Here’s the Kotori character design. Thanks to the @Rewrite_tv Twitter account for posting about it. I also tried cropping the other character designs, but they turned out blurry. Too bad the braid isn’t filled in, but other than that, I love this character design.

I’m lovin the character designs, but, Akane’s doesn’t look too intimidating enough. In her anime design she looks cute but not like someone who can manipulate you.

- At the start of Kotori’s line there’s a mentioning of “last/previous time” but without a context I can’t really put it into English words.

I think it’s probably referring to when kotori thought she turned him into familiar
Liked Kotori, better than in VN.
Kotarou/Kagari also fine.
Lucia and Akane need to be more evil.
Shizuru/Chihaya looks like 10y. kids.
Exactly my thoughts, I think Akane looks a bit odd with the anime design, it feels completely different.
We can only hope that theyll make her more evil or something because to me it just doesnt really feel like Akane at all :/.
I really love the rest of them. Especially Kotarou, so good, no homo.
EDIT: Also what suprised me is that only one of the sketches of Shizuru had an eyepatch on her.
To be honest I like Chihaya’s anime design more than the VN design/White Fox’s design.
Her hair looks more modest and cute in the anime.
Also I think that Akane looks innocent because she doesn’t have the witch smirk on.
Kagari’s design is super mega adorable, I just want to gently pinch her cheeks xD
Also it is just me or this design looks like J.C Staff’s LB design??
The characters generally look good, they meet expectations for me (except for Akane), but I’m disappointed at the lack of any actual animation. Although there is still plenty of time, I wanted more…
I feel like we don’t really know more about the anime now than we did before this, especially because there’s no telling how good the overall thing will look when it’s out.
That said it’s reassuring that it’s at least not looking like a visual disaster for now, which would’ve been awful news so early on.
All in all I still feel as doubtful as before though; but I guess we’ll have to wait longer to have anything substantial that can comfort or contradict those doubts.
Guess it was naive to expect much out of a PV at this point in time; still quite mixed about all this though I have to say.
There’s something else we can do instead of looking at the art. Let’s use what information is presented here to infer the content of the series.
By the existence of Kagari and Kotori’s words, I think we can assume that Kotori route will be adapted in some form.
Lucia mentioning taking off get gloves also suggests that her route will be adapted as well.
Anything else I missed?
EDIT: Kagari’s name and her smile also suggest Moon, or maybe Terra as well.

I would think that Akane’s words might also hint at Chihaya’s route.
Isn’t “Kagari” used in other routes to refer to her?
Also how often does Shizuru take off her eye patch outside of her route? It seems weird she only has it in 1/5 pictures.
If that was true, I guess we can expect 24+ eps.
And with information in hands, I can confirm that every single route in the VN, will take place in the anime.(including moon and terra)
She takes it off pretty early in her branch of common. Not a lot to hide.
As for Kagari, I’m pretty sure she’s referred to as ‘The Key’ right up until Moon.
I think I have an idea of how this series will go now.
It’ll start on common for a while, before we dip slightly into Kotori and pulling back before we get stuck in her route. From there we’ll get Chihaya in it’s entirety and a relatively faithful Lucia adaptation. After that, we’ll end with Moon and Terra. At this point I’m pretty convinced that Shizuru and Akane won’t be included in the main story; OVAs at best. Same reason as CLANNAD; those routes are just too incompatible with the rest.
Let’s see how accurate my prediction ends up being!

They refer to her as Kagari at least in Chihaya’s route[quote=“RyuuTamotsu, post:157, topic:2127”]
I can confirm that every single route in the VN, will take place in the anime.
[/quote]What do you mean, “you can confirm”?
I knew it was early but wasn’t that it outside of character routes? I wasn’t necessarily meaning she’ll get her route as I know it’s off in Lucia and Kotori routes just wondering why they showed so little of the eye patch when she had it way more than she didn’t.
My memory might be foggy but wouldn’t Lucia’s route require him being closely affiliated to Guardian but Chihaya flat out joining Gaia? If I’m remembering right it would be hard to adapt either route without that.
Knowing that its key we will probably get a proper PV in April 1 xD

In the “rewrite introduction note” attached with the key set, they mentioned evey route with a hand-drawn pictures of the CG in the routes.
What’s the point of introducing the routes for people who are watching the anime ? “Introduction” means that the people who played the VN already know what’s happening.
That’s just a guess but, I guess it’d be stupid to introduce something then just not talk about it or not bring it in the anime.
