Rewrite thread

Does "that" moment finally happen today? I really hope it happens, given what happened last episode.

>Does "that" moment finally happen today?
>"that"
Maybe we'll get a glimpse of it.

>>145614247
Out of the whole VN that one moment was the only real tearjerker for me. 8bit better get this one right.

>>145614316
I agree. I hope they'll use Kotori's theme.

Is that mammoth?!

>>145614583
No.. But... Look at it?

So, which route will it be after 'that'?

>>145614806
We saw some Moon flashbacks here and there. I assume we'll get to see Terra eventually.

>>145614806
Whatever they choose they won't be sticking to it to the end. If episode 7 is reserved for "that" moment, then that means they have 6 episodes left for 4 girls.

>>145614987
You think we'll get to see them?

>>145615045
I hope so. What's the point of showing those Moon scenes if they are not going to show Terra.

>>145615126
But didn't they say that they're covering a brand new route? They're probably using Moon to transition into anime original content rather than Terra.

>>145615173
>But didn't they say that they're covering a brand new route?
I want Kagari in that brand new route. I want a Kagari route. .

Kagari is cute! CUTE! CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>145618942
>I mean the Kagari in the anime is clearly the moon one
Now that I think of it, you're right. Anime Kagari acts closer to Kotarou compared to Terra Kotarou.

So what route are we on now?
Guardianshit or Gaia?

>>145619037
>Anime Kagari acts closer to Kotarou compared to Terra Kotarou.
The fuck are you trying to say?

>>145619092

Speaking of Terra, wasn't Terra Koutarou the one who Told orphan Akane to hate all humanity?

>>145619092
I meant Terra Kagari. I'm so happy right now that I inputted it wrong.

>>145619155
Did he?
I don't actually remember what he said during their first meeting

>>145619155
Terra Kotarou was such a fucking edgelord.
>>145619205
So you're saying anime Kagari acts closer to Kotarou than Terra Kagari?

>>145619303
Yes. This is just my own opinion.

>>145619252
He did. He also (Real spoilers for lurkers) Ignored Akane when she tried to kill herself and constantly harassed loli Kotori
>>145619303 It was hard when first learning how different his personality was though just how edgy he was

>>145618942
Kagari is a phenomenon anon, the moon one is like that because she had unlimited time.
Terra kagari is less than 4 year old.

Beside most of any Kagari's love goes to humanity anyway.

>>145619423
>Ignored Akane when she tried to kill herself
I don't remember that.
When was that supposed to happen?

>>145619738
During one of The Martel meetings. We don't hear Akane speak but when she was giving a speech Koutarou remembers seeing her before, but he eventually ignored her and she left him alone

>>145619901
But where are you getting Akane trying to kill herself from that?

Not him but I remember those meeting, I just don't recall Akane trying to kill herself

>>145619939
>>145620071
During one of Koutarou's memories in Terra, after he meets Iko, one of the orphanage leaders. I don't actually remember her trying but somehow Koutarou remembers

>>145620147
Or to be more precise it happens after hehunts a worm UMA in the school

>>145620214
The only thing that I can remember is loli Kotori shit talking Kotarou.

Akane is 9 years younger than Kotarou>>145620787

>>145620984
But he's saying that the girl that tried to commit suicide is around his age.
He never was in a coma during Terra so Akane wouldn't be around his age.

>>145621056
You're right. I was misunderstanding since almost everyone Martel adopted was an empty shell

>>145621282
But that's wrong.
Some are just normaly introverted and suicidal.
Remember how he infiltrated Gaia in Terra

>>145613817

>>145621369
The one thing I don't understand or remember though is why Terra Akane was calling Koutarou daddy.

>>145621927
She was an orphan and probably never saw anyone that she could trust to care for her. Terra Akane is drawn to Terra Kotarou for some reason.

we x-men now?

>>145622111
I get that he was older, I just don't see how Terra Akane could have been drawn to Terra Koutarou. Maybe because he skipped out on the meetings or was by himself?

>>145622295
He's sorta like a Gaian. He cannot fit into any place he was put into. I also don't know how she's drawn to Kotarou.

>>145622413
I mean he's roughly as much a Gaian as Akane.
C+ to B-
Also Terra Kotarou is one of the persons who actually spend time with Akane outside of the orphanage.

On another note this episode ended on a similiar note to Kotori

Wait .. how did Shizuru and Lucia didn't know about Akane, Chihaya and Sakuya? Was Guardian's intel network so shitty not to know about Gaia successor and strongest familiar?

>>145622617
>Was Guardian's intel network so shitty not to know about Gaia successor and strongest familiar?
Yes

>>145622617
The dirty little secret of Guardian is that they're kinda shit at their job.

>>145622546
You're right. Terra Akane just approached Terra Kotarou and called him, her Daddy. I hope they include "that" scene from Kotori's route.

>>145622617
Sakuya killed a lot of Guardian agents and that they purposely monopolize information from each other. It was not known who is the old hag's successor until she died.

>>145622766
Sakuya actually didn't kill any Guardian agents

>>145622617
>Was Guardian's intel network so shitty not to know about Gaia successor and strongest familiar?
How else do you think Kotarou was able to fool them for so long?

When you've lost the one thing that made your life worth living, when there's no hope of getting it back, that is when a man cries.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIwl2cDwStw

Akane's route handled this better than the rest. It's too bad everything in her route after that moment is trash.

So when do they build a canoe to go to the moon?

For a route supposedly focused on Kagari, we have yet to have very much of her. It's pretty damn weird.

I kinda like the anime's rendition of philosophyz

>>145623143
They probably want to get the others out of the way first, though I don't have a clue how they're gonna handle the Gaians.

I honestly thought the show wasn't bad for the first couple of episodes
Then they started mixing shit from the heroine routes and made kotarou look like a harem protag.
Fuck that shit.

This episode really bothered me more so than the others. I get that they want to cram everything into one cour, but the way they handled the buildup to the forest breakup was just awful.

>>145623592
>>145623317
That's always the problem with adaptations like this that only get 12 episodes for a 60 hour story.
Unless there is a new season for Moon and Terra I ultimately feel this will be a disappointment.
I agree with >>145623277 though. The vocals sound clearer in the anime

>>145623592
It's because they wasted so much time rehashing the VN in a 'totally brand new route xD!' when there's like 13 episodes for an anime that would take 39-52 to properly adapt. It's also why it's selling like crap.

Why is it 3 pronged instead of the sword? The sword with Kagari's ribbon looks infinitely better.

>>145623317
This. The humor was top-notch and loyal to the VN up until they crammed Shizuru's and Lucia's routes into single episodes. Given how crammed for time they are, they could, at the very fucking least, used those episodes to not make the entire Leaf Dragon and group fracturing awful because of how compressed everything was.

Just fucking why.

>>145623592
The thing is, they said that the anime would adapt the brand new Kagari route that would be in Rewrite+, yet, instead threw in basically a summary of two other routes. It's awful, worse than the truncated Grisaia adaptations.

Even if they *just* did a single route and a shortish common, it'd still be super compressed with 12 episodes.

>>145623907
>"routes"

>>145623907
Quit whining, nerd. It's fine.

>>145623808
>>145623832
>>145623907
>>145624016
They should have just thrown out the character arcs entirely and go straight from the common route to whatever anime original route they had intended to do, using the Leaf Dragon encounter as the turning point. Everything before that point should be used to show that the Occult Research Club and its shenanigans means a lot to Kotarou. They don't have to put in all the pointless side quests to still make it interesting.

It's too bad that people who don't like reading VNs are watching this shit adaptation, it sucks so much

>>145624134
This. If this were a 2-cour or a second season I would understand putting in the character arcs, but having one episode for each feels rushed

oh look it's the VN circlejerk again

>>145624273
Animeonlyfags actually made it this far without dropping it? Jesus fuck, the only reason to watch this garbage is to see your favorite scenes animated with full voice acting (because they couldn't be assed to fully voice Kotarou).

>>145624418
The only problems with the anime are pacing and too few episodes, otherwise I like the anime.
Is it perfect? Hell no, but it's just disappointing to know the anime will end with low sales so Harvest Festa won't come over now that the translation has been cancelled

>>145618599
Don't touch my lolis

>>145624705
>Harvest Festa won't come over now that the translation has been cancelled
What the fuck? Source?

>>145624913
It was technically done,but Ixrec partnered up with Visual Arts for a steam release IIRC, which will take at least another year. the website hasn't been updated but says the routes are 100% complete except for some stuff like text in pictures

How did this work do so poorly compared to any of Key's other works?

>>145625331
Romeo's curse. Bankrupting any company who hired him~

>>145625331
All KEY works adapted thus far have had 26+ episodes and were fairly loyal to the content.

This one is 12 episodes, on top of the source material being longer in the first place than most KEY VNs. The first episode had potential, but then it just got worse every episode.

>>145625331
It's that one motherfucking director who also did the Grisaia adaptation and his way of cramming every route in a visual novel into "one big EPIC route xd!"

>>145625874
But it's not like he had all the say in the project, right? Even Grisaia wasn't as bad as this.

>>145624705
Stop spreading lies anon,just look at vndb and you'll see Rewrite+ includes HF

>>145626127
I'm not lying though. Rewrite+ doesn't have an english,etc. release date announced yet including vndb.

>>145626417
>>145625199
It's confirmed that it will have a english tl, it's jsut that the release date hasn't been announced. We will have the tl for sure.

>>145626686
I did a horrible job of explaining. I know it has an english tl, i meant it may be a year before it comes out, even if it is announced today

Did Kotori bring Kagari to help Kotarou and kill the Leaf Dragon, or did Kagari wander to him on her own?

>>145627174
Kagari was just wandering around. She probably felt that Kotarou was in the forest and started following him.

>>145627284
Yeah, but Kotori left separately from Chihaya and Akane, and then came back just in time to stop Kotarou from getting himself killed. That's suspicious. It's like she was hiding and only came out when she realized Kotarou was about to attack Kagari.

Hounds look meh. Leaf Dragon actually looked pretty good.

The raptors were a sin, though.

>>145618273
>>145618242
>>145618303
That fight looked terrible as hell. There was no cadence, no speed to it.

>>145627463
I think I puked when seeing the raptors

Where is the Cyberpunk city the promised me in the last episode?

>>145627398
Kotori being a druid couldn't summon powerful familiars like Gaia and didn't have intel like Guardian. Maybe she thought Koutarou could protect himself.

>>145627398
I think Kotori is the only other person in the club who can sense Kagari. They aren't on friendly terms though, so Kagari was acting on her own. Kotori probably thought something bad was about to happen when she sensed that Kagari was in the location where she last saw Kotarou.

She can straight up see her, unless that's only at the power spot. She definitely does here though, otherwise they wouldn't have focused on her.

>>145627398
What could she have done with no familiars? Perhaps she tried her luck going to the power spot and bringing something to help with her.

>>145628388
Couldn't Kotori see Kagari from when Koutarou was injured years ago? Or was that just her route?
>>145628434
She could make familiars for stuff like recon but not for fighting IIRC

But even her recon ones could help distracting the leaf dragon and buying them time to escape

>>145628524
>She could make familiars for stuff like recon but not for fighting IIRC
Thats wrong. Chibimoth is pretty strong. And in Terra young Kotori makes 4 pretty strong "chibimoths".

>>145628542
But they already made episodes for 2 girls. Are they just gonna abandon the rest?

>>145628685
Bond will try to talk to the Guardian girls and then to the Gaian girls. And then, when the girls refuse to make love and peace, we will have a Moon+Terra.
End.

>>145628524
Yes, Kotori asked Kagari to save him.

>>145628649
>>145628646
I meant in the anime for how she got to Koutarou before he attacked Kagari.
I know she made Chibimoth and her parents but in her route she could only make enough small and weak familiars like recon to detect enemies and protect herself and Koutarou in the midst of Gaia and Guardian fighting

>>145628881
>Bond
Please no. High school Kotarou is far more interesting than this edgelord.

In fact, I like it. It must be surprising to know people can have different opinions, but it's true.
Your post is as objective as an ANN or MAL review. Which means, not at all. Because when we talk about entertainment, there's no such thing as objective quality
That said, I do plan on reading the VN, but I'm waiting for Rewrite`+'s translation to come out. I mean, if an updated version is coming out, why should I bother with the original? I can wait
That said, whatever negative judgement I have for this is reserved for the anime, and I won't judge the source until I read it
I know all too well just how much adaptations can fuck up a great source.

It kind of fun trying to dodge the spoilers while scrolling down the thread. I might be a little late to this but was the ED animated by the same guy that did the Sora no Method ED?

I was animeonly until the end of episode 3.

Now I can watch it with full knowledge of the source material because all I need to do is tune out all the bad visual direction and enjoy isolated emotional moments while I apply context from the VN.

>>145630050
>Does she rub herself on the tree?
I assume that she would.
>Does Kotarou shoot his pollen at her?
Maybe.

>>145629946
Let's say Kotarou appears again and makes a contract with Shizuru. She's not supposed to be as talented as Chihaya, so she either sacrifices a decent part of her lifespan to keep him or he gives her a part of his power like Sakuya did with Chihaya.
In both cases Shizuru dies early or if he does the same thing Sakuya did he will eventually run out of energy and disappear like he did at the end of Chihaya's route
Shizuru's end was pure suffering

>>145630082
I mean he was an edgelord before the heroine routes too.
The coma mellowed him out

>>145630111
Nice trips. Also, he'll most likely do what Sakuya exactly did.

>>145630111
The ending is bittersweet and Kotarou's not coming back.

>>145626100
You're right. We can blame Aniplex too.
They wanted to give LB! one cour only as well, and Key denied them for years until it got a better offer.
I guess they just settled with what they got for Rewrite, because they wanted something to boost Rewrite+'s sales.

>>145632627

And find the source mediocre, because events from every route were spoiled in the rushed clusterfuck anime adaptation.
You've ruined the VN for yourself, but I guess that's your choice to be an animeonlyfag.
So it's also our choice if we spoil stuff in our discussion, or talk shit about the adaptation, because it your own fault for being an idiot who's still watching it and ruining their experience, not to mention being in these threads.
We even threw in some advice to drop it and deny yourself the disappointing, but again it's your choice to ruin it for yourself baka animeonlyfag-kun. After it's over you won't read it because of how bad the anime was.You just never learn.

Unlimited Rewrite works was good, but it was a fucking awful heroine route.
More like Sakuya's route. Plus it had that dual wield aurora plot hole.

Most Japanese probably think Key = Maeda.
It's the only one not written by him really.

>>145633349

You could argue that since the anime is blazing through stuff he could maybe find some nonspoiled things or at least in more depth in the VN

>>145633465
Does Japan generally like Maeda or not?

>>145633217
The VN is mediocre regardless. I honestly can't see how it's the masterpiece people say it is. For most routes it's just stuff happening outside of the characters' control. Terra was the worst of them all.

>>145633555
ok that would explain it

>>145633479
>we spoil stuff in our discussion
>our discussion
>Purposeful spoiling
Just be glad we're putting stuff in spoiler text for now, because we wouldn't be if we didn't feel like it.
If I reply to another anon with stuff from the SOURCE, it's not a spoiler but a discussion of the source comparing it to the anime.
Like all the spoiled posts in this thread. Be glad we care enough to even bother unlike LN threads.
If we were spamming spoilers during threads to "purposely spoil" a series, by attaining attention to the post and spoil as many people as possible, it would count.
But after your little bitch of a post, I won't bother with ctrl s anymore it's such a bother.

>>145633594
Mediocre is still 10000x better than the garbage anime.

Oh looks its one of the two animeonlyfags watching this again.
I wonder how it feels to not understand anything happening.

>>145633755
Nah, just pointed it out because you sounded too full of yourself.
Another interesting rule: Japanese visual novels should be posted in /jp/, and Western on /vg/.
So, discussing spoilers pertaining to the LN is against the rules too. We're just getting a free pass because we're piggybacking in the anime threads (where only 10% of the posts are about the anime itself)
Funny stuff, isn't it?

>>145633868
>to the LN

>inb4 autism

>>145633868
Do you understand that it's the "purposely" part that gets you banned and not the spoil itself? Not the guy you're arguing with by the way.

>>145633594
The difference from the other routes is Terra is meant to feel you can't control it. One of the choices even has Koutarou asking why he chose such a dumb choice

and the whole point of Moon was finding the sequence of events that would get out of the hopeless spiral IIRC.

>>145633868

>Japanese visual novels should be posted in /jp/, and Western on /vg/.
But we're talking about the anime here, and how bad it is compared to the VN, plus in retrospect what we want adapted from the anime and how the anime is shit.
Face it faggot, if a VN gets an anime, it's /a/ related henceforth.
Do you think those Umineko threads which reach bump limit talk about the anime? Maybe two posts for a Chiru adaptation and that's it. But it has an anime so it's /a/ related. Deal with it.

>So, discussing spoilers pertaining to the LN is against the rules too.
Then I suggest you submit feedback to get the re:zero threads banned because that's what they are 99% of the time.
But nothing will come of it because the LN is /a/ related due to it having an adaptation.

The only LN threads that will ever be deleted, are ones about "what are you reading" discussing a wide range of LNs without anime or manga. The same with the only spoiler posts being deleted being ones "XY DIES AND IS KILLED BY ZW" posts.

>Funny stuff, isn't it?
It is, but that's /a/ for you. I recommend reddit or MAL for you, where they specifically ban people for talking about anything other than the anime adaptation.

>>145633594
This, while i like some of the routes (akane, moon), the whole vn give me a feeling of nothing really changing, no matter the decisions you made, it´s just a tragedy you can´t fight (i understand thats the point, just like this anon said >>145633980
but still, when i started terra i through that it was going to be like moon but bigger, instead i got a shitty fate zero fanfic).

>>145634074
it was based on a doujinshi and it has good art so it can get a pass

>>145634152
I can understand if it's the characters' own traits that led to their misery, but the same shit would have happened no matter what they did. Key appears, Gaia and Guardian fight, then the world ends.

Honestly the best routes in the game were ones that had very little to do with the main plot. Specifically, Lucia's and Chihaya's.

>>145634127
Look at >>145633939
Sorry about that, i meant VN, not LN.

>Do you think those Umineko threads which reach bump limit talk about the anime?

>X shit the board, so i will shit it too
That's all i gather from what you wrote, and that is a very absurd mindset.

>>145634152
I'm not saying the routes are good because nothing changes but usually complaints are each VN has too many good ends.
It isn't perfect by any means but I can respect they tried something different, even if it didn't work out

>>145634402
it´s true that too many good ends can be bad, but still, i believe a vn that end on a happy end after putting you in a lot of bullshit situations can be great. Well, this was my first key vn, are all of they work like this?

>>145634878
Eh I think all heroine routes end on a reasonably bittersweet note.

>>145634966
i was talking that in general, too many vn having good endings can be bad, i don´t consider any of the routes of rewrite having a good ending.

>>145635137
What do you mean with "good" here?
In the sense of good ending compared to true ending or "good" in the sense of enjoyable?

>>145635269
Good as in happily ever after with no sad things occurring perhaps?

>>145634328
>i'm more of a reddit/MAL fag,
Because you are.
>complaining about muh spoilers on /a/
>quoting rule 3 when someone is just talking about the source material, not purposefully spoiling
What season of the year are we in again? Oh right.

>same time defending cancer with all your might
I'd rather a healthy Umineko thread once a month with actual discussion, than the 1763rd Kancolle general "what fanart and characters shall we talk about this time!".
If you think a good thread like that is cancer then you don't belong here, /a/ has always had good discussion for Umineko (has an anime).

>X shit the board, so i will shit it too
>That's all i gather from what you wrote, and that is a very absurd mindset.
Great so I can assume you have a reading disorder or have a mental deficiency then?
Fantastic, I'll note than all your posts are just you sperging out at spoilers like a little bitch not from /a/.
My bad for trying to use actual reasoning. I'll sum it up so a retard like you can understand.
>X shit the board, but it's allowed, so i will shit it too because it allowed
>you no like then go reddit
Where X refers to spoilers (not purposeful).
Talking about source material =/= purposeful spoiling. Also talking about LN/VN with anime is ALLOWED on /a/.
Now that I've corrected your autism and put your shit opinion and bitching in your place, feel free to fuck off and never come back, secondary. Or better yet, kill yourself.

>>145629116
geass clearly

>>145635269
a little of both. In my opinion a good ending doesnt neccesary means happy, it just an ending where you end with this feeling of satisfaction, after reading through everything the novel give you and make you decide to reach an ending that make you feel that it was worth the time.

>>145635569
I'd post some Noire but I don't know if I have any safe for work images in my Neptunia folder. Noire best girl though.

If Kotarou rewrites himself too much does he died?

>>145635563
Well I personally found most endings in Rewrite enjoyable.
In particular Akane's ending did a good job of using their personal happiness at the end to contrast the destruction at large and the amount of suffering they've gone through.
Or Shizuru's ending showing her peace of mind despite losing almost everything.

>>145635916
too bad terra made everything else feel meaningless (this route left me butthurt)

>>145636625
Terra doesn't exist without moon and moon doesn't exist without the heroine routes.
And not being the "canon" route doesn't devalue them at all.

>>145636732
i didnt like terra, because it left me with this feeling that, even if the routes went in with other order of events, they were alredy doomed to begin and in the end they were nothing more than a means to an end, thus devalue the impact the routes give (at least for me, maybe im just too much of a faggot and im overthinking).

>>145637442
Terra wasn't all that good but it doesn't ruin the other stories for me.

>>145637503
I enjoyed Terra for expanding on side characters backgrounds. Yeah the story wasn't great but I feel it could have been worse

>>145637442
A big part of the theme of Rewrite is letting go of the past and banking on a new future. So let's say Terra's ending invalidates all the other routes. But so what? There's a brand new future waiting after the ending to Terra. The bonds that were sacrificed to make Terra possible can be made again, maybe into something even more beautiful and not as fragile.

I just watched episode 7 and it was really heart breaking. I'm devastated. The whole club got an undeniable proof that the occult exists and Kotaro couldn't get to feel the president's oppai. I'm about to cry here.

Think of it this way: The heroine's routes (and all the other alternate universes excluding Terra) show you that no matter what the earth and humanity are fucked regardless of whatever personal victories the characters achieve, because they missed the chance they had to fix it. Moon shows you this from the perspective of a Kotarou/Kagari who are not a participant in these events and can thus sort of take a step back and recognize that they fucked up by not knowing what was going on until the events of the routes we see, and Kagari (eventually) recognizes exactly what sequence of events needed to occur in order for the world to not be doomed. Terra is simply showing us that sequence, which is why there's no real choice (the only one is to show us where Terra splits from the heroine's routes). Maybe this is why people feel like Terra isn't ending it on a high note? It's because it's literally not. The climax of the story from the perspective of the characters was Moon, that's where all the problems were really solved. Terra is just an extended denouement.

I think that's what I like about Terra. It's very different from the rest of the novel both tonally and character-wise. There's an extreme contrast between Terra Kotarou and Coma Kotarou, he's a soldier and acts like it. He's practical and doesn't often let his emotions inform his actions like in the heroine's routes. He's downright cold. So it only makes sense that Terra is more of a "cold" route compared to the "hot" routes we'd seen previously, and "cold" endings are generally not full positive emotions when taken at face value. However it feels reading it, Terra is undeniably a happy ending, the only hint of bitterness is that Kotarou never formed the friendships he had after the coma, but even that's smoothed down by the epilogue where he's summoned as a familiar by the occult club girls.

>>145638435
>He's practical and doesn't often let his emotions inform his actions
Did we read the same Terra route?
He's such a fucking Edgelord it's not even funny.

>>145638485
>Did we read the same Terra route?
I could say the same. The only times he's unintentionally "edgy" (really just chuuni) is the scenes before he's recruited by guardian. All the stuff where he's bullying Kotori is pretty obviously done with purpose, to try and scare her off and avoid getting a little girl involved. You know, like a responsible adult? He's been desensitized by that point, being a veteran mercenary and all.

That said it's been like two and a half years since I read it.

>>145638684
To be honest I don't think Kotarou came across as "cold" at all during Terra.
If he was cold and pragmatic he'd have let Akane be sacrificed by Suzuki or wouldn't have saved Jasmine and Midou.

>>145638684
The fact Terra Koutarou saved Akane in the forest shows IMO he wanted to be alone to find his purpose in life but wasn't heartless, only trying to be

>>145638810
>>145638821
Still, the whole crux of the route is that he's not sympathizing with either guardian or gaia. He's way more divorced from his emotions compared to what we'd previously known of him.

>>145638435
I think that analysis of Kotarou's character is a bit reductionist. One major element of Terra is that Kotarou is ultimately the same person regardless of whether he was attacked by Kagari or not. The route is deliberately misleading in the same way the common routes are in that they both portray Kotarou one way before serious events force his true personality to come through. In common he's a jokey, fun-loving bro who wants to make friends with everyone while in Terra he's an introverted edgelord who strives to be an efficient fighter and revolt against the world around him, but neither of these are the "true" Kotarou.

On their own each respective approach wouldn't be anything special but I think forcing an examination of Kotarou's character from both those extremes strengthens his story quite a bit when taken as a whole.

>>145637846
>>145638435
i see, both points of view are interesting and i understand what you guys are trying to made me see, still don´t like the resolution to the story, but i can understand the beauty that rewrite convey

>>145638485
You have to consider Bond's circumstances at the time. His parents were gaiafags and never bothered bonding with him. He was alienated from his peers, and never got to interact with Yoshino, Kotori and the rest of the occult club as equals. Terra route highlights how big was the influence of friends in common route Kotarou.

Besides what happened in Moon, he went to such extremes for Kagari because he was that desperate for someone to care about him.

>>145639144
The biggest problem Terra has is that it actually has to show what's necessary to save the earth.
With honestly seems very contrived.
VN should have ended after Moon

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.

>>145639093
Touche, you make a good point, I don't disagree. After I posted that it also occured to me that part of the goal of the route was to show Kagari "good memories" of humanity. That Kotarou was essentially working to put an end to the conflict between Guardian and Gaia is in itself his emotionally charged response to the trauma he'd experienced. >>145639268 and >>145639220 make a good point in that his decision to take the third option and side with Kagari over the two bigger powers (interestingly mirrored in Kotori's route, but obviously far too late to matter) was a result of how they had wronged him in the past.

I was wrong, he still acts largely based off his emotions, it's just that he had a clear plan to fix the problem and the knowledge to execute it. You're right, but Terra is still a "cold" ending to a "hot" beginning, because he is ultimately measured and calculating, which yeah can lead to a bit of confusion in the reader when you're told to take it as the ending.

>>145639605
I forgot to mention that this is what makes me love Rewrite so much. It may not be the most well executed or even the most original story, but the elements really come together interestingly and there's so much to think about and discuss. It's a gift that keeps giving.

>The humor was top-notch and loyal to the VN up until they crammed Shizuru's and Lucia's routes into single episodes
This. They should have made the 5 waifu tertiary characters and focus on Kotarou, Kagari and the conflict between Gaia and Guardian. When you have only 13 episodes to adapt something so big you have to cut things.
Right now the pacing is so fast I have no idea how anyone who didn't read the VN can understand what's happening. This anime went from okay to total garbage really quick, everyone dropped it. Even comet lucifer thread had more activity.

>le epic initial tweest happens

Why is nobody talking about how shitty Aurora looked? To begin with the blades didn't even look like an aurora borealis, just some glowing metal with some shitty tentacles that at least somewhat resembled aurora.

That's not even the big problem with though, why didn't they show it shattering into red cloth that resembles the Key's ribbons? They make such a big deal out of that connection in the VN, and here they completely drop the ball both times that he uses Aurora.

If there were advertising it as the 6th route, they could have made it so that it plays exactly like the VN, and where it diverges (e.g. the club's disbandment) is where the 6th route comes into play. When Kotarou can't find any of the club's members, it's up to Kagari to fill the hole left in his heart. Who knows, maybe this could've saved the world by having Kotarou show Kagari human emotions, enough so for her to consider both the world and humanity as precious things to protect despite the conflict between Gaia and Guardian.

Done this way, the anime would serve as extra content for the VN readers, and it wouldn't give animeonlyfags an incomplete experience.

It's a shit adaptation, nothing surprising.

You did however remind me of my single favorite scene from the VN, when Kotarou starts forming and reforming thousands of variations of his aurora blades against the earth dragon and gradually evolving it into its perfect attack form which ends up being a replica of Kagari's ribbons

I'm not a huge fan of the VN's action pieces but that scene was masterful.

It's a damn shame. Key really fucked up by giving this to 8bit, but I guess this will be thrown into the pile of garbage anime adaptations that sacrificed quality for timely source material sales.

I didn't play the game, but this episode was just sad.

Did Romeo write other VN as good as rewrite?

>>145661593
It's hardly timely, the cheap Rewrite+ with very little "+" to it feels like it was made in time for the anime than the other way around.

>>145662057
How bad is it?

Cross Channel

Her lewd body.

Why did Kotarou almost forgot about everyone until Yoshino had to beat the shit out of him so that Kotarou can remember them.

>>145663824
>key writing
The whole VN is a fucking mess

>>145663853
My friend brought that up and I thought it is kinda interesting to discuss.

Why are they all blushing?

Kotori did something to mess with his head so he wouldn't come looking for her anymore.

>>145663824
Probably the same reason he forgot his life as Bond. Kotori must have done something to him like how someone tampered with Inoue's mind.

>>145665017
>>145665121
Speaking of his life as Bond, is it canon in all routes or just Kotori and Terra?

>>145667233
It's canon, it's how he still looks young enough to be in school despite being Nishikujou's age (around 27).

Anime-onlies really liked this episode.

Imagine if they read the VN.

>>145614707
Yeah it's a dog.
(It's goddamn mammoth!)

>>145670661
Hohohoho. There's a reason why they made this anime.

>>145670765
>It's goddamn mammoth!
You're crazy

>>145670661
The whole adaptation should've honestly been like episode 7. No randumb bullshit, no character arcs, just a group of friends slowly getting involved in the dark secrets of the world presented at first as a fun club experience.

>>145671101
The randumb bullshit is there to entertain us VN readers, though.

>>145662328
It's not bad, but there's very little new exclusive to it. Like 3 new CG sets, and a few new lines. Most of the other improves are stuff they had already done for the console ports and are just bringing to PC.

>>145673845
What kinds of new stuff were done for the console ports though?

>>145674126
New voices, new sprites. Inoue has sprites now which is good.

Weren't there supposed scenario and direction improvements? Or are those just the new few lines

>>145674574
I actually don't know the quantity of lines they added but the two examples I've seen in this thread were like six new lines added to a scene.

>>145674525
Would Hayasaka make a good Guardian agent?

>>145674655
At least it doesn't hurt to add some new lines to make scenes more understandable or humorous.

>>145674789
I agree, but it's far from the whole new route people mistakenly believe Rewrite+ to have added.

I would really prefer if they only did one route or just did a slightly extended common route over what we have now. Can't watch the show as it is now without cringing.

>>145674667
Undoubtedly yes

>>145674831
Wasn't the new route just people talking about Kagari in the anime? I thought the thing about Rewrite+ most people were looking forward to was HF

Blame Yuto tonokawa, the shittiest key author to date.

>(at least for me, maybe im just too much of a faggot and im overthinking).
you are a faggot and you're overthinking.

You can think of all the heroine routes as alternate ones that have occurred but failed in the end. The only way to change that was for koutarou to become key-jesus and shoulder the sins of the world.

>>145659553
She is the reincarnation of every hitler from the past since the beginning of the universe

Reminder that since she has the memories of all of her past selves Akane has more collected sexual experience than every other person who has ever lived.

>>145675195
But didn't she get the happiest ending?

>>145676008
Did she? Is that what bothered me about it? For all the talk about redemption there were very little redeeming she had to do.

>>145675828
>including being a bandit rape slave

lol

>>145675828
Makes me wonder what Sakura Kashima was like in her youth.

>>145676458
IIRC it was because the people were split on whether to forgove or kill Akane and Koutatou or banish them.
Since the latter happened and they had each other, they got closure on confessing to genocide or being accomplice to it.
It's been awhile though i could be wrong

>>145677056
She has the memories, but they're still different people, at least until the hive-mind takes over her brain entirely.

>>145677707
Did you find hivemind Akane in Chihaya's route hot?

>>145678771
Yes. Akane-sama is always sexy.

No. I prefer groping her titties when she's still of her right mind, for maximum shaming.

>>145679062
It's a shame the personality isn't more common

>>145679348
Know any shows with similar girls?

>>145679478
Depends on if you want Eri Kitamura voiced characters or the personality

>>145678771
>Did you find hivemind Akane
This Akane is a different kind of crazy. I immediately noticed the difference from when she overtook the power spot from Kotori on that route.
