Rewrite Anime Announced!

Hyped… But the studio working on it did Grisaia no Kajitsu… And that adaptation was terrible.

It’s being adapted by Studio 8-bit. Shit. They have a horrible track record, and their adaptation of Grisaia is one of the worst anime I’ve ever seen. I wouldn’t watch it until after I read the VN, but Studio 8-bit just makes me think that it’s going to be so bad that I won’t want to even get near it. I’m dreading the day when the 2nd episode airs, and we get confirmation that it’ll only be 1 cour.

I may not have any faith in this at all, but seriously, don’t fuck this up 8-bit. Or at the very least try to make it watchable enough for the VN readers to not want to pull their eyes out from how shit it is.

Oh so that’s why 8-bit sounded kinda familiar, yes their Grisaia was garbage, well shit, there goes my cautious optimism

Okay lets calculate mow’s hype level, studio Eight Bit -70 points the fact that it is rewrite +1,000,000 points. No matter how bad it is adapted it is better than nothing, and most of the time these turn out way better than you thought it would. The fact that there are going to be moving frames of rewrite outweighs any other issues. We have already heard the story so really if that is intact or not would only really matter if you haven’t read it. It would be nice if it was really good and on par with the vn but still, it is better than nothing.

You underestimate 8-bit

I’ve never liked the argument of “At least we’re getting an adaptation”. It feels a bit like the person is saying that they don’t give a shit about the quality of the work, and only want to see it animated, which doesn’t sit too well with me.

Oh. My. God. I’m hyped as FUCK!

It was just announced and I don’t want to think it’s going to be shit just because of the studio. I want to judge when it’s out. And if it is shit I can still complain.

But for now, REWRITEE ANIMEEEEE!

8-bit?
Basically, we’re in for the shittiest and most disrespectful Key anime adaption yet.

On the other hand, I never expected a Rewrite anime adaption to be good in any way, since it’s nearly impossible to adapt properly and would require a lot of resources. I’m just happy about the prospect of seeing the characters animated. I merely hope that my rage over the failure won’t outweigh that happiness when I see the real thing.

On one hand I’m really excited, because that adaptation is something I was looking forward to since about 2 years.
On the other hand, I’ve heard that 8-bit isn’t the best choice as far as VN adaptations are concerned. On top of that the differences between routes are huge, making a coherent anime out of all of them sounds almost impossible to me.

Come on man.
Toei.

KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

I shouldn’t even be here but I’m breathless right now. Just… Oh My God the hype is real!!! I promise I’ll cut their heads if they don’t give me a perfect adaptation of Lucia’s route.

Two words I gotta say and they are the same word but I don’t care: YES!!! YES!!!

Now please don’t make it just one cour 8 bit. Please don’t.

Rewrite one cour would be heartbreaking. Hell I’m even trying to think of a way to fit it into two cour without making it feel rushed. Little Busters format of one 2 cour season + one one cour season would probably be ideal for it.

Better get your axe ready or get your head out of the clouds, I’m 100% sure it won’t be perfect.

The kind is dead, long live the king!

I’m really worried about Romeo Tanaka being the screenwriter. He has like no experience working on anime. He could be like Jun Maeda for all we know, and completely fall apart when faced with an anime.

not really…Okay you can just sit there and not watch it, nobody is forcing you to watch it. It’s just like another rewrite product being released… I hate to break it to you but rewrite didn’t even sell that well, so the fact we are getting this is what it is. Welp I know you will be eating this “crap” up even if you complain about it, there is almost zero chance you will not watch it at all. Go ahead don’t watch it at all. Prove how bad this studio is by not watching it at all. Why are you planing to watch crap? oh right because ITS REWRITE MAX HYPE. Also in regards of grisaia the 2nd season has a higher average score on mal than Charlotte right now. and Charlotte is key and had a “(insert newly formed opinion about studio based off of Charlotte here)” studio to back it up…?

Sorry buddy I am going to be hype, I want to see for myself if it turns out good or bad, I will go through the whole series no matter what in hopes that there are some good parts. People where mad shit talking about the little busters anime as well before it came out, it might of been a bit rough here and there but for sure was worth watching. I feel charlotte was hyped super high hype and turned out not the best but still for sure worth watching just to see if you thought it was good or not and discussing the good and the bad… Even if you go back to the time of kyoani, Air was absurdly rushed, so even the “best” screw up here and there. (that isn’t even their big mess up overall lol… hint 8 shivers)

You have no way to prove it is bad right now… cause news flash it isn’t out… just going in with a negative view will make it seem worse than it is. But really you can think what you want, nobody will force you to watch it but I know you probably will… Yeah you are right it most likely won’t live up to its full anime potential but I would say 99% of anime don’t live up near to their full potential. Just stop being so worried and watch it when it comes, criticize some praise it some… you know the drill.

I’m getting confused. But anyway. I’ve already stated that I don’t plan to watch it. At most I’ll watch Episode 1, but that’s it. Unless I hear that it’s actually really good after it airs, then I have no intentions of watching it.

The difference is that PA Works has an amazing track record compared to 8-bit. Also, Grisaia’s 2nd Season didn’t adapt a 50+ hour visual novel, so it has that in it’s favor.

Go ahead and watch it. It’s fine that you’re excited for a Rewrite anime, but I’d much rather people keep their expectations low.

I’m just speculating based on what I already know. There’s nothing wrong with that. Also, I disagree. If I go into the show thinking it will be shit, then I won’t be as let down, and think better of it than if I expected something.

I don’t really care too much about it living up to it’s potential. I just want it to be good, which I’d say a large amount of anime are.

What did you say ? Common guys, 8-bit studio they did very well in adapting from novel. Grisaia is an example, Tokyo Ravens too, I read novel already and in my opinion they did well. There were many failed projects in adapting from novel to anime before and Grisaia is a rare light point lately. Let give them a chance, like KyotoAni before, after CLANNAD they were famous, and now 8-bit, a young studio, let them assert themselves through Rewrite. Maybe they would be able to do impossible things.

Key gives Rewrite to 8-bit, in my opinion, the reason is 8-bit adapts in MANY COURSES. Tokyo Ravens is two, Grisaia too. No more fuck-up one-cour like AB! and Charlotte!

I could say that it’s a bad anime, but I think that it’s almost factual that as far as adapting the material, 8bit didn’t quite bad. I mean, Yumiko’s route is changed almost completely. There’s also tons of information left out in Sachi’s route. The anime was more of a summary of the VN than anything else.

They were already famous, since by that point they’d already made Haruhi, Lucky Star, and Full Metal Panic.

They aren’t very young, and have enough projects in their record for people to form a solid opinion on them.

We don’t know how many cours it will be. For all we know, it will be 1. That’s what they did with Grisaia.
