But yeah, it could have been a good scene if this adaptation weren't so bad. The reasons for the club being shut down were the same as the VN... The point is the VNs common route went on for ages your supposed to get feels although in the episode it is a bit more drama and you dont hear the MCs voice in the VN for this scene but if they did full common route then viewers would definitely feel more attached but a lot of them didnt really feel anything although even if it isnt a great adaptation as a VN player watching these scenes do bring back the feels even if they wern't executed that well. |

The point had nothing to do with the original comment. If they did the full common route there would be even more people complaining about the plot going nowhere. |

| It obviously was way different from the VN but I liked it a lot. Time for the Kagari 6th route? :0 I'm also pretty happy that I got an "amigo" out of Kotarou lmao. AMIGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! |
| Not sure what to feel about this. Like on its own it would have been a very good episode, but due to the lack of proper buildup it just doesn't come across as well it should. Also the CGI on the familiars was cringey as hell lol Still though I was a bit curious on how they'd do the Akane/Chihaya vs Shizuru/Lucia confrontation after starting out with Guardian's reveal prior to it but I guess they sort of made it work. Just wondering what Kotarou actually thought about it now that he won't be from a truly neutral standpoint to begin with |
  |
| Yoshino is a true friend :). It was an amazing episode, I didn't expect to see action in this one and then the fights came from all sides. The big monster was not so bad in 3D |

| Pretty interesting and good episode, but it felt like from 1 to 100 instantly. Some scenes CGI were not that good, well not that bad either, just very noticeable. |

Gaia is evil but not all of their members are If you have read Akane's route you should know that even Is not really evil per se, and again if you've read the VN you should know that Gaia unlike Guardian |

All I said is that this scene should have felt believable and meaningful scene rather than melodramatic and forced. As a consequence of the rushing and poor execution, this scene couldn't have been much better. Without proper character development and a certain degree of attachment, you can't pull off this kind of scene properly because it's not believable. |
| Everyones been talking about the veloceraptors and wolves, but what about that weird ass Pokemon in the sky?!? Seriously, what the F was that thing?!!? It looked like it sucks some stuff out of Kotarous arm or something.... what in the world was that?!? |

| Nice episod but i don't understand where we're going, with those guardians friendly feels on Kagari's route. Loved the leaf dragon's scene and the coolness of Akane but black star sickeness seriously... Still waiting for Yoshino hoot-blooded action. |
| Welp |
Fayt89 said: CursedFein said: If you have read Akane's route you should know that even Is not really evil per se, and again if you've read the VN you should know that Gaia unlike Guardian In my opinion (this is really personal lol) |
*under construction* |
| Omg they are part of gaia |
Fayt89 said: CursedFein said: If you have read Akane's route you should know that even Is not really evil per se, and again if you've read the VN you should know that Gaia unlike Guardian Well overall this episode was quite good, though the occult club part was pretty meh but understandable atleast. I'm guessing it'll go down the Kagari route now, gonna be interesting to see how they'll implement Sakuya, Akane and Chihaya's pasts into that. |
 |
| I see more fairly low ratings this episode. I get that it's a little frustrating that we are essentially going in blind and none of this occult, organisations, rewriting and Kagari stuff has been explained, but I'm actually thoroughly enjoying the ride and no it didn't feel rushed. The demon things were pretty cool but perhaps quite strange and unfitting with the overriding animation style. Clearly more questions are raised from this episode though. These 2 organisations and their links to what (particularly the evil-looking occult one with chihaya and the president) will hopefully be explained soon) and WHAT DOES KOTORI KNOW? Now that the loosely connected club group seems to have been split up, I am certainly interested to see what happens next. Enjoyable show but the way it keeps us non-VN viewers totally ignorant to everything going on can get a little frustrating. We're only on episode 7 so there's plenty of time for big developments and revelations. |
| Wow, a whole lot of action packed in this ep. Visually upsetting but content wise was too much, it seems. After missing for 3 days, the students called police and after 5 days (total), police unofficially called off search. Did they only search 2 days for a missing person in a forest?? So eventually the faction affiliation caused a rift between the club members. Ghost girl saves Koutarou and seems like she has some connection with Kotori. |
Fayt89 said: CursedFein said: If you have read Akane's route you should know that even Is not really evil per se, and again if you've read the VN you should know that Gaia unlike Guardian Also since we're in it, for me is even worse the fact that |

G_Spark233 said: The reasons for the club being shut down are supposed to be bullshit. But the resulting dramatic reaction from Kotarou is not supposed to feel forced or fake. Kotarou has spent weeks together with the rest of the club by this point in the VN, doing hijinks like the mystery cases in episode 6 and stuff like the Tsuchinoko event in the courtyard.

But yeah, it could have been a good scene if this adaptation weren't so bad. The reasons for the club being shut down were the same as the VN... He's always longed for a sense of belonging and a "standard" highschool life with real friends and not just acquaintances. Just when he was starting to get close enough to them to truly call them friends, the club is being disbanded. Ever drift apart from people you thought were friends? People tend to take being able to see each other every day for granted. If you don't have a reason to keep interacting with each other and you guys aren't ALREADY friends, you kind of just stop talking to them. How many people do you still talk to that were from your middleschool / highschool? (These are all rhetorical questions if it wasn't clear. I'm not actually looking for an answer, just trying to get people to consider things.) |
| Sakuya is such a boss, takes Lucia's attack and leaves with the girls. That's right he doesn't carry one girl, he carries both Chihaya and Akane in mid air. My favorite episode thus far, mainly because of Lucia and Shizuru going boss mode. The scene with the hounds was sort of gruesome, for a moment I thought they would tear his arm off. Things just got very interesting. How will the group cope with the sudden revelation that Akane and Chihaya work for Gaia. |
 |
| Here are some of my favorite shots Sadly lots of these great moments where destroyed by the horrible sound effects and zoom effects, they are still pretty great shots tbh  |

| Animation is still horrible, especially that CGI, but eh, I loved these scenes in the vn, so it's hard to hate them here. Despite that, after just a few episodes it's difficult to feel any connection between these characters, in the vn OkaKen's club activities at least lasted a two weeks, or something like that. And in the anime, not counting previous episode, we barely had any of their interaction, it felt like a few days. Not a fan of that... Anyway, I wonder what's next. It seems kinda like Kotori's route for now, so hopefully we will FINALLY get some Kagari next week. |

| jesus fucking christ what is even going on. And that CG was fucking horrible. |

We're only on episode 7 so there's plenty of time for big developments and revelations. At that point in the story the VN reader's did know even less, since neither organisation was explained at that point. Or hinted at. Or anything. Only thing we knew at that point were the existance of demons/monster/familiars. |
Scratchy99 said: Man this episode was disappointing, almost bad in my opinion. Here's what I thought was good (note that I haven't read the vn Lucia confirmed best girl Yoshino is a bro I'm less confused about the plot but not by a lot That plot twist... Kind of Here's what I didn't like. The clubs forced suspension in the beginning wasn't all that emotional since we only really know Shizuru and Lucia with the rest of the cast being irrelevant since they haven't done anything or haven't to got to know them. The 3d rapters were out of place and horribly animated Fight scenes were bad How did kotarou not get his arm ripped apart with that wolf biting the way it was. I was actually kind of expecting that since shizuru could probably attach it back ( I don't know if its even possible since I haven't read the vn to know the extent of her power). When those two were revealed to be with the monsters it didn't feel that impactful since I really don't know anything about them. If this show maintains this kind of quality until the end I would give it a 5 or 6. Sorry if i seem too negative or critical since I'm watching Clannad at the same time as this and that show has already made me shed a tear which means it probably get a 10 since very few shows do that. I'll still watch this show to the end though and I'll read the vn once the official English translation comes out, with low expectations. Since no one is replying, I'll be the one to explain the things that you don't like where they should be good. IMO, its not even supposed to be that emotional even in the VN. It's something to be pity for Kotarou since only he treasures the club that much. The raptors, can't say anything about it. The fight scenes are actually better than the VN (IMO). It's because the fight scenes in the VN (atleast my favorite ones like in the Akane, Moon and Terra routes) is somewhat realistic or dark and far from what you see in Shounen mangas. Rewrite is FAR from Shounen. Come on man, Rewrite Powers. He might look weak but he is sturdy you know. IMO, it should have a lot of impact especially for Akane. It's not shown much in the anime but in the VN, every supernatural things that Kotarou investigated was reported to Akane and every one of them was explained by science by Akane herself. So in my perception, she looks like someone who denies every supernatural and firmly believes in science. The hints for her being attached to Gaia is almost non existent at least in Common Route. The scene where she said that humans should be better off extinct was before they even give a hint about Gaia. Though I'm saying these, I actually don't like the anime. Also, having a critical anime-watcher as you is a plus because I don't like it when someone blindly defends something that is clearly bad.Yes, even in my all-around, most favorite story of all which is Rewrite, the anime is bad. |
Nice shots there, just like the OP, nice Lucia shots. CG was weak, pretty weak. At least Kotarou befriending Lucia and Shizuru more made some changes to this ending scene of the common route, they still all left him in the end, but at least we got to see more union here. Besides Moon, we never seen Kotarou and Lucia fighting together, or she protecting him, so it was kinda refreshing. Though they teased us with Lucia battle suit and still didnt showed anything of revelance! |

(I just checked, it was) Well it's not so good in the anime IMO as the first part of the song was covered by Kotarou's screams so it hadn't so much impact. Rewrite was such a pleasure to listen at but it feels kinda wasted with this anime. |
| Welp |
| This episode just about ruined the series. From the blatant CGI to the piss poor direction of the battle scene to that awkward Wolverine claw, it's clear that the rest of the series is going to look ugly as fuck. They might focus all their efforts on one great scene, but it's pointless if everything leading up to it is terrible. I expected much more visual appeal from a Key adaptation. |

Terrible director + Low budget studio can't expect much really although the raptors is what stood out, the wolfs and the leaf dragon were fine but the raptors were ugly af although i handled it and will still give this anime an 8 unless more terrible things occur because its Key and just seeing the rewrite characters again makes me happy. |

| What the fuck am I watching This is literally just classical music away from being Mars of Destruction |
 |
| Sakuya... I'm laughing, he went away carrying both Chihaya and Akane in his arms. They could do that scene better. Not a bad episode. Had some intense moments. The conflict is nice. |
 |
| This anime keeps getting interesting! I hoped I have played the VN so I can understand the story very well but still it is enjoyable to watch. |

| Wow that was unexpected for me pretty good |
 |
| The lack of Kagari is disappointing, she comes in, saves Kotarou, and Kotarou wets his pants...like dude she's saved you MULTIPLE TIMES NOW. Just accept her love! Wasn't really too shocked when I found out Akane and Chihaya we're with Gaia. I wonder what Kotori's role is, I mean she can definitely see Kagari but just REFUSES to answer Kotarou. This anime kinda got outta hand but whatever. FInd Inoue please. |

| i honestly have no idea how i feel about this anime - im an anime-only viewer, so i can't compare it to the vn but for me this series has gone from a 10 to a 7. i generally like most of the story line, and the characters (shizuru is waifu ^-^), but i do feel things are a bit too obvious - i knew from episode 5 (or maybe it was 4? i don't know, when the occult club president was talking about how the world ending wouldn't be so bad) that pres and chihaya would be on gaia's side. just the way things went, especially with the butler, it was obvious to me. im also not the biggest fan of cgi, but the cgi in this anime is just :/ i really hope the weak points can improve though because i do believe this anime has a lot of potential, i've enjoyed most of it so far and am definitely trying to get my hands on the vn |
ibraheem234 said: jc9622 said: So are they going to explain how Kotarou got that Wolverine blade-like shit? The pacing is actually a lot better than the previous episodes and I feel like the plot is about to begin.. I also got to see my best girl Lucia being a badass xD...Though, the fight animation felt really underwhelming. This was a good episode, finally. 4/5 I agree with you still the complexity baffles me We won't learn about Kotarou unless they decide to go into his past. You can see some hints in the flashbacks he has and a bit in the opening in the relation to his arm. The pacing is only better now because we've finished the 100+ hour common route that had to be cut to fucking bits, lol. We're going into unknown territory next episode or the one after for anime-only route (think next episode will be more on Kotori if they're going to follow the same route start-up as the VN). So many people complaining about the CG though. Yeah, the raptors did look derpy, but the dogs and leaf dragon looked decent. The only thing I think they could have done differently was not mix the 3D with 2D animations. ie, blood, getting attacked, etc. Though I think the leaf dragon's tongue was 2D when it was attached to Kotarou, Idr. If it was 2D, I don't know why they couldn't just follow that with the rest of the episode... If they swapped to 2D when something 2D was involved, then I think it would have been fine. I mean, imo, the CG here is better than what the Grimms (just the Grimms, mind you, and the trash mob ones at that) in RWBY looked like. But that's just me. Maybe working a bit on 3D models myself makes me slightly biased cause mine were shit, LOL. Also, some of you guys (and other comments I've seen on other sites) are saying about how Kotarou needs to stop being afraid of Kagari. If in the OP and flashbacks we've seen Kotarou have multiple times doesn't say that he only kind of slightly remembers what happened to him before, then he is 100% right to be wary of her. Add in the fact that she has all the properties of a ghost...annnd how she completely obliterates all the familiars that attack him, then yeah. We might know she's not scary and moe as fuck, but he doesn't. Though I'm sure he'll be over it in the next episode or two. Other than thaaat...it's certainly has gotten better from what we had before. I guess they were saving all their budget for the second half. Directing could indeed use a bit more work, but hey. I'm satisfied with everything so far. Though I'm just trying to be positive given how much negativity MAL has, aha. |
