| I still cannot believe Rewrite got an anime adaptation. I remember reading the VN way back in the day and just being amazed at Terra. The first season was not too great, this season stayed pretty well in line with the VN albeit some rushed parts. God, hearing Rewrite (instrumental) during the earth dragon fight sent such a chill down my spine. Even though it's not the best thing ever, the sense of nostalgia hit me hard. |
| I think my problem with season two deals with the fact that I was expecting the gang to reunite and be older a lot earlier then just the final episode. I liked the group dynamic that was displayed in the first season. The story this season was okay, but got a little melodramatic in some places especially with the scenes with Kotori. |
| OK I liked the kiss scene but the rest was.....meh. The beginning of the Terra arc was very good but then we had the pace problem from all the adaptation. Overall I enjoyed more the first season, I liked the funny moments it had. |

| Kind of sad to see it end but even as an anime only I can tell it was rushed. The ending was really good and actually makes me want to play the VN. I'll buy it on steam or if it comes to vita/ps4. Will probably not see a rewrite remake in my lifetime though and it sucks. |
| So my main problem with this as an anime-only viewer is that I can totally see how Rewrite is supposed to be a grand, heartfelt, emotional journey of epic proportions---it has all the right ingredients---but this adaptation has been so lackluster and comical at times, I came with with a big ol' nothing-burger in terms of investment in any of the characters or anything that was going on. I watched the scene where Tennouji stabs Kagari and I was like, "Huh, well that's interesting... I think I'm supposed to be bawling my eyes out here." Such is the way of many VN adaptations, I guess. |
| So yeah, I don't know how to approach this. The episode itself was good and the final scene was very nice but it has the same problem that this series and Season 1 have, the pacing. I'm a Anime-only but even I could tell that some scenes felt rushed and didn't carry much impacted. It's a damn shame since I do like these characters (Key always creates such likeable characters) but because of the pacing I feel like I didn't get to know them that well and wasn't as attached as I should of been. I guess that has a lot to do that most of the girls routes were nonexistent or were given proper time to develop. The only ones that were given any time I feel were Kotori, Lucia, Shizuru and Kagari but even then the pacing issue didn't fully flesh them out. Akane and Chihaya got the wrong end of the stick really. Even some of the supporting cast like Sakuya, Yoshino and Esaka feel like weren't given the time to develop and have me care for them. That is 8bit's biggest mistake here, I can over look the animation flaws (some of them) and it did make me laugh at times but if you can't get me to care about the characters and their journey as a whole, then you f'ed up. Heck I'm one of the few who actually likes their Grisaia adaption but maybe because I knew nothing about it before watching it. All in all, I say this series was fine. I did like a good chuck of it but it left me with wanting more from it. So I would probably give both this Season and S1 a C+. The plus for the small parts I did enjoyed. Would I like a remake for Rewrite, yes but who knows when (or if) that will happen. jc9622 said: Yea, I also want a re-adaptation of Rewrite but we all know that's never going to happen. If it does happen for whatever reason, I hope they give it to White Fox..... Because I heard some rumor claiming that Rewrite was supposed to be originally adapted by White Fox but since they were working on Re:Zero, they had to assign the project to 8bit instead. If that is true, than they should of held off until White Fox was ready to make Rewrite. It could of been a whole different story if they had. |

| I feel nothing but confusion from this show honestly. It had entertaining times but overall... what the fuck |

It's more like there's a higher chance that the heroine routes will be adapted if White Fox will remake this. So yeah, a completely different story and a completely different atmosphere compared to the season 1. |

| After the disappointing episode 10 last week, I really wanted the finale to be really good. Thank goodness it was! =) Admittedly, the fight between Kotarou and the dragon was slightly better than his fight with Esaka, but it was still underwhelming in a way. The 3D CGI was again on the budget side, as was part of the animation, apart from when Kotarou landed sideways inside the tree trunk and bounced off for the final blow. That was pretty good. His final moments with Kagari before he finished her off was emotional. The kiss was also touching as she started to disappear. At least he was able to help save the planet. The five girls all summoned him from the tree, with his longer hair and tuxedo looking nice on him, before he took them to the moon, where his appearance age-wise matched the girls. Kagari was surprised to see them again, but mostly for Kotarou. Their kiss at the end was nice and it certainly gave the girls a shock! =P Overall, season 2 was an improvement on season 1, but my score will be the same as before, with it being 7/10. A strong it might've been, but I felt certain parts of the series felt like the pacing was off, especially in episode 10 and although the animation was better at the start, it went back to being no better than season 1. Although certain visual shots looks really nice, Charlotte still looks MUCH better overall. |
StarFromDust said: Aaww, that's why he kiss Kagari not the other girl. Right? LOLMascera said: but he still can remember kagari :3All Koutarou done so far for seducing a girl. Point of no return with a Greatsword. What sad "memory" is not the kiss, but knowing Koutarou won't make it in time to do some activity with his friends, colleagues, all the people that he have met so far and when he revived... He lost his memories. Oh well, I guess it's time for some "new day". :( |

| Better than the first season. 8/10. Hoping for a remake that most likely will never come, but oh well. |

StarFromDust said: I'm guessing, as long Koutarou still remember about Kagari it will be the same "ending". But IF Koutarou forget about Kagari or even have girlfriend from one of those Koutarou known so far whoever she is, he might get to live on Earth instead. Just guessing.Mascera said: It's funny if you think like that :v. But i wonder what will happen if Kotarou meet his friends and his comrades.Aaww, that's why he kiss Kagari not the other girl. Right?

| As an anime only watcher, I'm sure I don't have this down pat. I welcome any corrections or clarifications from VN readers as I'm sort of swinging in the dark on this, but just to recap: Season 1 sets the scene for the bigger problem. It introduces us to Kotarou and the core cast as well as the battle between Gaia & Guardian over the Key (which takes the form of Kagari). It's one of the many timelines/possible futures for humanity that's cut short due to a lack of resources. In season 2, it's revealed that Kotarou has lived and experienced multiple timelines in which he had a myriad of different possibilities with each of the five girls. But throughout each one, he had always either given up on Kagari as a whole or protected her until the end. In between each timeline, he'd be reborn on the moon, in which Kagari would kill him and he'd start the cycle again. In this case, however, he contributed to her research and helped her find the possibility that would work, with everyone sending Kotarou off to save the world in its final tribulation. And so in this final timeline, Kotarou is significantly older than the girls. From what I gather, this was so he could end the war between Gaia and Guardian and protect them from getting dragged in. As for Kagari, he wanted to show her fond memories in order to convince her humanity was worth saving. In the end, however, he was moments too late and had to kill her to stop the final judgement. After that...I'm not exactly sure what happened. The girls brought Kotarou back as a monster and he rewrote their commands to go see Kagari again? Either way, it was a whirlwind of overwhelming emotions in this final episode. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well as a whole, I found this second season far more enjoyable than the first. Perhaps it was partly because of how the bigger picture was finally forming. In hindsight, the concept of the Earth managing its resources to ensure its survival is very much a fascinating thought to ponder on. It also felt more compelling, especially since Kotarou was stumbling through the final timeline unaware of his past lives and promise to Kagari until the very end. Particularly that time he spent in the war zone was very heavy. In some strange way, it reminded me of the magnitude of Charlotte (only better). 7.5/10 |
 |
| So he chose the loli in the end. Good for him. |
| oh my god what was that ending? looked like a fairytale after all the serious matters, idgi. that was the first time I've watched a 20+ episode anime I have nothing to remember about. literally, I didn't even like any of the characters that much, didn't care for the story, thought that destroying everything for good would be the best ending, though at this point I didn't care about what was happening at all. idk if that's the plot itself or the adaptation really sucks. |

| good episode but not satisfying and there's nothing to remember, i'm not going to talk about how it's bad compared to the vn, so overall good show so did they complete their project or they are still willing to continue ? although i don't think they have the time to do so... (i wish if they adapted lucia or akane's route) |
| so Kotarou basically becomes the next Sakuya, who was also a tree based familiar if i remember correctly. i'm guessing them meeting on the Moon was the spot that Kotarou added to the bottom of Kagari's life grid? here's the game ending for comparison https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiYx50i0tWo. a lot more bittersweet |

| I'm just a little confused...if this was the best path for Kotarou why did Kotori tell him he failed? I mean yeah the earth still turned to shit but some people survived. Was his mission just to protect the girls? I mean they were the ones to revive him and in every other path they seemed to get killed or die. It would make sense to keep them all alive since they summoned him and would eventually lead to him meeting Moon Kagari. Idk seemed a little confusing to a non VN player. All about that kiss at the end though. |

| This season had it's ups and downs but it was at least miles better than the first season. I'd give this somewhere around a 6/10. Pretty good finale with some parts of this episode feeling lacklustre. (lol, CGI dragon.) |
 |
| All this entire Rewrite adaptation has done for me is convince me to read the visual novel. I gave the first season a 5 and this one will be a 6. |
 |
| That ending. .. bawled my eyes out 😭 |
| one thing this adaptation absolutely did better was make Kagari feel like an actual heroine (and main one at that). in the first game Kotarou goes to the ends of the Earth for her despite barely having any lines and thus, no personality. it just made no sense and was one of the reasons the ending of Terra (the farewell scene where Kagari has long hair) wasn't as emotional as it should have been |
| It was decent adaptation. It covered most of the details albeit the execution was lacking. The scenes with Kagari and the battle scenes were just underwhelming. OST still hit me like a truc,k "Sanka" and "CANOE" too strong. I was gonna give it a 6 but since they adapted the ending well(except I disliked the kiss scene at the end) I'm giving it a 7/10 |
 "... Because when you live in this world of my closed eyes... ... Being alone is very lonely...". |
| Well, it is good. Although the rainbow dinosaurs appall with their look in a reprehensible fashion, everything else was fine |
| In time, you will know the tragic extent of my fapping's... |
| I feel a bit disappointed on Rewrite. The story seems rushed because as i observe too many scenes have been fast forwarded. But overall it was OK, it's also great how the progress on the New World turned out to be good, at the same time it's sad because Kotarou endured a lot of pain to accomplish his promise on Kagari. Their Kiss on the moon is so romantic~ |

1032patrick said: After their deaths on Season 1, it turns out that it was just another parallel world. If you already finished watching the 2nd season it shows that after that Kotarou enters a loop in which everytime he is killed by Kagari in that cliff he wakes up in a different parallel world with different routes.Can someone explain the relation of season 1 and 2....After their deaths in season one what happened? Please someone explain..Thanks |

Niyari said: Yeah it enters my mind too when the five summons Kotarou, he just looks like Sakuya. So i think maybe Sakuya is also summoned on the same way but i'm confused because Sakuya exist from different parallel worlds. Does it also apply on Kotarou?so Kotarou basically becomes the next Sakuya, who was also a tree based familiar if i remember correctly. i'm guessing them meeting on the Moon was the spot that Kotarou added to the bottom of Kagari's life grid? here's the game ending for comparison https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiYx50i0tWo. a lot more bittersweet |

1032patrick said: Yeah it's exactly like that. It's like a reset for Kotarou. Hmm. I think Yasmin and his friends knew that the ray of light travelling to the moon is Kotarou because Yasmin is crying when she sees the light, the faces of his friends are not shown.Kyamana said: So this is just like reset for koutaro until he finds a way to save Earth? In the end of season two did his friends in Guardian and Yasmin knew that he was that ray of light?After their deaths on Season 1, it turns out that it was just another parallel world. If you already finished watching the 2nd season it shows that after that Kotarou enters a loop in which everytime he is killed by Kagari in that cliff he wakes up in a different parallel world with different routes. |
| I am not a friend of justice. I am an enemy of evil. STAPLE STABLE |
1032patrick said: Yeah exactly like that. Kotarou killed Kagari at the last episode to complete his mission, and after that he also died due to the overuse of rewrite.Kyamana said: So meaning the season 1 was one of those many timelines where humanity was not saved? Did Koutaro need to kill Kagari as the key to save humanity?Yeah it's exactly like that. It's like a reset for Kotarou. Hmm. I think Yasmin and his friends knew that the ray of light travelling to the moon is Kotarou because Yasmin is crying when she sees the light, the faces of his friends are not shown. |

| I quite liked the 2nd half. Esp dat scene with them in high school uniform was good. The very last scene was eh tho. Hmmm. 6.5 I guess. Idek. |
 |
| Yeah I still dont understand anything. 6/10 tho for the loli's |
