I think they went too deep into Lucia’s route. Last episode, I remember saying that Rewrite was taking a wrong turn, I still think so, but truth be said, I enjoyed the episode.
The animation got better in my opinion.
If you accept the fact that this episode is a quick summary of the “Asahi Haruka”'s part of Lucia’s route, you might enjoy it as much as I did.
But still, enjoying the episode doesn’t mean that the episode was actually good.
Going this deep into Lucia’s route in a 20 mins episode was a risk, it was going to be bad no matter what they did, but they actually did a good job summarizing that part of the route. And it had better storytelling here than Shizuru’s episode.
And I still hate how they are using the music, I was watching the episode on my phone, and I couldn’t hear the music well even on max volume. Music = better atmosphere. And it’s not like they are making new music, the music is already there why are they afraid to use it well? Rewrite had one of the best music collection I’ve ever heard yet the anime seems to be shy using it.
Also, Yay I guessed something right! The anime had introduced Gardian, and now to Gaia! However, I have a bad feeling about the last few seconds of the episode. Which is, I think This is the 4th time I’ve mentioned it… Them revealing things that aren’t supposed to be revealed that quick, which is Shizuru and Lucia’s battle gear, did they even show that outfit for Lucia in the VN?
Looking forward to see the next episode I think they’ll not processed to Gaia, but introduce us more to Guardian, and who knows, we might see the world destruction and start over again with Gaia in another line
This is just me guessing, or at least that’d be cool , or that’s just what I want to see haha
