About that I don't remember much, but in all honesty if they can probably explain it you'll probably get the bigger picture.

Never trusting VN readers again. They always lie and exaggerate about everything and say how "it's not like the other VNs out there!" Gimme a break. If you like it that's totally fine, but don't pretend it's something more than it is.
At least I can say I gave it a fair chance...


I don't want to sound rather weird or rude but I guess to say, go and read the Visual Novel instead and then you can kind of see why this was pretty much hyped or excited around. I personally cant say why, because by doing so it pretty much spoils the plot itself. And many, many Visual Novel readers from this series knows what I'm basically talking about.

Just my suggestion of course. And no I'm not saying that the anime is great or anything or pretending like it is, since I do have my fair share of points and issues given into the series a bit but I still enjoyed it in a way from a personal perspective point of view. In the end, I get that after this you won't trust anyone that hypes an anime from a source like that but I would honestly suggest you to read it, to technically understand what the hype is around. Of course I'm not forcing you either, that's your decision, but that's actually a suggestion in all honesty.

But hey, if you gave it a chance, at least you did. :T

lol that's not the point lmao.If you really are hoping that Tennouji will Grope Akane's oppai in the future well that's not going to happen.
and if you're confused just keep watching.


I was under the impression that he wanted to get the Occult Club to acknowledge the existence of supernatural things so that someone could help him with his nightly visitor problem, was I wrong?
If that were the case, then wouldn't it be faster to show off his own supernatural powers to enlist help?

That's why I don't understand why he's going through all this trouble to capture some mythical supernatural creature just to prove the existence of one, when he himself is capable of the supernatural.

I lost hope in the scoring system after seeing lain getting 7.9 so yea. I wonder.


Well, after i saw gintama beating fullmetal alchemist brotherhood, I knew that mal is filled with children.

If anyone has a problem with the anime then play the visual novel, if you don't want to play it then don't talk nonsense about one of the darkest stories!

If he proves to Akane that he has supernatural powers, something REALLY BAD is going to happen with him. Kotarou don't know about that tho, but he hides his superpower since long time ago..

The anime really did gloss over his motivation now that i think about it.

He wants to be part of a group and do stuff together basically. Since he haven't been woken up by ribbon girl since he got the shikigami from Akane he considers that problem mostly solved for now. Atleast that how it was around this point in the VN if I don't remember wrong.
There is no sanity here, we are madmen engaging in usless folly.

You're blaming VN readers for hyping it, but it's not their fault the staff of the anime didn't deliver and make it a good adaptation. The VN is amazing, but the anime doesn't really represent the VN well at all. You make it sound like the VN readers caused this to happen LOL.

I'm sorry, but i see no difference between the common route anime version and common route Vn version until now. Anime ver. its just rushing some gags so we can advance to the main plot faster (and of course, Kryvoy Rog apparition)

Please, understand that Rewrite is a Key visual novel, they always follow a pattern of:

1. common route with SoL comedy moe blob + foreshadowing of the actual plot

then

2. heroine routes with the main plot

then

3. main route(s) with the actual conclusion for the plot.

If people don't like the SoL comedy part, they'll drop the show, thats obvious. You're just lying to them if you're saying that the visual novel don't have those happy school life moments thing, when there's actually 20+ hours of content of that lol.

I mean, I thought it was pretty well highlighted at the end of episode two when he got everyone together, and with the way this episode started along with the fact that he's still eagerly doing club activities. Hell, his opening monologue in the first ep gives you a pretty good idea of his genuine intentions.

*facepalm* Not even worth it.

PS: This has nothing to do with the SoL parts, nothing at all, you completely assumed that out of no where. If I had it my way, this anime would have had 13-20 episodes of just the common route with all the great SoL, comedy gold and amazing build up that the VN had.

Some more screentime for Lucia and especially Shizu-chan, good.
Still fast pace, but a little less then ep2. That's okay.
Mixing in some more serious stuff with the SoL to keep the viewers interested, great. Even with some anime-original foresshadowing, well made.
Dat buttgrab was really not a good thing. And even more oppai mentions. For the tropes and discouraging some viewers maybe. Und just unnecessary.

That bathing coat is a HF thing? cool :o

Couldn't agree more. The VN is so good but this? This is just a total ass.
Even Grisaia was better than this. Grisaia's first 3 episodes were actually good, so I had some false hope at least. Rewrite doesn't have even that.

Fullmetal is garbage. It feels like a 4kids american cartoon or some other shit. "The best", lol! To-LOVE-Ru is pure fanservice, nothing more. It's watchable, but I can't say I liked this.

Does anybody else see just total expys of previous characters in Key's previous animes.
Kotori is literally Nagisa from Clannad, except with green eyes and no cockroach head.
Shizuru is Misuzu from Air, except a tad bit less air-headed (no pun intended), and more otaku bait than anything else.
Lucia is... well alot of female characters in key... I was thinking Kyou Fujibayashi from Clannad, but she also reminds me alot of Yuri from Angel Beats.
Chihaya is literally the updated graphics (and a little more chill) version of Makoto from Kanon. They even wear their hair the exact same way.
Akane is just an added character for all the horn-dog watchers. I barely even consider her a character.
The only character in this show that has any interest at all for me is Kagari. So you can pretty much tell already that she is probably the most important part of this show... This show is such a disappointment after masterpieces like Clannad, Angel Beats, Kanon, and Little Busters: Refrain. I almost want to stop watching this.

lol seriously? I'm not sure if you're going more off of character design or personality, but how the bloody hell is Kotori remotely similar to Nagisa??? Same with Shizuru and Misuzu?? Uh, I'd give you Lucia and Kyou for now since Lucia is still the least characterized at this point, but I mean you're just picking tsunderes, we could do this with any anime. Chihaya and Makoto I'll give you I guess, even though it was quickly made clear how much more chill Chihaya really is. And Akane..I remind you that this is an adaptation and not an original work, so she's far from an added fanservice character. Not to mention there's been more than several hints as to her importance in the story.

I mean I'm not a big defender on the way the show is presenting Rewrite's characters and story, and acknowledge that its the fault of said presentation that these misconceptions are happening, but I know that it's not presenting the characters THIS horribly.

I just wish more people would look for that middle ground, but then again, it's the fault of the show so there's no reason people should have to rewatch and/or analyze things with an open mind, which sucks.

Nah man, I have never played through the VN. I'm sure the characters all get better. But I mean come on. I expected this show to be like other Key animes. I thought the adaption was going to be ground breaking. Sure, you can't make all great dead ringers for tv shows, but still. Key anime has a very distinctive way of writing their shows that has gotten them a minimum of 4 (if not 5, if you count both Clannad's seperately) masterpieces. You can almost predict every piece of how this show is going to end. It is completely different from the previous shows, and NOT in a good way. I would say at best this show can be described as a harem show with mystical properties, while the other anime's were slice of life that HAPPENED to be harem, and some had mysticism.

I guess it could get better. At least, I REEEEAAAALLLLYYY hope so.

As far as the characters go, they just seem very generic and watered down. Sure there are mysteries, but you can pretty much tell what all of them are. Here let me make predictions (not spoilers because I have no idea)

The witch is a witch, she just hides the fact because she wants to beat this Kotaru guy, or because she has some past problem that makes her not want to interact/lose with people. (Akane)

Kotori... that childhood story is crock. Her and Kotaru probably just met.

Shizuru and Lucia are on a team. Lucia clearly is a magic worker, probably earth related judging by Kotaru's name for her. Shizuru is clearly fast... cool...

Akane and MakotoV2 are on a team. Akane has a lot of power or something, and she hides it to prevent more power form appearing... I guess

Are you kidding me? Rewatch the part when Kotori speaks in front of the school... If you copied and pasted that video over the video of Nagisa trying to give her first speech about the drama club, it would probably match perfectly. They are both scared individuals that require there SO to be there to give them strength. They both have 1 thing that makes them distinctly unique (dangos, and coins), but other than that they are normal, sick, main character tag a long females. I sure hope that they dont pick her route to follow through in this anime... otherwise it will just be clannadv2

1.- What? Are you complaining about generic characters? ALL Key works have generic characters, except probably Angel Beats! and Charlotte. The thing is that this generic characters have a development, and Rewrite isn't the exception. Ok... the anime probably fails developing them well...

2.- No, your predictions are 95% incorrect and I'm sure that you can not guess what will happen. The story of Rewrite isn't so simple as you want to do it seem.

3.- Kotori and Nagisa similars? Shizuru and Misuzu? Are you kidding me? Your reasons to say that they are similars are so... stupid... really...

I can see where you may get some of your thoughts from, and at this common route bit the characters do seem a bit generic, even more-so in the anime version. With Kotori, I'd say she's more socially awkward than anything. As Kotarou said, she doesn't really have any friends. Plus with a lot of their personalities, learning more about them later on really changes them as characters, as you learn more about their backstories and their motivations. I don't know how the anime will portray them later on, but depending on what we may get we might get a look more into their personalities and character later on. Especially Kotori. She might seem like Nagisa to you at the moment, but once you learn more about her... it will be completely different.

Nah man, I have never played through the VN. I'm sure the characters all get better. But I mean come on. I expected this show to be like other Key animes. I thought the adaption was going to be ground breaking. Sure, you can't make all great dead ringers for tv shows, but still. Key anime has a very distinctive way of writing their shows that has gotten them a minimum of 4 (if not 5, if you count both Clannad's seperately) masterpieces. You can almost predict every piece of how this show is going to end. It is completely different from the previous shows, and NOT in a good way. I would say at best this show can be described as a harem show with mystical properties, while the other anime's were slice of life that HAPPENED to be harem, and some had mysticism.

I guess it could get better. At least, I REEEEAAAALLLLYYY hope so.

As far as the characters go, they just seem very generic and watered down. Sure there are mysteries, but you can pretty much tell what all of them are. Here let me make predictions (not spoilers because I have no idea)

The witch is a witch, she just hides the fact because she wants to beat this Kotaru guy, or because she has some past problem that makes her not want to interact/lose with people. (Akane)

Kotori... that childhood story is crock. Her and Kotaru probably just met.

Shizuru and Lucia are on a team. Lucia clearly is a magic worker, probably earth related judging by Kotaru's name for her. Shizuru is clearly fast... cool...

Akane and MakotoV2 are on a team. Akane has a lot of power or something, and she hides it to prevent more power form appearing... I guess

Are you kidding me? Rewatch the part when Kotori speaks in front of the school... If you copied and pasted that video over the video of Nagisa trying to give her first speech about the drama club, it would probably match perfectly. They are both scared individuals that require there SO to be there to give them strength. They both have 1 thing that makes them distinctly unique (dangos, and coins), but other than that they are normal, sick, main character tag a long females. I sure hope that they dont pick her route to follow through in this anime... otherwise it will just be clannadv2


omg sorry but this made me lol XD

you're never going to guess man, don't even try it..Rewrite is a lot more complicated than that

Again, people that have read the VN should not accuse others of not fully understanding a character that in the anime did barely nothing in three episodes. Of course you do understand them, you have read the full story. Similarly, you shouldn't make fun of people's speculations.

Seems like you both want people to love Rewrite and at the same time can't resist the urge to tell everyone else how little they know about something they just started enjoying, and how 'wrong' they absolutely are. No wonder discussions are going in a certain direction.

Sorry but i can't stop laughing about those speculations wih the little we get from three episodes.
Maybe it is the urge to see everything bad about this anime without even considering it.
Kotori/Nagisa... you made my day.

You're putting words in people's mouths again. I don't recall anyone 'accusing' him of not fully understanding a character. Of course he wouldn't fully understand Kotori at this point, that's pretty obvious, but saying she's literally Nagisa because of one scene of her being bad at public speaking(most people are) is just silly generalizing, especially when the show has shown Kotori's quirkiness quite frequently. It's due to things like that that we're trying to encourage people to make open-minded observations and speculations, not "Oh I can predict how all of this will go, yada yada." It's all coming from preconceived notions or Key bias-whether positive or negative. Of course, like I once again mentioned in my post, the show isn't helping this because of the pacing and presentation of everything, but there is a middle ground(specifically with the characters)that some people are seeing, and others aren't. I'm trying to help people see that middle ground so that they can enjoy this.

I am legitimately sorry guys. I was just afraid that this show was going to be a generic anime. I really do hope that it gets better, but if it stays the way it is, I probably wont make it to the end. I don't mean to say that certain animes by key are better or worse, I was just hoping to see something like the others. I just haven't seen that in rewrite... yet.

So can anyone tell me this. I have not read the VN but I have read Clannads and I know that Key makes their stories so that there are many different possible endings, some that are better than others. Is the route that the show is taking a good route, or is it just been a generic route so far?

It's taking the new, original route. But as for now we are still in the common route (or rather butchered version of the common route with some new scenes).

No need to apologize. I would just suggest viewing this keeping in mind that it won't be anything like the others, because the story and tone of Rewrite is very different from the Key you know. You might have some instances that bring back that Key feel(perhaps next episode) but I think your best shot at enjoying this at least a little will be to view without expectations and with an open mind.

Depends. We'll be seeing a lot of common route actually so I can't tell. And the fact there will be lots of anime-original scenes, that's the more reason I can't answer your question.


I lol to that, it is Key's best common route, the only one where I wasnt bored and managed to just keep reading and reading. Unlike LB! VN.

Lucia has some awesome moments here, as expect from my best girl.

Oh god. I have 0 experience with the Rewrite VN but I'm legitly unsure why I keep watching this. I... think I like it? It's 120% my curiosity that keeps me coming for more, as I really wanna understand what's going on. And I have huge fate in Ryukishi07, but I've understood at as if he only wrote one of the routes in the game?

Yes, Ryukishi07 wrote Lucia's route in the original VN. Although since this anime has a new original route written by Romeo Tanaka who did Kotori, Akane, Moon and Terra routes, I don't believe Ryukishi07 is working on the anime.

The only thing I am aware off from Ryushiki is that in one of the BD or DVD Volumes there's going to be a mini thing from his end, let me check.

Info that I got based from the BD Volume releases a bit.
I might be incorrect but check around a bit.

The first volume of the Blu-Ray is scheduled to release on the 28th of September for 7,000円 (6,000円 for DVD), with a new volume released each month at the same price. Each release comes with a bonus CD of unknown extras, and feature cover art by Itaru Hinoue, the first two of which are available to view above. Animate, Sofmap and Gamers already have pre-order bonuses announced for the releases, including rubber straps and a tapestry depending on who you order through. It's also been revealed that Ryukishi07 will be producing some kind of game to be included with Volume 4. It remains to be seen what this might be, but it should provide some incentive for people to collect these releases. Don't expect anything big; since Ryukishi07 is at the helm, it'll likely be some kind of mini visual novel, something like 'Mio Nishizono's Closed Room Murder Case' that was included in the Little Busters!

Finally some real powers being used, things take a very serious turn along with it, and multiple new characters are introduced. A lot of progress was made in this episode.

So far this anime is pretty okay, but nothing special. It's enough to keep me interested and the comedy is pretty good.

VN readers still kind of forcing people to stay. I'm on the same boat as you guys, but if people want to drop it, let them drop it. If the second half actually does get better, and they don't fuck it up majorly, they can come back.

It'd be nice though, if people actually stopped spending so much time nitpicking at every single possible error and look at the bigger picture. They dropped quite a lot of hints and foreshadowing in this episode.

Anyways, this episode was much better than last. The transitions are still a bit rough, but it was smoother than Ep2. Art also improved from what I saw. Then again, I was eating ice cream at the same time so my attention might have been drawn somewhere else, heh. I don't mind what they're doing with the common route. Grabbing the better scenes from each route's common route is nice. If only it was a bit less rushed, but oh well.

Not enough Kotori this episode. :(
Shizuru was fucking cute as heeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllll though. So much HHHHNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG.
I was hoping for Lucia plate licking, but I guess they opted that it was too weird for the anime.
Nice Akane HF scene. Thumbs up for that fanservice (in more than one way). People complaining about the boob size, but boobs are boobs. SIZE DOES NOT MATTER. THEY ARE GREAT REGARDLESS. /thumbsup
RIP Chihaya's pencil led. Chihaya also didn't get that much screen time. I guess cause Sakuya stole it all justlikeintheVN. Waiting for Shitarou to happen.
Speaking of shit, I'm hoping they do the shithead scene with Yosshi. That had me laughing when I read it. Speaking of Yosshiino, that chunii scene was fucking hilarious. I hope they do Yoshiino scenes each episode. Pray for the anthem guys. Pray for it.
Tsukuno is perfect/10. Business women with glasses and their hair in a bun is such a weird thing for me to be attracted to... That aside, that fat snake bait though.
Kotarou finally uses Rewrite. Tbh though, I wasn't a fan of the activation scene. Needs the "Step on the accelerator." line and more of the little circle thingy with the hand moving forward.
I was surprised to see Midou to appear. How much of a role will he play is the question though. People also complained about the CGI, students and the dog. I see no problems with them. The animations are smooth and they aren't all edgy or polygon-y. What's the problem??? I worked with 3D before (only a few months for school) it's hard shit to make them smoothed out.
saving Kotarou during the chase was also a surprise. They revealed that quite early...
Esaka appears! They better keep his weird way of telling jokes.


Think that's all my thoughts. Anyways, everyone needs to chill out a bit. And just enjoy this not-as-great-as-everyone-hyped-it-up-to-be adaptation.

I'm not forcing anyone at this point. If they drop it then that's actually fine, I'm perfectly fine with it since it's not like it will affect me in anyway personally, and this is coming from a Visual Novel reader too though.

Well... just learned about Rewrite yesterday and decided to watch it this morning. Normally I lurk but as one of the first VNs I played and one of my favourites of all time, have to say I am thoroughly enjoying the anime so far. Sure, it has its kinks that oughta be fleshed out (and hope they do work on it) but I am just happy to see something I love so much to, "come to life" for lack of a better explanation.

This episode was definitely the best so far, though. Seems like they improve with every episode, so I'll look forward to that.

Simply, I just can't wait to see more Shizuru though. My heart just melted seeing her reactions at the lunch scene.

I hope we won't have too much of Lucia beating up Kotarou. I find it funny at first and fine for a few episodes, but it always hits the point where I am just like "ugh... this routine again".

Welp, can't wait for the next episode.

Are they really going to able to follow up on all this? Like seriously so much foreshadowing which is later followed up on in the various character routes, but if they're now not going to adapt them...

After 3 episodes I'm not even counting on proper adaptation of any route, this is, at best, just an advertisement for Rewrite+

So I'm just gonna relax and watch my favourite scenes getting animated, that's better than nothing, I guess.


It's too long to be a proper anime. It's pretty much fanservice for us VN readers.... and I am not at all unhappy xD
