation or anything, though my expectations will be kept very low for anything after that. I think Romeo is a competent guy that knows what he's doing in terms of adding a new scenario in, but the guys handling the script? Oh boy. Well, I personally don't mind the anime being changed around a bit as a 1:1 adaptation was never going to feel right, but I hope it's not lazily done. |

Well, it was probably all from episode 1 or something , so it's quite early to judge the art. But what we were given to see is average/decent, no doubt. About the script thing; it said in a previous interview from December that the script writers frequently consulted Romeo while composing the script and asking his about his input, so I think it'll be just fine. |

I don't know, two script writers just screams trainwreck to me (neither of which have done anything decent), though if Romeo can keep them in check then that'd be great for all of us. The funny thing about the art-style is that I found the animation to be really fluid and nice to look at, but it's unfortunately brought down by the overall art direction in my opinion. It won't affect my enjoyment or anything, I was just a little disappointed by how the anime looked in the end (I guess my expectations were set a little too high with White Fox's designs), but I will be disappointed if the action scene's look as cheap as the PV. |
| To be perfectly honest, this looks like complete horse shit. This looks and sound like a generic harem series we see every season. I also hate those type of moe big I looking character design. With that all said and done, I wont judge a book by its cover, plus this series seems to be really hype up for the summer season. Hopefully this series will turn out great. Going to come into this with low expectation of course. |

It's really hard to explain why it's not a generic harem without spoiling anything. Actually, in reality, the story doesn't even feature any of those generic harem elements at all. It just so happens that there's 5 female leads. |

I think a good way of calming your doubts is to say that the main writer has stated many times that he's not interested in writing school harems at all. Every time he's come close to writing one, he's gone on to subvert it in some way (his main work pretty much being the Evangelion of VNs). Not to say this is going to be the most mind-blowing, artistic piece of genius ever conceived, but it's a hell of a lot better than Key's other stuff. Romeo himself actually has trouble finding work now entirely because of the fact that he's trying to write stuff different to what you'd normally find in the medium. Guy's pretty much a genius writer in Otaku culture. |
Simplo said: Grisaia was horrible, so I bet this will be bad as well. Same studio, same director. Grisaia was so good specially the ova and 2nd season I hope it is as good as Grisaia Little Busters is boring, I dropped it after 2 episodes Fai said: Director, Series Composition: Motoki Tanaka (Grisaia no Kajitsu) Studio: 8bit RIP project. Before it even started airing. LOL !! Grisaia OVA and 2nd season are both rated above 8 in MAL, so majority people do not agree with you What is wrong with 8 bit ?! They have a lot of good anime and bad anime just like any other studio. |

| 8-Bit seem pretty good at times and so long as Yoshino's there it should be entertaining. By all means, Rewrite could do with some it's fat trimmed off. |
