Rewrite - Anime Pre-Release Discussion & Speculation

That seems like a super fucking shady site right there. Like, if it were an official online store that had that info I might even believe that, but a random website like that just screams fishy.

I’m really not sure how to feel about this.

May god have mercy on us

There’s no way there’d be Blu-Ray listings before the series is even finished being developed :stuck_out_tongue:

myanimelist is an even less reliable source for information

Regardless of shady sites and rumours, I don’t mind if Rewrite ends up 13 episodes, as long as the entire thing is this anime original “6th route” we heard about. And not everything shoved into a big Micheal Bay explosions and boners inspired mess.

It’s just me, but I think we’re better off waiting for official announcements than going along with rumors that are hard to confirm. If we’re not careful enough, we’ll only cause needless uproar (ugh can’t find the right word) among the community.

…or did the website you linked here (Anirele?) cited a primary source (as in where they got the info)?

While I must applaud the amount of detail they put in that website; no, it is not any more reliable. It shows no proof for its claims and thus we have no way of confirming their information except by taking their word for it.

The listing has been officially posted in Amazon
Yeah Rewrite will have 7 Vols only, each vol will contain two discs, they didn’t specify the number of eps.

Just curious, how often are 2+ cour shows entire DVD/Blu-Ray listings posted at once? I know there were issues earlier this season with Twin Star Exorcists only having 12 episodes worth of DVDs posted (currently confirmed to be 50+ episodes) and JoJo’s at 13 (Confirmed for 39). Plus if it’s split-cour wouldn’t they second half not be posted until winter?

Somebody spread this stuff. There’s frenzy going around regarding this (or at least in the MAL forums where I lurk a lot).

Let’s actually wait for official confirmation. The released BD listings aren’t solid proof that those are the only ones we should expect. Otherwise, major misinformation will go around and needless salt will rain down (if I have to put it in lousy metaphors).

Yeah, MAL is going nuts right now. I too, was kind of having a meltdown over there earlier.

I saw the post at MAL about it “being only 12-13 episodes” right before I had to leave and when I came back I was not surprised at all about how crazy things went, like, seriously, why is everyone jumping into conclusions like that?

Kagari, you didn’t have to sing the song of destruction at MAL, at least not yet.

The fact that they’re reporting two discs per volume suggests to me 4 episodes per volume, which would fit neatly into 26 episodes. And even if that’s the case, that doesn’t mean there can’t be more than 26 episodes planned.

But yeah, we don’t know anything yet, so it’s all pure speculation.

Charlotte had two discs per vol and each Vol had two episodes only soooooooo…

When I pre-ordered the Japanese blu-rays for Nagi no Asukara, I had to place two separate orders because they had only made the first 6 volumes available originally. Volumes 7~9 I ordered later. So yeah, from experience it’s not an uncommon practice.

The only thing we can decently infer from this is that “Rewrite will be at least 13 episodes” (7 volumes generally means 13 episodes per cour); this doesn’t imply there won’t be a second cour in any shape or way.

The forum users at MAL seems very disappointed for now but the majority of comments that we have had until now suggests they give a lot of attention to adaptation.
It would be foolish to throw everything in block because of a nummber

We got a confirmation from BS11
Rewrite will have 12 episodes

also according to Animate each BD vol will have 2 episodes and the first vol will contain the 1 hour long ep only

I’m hoping split-cour. How often are Aniplex shows more than 13 episodes without splitting up anyway? in 2015/16 there was only Your Lie in April and Gintama with UBW, Asterisk War, Durarara!!, IdolM@ster CG, Aldnoah.Zero all being split-cour in the same period.

Shigatsu had 22 episodes if I remember correctly
