Overall Score: 5.75/10
Animation: 6
Voice Acting: 7
Story: 4
Sound Quality: 6 Season 2 is a dramatic departure from the first. Gone are the cheerful school days — what remains is a bleak, philosophical dive into themes of fate, choice, destruction, and rebirth. The pacing is slower, the tone more serious, and the stakes are much, much higher.
The animation remains consistent, and the voice acting handles the heavy emotional moments quite well. Sound design is atmospheric but still modest. The real highlight here is the attempt to explain the fragmented world building from Season 1, giving fans the backstory they were craving.
That said, the storytelling often feels too compressed and abstract, especially for those unfamiliar with the source material. The second half carries genuine e…

In my Rewrite Season 1 review, I mentioned how it was a decent way for the anime to settle on an original ending that, surprisingly, still fit within the universe due to the rewrite setting. Season 2 not only explains why that ending makes sense, but in a way, it also aligns thematically with the main ending of the original Rewrite visual novel.
It's hard to talk about this season—or the series as a whole—without spoilers, but I'll do my best.
If you jump into Rewrite Season 2 (Moon & Terra) right after watching Season 1, you might be confused. There are random flashbacks to events that weren’t shown in Season 1. That’s because Season 2 is trying to provide fan service to visual novel players by briefly showcasing key moments that couldn’t be fully adapted from the heroines' routes. It’s…

It kind of makes the whole first season feel a little irrelevant when you reveal that there's a multiverse of infinite worlds the protagonist has lived through and that was just one of them picked seemingly at random just to introduce you to the characters and setting. It's almost like Kagari is just up there on the moon playing the visual novel and we're just seeing the default route before brute forcing all the choices so we move on to the true ending. If you've ever tried to brute force a true ending on a visual novel with lots of choices that don't have clear outcomes you'll realize quickly how frustrating it can feel. I think that's pretty much what the characters are going through for the first part of this season.
Then we get the "good" or "true" ending route where whenever a choic…

S2 obviously better than S1. That's no doubt.
In terms of adaptability - quite good. Maybe because both Moon and Terra route are straightforward route and not too long. But honestly speaking, if any VN readers wanted to jump into the anime just to see the animation, just go straight to S2 because s1 had nothing similar that we can talk about. Even I think one should stop and read the VN before getting into S2 because they actually starts with some VN-only content of the first half where you might be confused on. And if you feel shocked with the story progress, don't be. I have said in S1 that the story is misleading.
But anyway, all my complains are either the same or only with S1, so nothing special more on S2 here. But at least this story is more fathomable this season.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS SHOW.
This season was complete garbage. If you don't want to rage after seeing a trash anime then don't watch this. Even trash anime has some appeal to it but this was straight up unbearable. Here's why I didn't like this anime at all...

The protagonist was pathetic. I liked the first season because of the way the protagonist acted. But this season he was completely different. I hated his screaming and crying. I hated his edgy behavior.
The story sucked big times. The writer definitely could have done a better job of explaining things. I got the gist of it but the way it was presented was horrible. It just dumped a but load of information onto the viewer in a very short amount of time.
The ending sucked. I want to spoil the ending so bad. It was so bad and…

There are two types of adaptations (well, not really, but follow me please :) ) : the ones that you can watch instead of the source material, and the ones that must be avoided at all costs.
The anime Rewrite is the latter. I'll be blunt: it is probably the WORST ADAPTATION I've ever seen, all media accounted.
When I discovered Rewrite, I didn't want to read the VN (way too long), so I tried the anime. From the very first episode, I could see something was wrong. Even without knowing the source material.
That's how bad it is.
STORY Before I talk about the anime, I have to explain the VN.
- Rewrite has no less than SEVEN parallel stories.
- These stories are all completely different from one another.
- The VN is one of the longest even today (it's as long as Fate/Stay Night). You can co…

first sorry for my poor English.
But I really want to talk how I think about Rewrite.
Story 7/10
Rewrite has a considerable amount of text in the original game.
its not so easy to bring it in to the 2 season anime episodes.
So its must need to cut off some plot.
As a fan who played the original game before.
I could still enjoy in the anime. Art 7/10
Different to the Gurizaia series 8bit doesnt have enough money on rewrite's anime.So the animation performance is not good.
But the chara design is great! the anime chara design is more lovely than the game.

What do you get when you combine a typical harem-romance anime like the first season with a heavy dose of Fate?Zero vibes? Something that completely betrayed my expectations after the first season.
Plot:
After the... surprising ending of the first season, I didn't even know what to expect from a continuation. I have to give credit to the creators for managing to overturn such an ending in a way that didn't feel like an ex-machina.
Though, I have to say that there were some parts that were't fully explained. Still, those were only minor inconveniences, and they don't take away from the enjoyment. The most important one is explained in the last episode.
Character:
This is the part where this season is fundamentally different from the first one. While S1 did have some good moments, they wer…

When I watch, finish, understand and feel an Anime I get depressed after I finish it, thats how I rate an anime.
This anime made me feel mixed emotions specially at the end of the two seasons. The end of season 1 was depressing and could have kept me depressed for a long time if I watched it while it was being aired but since I watched it late season 2 was already waiting for me. Of course that didn't lessen the impact the scenes gave. Plot wise id say it made my feelings dance. Specially season 1 where there are good mix of comedy specially between Kotarou and Yoshino, Romance and friendship between Kotarou and his harem. The lacking of action was understandable and it was also Okay considering their age in season 1.
Season 2 was kinda depressing specially after you build up ships and…

Second season was definitely better than the first one. The character development was better in the main character.
I do not recommend to watch second season unless you have seen already first one, and want to see the development with your own eyes.
To me, the anime was confusing. This is one of those anime's , that you need to watch twice to understand it. In my opnion, this anime however IS NOT worth watching twice. It wasn't interesting enough.
The music in the anime was disapointing. Yes, it was...ok. I was rather bothered however to the fact that the same music was in the season 1.
The song in the OP was ok too. It wasn't that original compared to other anime's.
OP animation however, was striking to the eye. It was better than in the season 1.
The animation style in the anime ove…

I didn't have reviewed the first season so i will also write about the season 1 here...
The thing is i don't know how many people liked it or not, but the season was petty good i really like it, the way it look it was the one of the timeline of Koutaro.
When i started to watch it first i didn't that what is going in until little end then i was got clear to me that what is happening in the story..
The story was good, but the end of season 1 was well i just thought what happened...
suddenly everything just ended .... i was not hoping a ending like this....
Then i thought there might will be something in season 2 , now the main thing starts from here..
The First 3 episodes of the season 2 was really interesting to watch then i thought " wow now something good is finally happening", then in…

*Someone is literally gotta rewrite the story of rewrite*
This is my first review of anime, so please don't judge my language xd. Anyway, i just can't stay in my place when looking this fail.
that's what i really want to say here:
Story 5/10:
The story is very complicated to be understand or let's say, i can't understand it at all. The VN is better than the animation. I have to agree with that. Looks like they are rushing the story very very very very very much. And that's making the story very hard to be understand, unless you have read the novel. uwu.
Art 8/10:
The art is just simply good. Although there are some parts that need to be fixed. Like the hair shadow... . The world detail was just fine.
Sound 9/10:
This is what i love about the anime. The soundtrack is very well made. The…

To call this a master piece might be much but it was none the less a beautiful work of art. in the first season we see the main character develop with all the other characters as well as the plot that they are all tangled up in. as the beginning is a bit slow in season two i feel like it had a decent pace. however in episode 5 we see everything fall in place. he starts to develop even more and endure a lot of stuff for those who he loves. eventually the show comes towards an end which they do so in a beautiful manner. and then we see probably one of the best ending along with one of the most plain endings ive ever seen. if it wasnt for my inner fanboy and inner need for love the ending would of been bad and corny. im glade it ended the way it did but it could of ended so much better. howev…

Rewrite is a tottaly underrated anime bcz of his first season,and yes first season is trash,but wait there's another season called Moon & Terra.This season follows Kotarou's adventures in a real world and his training to become one of the sindycate's spies.He must become Gaia and Guardian,not bcz of unity of these two company's,but bcz he want's to see things from their view,only then Kotarou can choose will he protect or kill Kagari(Key).As we can see in the first season,the world ''dies''(salvation),and yet in the second season we see him and Kagari on the MOON,Kagari is trying to find ''FOND MEMORIES'' fond memories represents all the human hatred and love,and also their sins.Of course Kagari did found Fond Memories with Kotarou's help,but if you noticed Kagari isn't happy about this an…

MAIN INGREDIENTs
- Powerful MC
- Cute girls + a loli from the moon
- Alternative Dimensions/Parallel Universes
- Re:Zero spices
- Confusing theories that you have to play VN to find out
- philosophy, rom-com and feels herbs
= Rewrite. WHAT I LIKED
- Character development was well-done as the plotline portrayed a clear progression rather than a typical stagnation, this was expertly done as we were able to dive into the various inner thoughts, thinkings and cognitions the MC had. This is especially important as it allowed the viewers to empathize with him, which in turn affect how we feel about his choices and personality.
- The storyline is definitely unique and gives a time-travel/alternative dimension feel. The "what-if" situation is quite a special treat for me as I can't help wonderin…

This is a massive improvement from first season. I didn't expect this to improve that much to be honest, and, while still has many flaws, shows how an anime studio can learn, even if it's just a bit, from its mistakes.
Disclaimer: I didn't played the VN so i'll review this, as i did with the first season, as an anime-only viewer.
The story adapts the Moon and Terra routes from the VN and because of that this season is clearly split in two parts: Moon route (3 episodes) and Terra route (8 episodes)
The Moon route is rather confusing at first showing as memories a lot of scenes from previous rutes that i didn't know because the first season adaptation was total bullshit. Because of that, i didn't care about the main heroines and anything related to them because they are barely developed in…

Well,
I actually really like the rewrite Series(VN), and if i had to say then prob the first few episodes and the last one of this season were the best of the whole anime.
Like it wasn't necessarily bad, just a little bit underwhelming in comparison to the visual novel, which is understandable if they had to put in that much information into just 12 episodes.
I'd say as someone who read and really enjoyed the vn this was a rather nice resumee, but could just not be good or rather detailed enough to be a standalone anime.
Like you could see the (emotional)potential in each of the scenes(e.g esaka fight) but there just wasn't enough detail or length to be completely immersed into those.
Anyways i enjoyed it, prob. mainly because i liked the vn but i liked this one, and i could be mistaken bu…

I honestly can’t believe how few people enjoyed this anime. Well, I enjoyed it so let me tell you why:
This series starts where the first one left off and continues to follow Kotarou after the events at the end of the first season. The second season is, by far, much better than the first, but you need to watch the first to get the context of the second. The first slightly gave off a “harem” vibe to it, but it actually wasn’t one. I can totally see why people wouldn’t like it. However, the second focuses more on the relationship between Kotarou, Kagari, and an entirely new set of mains other than those two. I won’t spoil any of the new details, but the series follows a much older kotarou and also gets pretty realistic and dark. Also, I laughed pretty damn hard when it suddenly became “Jame…

Hmm...you know what this series needs? A rewrite. (Yes, I know that joke has been done to death already, but it's still fun to use.) Rewrite is a much anticipated adaptation of one of Key's most well-known visual novels that had mixed results. Its poor and attempts to compact the source material while trying to finish off its story with an anime original ending created polarizing feedback from those who watched it. So, for its second season, 8bit took another shot at the series and well...had about as much success as 8bit would have for these kinds of things.
Story: To summarize, Rewrite follows the story of Tennouji Koutarou and his quest to save the earth by aiding the Key, named Kagari, in her quest to understand humanity and save the world from its attempt at restarting itself. While…

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.
The story revolves around Kotarou as he learns how to utilize his rewrite power more effectively while also working with the Key, Kagari, to try and prevent the world from being destroyed. He does this while being apart of both Guardian and Gaia throughout the episodes. I should mention that the battles at the end were kind of a let down. The ending (spoiler) still has the world being destroyed like season 1, but the final battles are not as good; almost all of the action is cut out and all but one or two fights don't even show Kotarou dealing the final blow.
The art is about the same as the first season, maybe a little better. I like t…
