While Rewrite was very successful in the market, it still took around 5 years for it to get an anime adaptation, which we see here today. I shall be going into some detail about this anime in the paragraphs to come.
Rewrite is Key's ninth game, along with other titles such as Kanon, Air, Little Busters!, and Clannad. The game ranked as the best-selling PC game sold in Japan for the time of its release, and charted in the national top 50 twice more afterwards. There have been four manga adaptations based on Rewrite published by ASCII Media Works and Ichijinsha.

The regular animation is passable at most times, though you’ll find a lot of horribly warped faces and such if you happen to pause at the wrong moment. It also makes use of some really clunky CG at times, which serves to further ruin the effect.
While Rewrite has a fairly high production value I feel that it falls short in its creative department, mostly due to an inconsistent tone and variable story quality. Many others seem to have thoroughly enjoyed it though, so you might too, but it's not a title that I plan on ever revisiting.
The second season of rewrite is definitely more coherent and flows better than the first season. I don't think it deserves a better score overall though....Reviews.Overall8Animation6Sound8Character6Enjoyment81 more row•Dec 29, 2016
Each of Rewrite's authors wrote their respective routes with a different idea of “romance” in mind. Kotori's and Chihaya's routes lack any sense of traditional romance – particularly Chihaya's route, which is one long homage to Fate/stay night's Unlimited Blade Works route.
Rewrite is one of my favorite VNs so I'd say yes. The characters are pretty great and it does the typical key balance of humor mixed with emotional stories really solidly.
Rewrite 2nd Season is the sequel to Rewrite TV Anime series. The season adapted the Moon Route and Terra Route of the visual novel. The staff from the previous season returned, but with the addition of Hiromi Nakagawa as chief animation director. It aired on Winter 2017, with 11 episodes.
Kotarou TennoujiKotarou Tennouji (天王寺 瑚太朗, Tennouji Kotarou) is the main protagonist of Rewrite and Harvest Festa!. He was originally a normal high-school student who hides an ability to rewrite, before eventually getting caught in the war between Guardian and Gaia.
Moon KagariAfter meeting her in the Moon Route, his love of Kagari gradually shifted to Moon Kagari instead. She also reciprocates his feelings, and both end up with each other at the end in the Terra Route on the moon.
The early part of Rewrite is supposed to be school/comedy/mystery, and then in the actual character routes it transforms into action/drama/supernatural. But in the anime, they've kind of just......Reviews.Overall8Story9Animation8Sound8Character81 more row

rewrite -- A promotional anime. (Look to the bottom if you are interested in hearing what I have to say on 2nd season.) Rewrite is an anime adapted from a visual novel created by Key, the company known for other giant VNs such as Clannad, Kannon, Little Busters!, Air etc (most of which were animated by Kyoto-animation).
Rewrite, as others have already stated, is an adaptation of a visual novel. Love, rebirth, the idea of a universal cycle and choice versus fate seem to be themes all represented in the telling, and retelling, of the story. Jump to the third paragraph if you want to skip me sounding like a babbling, know-it-all prat.
The main difference between Rewrite and the other Key Visual novels is the main writer was not Jun Maeda; the writer who was responsible for most of Key's hit series in the past. Jun Maeda's story telling style is very much set in magical realism; he really likes to use subtle sci-fi to propagate philosophical and psychological themes.
This hides a powerful undercurrent whose direction is undetermined because Kotaruo has yet to pick a direction for his life. He does not want to waste it and feels he has procrastinated enough. In typical teenage boy character his solution is tied up with a girl.
It wasn’t made for promotion because it assumes that you already know about many of the plot elements from the first half of the novel which were not shown in the 1st season of the show. It also wasn’t made for fans of the novel because it wasn’t even a faithful adaptation of the novel in many places.
With the first episode being 48 minutes long and the rest being 24, that means that the studio, 8bit, had only about ~6 hours of animation to complete the common route which makes up a bulk of the story, (40-45 hours).
double points if it has choices and/or some horror elements, though I guess I wouldnt mind if it doesnt either.
Sorry if this isn't the subreddit for this, but i cannot find anything on this and i am stumped!
