Rewrite was exactly the kind of anime series that I did not know what to make of, and the fact that the first episode was over forty minutes long simply did not help. However, what the show was trying to say got through to me better in the second episode, and I realized that the fact that Rewrite is a Japanese visual novel and this is an adaptation of its gameplay just oozes out of it. Furthermore, I was counting on the fact that it was going to be very much focused on mystery and that there would be some big surprise, an interesting plot line like in the anime series Kanon. The girl/spirit (later known as Kagari) that haunts the main male protagonist, the setting in which the main male protagonist's first dream took place, and the official content that AniChart and other anime websites have for this anime series hinted at it. So in that respect, I was not surprised. However, I was rather disappointed that the plotline was not as intense and sophisticated as I would have expected from the gentlemen from the KEY visual novel studio. I personally quite like this cute animation style, and the fact that there are a lot of adorable Lolita girls should normally lead to me feeling satisfied. However, unfortunately, it is not so lovable and emotional for me to be somehow significantly affected. There is also too much unnecessary fan service for my taste, and I am not too impressed with the perversity of the main male protagonist. He should be nice to such cute Lolita girls and not be obsessed with touching their under-developed breasts. The soundtrack was not that impressive at first, and some of the musical motifs did not suit what was going on, although it got better as the episodes went on, and the soundtrack of the last episode is quite good. I am also going to mention the CGI monster the main male protagonist encountered on his journey to find the "witch" - it was horrible, as were most of the other CGI monsters that would come later, and they were quite jarring. Well, I finished watching it because the mystery element and Lolita girls would not allow me to quit, although to be honest, it could have been much better. 4/10.
