Rewrite
What is Rewrite?
Rewrite is a thirteen-episode drama series that aired during summer 2016, adapting a supernatural mystery visual novel. The story follows Tennouji Kotarou, a high school student living in Kazamatsuri, a city transformed by extensive tree planting into an overgrown landscape of flora despite its modern infrastructure. Kotarou possesses an unusual ability: he can rewrite his own body to enhance his physical capabilities at will, a power he uses to investigate strange supernatural occurrences alongside five girls from his school.
The series balances mystery and romance with slice-of-life moments, creating an atmospheric blend of the mundane and the otherworldly. Kazamatsuri's unusual aesthetic—simultaneously rural and urban, modern yet nostalgic—provides a distinctive setting that complements the story's exploration of secrets and supernatural forces. The show concluded its run with all episodes available, making it a complete viewing experience for those interested in character-driven narratives with fantasy elements.
Note that the first episode runs approximately 48 minutes rather than the standard 24-minute length, giving the series an extended introduction to its world and cast.
Rewrite is set in the fictional city Kazamatsuri, where treeplanting and afforestation have caused the city to become overgrown with trees and flowers in much the same way that other cities are filled by buildings. However, while most of the city appears to be rural, there are many traditional city elements as well. While set in a modern setting, the city also gives off a strange sense of nostalgia. Tennouji Kotarou lives here. He's a high school student who has the ability to rewrite his own body; he can become stronger and faster at any time he chooses. He investigates supernatural mysteries with five girls from his school. (Source: VNDB) Note: The first episode aired with a runtime of 48 minutes as opposed to the standard 24 minute long episode.
