Rewrize is the best anime of the season, because it gives you that 2007/2008 feel.
You know, back when anime was actually still good.
Ok.
But is it actually good, only reminiscent of it?
Yeah, back when we were stuffed with shitty VN adaptations. Thank God we've moved past that and this shit is going to flop.
>>143927862
Its good because nice characters, setting and music.
>>143927862
It's literally the worst kind of anime, this degenerate art style always gives me nightmares to when anime was so unbelievably shit, this is the worst show since Charlotte, it's terrible.
Gao.
>>143929507
Now we are flooded with shitty LN adaptations instead.
Obligatory
Spoiler-free Rewrite synopsis for animeonlyfags:
Rewrite tells the story of Kazamatsuri Bond, a 27 year old agent of U.N. Special Ops (UNSO).
Bond was an edgy kid, he enjoyed killing bratty children's parents in front of them.
He fought the terrorists of the Greenpeace conglomerate with every drop of his blood, no matter how many dinosaurs they had.
Both factions were fighting over a nuclear device called the Lock, which could destroy the world.
During one such battle Bond was defeated, and put into a coma because of the nuclear device.
Now at age 27, after waking from his coma, Bond decided fuck it and to enter school again, because he still looked like he was 17 from nuclear radiation.
Well he actually has amnesia as a side effect, but he just wants to live it up at school like he never got to.
He wanted to get a girlfriend, mess with his best friend, join a club, become a TV reporter and grope some girl's tits.
To get all of this, he joined a club where he reported on Paranormal stuff with the other members.
Little did Bond know, the members were all undercover agents of UNSO and Terrorist Greenpeace!
His childhood friend also turned out to be the girl whose parents he killed. Apparently she resurrected them into plant zombies, because she's a magical sage.
One friend is a UNSO top agent, one friend has a servant who is Bond's alternative universe self, one friend is literally worse than Hitler, and one friend is a walking biohazard.
If that wasn't enough, the Lock turned up again, starting another war. The Lock is actually a cute deadpan girl, with an obsession for Bond. She sneaks into his bed at night and haunts him.
To top it all off, Bond's blood is now nuclear residue which he can shape at will!
Now Bond must choose a side, but no matter what happens, the earth is fucked either way.
Unless of course he can become a tree, build a canoe with his wood, fly it to the moon and terraform it. That would solve everything.
Written by Romeo Tanaka.

Remember that Kotori is, canonically, the best girl.
>>143929596
No, it's just a trash adaptation of a VN nobody thought anyone could adapt properly.
But as expected of a secondary, judging the source material because of the shitty adaptation's art style and first 2 episodes.
>this is the worst show since Charlotte, it's terrible.
Because you're a secondary that doesn't understand what's happening.

Yeah I just double-checked. My eyes failed me.
While the show is moving at the speed of light, god i loved the comedy. Reminds me of how gold the entire common route was.
I'm tempted to reread the VN again. I dont think i saw higher production values anywhere else since.And if i get cheated out of my Kazamatsuri Bond in a skirt vs big badass dinosaur 1v1 fight again i will be very very pissed
What are your thoughts on generic commercialized moe?
What are your thoughts on crappy short fights against formless pieces of shit?
What are your thoughts on boring pussy protags?
What are your thoughts on cheap visuals and 3DCG?
What are your thoughts on opening pseudo-philosophical MC narration?
What are your thoughts on mysterious stoic supernatural girls and other trodden cliches?

This. I can't say it's a good show in any objective sense, but it's pure gold for fans of the VN. All that common route gold.

Nothing so far even makes sense unless you've read the VN. And am I the only one hyped for the fights ?Imagine the glory of Sakuya vs Bond, the chaos of Terra and Moon, the car chase with Shizuru on that motorcycle in her badass outfit all animated. This is pretty much fan service for people who have the read the VN. Fuck, maybe we'll get even the leaf dragon fight animated. I felt cheated out of that one.

I'm really looking forward to a lot of the future events. It's a shame the adaptation is so compressed -- I would watch 13 episodes of just the common route.

Kotori and Kotarou are very alike in personality. She's a match for his wit, just not as willing to put herself in humiliating positions because she hates to stand out.

Well played 8bit.
>>143931737
Their antics in the common route were some of the best parts of the VN. Kotori's route ending was really frustrating for cutting off suddenly like that.
>>143931786
Both the OP and ED are brilliant.
>>143931737
Which ironically is part of her inner turmoil. I got to hand it to Kotori route.
Still like Chihaya and her route though.I'm a sucker for a SoL transformed into shonen - as proven by Negima.

>>143931925
I liked it too but out of all routes it felt the weakest one - barely anything to do with the plot and it was pretty much Sakuya being badass while the rest are of minor importance.
I liked Lucia route the most.The entire thing was too fucking kawaii from start to finish
>>143931925
Chihaya is basically Asuna Kagurazaka. And Shizuru stole herheterochromia.
>>143931322
https://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=490312
>>143931925
Chihaya's route had no real substance or relevance in the big picture but damned if it wasn't good at making you attached to Sakuya, which makes his role in Moon all the more poignant. I wonder if Sakuya was an addition by Tonokawa that Romeo ended up really liking? I hope Sakuya doesn't get the shaft in this adaptation.

For once, KEY came up with a character that didn't do a total 180 once her route was unlocked. Her presence was overshadowed when you play the game the first time, but she's really got one of the better and stable personalities in the series.

Girls: Akane > Kotori > Shizuru > Chihaya > Lucia
Routes: Lucia > Akane > Shizuru > Kotori > Chihaya
Fuck me, we're only getting 13 episodes. That probably means they're going to stick a bit of Moon with the common route for the majority of the episodes, then have a four episode arc showing an altered recap of Terra's romance.
What are the chances of another season?
>>143933179
You should wait. A lot of important character don't have sprite/voice/both and the last two route have almost no CG. A good chunk of terra is just text over a black screen.

I say play it. It doesn't take long to beat if you work at it, it only took me half a week. You'll be able to appreciate the differences that Rewrite+ brings, while also enjoy the anime sooner.
>>143933580
Depends on the arrangement. This is pretty different from a Manga adaptation. Key could have even funded the anime in large part themselves. Of course if they did that, 8bit wouldn't get any of the profits either.
>>143933676
When is Rewrite + gonna be released?
Sorry, Rewrite+ will have an official translation? Who is selling it/where will it be sold? From an official source I'm assuming, but if it came out on a console it would be nice.

>>143933918
I dunno. I hate things with multiple "routes". It's not how a story is supposed to be, it bothers me to no end.
>>143934098
Hey newfag.
Usually VNs with "multiple endings" are not really like that, because essentially there's only one true ending to the main story. The others are almost always "what ifs", but in Rewrite's case they all matter and wound up pretty nicely in the true ending.
Having multiple endings can actually be used to create a really intriguing story and more complex narrative usually, so you saying "that's not how a story us supposed to be" really is silly and wrong.
>>143929615
you can't be this serious
Will the anime have Yoshino song?
>>143934201
It better. YO-SHI-NO will save this anime.
>>143930954
8bit did good job adapting Grisaia, they made it actually bearable when the VN was absolute horseshit (apart from Amane flashback). Now they have really good source material so this can be match made in heaven.
Still, while Rewrite was a great VN, it's got nothing on Clannad which is unsurpassed 10/10 kamige.
>>143934098
It tells one coherent story in the end. It just shows different views on one main event. Though I guess if you really hate choose-your-own-adventures, VNs with choices just aren't your thing.

That's like telling someone to watch the TV version of an anime so you can enjoy the BD better the second time you watch it. If there's an improved version of something it's always better to watch/read it and ignore the first version.

There's more improvements than fixed drawings. I mostly suggested playing it again so he can get into the anime faster, which would be a plus in my book.
As a side-note, it doesn't take 120-150 hours to finish. I'm not sure how you extended your playtime to that length.
Looking at
>>143934530
This has all been a ruse anyway. He won't play it.
>>143934185
>Having multiple endings can actually be used to create a really intriguing story and more complex narrative usually, so you saying "that's not how a story us supposed to be" really is silly and wrong.
Don't make me laugh.
A story is a story, not multiple stories. If a character goes through the same scene in a different way then he's another character.
A character is a character because he acts how he acts, interacts with certain characters in a certain way, at a specific time etc.
I profoundly dislike various versions of all this because it takes all the meaning away. A certain person, given certain circumstances, acts in a certain way.
>>143934530
It's similar to how Clannad has one story, though rewrite actually ties it back together more strongly.
In CLANNAD from the perspective of the illusiory world there's only one world and its purpose is to save Nagisa.
>>143934834
>A story is a story, not multiple stories.
A collection of stories doesn't make it not a story.
>If a character goes through the same scene in a different way then he's another character.
Bait.
>A character is a character because he acts how he acts, interacts with certain characters in a certain way, at a specific time etc.
Bait.
>I profoundly dislike various versions of all this because it takes all the meaning away. A certain person, given certain circumstances, acts in a certain way.
This is just blatant now. The main character is a tool for the reader in a VN to explore all sides of an issue.
>>143934778
I'm interested in playing some VN but I just can't for various reasons.
One is this >>143934834

>>143927862

Not with that QUALITY, man.
fuck the designer
>>143934834
>Don't make me laugh.
You don't make me laugh you fucking ignorant.
It's true that he can change depending on the branching, but you can also have a great story with a single ending that needs to be composed by going through multiple experiences (endings).
And let me tell you an example, ignorant.
Let's say we have this character who in order to clear his life purpose in the ending, he first needs to grow as a person. In other to develop as a person, he first needs to save multiple girls and make them truly happy which eventually leads to, let's say, seven different endings. But after each ending, the character gets thrown back to a checkpoint before the branching but retains his memories, his character development, because whoever is doing that to him needs him to have the development he needs from multiple endings while still being the same guy.
After you clear all the seven different endings, the main character can finally come to fulfill his life purpose because of the experience he gained in experiencing 7 different lives.
That's a pretty good story if you ask me, and while it had 7 different endings, in which we saw entirely different events in each of those, we still get a closure because we know it was all for a major good.
That is a great story so don't go writing bullshit if you don't read shit.
Examples of stories like this example I wrote are Rewrite, Muv luv, VLR, etc.
>>143934834
>If a character goes through the same scene in a different way then he's another character.
That's autism. It never really comes up like that in Rewrite because all the routes are so different.
None of the minor choices in the common route that lead to a specific route are out of character.
>>143935112
The designer doesn't animate, dingus.

Fuck this bitch. Lucia a shit.
>>143934991
>>143934834
Some visual novels work this into the story, it's why time travel is such a common thing in vns. Because of varying shenanigans, you get to see the main character go through multiple different situations and circumstances, meet different people, be shaped in different ways, and then the final route usually has a MC that is the sum of all of these experiences. It's like accelerated character development.
Not really seeing the issue here. Granted it hinges on the strength of the MC's character, as in do we care enough to want to see 5 slightly different versions of him, but it's still him, it's just him reacting to different circumstances and ending up in different places.
It's a thought experiment in 'what if's. How much do single event end up shaping who we end up being.
I get that there's accounting for individual tastes and all but I'm not seeing what your problem is, besides something you've already convinced yourself of without even trying it.

Agreed. This OP is pure hype, right there alongside of Whitefox's REWRITE OF MY LIFE. Just the monochrome sequence alone was brilliant, Agent Kotrou Bond, the rewriting, the ribbons, the single frame of Kotori saving Kotarou. I think I rewatched that bit as much as an entire episode. Makes me wish we could get just a Terra OP or season. Oh and Esaka made a shot, which is always great.
>>143927862
Yeah, even the animation resembles of the 2007.
>>143927862
The female school uniforms certainly look like they're from a different era.
I hope we get more Lucia-eating-spicy-food scenes, they were the second-best part of the common route.
Was the monochrome OP cut a reference to James Bond openings?

No, it's used by several stories and more frequent than you think, but you not knowing that only proves you're the ignorant I think I'm replying to.
In VLR the mc actually needs to have access to memories from other dimensions or events(routes) in order to unlock or solve major problems from different puzzles in the story.
In Muv luv is used more like a timeloop, and there's also YUNO which is similar to VLR in how this elements is played.
There's actually a lot of VNs like this, they make out the most of the system of allowing the reader to choose the route and bring out great stories in the narrative.
But you're a fucking ignorant convinced that is not the case, and for that I'm truly sorry that you're missing out in such amazing stories.

You can't be serious. I can understand if you like them and find them funny, sad exciting but calling them amazing is ridiculous.
2007-2008 just feels really good because we finally got out of that horrible digital animation slump of about 2000-2006 where all anime looked like fucking wet fart dumps.
>>143927862

>>143935992
More or less. Most adaptations nowadays cater towards fans of the source material, but the Rewrite adaptation is pretty much exclusively for VN fans (it's advertising for the remake).
http://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=223420
The VN is quite good, and very different from Key's usual works (different writers).
>>143935992
yes
>>143935992
It's supposed to be like that.
Just continue watching it, it would make more sense later.
>>143935950
>Yeah and they're all different kind of gimmicks. Your point?
They share the same gimmick of making use of the 'VN-choose your own ending' element and they actually use that as a plot device.
My point is that having multiple endings can actually be used in favor of the main plot of the VN and that makes a great story most of the time.
It's pretty hilarious how you keep getting btfo but you still blindly believe you're counter-arguing something in this discussion. My fucking point is that you're a fucking ignorant and now a fucking retard that can't even follow a proper discussion without getting lost.
They are amazing stories. Most of the VNs that make use of the fact that they are VNs to play with the plot and the choices are actually the best ones out there, and this is a fact.
This is coming from someone who's read thousands of stories both in manga/ln/vn and regular novels in general. I really don't feel like having a complete ignorant like you hasn't even tried reading one like this try to tell me they are shit and that it's only my opinion that they're good. Well guess what, it's not, it's a fact that these stories are more enjoyable in general than a simple linear one.
You sure like claiming big facts but in reality you're no more than a sad individual trying to defend its silly opinion that is not accepted for anyone in here.
>>143936175
>Just continue watching it, it would make more sense later.
Are you sure?
I mean, the first episode was 40 minutes long, and at no point did it make any sense.
If an anime can't world build in 40 minutes I don't know what to say.
>>143935992
No - but you should, since it's a really good VN and this is probably not the best adaptation.
The VN is around 50 hrs long, give or take, and the anime is only 13 episodes. So.
But, to be fair, while playing the visual novel, we were confused too at a lot of parts. Not everything is revealed to you all at once, and I'm sure the confusion in the anime is intentional. Everything will be wrapped up eventually.
>>143936212
Rewrite kinda has a million worlds to explain.
>>143936212
>world build in 40 minutes
It gave you concrete locations: a school, a forest, a house.
Fuck off.
Can I kiss the girls and do lewd things with the girls in the vn?

>>143936292

>Fuck off.
- Forest had magical creatures in it. Never explained why.
- School was also a dimension to a (garbage) monster? Never explained why.
- House has loli vampire rapists in it. Never explained why.
Literally zero world building took place. I don't even know what the setting is.
>>143936060
They handled this scene really well. Top-tier qt design, too.
>>143935950
What makes having a single linear timeline of events so important for stories? Whether or not branched timelines count as multiple interrelated stories or as one story with meta elements is just a matter of semantics.
It's not as if VNs are the only medium that breaks this "rule", although it happens a lot more in VNs.
It's fine not to like that sort of construction, but this is the first time I've ever seen this point being used to criticize something and I'd like to hear more about why.
>>143935950
>It's not "a" story anymore
Don't bring your shitty non-omniscient viewpoint into a Rewrite discussion.
You can't transcend time and space, why should we listen to you?
>>143936403
World building doesn't mean they have to spoil the whole plot, fag.
Do you also want to know why Koutarou was jumping around in a desert town?
>>143936403
Woah, the story didn't explain everything at first? Actually unwatchable.
>>143936403
Not the guy you're replying to, but like I said, you'll find out. It was the first episode, and the same thing happens in the visual novel. It doesn't explain why because the MC doesn't know why, and in both the visual novel and the anime, we're experiencing things from his perspective. But can't you have faith that you'll both find out eventually?
>>143936403
>why doesn't the first episode reveal everything!?!?!?!?
Are you serious?

No but I've watched adaptations and as much as they might have been butchered they were all mediocre stories executed in a cheesy way.

I feel like the readers of VNs became aware of this situation and the writers started to use these gimmicks as a result. I don't think it's a plot device or a way to tell a story in this context.

I feel like you don't have any real idea about what you're talking about, you're just flailing around with your preconceived notions and then getting upset that people are calling you out on not knowing anything.
>>143936690
Not to put too fine of a point on it, but if you've never read a VN, what evidence are you basing your critique on?
>I don't think it's a plot device or a way to tell a story in this context.
Sometimes it's a gimmick. In this case, it is literally a plot device.
>>143936690
I've been discussing all types of shits with many different types of anons, and never seen a single retard like you that claims a story with multiple endings even if they serve a greater good isn't good just because of the multiple endings.
Whether the writers use this because it is a VN or not, it doesn't matter if it delivers a really good experience when you read it, and in most cases this is true.
Anyway, I see you are no longer denying any of my points, and I take it that you simply can't. for starters, I can't really be taking you seriously at all if you haven't even tried reading stories with this mechanic but still call it shit. That's the worst of reasonings.

Oh wow, a school, a forest, a house. That sure explains the dream, the ghost girl, the mc's superpowers that showed up from no where near the end, the girl who randomly wakes up in the forest, the weird looking creature roaming the forest, the cgi monsters, the witch and everything else.
I'm pretty sure most of this will be explained later but they barely established anything in 40 minutes. So is the mc the only one with unexplained powers or what?
>>143927862
Rewrite is very bad in a way that feels almost nostalgic now, harkening back to a time when visual novel adaptations were the law of the land. We've moved past those days now, but it's always important to remember the mistakes of the past.
Kotarou essentially plays the role of the straight man to his entire world. The other characters act like one-dimensional props, and Kotarou riffs on their one-dimensionality. His childhood friend is the ditz, and so he leads her around with coins. The boy in the next seat is the delinquent, and so he mocks his desire to have a fight. This is apparently supposed to endear the audience to either him or his victims, but it really just emphasizes the artificial nature of every element of the story being constructed.
>>143936926
Sure, especially the TV series. You can't deny that it's been hugely influential, though.
And Disappearance was a great movie.
>>143936312
Kotarou fucks Akane in very lewd ways off-screen.
I think it's pretty damn fun.

The anime is going to adapt a new, original route.
Also, the VN is more than 90 hours reading length. What do you seriously expect as an adaptation? It's like trying to adapt all of Grisaia in 13 episodes, and even with double of that, they couldn't do it right.

>I didn't call it shit, I said it's a bad way to tell a story. What's mediocre is the story itself.
Not true either.
The mechanic can be used to build up a great conclusion with multiple endings linked directly to it, and I will take that every time over a simple straightforward plot.
You haven't read anything like this but you keep claiming you know better than people who actually has. It's both unpleasant and sad.
>>143937242
To precise more: Ivan Ilic makes sense because it is the exact way it is.
I wouldn't mind this just them doing cute things in the club room the whole time with the mc sexualy teasing the girls
From the first episode alone I can tell this will be a rushed shitshow. Sure, let's just skip 80% of everything and later wonder why people found it incomprehensible.

When people say "world building" they don't just mean the setting like parks,schools and buildings. I'm talking about how the world works. Is this a normal world with supernatural shit happening around the characters without them knowing? Or is this set in a world where teenagers with superpowers exist? The fact that the mc pulls out some unexplained superpower out of nowhere felt out of place considering he was acting like a normal human being for nearly the entire episode. They could've addressed this. All of what I listed before was a lot to take in from just one episode. I'm still going to give it a chance though.
>>143937528
>fact that the mc pulls out some unexplained superpower out of nowhere felt out of place considering he was acting like a normal human being for nearly the entire episode.
Yeah that was really confusing. He was having trouble running away from ghosts, until the last 5 minutes where he can "accelerate" things?
What does that even mean?
>>143937242
>Imagine if Tolstoy wrote a different version of Ivan Ilic where he doesn't die in the end.
This is a bizarre argument. Since Tolstoy's vision for his story didn't require branched timelines, he didn't put it in. If Tolstoy had written a story with branching, would you be disdaining non-branched stories now?
Saying that it makes no sense for Tolstoy to do it has no relevance to whether or not it "makes sense" for other authors or other mediums.
If you don't understand the point, then you could try reading VNs. If you still think it's nonsense after that, that's your call.
>>143937378
As is sad that the majority of the people who replied to me have read machine or badly translated VNs.
If your point is that I can't talk about VNs neither can them by your logic.
Rewrite is supposed to be a good VN, right? Now, I like the way Romeo Tanaka writes (as in the way he puts scenes together, his comedy, his characters' interactions etc.) but what I've seen is far from being close to any decent book I've read.
>>143927862
this has to be the single worst key VN i've yet seen.
" I know lets introduce parts of every VN we ever did into this!"
>>143937528
>The fact that the mc pulls out some unexplained superpower out of nowhere felt out of place considering he was acting like a normal human being for nearly the entire episode.
Him pulling out some flashy moves even though he was acting like a perfectly normal dude and the reader/audience not even expecting it was actually used a plot device, and it actually is a plot device. It constitutes the protagonist's personality to a deeper level, but you can't expect that to be explained in only 2 episodes.
All you can infer from what happened is that supernatural things to occur and that the mc has some kind of power. The mc itself doesn't even know if he's unique or if there's others like him until much, much later, at the end of the common route which was half of the VN approximately.
>>143937635
He only wondered if he should've "stepped on the accelerator". They never mentioned he could accelerate things.
>>143937258
>It cut out all the shitty fluff
But SOL of jar-head juicy Yuuji living with a bunch of autistic girls was great part of the VN.

Holy shit anon. Stop and think. Just take a break, walk around outside for a bit, and think about what you're saying. You've never read a VN, you don't know how they work aside from a handful of wrong-assed assumptions, and you've got such a narrow fucking view of how to tell stories I am genuinely wondering if you have autism. The real autism, not just 4chan autism.
Just sit this one out, okay? You don't have to read one, nobody's gonna climb in through your window, tie you to a chair and read you Clannad in its entirety. Just accept that you don't know about what you're talking about, in the same way I can accept I don't know organic chemistry, watchmaking, or underwater basketweaving.
Sit this one out, mate.
>>143937737
You're arguing with someone who can actually and has actually read them in Japanese in this specific case, so your point is still pretty much invalid because you're shitting on something you have absolutely no idea of knowing if it's right because you have never read anything like that.
I have also enjoyed several other stories from regular books, but I do still enjoy the special flavor that having a VN and its mechanics can bring to the table, and that's something you're missing on and are even badmouthing with absolutely nothing to prove.
>>143937841
Well, sure. Most of the time branched story paths are used with no real thought put into it. It's basically a convention of the medium, the way a three acts is conventional for tragedies.
Every once in a while, though, we get a VN that uses the branching method cleverly. Experimentation with the medium isn't restricted to literature or fine art.
>>143937737
If you're convinced that VNs (or anime and manga, for that matter) are so inferior to literature, then what are you spending your time on them for?
