I think this is the best episode so far. It was still rushing, but permissible.
The success might be owed to Ryuuichi Takahashi, the writer of the episode. He well summarized the necessary information in simple lines. He didn’t use much lines from VN but with the movie, the situation and emotion was really well explained.
If I complain about this episode, fighting part was as bad as it was. For example, in the VN, the dinasor (may be called as Deinonychus) was deadly strong monster for Kotarou but in the animation, it seems they are not strong and Kotarou even have chance to fight back. Futhermore, the moves of gurdians are really sluggish though in the novel they hash them up ‘like window’. I know it is difficult to make good adaptation from the novel’s battle scene and they didn’t do the good job in this part but it is still disappointing.
I also like the shot. It really well implies the storyline and at the same time is just cool.
I also want to add some information about URA.(not so related to the topic) It is said that he is in charge of some of Shaft OPs (Nisekoi 1st season’s 2nd OP and Nekomonogatari(shiro))He also made VN trailers other than Front Wing like the OP of Itadaki Jangarian R. In the past, a lot of parody MAD movie mimicking the movie’s style were made.
I like his way of making continuity in a movie. And for the new OP, his style works really well. I recommend to watch some of his past works if you like the movies of Rewrite OP.
The movie below is the OP of Itadaki Jangarian R. (The song used in this movie is a typical type of Denpa song. Be careful if you don’t like such type of songs.)
