An action-packed PV of Rewrite has been published on the Aniplex Youtube channel. The original video was region-blocked, so we've re-uploaded it for you above so anybody around the world can view it!
The video seems to contain what may be considered spoilers for Rewrite, so if you're planning to
I love it! The only complaint about it is that the shirt tied around Kotarou’s waist isn’t plaid anymore but that’s just about it.
Though the PV didn’t seem that spoiler-y to me at all. It does reveals a bit about the nature of the series that only gets uncovered later in the series, but just little enough that it attracts audience of its appropriate genre without giving too much away. It’s pretty fine, unless there are people who want to know nothing about the series at all. XD
Finally 8-Bit shows us the PV that isn’t rushed
All I have to say it - 8-Bit, you make me proud 
That animation is dead-on beautiful
I love how Philosophyz plays right when Kagari is shown. It gives a sense of epic mess.
And maybe it’s just me, but I can tell that 8-Bit really loves putting in that budget on Chihaya scenes, and doesn’t care about the other girls as much.
Kagari - Best girl. Hopefully this is in the first episode to get anime-only watchers interested.
Edit - What the ? What kind of books are those ?!?!
Edit 2 - Did they just use the original Philosophyz ? It just made it more epic :o
I really don’t want complain anymore, but it looks AWFUL.
Where it looks good for you people? (look at my second post)
Shitty blurred, totally simplifeid art, average animation, awful shading, super ugly CG.
And Kagari in PV, WTF?!
It will be a trainwreck. Now I’m sure.
Rewrite has extremely beautiful and detailed art. Afaik none of the Anime adaptations of Key’s stuff has the same quality as the VN. Just look at the Little Busters anime for instance.
Ultimately it’s the plot and feeling I’m concerned about, and so far it looks like they nailed it.
Please, it is not a topic for joking. Really. Detailed art? Seriously?
OK, you tell me, it was made by KyoAni. Yes, of course, and?
LB looks great too (comparing to Rewrite) https://justpaste.it/vr9o
Can’t you see how huge the difference is? Shading, details, backgrounds quality, folds on their clothes.
PS my screens = totally random frames. I just skipped though few episodes.
So please, don’t tell me that Rewrite looks even average. It isn’t.
No shake it now baby now in the trailer T.T
Kotarou T-shirt changed. But that final part… is that akane in the bike whit TK???
Kagari stole the whole PV, 0 Shizurucia. 0 Akane, 0 Yoshino T.T (Inoue appear more than some heroines)
I think this is accurate. All of the scenes with Chihaya and Kagari in the PV look pretty nice but everything else is painfully unremarkable. I wouldn’t say it looks awful but I really don’t see how some can praise the animation as much as they are. This art looks like its incomplete.
Like @Gurluas said though, its the story that matters the most.
Art is subjective; don’t be a dick about it! I also don’t know what you mean by “blurred?” The characters stay normally shaped and don’t really stretch or anything which isn’t necessarily a good thing.
We’ve known the story was gonna focus on Kagari for almost 3 months.
Looks pretty solid to me. Couldn’t ask for more, personally.
So… it’ll be a trainwreck because it has bad art?
Care to elaborate on that fact?
I’m 99% sure @Gurluas was talking about the Visual Novel in his post, and was saying that, any of the anime adaptations will pale in comparison to the original… But of course, you are making your argument compared to other Key anime.
But hey,
I agree that the animation of rewrite can’t compete to previous KEY animation works but it nowhere near as bad as you describe.You exaggerate it too much.
I can’t quote you right now because mobile-version is being irritating, so I’ll just answer and say my thoughts
You do realize that most of the pictures from the ones you picked are just still frames. With still-frames, you can go into detail easily. Most of Rewrite’s PV’s were action packed.
This is one of the factors only. Yes, art is important too. It’s not a book.
The PV has a lot of derp shots, and the art in general is very minimalistic, with the lack of lighting found commonly in anime and soft shading and gradation that made the art seemed so unfocused and, well, “blurred.” But it’s in the animation and the composition/cinematography where the art shines the most. The movements look so dynamic and alive, and something about the composition seem so good.
And I thought the CG was well-done too. It doesn’t feel out of place, and I personally thought that it was just nice to look at. Or maybe because we haven’t seen Krivoy Rog enough?
Well, I did noticed that they have changed the color palette in this PV. It doesn’t look washed out anymore like it did before.
Someone from the MAL forums (yeah I lurk there) succintly described what the art’s about.
Basically, the anime sacrificed art in favor of fluid, dynamic animation, and we can agree or disagree on that choice. But to me, it suited the kind of story Rewrite has, and I can expect a lot of sakuga shots from action scenes in the future.
Well the art is the least of my worries in regards to the adaptation in general. And let’s save the word “trainwreck” for after the airing of the anime itself. :))
So if it’s only one factors, then you better specify what the other factors are. It’s not very appreciated if you rant without backing your reasoning, because these forums are not meant to be your personal ranting space.
LB is not KyoAni. JC Staff
AB is not Kyoani. PA Works
Charlotte is not Kyoani. PA Works.
Rewrite isn’t anywhere near to all of Key-based anime, no matted who produced it. Yeah, someone compared it to Grisaia. Comparing to Grisaia Rewrite looks awesome. But come on, almost everthing looks awesome comparing to grisaia.
And it’s not like people from 8bit aren’t capable for producing something whit GOOD art. Look at COMET LUCIFER. Even CG in this show looks really good (me praising CG… well, a phenomenon). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pNSntrbVnY
So I can’t say anything bad about something which I don’t like, because this board was made only for praising everything which has connection with Key? Good joke. I love Key, but I won’t be praising something which doesn’t deserve any praise.
I wrote my thoughts. I think I wrote enough, and writing more has no sense because most of users here are psychofans, so no matter what I say, I will be always wrong.
No one said anything about they being by Kyoani.
It’s not about praising or shaming. It’s about being intelligent which you are not. You’re just being a cunt. Like Pepe said, unless you elaborate and explain you’re arguments no one is gonna pay attention to you opinions.
You’re clearly misunderstanding. This board is not made for praising everything Key, it was made to discuss everything Key. If you just say “it will be a train wreck” without saying why then you are not discussing.
So when you say:
No, you did not write enough, and if you seriously think that, then you need to reevaluate how other people understand your words.
Saying this is in direct violation of the first rule of our Code of Conduct: “The Golden Rule of Kazamatsuri is to respect your fellow members.” and calling most users here “psychofans” is not, in any way, respectable. Consider this your first strike.
Simplified art - Obviously it has to be simplified. Do you not know that they’re saving budget for the action scenes ? They wouldn’t waste money to just do SoL stuff that probably won’t sell as much as the action scenes.
Average animation - I’m sorry, but you’re probably seeing things. The animation is gorgeous.
Awful Shading - You later went on to say Little Busters! had better shading. With Rewrite, yes, the shading is more spread out, but it’s not worse than Little Busters! Little Busters! shading wasn’t the best in the anime. I couldn’t stand looking at the shading for Haruka’s and Kanata’s hair with J.C. Staff doing it. They literally decided to put in the lowest possible color of that shade, on Haruka and Kanata’s hair, which didn’t look normal. The shading for Rewrite is more light, which is okay, because they’re saving the budget for the action scenes. If you’re really comparing, I prefer the Rewrite shading over this
Ugly CG - Well, it wasn’t bothersome to me at all. Compare some CG like Mayoiga’s to Rewrite’s, and Rewrite’s looks better. CG’s weren’t bad. Could they use more cleaning up ? Yes. But we’re the that horrible ? No. It actually looked fitting than most of the other CG’s nowadays.
Kagari in the PV - Uh. This anime will portray the “sixth route” about “that girl”, so I don’t know why you’re WTF-ing. First few episodes have to get people interested. Kagari’s the Key to it.
Blurred ? Little Busters! was more blurred, even with still frames so I don’t know what you’re talking about. Go watch the OP for example. And look at this picture and tell me you don’t see blurring. Blurring can’t be helped

Being a train wreck because you think it has bad animation, bad art, bad CG’s, and having Kagari shown in the PV ? I’m sorry, but when does bad art/animation = train wreck ? Don’t be narrow-minded like that. Showing Kagari in the PV doesn’t equal train wreck. As I’ve said, this will tell about “that girl”.
It can’t be compared to past Key-works because you know why ? Most Other Key stories focused on the SoL aspect, because that was a major part of the story. Rewrite’s SoL aspect isn’t the main focus. Why would you waste time animating scenes like that, when you can save the budget for something greater ?[quote=“csr, post:17, topic:2881”]

That’s not the reason. The reason being is because you’re saying all of that, being narrow-minded. Go ahead and express your opinions, but if you’re seriously just doing it for the sake of starting negativity without thinking logically, then it’s best not to say anything. You’re not even saying why you think certain aspects are bad. If you did, then maybe people wouldn’t be so against you.
