It got announced like a couple of days before it would be this long.

Reminder that this is indeed an adaptation, not an anime original

Oh wait, I know exactly why

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.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSS

YOOOOOOOOOUUUUTH

Man, this was bad.
I hope it picks up, I'm not expecting it to be better than the VN, but it shouldn't be DEEN F/SN tier of bad.

REWRITE OF THE LIFE

[_] Rewrite myself
[_] Rewrite the world

Man, now that I think about it, the VN was pretty fucking cheesy

>>143644497
He basically just changed the names and that's it.

>>143644878
IMA TOKI HANATEEEEE

>>143642732
I lost at the become a tree part.

Should've put R07 instead of Romeo Tanaka at the end.

I feel like the anime is basically going to be a bit of the common mixed in with a new route (Kagari's) compressed into 13 episodes..

A damn shame, because one thing Rewrite was good at was foreshadowing the supernatural elements, and that was basically tossed out.

Like, remember how cray cray it was for the Leaf Dragon to show up in the VN? Kotori's entire route was a fantastic intro where it actually feels like you're caught in the middle of a war while being mostly clueless as to their motives and ideals and just trying to survive.

Should I wait for Rewrite+ before reading or just read the current version of the VN?

>>143644266
LB, if only because the happy ending is actually just Rin and Riki deluding themselves that they saved everyone. The true happy ending is the one where the two manage to move on after literally everyone dies.

It's why Kyousuke was so upset at his decision to save everyone. It's literally impossible.

>>143645358
Wait for Rewrite+ unless you really want to read it.

Let's guess Gaia response to Krivoy Rog getting kill off when it was getting transported or stored.

We might end up seeing a very different common route from now on since MC is technically choosing choices that would lead to Kagari which might be a lot more supernatural events than any others IMO.

I am hoping sth like a full blown all out war even before November 13 Or everything have gone to hell around that time.

I am also not expecting a happy ending since this is kagari, I still remember her route in HF.

Also How many would die? Lets speculate!

>>143645430
I'd say in the anime it's more clear that it isn't a delusion and they did save everyone.

>>143645909

shhh...

It's not just a dream, though I'm not sure why he's even able to remember it at all while awake because the dream Kotarou is the culmination of all possible Kotarous made up of the countless parallel lives he's lived. He's on the Moon to help the girl on the hill by protecting her, dancing with her and feeding her coffee.

The image you're talking about is Jun Maeda bingo, which doesn't really apply here because he didn't write anything for the VN or anime.

The entire VN does not get a bingo.

>>143649774
This. The anime has made no attempt to cater to animeonlys at all. Most of their confusion will never be cleared up, because the Kagari route is probably designed to be played/watched after the other 5 girls.

I don't know man, new fans maybe? Aren't anime adaptions made to promote VNs, LNs and manga? An adaption should always stand on it's own and this isn't a sequel of any sort so your question doesn't make sense. I'm pretty sure 100% of people who watch capeshit didn't read comics before hand.

>An adaption should always stand on it's own
Not always. Some adaptations are openly targeted at VN players.

I'm not saying you shouldn't watch it, I'm just pointing out that it's likely to be a clusterfuck since this amount of VN material can't possibly be compressed in a linear 12-24eps storyboard.
Maybe you'll be able to enjoy it, who knows, but it definitely won't be the "full" thing.
I highly doubt they'll be able to give this the Clannad treatment and switch the focus from the supernatural to a "cherish life motherfucker" SoL.

Rewrite - The great visual novel that Romeo didn't really write but a lot of people still think he did. Because of that, we should watch it.

I am trained in guerilla warfare and I’m the top superhuman in the entire Kazamatsuri branch. Your parents are nothing to me but just another U.M.A.. I will wipe them the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across Guardian and your IP is being traced right now so you and your parents better prepare for the storm, brat. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little things you call your parents. Your parents are fucking dead, brat. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill them in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my Aurora. Not only am I extensively trained in anti-U.M.A. combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the Guardian U.N. HQ and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable smirk off the face of Kazamatsuri, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking shitpost.

>>143658124
Rewrite is nothing like the other Key VNs. Key is traditionally famous for nakige -- games that make you cry, and its focus is on long comedic common routes followed by drama (or melodrama, depending on your preference). Illness features as a prominent plot device, and most Key VNs involve massive suffering before a happy ending.

Key VNs usually include little to no battle or other magic fantasy tropes (except in parody, as in Little Busters), and their works focus heavily on friendship, love, and family themes. They tend to usually be magic realism -- basically set in the contemporary world, with magic as an occasional plot device.

>>143641773
No, they even admitted that they didn't include as many scenes designed to make you cry as their other VNs.

The characters still suffer plenty though.

Also, Rewrite+ when? I want to know how many details the anime version of the Kagari route is skipping.

>>143660288
IIRC it comes out the 29th.

Anime - The Anime

>>143662305
I recommend it. Jun Maeda and the rest of the Key old guard are very talented writers of both comedic slice-of-life and melodrama -- Clannad and Little Busters will make you laugh and cry in equal measure. Kanon and AIR are both still solid reads, although the art especially hasn't held up over time. The anime versions by KyoAni (especially for Clannad) are first-rate adaptations.

Some caveats, though: There's a marked tendency to handwave certain plot elements ("Key magic"), so if you're a stickler for coherence or fine detail, you'll find a certain number of scenes irritating. Not everyone enjoys melodrama either. Also, as Key was the originator of a lot of common nakige tropes, you might feel that certain things are fairly cliche by today's standards.

That's not to dissuade you -- I still think Key's body of work counts as top tier in the VN world -- but you'll have a better time if you err on the side of open-mindedness/being willing to suspend disbelief.

>>143662541
But there's no false information, correct? I'd love to read a non-mocking run-down of any of those plot points.

>>143660190
Thanks for explanation, too. I was wondering whether Key's stories have always been Nyaruko-san-tier retardness.

>>143662925
This is also my impression of it. I'll probably watch it all.

>>143658124
You don't even know about Clannad?

>>143662305
Adding to what this guy >>143662969 said, if you plan on going for Clannad or Kanon first, I highly recommend you google suggested route orders and definitely don't start with the dense stuff like Ryou or Kotomi for Clannad. It will just bore the shit out of you.

>>143662969

I can overlook common tropes and some level of handwaving, especially if the game's atmosphere is well done. Rewrite is still one of my favorite VNs despite suffering from a inconsistencies due to multiple writers. Hopefully Rewrite+ cleans that up some.

Any of them in particular you recommend to start out with?

>>143663164
Of course I know of it, but I haven't read it yet.

>>143663272
Gotcha. I tend to do that when I'm reading a new VN anyway.

>>143662973
A quick glance confirms that it says that Koutarou killed Kotori's parent familiars in the common route rather than just in the Terra route. May check for more.

>>143662759
I guess not? I never did one. But if enough people wanted to do it, and no one else wanted to mix it, I wouldn't mind.

Oh great, it's all VN fags so barely anyone has any screenshots of the show. I came here for smug Kotori.

SHAKE IT NOW

>>143663701
BABY NOW?!

>>143663405
>Any of them in particular you recommend to start out with?
Not him but I suggest you start with the one which anime adaptation you liked the most (assuming you watched them).
Either that or go for Clannad -i.e. second best OST (Air takes 1st), less supernatural stuff on many routes, easier to follow plotline, relatively better art and it's fully voiced. Also considering it got the official translation not so long ago, you can find it on steam for a fair price.

>>143662973
>>143642732
In translation (maximum spoilers below).
Part 1:

>Rewrite tells the story of Tennouji Kotarou, a 27 year old former agent of Guardian, a multinational organization dedicating towards protecting human society from catastrophe.
>Kotarou was a loner and isolated kid growing up, and he fought with his parents over their participation in the Martel Group, a global environmental NGO.
>His only friend was a girl ten years his junior, who he had a combative relationship with.
>Unbeknownst to Kotarou and his family, the Martel Group is a front for Gaia, a radical environmental group seeking to save the Earth by eliminating humanity. Gaia and Guardian have been mortal enemies for decades.
>Kotarou vented his frustrations with his family by hunting UMAs in the woods outside Kazamatsuri using his superhuman physical abilities. However, those UMAs were actually Gaia's weapons, known as familiars.
>Kotarou eventually joins Guardian, where he finds out that superhuman abilities are quite common, and that Guardian is a group of superhumans.
>Gaia and Guardian primarily fight over the Key, a familiar created by the Earth that has the power to end and forcefully recreate all life on Earth.
>In one such battle, Kotarou encounters the Key and is greviously wounded, falling into a coma.

Part 2:

>After waking from his coma at age 27 without any of his memories from his time at Guardian, Kotarou decides to enjoy to a high school life. Because he was partially turned into a familiar through the Key's power after it wounded him, he hasn't aged and still looks 17.
>He aims to get a girlfriend, join a club, grope the club president's boobs, be a newspaper reporter, and mess with his friend.
>Unexpectedly, the members of his club were all involved with Gaia or Guardian. One was his childhood friend, who now had summoner powers, one was a top Guardian agent, one had been turned by Guardian researchers into a walking bioweapon, one was a Gaia summoner whose familiar was more or less Kotarou's alternate universe self, and one was Gaia's heir apparent.

>Suddenly, the Key shows up again, starting another war. The Key is attracted by the fragment of its power in Kotarou and sneaks into his room at night. The Key also turns out to be a cute deadpan girl.
>Kotarou now has two innate abilities: he can use his lifeforce to permanently enhance his body, and he can control his blood (now enhanced by the Key's powers into an aurora-like substance).

>Kotarou has to choose between the girls in the club and between Gaia and Guardian, but no matter what life on Earth is doomed.
>His only solution is to help another version of the Key on a terraformed Moon discover a series of choices that would save humanity.

>>Unexpectedly, the members of his club were all involved with Gaia or Guardian. One was his childhood friend, who now had summoner powers
Eh, that's not quite correct. Said childhood friend actually had no relation to Gaia or Guardian at all - she's a druid, a kind of third party that just aims to protect the Key.


Also I probably would have explained things starting from the common route rather than from Kotarou's origins, which are only fully explained in Terra..

It's not really meant to be a reliable guide to the story; it's just the joke one with some terms and details changed to be less silly.

It's a very good VN, and well worth the time. The character routes are all very different from each other (some will probably be more suited for your tastes than others), but the real prize is the final true route you unlock after finishing all the character routes. Everything gets tied back together in a really interesting way, and the VN takes advantage of the fact that it's a VN very effectively.

>>143664874
Kotarou largely pulled together a group of weird loners. People who were isolated from others because of their unusual pasts, and their memberships in Gaia/Guardian. It wasn't just that he assembled a group of completely random people and wow they all happen to be involved in supernatural shit. It feels a lot less contrived in the VN.

>>143664391
Yeah, why don't you get yourself a gun and steal your breakfast tomorrow then?

>>143645465

>>143665140
This. The common route is very well done and is full of great moments. It's a joy to reread -- full of subtle foreshadowing and statements that can be interpreted completely differently once you understand the context. There are even second-playthrough easter eggs.

I'd highly suggest using the walkthrough provided with the Amaterasu translation to get all the various achievements and Mappie segments.

If Rewrite is such a good VN then why does Kotarou's AMIIIIGOOOO list include people that tried to murder him?

The moving sprites are neat. Plus if you somehow have a massive hardon for steam locomotives/trains you're going to have a field day with the stupid amount of infodumping on specific train terminology they shit all over you. Other than that, the story is okay but not great. You're going to be reading it for the characters anyway so the plot is kind of just there in the background.

>>143670445
Nah, that's for DR.

Not really. This is not Terra adaptation. It is definitely not going to be a "good" end where everything is resolved. I can't believe that they will completely fuck out Terra route.

>>143674154

But in the end, that's what happens to him? It's gonna make it hard to enjoy if I know the happy ending is just a prelude to tree time.

jesus christ, the design is shit.
i mean SHIT.

Dumb, lazy animeonlyfag here. I just wanted to say HOLY SHIT THOSE ARE SOME FRILLY AS FUCK UNIFORMS
I LOVE THEM SO MUCH DEAR FUCKING FUCK
I will now excuse myself, although I don't mind spoilers so maybe I'll just lurk in the shadows while loving those uniforms instead.

>>143674319
In two of the 7 routes he turns into a tree. The anime is adapting an original "8th" route that we know nothing about apart from that it's focusing on Kagari. We have no idea how it's gonna end, only that Terra is the only ending where everything works out and the problem is resolved, so unless there's a curveball it's not gonna be an "everybody wins" kind of ending.

>>143674735
I like you

>>143672795
I loved Kotori's Hoooh hoooh sounds when she gets what's going on between Kotarou and Chihaya

>>143674735
Thanks the uguu girl then. Beside character design she aslo design those uniform too

>>143674982
She is such a tease, Kotarou should have slapped her in the butt.

>>143671079
Why is Lucia so shitty?

Putting aside the obvious problems like the bad 3D i loved this episode. The character interaction was great and Kotarou running into walls constantly cracked me up

>>143671079
How does Lucia's farts smell like?

>>143674789

But isn't the tree route like the culmination of all the other ones, like he recovers his memories of all the other routes?

>>143675206
Arsenic

I've seen too many key anime/VNs. All the characters blend together, and frankly. I'm spent.

This looks like generic Key cut and paste no.209345-9298375640928173450927; I'll save some time and skip it.

>Her route is literally Sakuya route she us totally fucking irrelevant

>>143675365
ok

Is there a reason the twintailed, eyepatched loli isn't best girl, or do you just have shit taste?

>>143675336
It takes place before all the other routes. A bad "end" some ways in leads directly into the events of all the other routes. Moon is more like the culmination of the other routes, but Moon leads into Terra from a narrative standpoint. The basic gist is that during Moon Kagari was looking for a way to lead to a future where everybody wins, and finds it during the climax of Moon. So we go all the way back to young Kotarou and see the stuff leading up to the split (and then past it).

I don't think he ever "recovers" his memories at any point in the novel (not even Moon, I think). Instead in Terra he simply never loses them. The revelation is for the readers, not for Kotarou. It completely changes the context for the way most of the cast treats him, because a lot of them are aware of his past (just look at Yoshino).

>>143675591
>weird hybrid tsundere
No thanks, just give me the ghost loli and i'll be happy

I already see im going to have to filter these threads. So many spoilers and zero spoiler tags

>>143675632
If I remember correctly, some time during Moon Kotarou etches something into Kagari's time map and ends up gaining memories from it during Terra.

>>143675591
she's token loli with no character development

>>143675591
She wasn't even the best girl in her own route in the VN.

>>143666925
Wait what the fuck, Nagisa comes back to life?

>>143675733
Yeah, I'm holding off re-reading everything until + is out, so details are fuzzy at points.

>>143675632

Yeah well, whatever. I just want to know if this is a lead in to tree-time, or, from the sound of it, a fake happy ending with no precedent in the source (like it or not, the ending of Clannad is actually the ending you get if you complete all the other routes, so at least in the novel, it's earned).

>>143675791
yeah some magic shit sends him into an alternate universe where Nagisa and Ushio both live.
you didn't watch the rest of the show? it's a happy ending. I thought it was a bit of a stretch, but the end of After Story actually had it's own message/moral, which I thought was nice.

I don't know, the background 3D students were pretty cute.

>>143675932
It was years ago and I kinda blacked out after Nagisa died. Doesn't help that I only played Tomoyo's route for the VN.

>>143675966
Agreed, my only gripe was the glowing monsters that ran through the hall. They were out of place

>>143675884
You (and kind of by extension Kotarou) have to play all the routes in order to get to Terra and thus the good ending. It's definitely earned, since Terra simply can't happen without Kotarou experiencing the other routes.

Like I said, we don't know if tree time is gonna happen. It only happened in one of the not-Terra routes (and it wasn't permanent in Terra). The trend would suggest no, but I'm not Romeo so I can't exactly confirm or deny.

But she's so cute. The two minutes she was on screen was the best part of the episode.

>>143676255
>What coins is he talking about?
She loves money. She also hates scissors. In the VN you have the choice of sleepwalking her home by luring her with jingling coins or chasing her home by snipping a pair of scissors.

>>143676144
I was surprised by how much she emoted and how her voice was more enthusiastic in the anime. It did kind of end up making her sound like Haruka though.

What did she mean by this?

>>143677512
She wants to watch her familiar fuck/get fucked by Yoshino.

Akane = Chihiya = Kagari = Kotori = Shizuru > Lucia

>>143677512
She knows what I'm doing when she's on-screen

>>143677385
I liked her more when she sounded half asleep all the time, honestly.

At least Chihaya doesn't sound as ear-grating as in the VN.
