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

You know how things works, if the first few episodes aren't edgy enough for their pretentious taste it won't create any hype and attention.

And it bothers me considering that Rewrite is probably the best Visual Novel ever written and yet the lack of hype and attention it's getting from both casuals and elitists is absolutely mind blowing.

I seriously hope it's going to get the same treatment as Clannad or Steins;Gate and these motherfuckers are going to be a little more patient instead of dropping this show right off the bat.

I will seriously be pissed off if Rewrite won't get the most ratings and popularity for this season.

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..

Well wasn't any and all hype destroyed when it was decided it will be 13 episodes with an anime original route?

First episode was alright though, have to see where the plot wants to go.

It's from the same company that made Clannad.

Though it should have been KyoAni that made adaptation for Rewrite, not some irrelevant garbage studio like 8-bit.

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.

To be fair I just found out that the director for Rewrite anime is the same director who made the 2nd animated OP for the Visual Novel so there is still hope.

How am I suppose to do this without spoiling you? How about playing the damn thing yourself or watch some youtube footage of the VN and I already said PROBABLY because I know some fanboy will get triggered and disagree if I did said it's best Visual Novel ever written.

And here is the opening for the VN so this will give you an idea what the series is all about without completely spoiling you.

Went in blind, Nothing epic yet. The scorpion thing looked weird but otherwise the show looks pretty good. Voice acting is well done. A lot of characters introduced but several of them just seem annoying. I'll keep it going for now but it will need to step up the story a bit to get anime of the season....or else everything else will have to be poor.

Nothing really special yet to be honest.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

Why would you get pissed if it doesn't get the most (or you mean high?) ratings and popularity? If it's good, then it should naturally get good ratings and gradually become popular. People who disregard it won't affect its rating, since I trust MAL users don't rate something they haven't watched.

A lot of us have read the VN, are you saying that we should watch this just because we read the VN? Sorry that's not enough of a reason for me, if it's bad, or uneventful, then it would just be a waste of time, and as a 13-episode anime that is supposedly not based on any route in the VN, it doesn't look promising.

I'm going to do the smart thing and let MAL judge it first and convince me to watch it later if it's good.

I'm also a huge fan of Rewrite, considering I like it more than Clannad but you sound like you sold your soul to it, don't project that onto other people.

We got spoiler tags. It wouldn't be the first time I watch a show spoiled about the big plot points, so don't worry about "ruining my experience". I watched a show knowing one guy died. It was painful, but I carried through because it was a good show for me.

>How about playing the damn thing yourself or watch some youtube footage of the VN

I asked about your opinion buddy, not where I can watch it. Nor that I need you to tell me where to, I've watched VN's on youtube already.

>I already said PROBABLY because I know some fanboy will get triggered and disagree if I did said it's best Visual Novel ever written.

And I want to know why you call it like that. Take it less as an attack and more as an inquiry about what you see in it in order to be amazing.

Because there are fuck tons of people on MAL who has negative confirmation bias towards harem anime.

I never said VN readers have to watch this anime, stop putting words on my mouth. I already know a lot of you are already genuinely pissed including me because of the 1 cour show.

The whole thread itself is for people who never read the VN so stop projecting yourself onto it.

I'm just pissed how MAL works and how shows with the most edgy early episodes gets the most attention per season while others that gets good latter on generally gets shat on because of the whole dumb 3 episode dropping rule.

I guess I misunderstood you, but that still doesn't explain why you would get pissed off at how the adaptation is received.

I happen not to care as much about other people's opinions on a likely poor adaptation of one of my favorite VN, is that so unreasonable? Again, I've heard that it follows it's own custom route that wasn't part of the VN. It's hard to even associate this adaptation with the actual VN.

If some of us VN readers don't see any reason to watch it, why should those who haven't? just tell them to read the VN already!

From the cover and synopsis Rewrite is not appealing to me but it could change. However your claim for being the best visual novel there is says nothing to me since the competition is not that interesting.

Too bad it's already objective fact that Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward is the best visual novel ever made--Rewrite didn't stand a chance.

That's always going to be the case with visual novels. I tried Nekopara so I can understand that the animation in visual novels is definitely much less fluid than that of anime which allows them to be much longer for a similar production cost, but I still don't completely understand why they bother adapting visual novels into super rushed anime. They may as well just release the first bit of the VN with better animation rather than trying to adapt the whole thing and failing miserably.

Did I miss something? Because the only thing that blew me away about episode one of Rewrite was how bad it was. There's already way too many girls to keep track of (especially when we've only got one cour to work with - Air had much fewer girls, and even then that was too much), the school uniforms are somehow even more ridiculous than the rest of the Key VNs, none of the characters' personalities stand out from the ones in, say, Kanon or Air (like how the Clannad characters are all so lovable and memorable), the show has a poor understanding of how gravity works (cough cough jumping over that gate), the show throws all these confusing things at me one after the other and expects me to understand them (Where is he now? Why? Who are these fairies? What's this big thing? What's the logic behind this? WHY DOESN'T HE QUESTION WHY HE HAS BITE MARKS ON HIS ARM? WHY DOESN'T HE QUESTION ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS?)... I found so many things to dislike about it already, and I really want to know why everyone thinks it's so great. To me, so far (even accounting for the fact that the adaptation probably sucks), Rewrite doesn't seem like the "best VN ever." It's not even the best Key VN ever (Clannad is).

Somebody, please put me in my place. I'm the kind of brain-damaged monkey who can't drop anything he starts. Please, give me a reason to enjoy this anime every week!

Well it's not getting any attention because of one word... "Harem" for one there are so many harems that people just don't hype for new ones, even the harem watchers. Two there is an increase of people who rather see better things being produced rather than your same old same old harem bullshit (I am one of those people)...

Except if they are produced by KyoAni then they can get away with it. Clannad was a harem and yet everyone loved it just because of all the KyoAni prestige. Let's face it 8-bit is a trash studio and doesn't have any influence among casuals and elitists anime fans.

(.-. that doesn't change the fact that Harem is overused and mostly shit, so new Harem will get no special attention. Wether you like Harem or not doesn't really change the fact that it is seriously over produced and produced poorly, overall giving the genre a bad rep

Not trying to go on a propaganda tbh but I will be clear. I won't say that it will be anime of the season. Because the reason being is because of the first episode, we can't say that just yet. Of course, content is rushed but at the same time I wouldn't mind much since its pretty much the Common Route, but at the same time take into consideration for Episode 1.

Don't look at the spoiler unless you have read the entire VN.



It might be considered Top 15 or Top 10 but I dont think AOTS would be that simple Or it might end up as a disappointment. But I have my standards.

Btw in the case of the harem thing... I think people are mixing the term and classifying it as a harem when they see more than 5 girls. Sure



But the voice actor for Kotarou said that it isn't from what I remember. I honestly dont even consider it as a harem even imo.

While you aren't wrong about 8bit and why they keep getting presented these kinds of adaptations idk. Regardless, it wasn't KyoAni prestige that made Clannad, as you referenced, get away with being a harem. ALL of Keys games are harems by and large. The harem tag associated with Key adaptation is pointless to compare to any old harem. But back on point, KyoAni got to adapt good VNs and adapted them well. They didn't get away with anything. 8bit does suck at this I feel and personally the hay day of Key VNs has come and gone. I'm not saying Rewrite is bad but it's no Clannad, Air, or Kanon imo.

Also to OP...welcome to 2016. You hit the nail right on the head.

I'm not saying this will deserve top anime this season since it's been one flipping episode and nobody can predict this shit but besides that point, even if this does turn out to be very good those who aren't watching it now for whatever reason will watch it later so it'll get it's credit if credit is due. Again, IF credit is due.

The whole "is it gonna get rushed?" question is getting beyond annoying bc it's been said to death that the route is going to be original. While prob a lot of standing things will be pulled into this, the end result is original thus a 13 episode constraint might not be a constraint if it was written as such. But again, who the fuck knows? Nobody. It kills me how elitist VN readers dive into this when from episode 1 this is doing a completely new route.

If a story isn't presenting itself as decent to begin with, no one is obligated to force themselves into waiting for it to do so.

The way I see it, if one has to drag oneself through a certain amount of content just to find out what's so great about a series then they have all the reason in the world to drop it. That's not to say that series like this are bad, but it's only natural that if you feel like you aren't interested in something you would want to spend your time on something more convenient.

I'll never understand why people worry so much about everyone's opinion but their own. This anime not being highly praised by others won't be the end of your life. Worry about your own feelings about it and your own experience with it. What do you stand to gain seeking the approval of others about something you like?

Well... the original route thing isn't sure how it goes but its just me. Its just going to focus on "Key" (to prevent spoilers Im posting the name of what every VN reader calls without spoiling) but the way? I dunno. It's an assumption. (btw Im not attacking you Im just saying my piece of my mind)

They never implied that everything would completely original tbh. It's only the 6th additional route that will be original (for this first season)

Right. We have all seen that article. It literally says: Rewrite anime's story will portray a "sixth" route left untold in the game, which will tell the story of "that girl." I don't know exactly what you mean by saying they never said the whole thing will be new but since the "story will portray an untold sixth route" I'd say it's safe to assume you can't compare this adaptation to any one route in the novel. As I said it would be expected for them to pull standing material especially at the beginning ie common route to tell this tale but how it will unfold is anyone's guess. It's not like this is a multi route adaptation or that this will be multi season. Assuming this is a one shot 13 episode thing. If it turns out not to be then sure all that is assumed wrong.

Only one route is supposed to be original... http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/daily-briefs/2016-04-18/rewrite-tv-anime-features-untold-6th-route-about-that-girl/.101190

They never said the whole thing will be. Unless you got something that says this. If this isn't what you were implying, you need to phrase your wording better.

Right. We have all seen that article. It literally says: Rewrite anime's story will portray a "sixth" route left untold in the game, which will tell the story of "that girl." I don't know exactly what you mean by saying they never said the whole thing will be new but since the "story will portray an untold sixth route" I'd say it's safe to assume you can't compare this adaptation to any one route in the novel. As I said it would be expected for them to pull standing material especially at the beginning ie common route to tell this tale but how it will unfold is anyone's guess. It's not like this is a multi route adaptation or that this will be multi season. Assuming this is a one shot 13 episode thing. If it turns out not to be then sure all that is assumed wrong.

People in the other Rewrite General thread (That I locked), said stuff regarding "look forward to the first half of this seasons rewrite." The emphasis was on "First half". You'd need to find the exact talk people did on the thread, but don't quote me on that. I still think there'll be 2 cour minimum.

Ya all conjecture at this point. Imo mostly because people don't want to believe Rewrite would only be given 13 episodes. I can agree with that given it's popularity as a VN. Personally, I'm just hoping I get a good story out of it. Definitely staying out of the general thread after this first episode lol.

But back on point, KyoAni got to adapt good VNs and adapted them well.


lol No. Did you read Air or Clannad? KyoAni didn't adapt them well.

Air was ultra-mega-super-rushed. In Clannad so much sub-routes were eliminated, a character was eliminated, common route was very rushed, and two main routes were adapted in 1 OVA each one. But people don't say anything because they never read the visual novels.

Given how VN adaptations tend to suck most of the times, ep count and first impressions from the ep, I see legit criticisms of the show. However, I will give first half a chance b4 dropping it as always.

they can't fit this into 13 episodes, unless those 13 episodes is all 48 minutes long like the first episode.

This was a sad thing to see, i believed Rewrite would have around 50 episodes, lol.

Well its not like they're going to do that... I think they will focus just on the girl with white hair in the second half of the first season (just to make this sound more clear).

If this was the case (the entire 13 episode fitting 50 hours or more worth of content) then it would be just as bad as the Berserk 2016 anime. (Just saying)

Saw the first episode and I didn't like it and I can see why it would be considered a generic harem, I kinda consider it that way too. S;G first episode was way better.

I don't think it will become the anime of the season, I also don't think it will be considered a "generic" harem. Let the show prove its worth by itself. It's only the first episode, only impatient peoples and hater will drop it. In any case, you shouldn't care if it becomes the best anime of the season or not...

It never had a chance of being AOTS, only 1 episode in and there is already a large number of people who don't like it.

The only thing that remains to be seen is will it end up being the worst Key anime adaptation of all time.

Anime only viewers, including myself, still loved it. So KyoAni obviously did something right. I hope Rewrite will get the same treatment from 8bit, and that anime onlies will warm up to it.
