NEWS: Rewrite Anime's 2nd Promo, Additional Staff Unveiled

" Tanaka mentions that the early part of the series will closely resemble the original visual novel, but toward the middle of the series it will begin to deviate significantly from the original story."

Subpar quality animation, expected nothing less from 8-Bit.

I feel awful about this. I can understand where KARMA is coming from on the post above me, but these works are loved for a reason. Rewrite's VN is an amazing piece of work and changing it "significantly" with a subpar studio like 8-Bit in charge sounds scary. KyoAni is the only one I've seen "change" a VN and end up with an excellent product. And it's not a "little corner". It's the existing fan base that generally complains when adaptations suck. Anime are usually done to advertise their source material. Little Busters! anime, at least in the West, just pushed people away from wanting to read the VN (Though I loved Refrain's anime). I fear a bad adaptation of this will push people away from the game when it gets released in the West.

Bro, you keep saying "8-Bit 8-Bit" like they are the ones in charge of everything, you completely neglected that its a show produced/funded by Aniplex and Key, also the anime original content will be written by Romeo Tanaka himself, I understand why you are worried, but you shouldn't say that its already a failure because "8-Bit" are animating it.

8-Bit has no control over the episode count/budget/script quality, they just animate and make sure that they are following the schedule that was given to them.


if this turns out to be bad then blame Aniplex, Key and the scriptwriters.

also the animations look very fluid and its very well directed (especially the scene where Kotarou drops the baseball bat, the camerawork there is splendid)

Welcome to the anime community today. You make some excellent points and I completely agree... I would also like to add that 8-Bit work like BONES. So in actuality the only 8-Bit employees working on this would be Tensgo, a few producers and most likely their sakuga animator Ryouma Ebata (even though looking at the pv he may be even more then a animartor. All this animation looks like Ebata's with his freeness of the character movements and extra attention to the movements)

In this community the quality of a studio is judged by their ability to adapt. Look at the comments of the Planetarian announcment. Everybody is delighted because its David Production and they spent 48 episodes for 15 volumes, there is a total lack of respect in this community for the actual animators themselves. All people want is for them to copy and paste, if people see one hint of the staff actually using their right as animators to, well, CREATE, they are instantly tossed in the trash can of "these guys are horrible animators". Its sickening. Its the main reason why Japanese fans absolutely despise us over here, because the overseas community just can't seem to fathom that animators were trained to create stuff, not be a flipping photocopier.

Sorry for my rambling haha, its just fantastic to see that I am not the only one who finds it annoying how a studio is instantly regarded as garbage simply because one of their shows wasn't an exact copy and paste.

there is an issue with the anime community regarding the recent news about Rewrite, I've seen a lot of people misunderstanding the news and thinking that "it will be all anime original"
