As a non VN reader, it really feels like they are just blazing through the story at lightspeed. One moment its just slice of pointlessness and then next minute they drop the whole backstory on our face with character dialogue sped up 1.5x times.


Well, you're totally right off the bat.

Good thing I've read the VN, so I can at least swallow this despite it's unbearable to watch. If only I don't have any knowledge to the VN... only God knows what kind of opinion I might give...

Do you really need to give us condensed versions of all the heroines' backstories in one episode each? That's 5/13 episodes wasted right there. I mean even if it's just the backstories and not their actual routes themselves it's still useless. Sure, giving the other girls some characterization is fine, but jesus you've only got 13 episodes to work with here. Give them their spotlight in their everyday scenes from the common route like you did in the first three episodes and then proceed to Kagari's route, don't waste time by half-assedly taking snippets from the other routes just because you can. The pacing is all over the place this way

Fucks sake...


I think Kagari's Route will just feel lost if we don't get to know the backstory of the other characters. I mean...




And your point on introducing the characters in the everyday scenes. I mean yea they could also do that, but it will look like everything is just scattered all over the place. They're just gonna get more mixed up and there'd be more confused fans, imo
Well we can't really make predictions on that front since we still don't know what Kagari's route will be like exactly. But yeah sooner or later I think you're going to have to accept the fact that Rewrite is too complex to do a standalone anime original version of in just 13 episodes. Before too long, something's going to crack

Really just being optimistic, cause maybe they've prepared something grand for us...or not, can't tell now. But I'm still crossing my fingers! :)

Good episode, the pace is fine and overall it was a sad story
I wasn't planning on dropping Rewrite any time but it reassures me to see interesting things, at least now I can proudly continue watching Rewrite...

I'll be blunt, this "adaptation" is absolute dog-shit. Tanaka must have finally gone insane after realizing he wrote Cross Channel.

This is the best episode for me so far its good for only 13episodes and that means the anime only get to know the other characters in more depth. Still sad that this series in 13episodes though.

Gotrys in particular is the MVP for trying to validate his own opinion as much as possible while spreading misinformation.


you think this is bad, just wait until a Muv Luv adaptation comes out.

point is, lots of people have expectations, considering how good the VN is. And the creators did promise something both newcomers and readers could enjoy.
the results? well, they are as you can see them.

They mixed heroine's common route in one so... you know. And why Lucia outbursts? You can read visual novel or wait for next week. But if you want to get more best experience, you should read visual novel for more detail and development. Lucia's route is the best heroine route in Rewrite IMO.

Well, I mean the content was clearly there and from a vn reader's standpoint they covered a lot of things, but how the backstory was presented and the music choice are very questionable. Introducing Lucia's backstory at the end was very bad. Pacing still a complete wreck.

Pretty abysmal, but still recoverable. Unfortunate considering how good rewrite is as a story with cool characters. Coming in with low expectations from now on.

This. So this. Especially that CC part.


Cross Channel is the only objectively fantastic Visual Novel. The rest of the medium is let down by its own subservience to the tropes. Even Rewrite, which I love, is heavily let down by the fact that it's stuck to the VN harem trope that has no importance to the story. At least Cross Channel had the intelligence to criticise those tropes and turn them on their heads, whilst fitting an insane amount of layers and depth to its ideas and message. Seriously, Cross Channel just doesn't get anywhere near enough recognition as it deserves.

IMO, i still think it's Key's fault because i feel like they don't give a f*ck Rewrite with extremely low faithful for fan. Maybe because not Jun's work. Look at Planetarian and this. It's completetly different! I feel Key just throw Rewrite low budget anime and say "F*ck u this is your Rewrite anime and SFTU". Even Aniplex. My respect for Key is lower and lower now after Charlotte and Rewrite anime. At least i feel Romeo try his best to mix all shit to one although extremely low budget it can't give faithful adaptation because low budget.

This was to be a route Kagari, do not know why they're putting the story of other characters by placing a route 8/9 hours in one episode, they will do so next week with Lucia? And after all the other heroine? I thought it was to be an original anime, are 13 episodes, and will talk about all the heroines? (Sorry my very bad english, please)

Imo, the cross channel fan here shouldn't make his/her opinion into fact by stating that it is "objectively" the best when people like different things.

The next person starts to blame the poor adaptation of rewrite because it was not Jun's work. There is such a large disconnect between these two things that I don't even know where to begin. There are just so many factors that we just don't know that are far more likely.

But I digress, this is MAL and I don't expect much more than this kind of thinking.

My hopeful guess is that they will somewhat cover all the heroines by episode 8 or so, and then finish the "new route" with kagari. Next season will then just be moon+terra.

I deem, they will present each heroine's backstory and "quirks", because otherwise the story would be idle. Anime-only entities would be in bigger perplexity in which they are located now if it would be only about Kagari. But the second half of that anime is certainly reserved for Kagari.
In time, you will know the tragic extent of my fapping's...

This episode was the best imo. They managed to wrap up some Shizuru's development and



pretty well. I literally can't understand the complaints from the haters (well, thats their purpose in here i guess, to hate no matter what happens).

And yeah, this thread is getting really toxic and i think that we need some cleaning from the mods.

As an anime-only I felt the episode was fine.
Yoshino is a don xD

Shizuru's back story was really sad and it must have been really hard to have her parents forget about her. Perhaps the way in which her backstory was told might come of as fast but Imo it served it's purpose and had the impact it was supposed to have.

I'm still very interested in the lore of the world and why these superpowers and creatures exist.

So Lucia's backstory is next.

Will probably need to read the VN to understand what all the complaints are about, Then again you can't really expect the anime to be as detailed as the VN.

I have to admit, Shizuru's backstory teared me up and yes, there were a bit of tears in my eye but it wasn't on the same level as Clannad After Story or YLAI.

Don't you mean Akane's route?

I actually enjoyed Shizuru a lot, a bit rushed towards the end, but not the worse.

Akane instead had an awfully slow pacing that dragged for too long with nothing happening at all until right at the end where everything finished in no time...

Sure, kotarou being completely boring was a lot more fun to read than he actually changing himself during the route and for the girl. But yeah, fuck character development unless they become a tree right?
