Trivia / Rewrite

• April Fools' Day: A Real Life example where Key first announced the project on April 1, 2008.
• Bad Export for You: Despite years of delays, the English release of Rewrite+ has all the makings of a rushed localization. In addition to suffering badly from "Blind Idiot" Translation, including Shizuru's name being rendered as "Sizuru" and several CGs being inexplicably censored, it effectively launched as an Obvious Beta, to the point where not only was the game riddled with Game Breaking Bugs, but it was impossible to get 100% Completion due to one. Several patches were implemented to address the issues, all the way to late January 2022, at which point the game had been handed off to a new translation team to fix most of the game's typos (but not other translation issues).
• No Export for You: The anime isn't released in home video yet in North America despite the fact that Aniplex is involved in the production (most likely due to low sales in Japan).
• Schedule Slip: The localization of Rewrite+ and Rewrite Harvest festa! was originally announced at Anime Expo 2017. A Kickstarter for additional funding needed for the project was launched and completed in October/November 2019 with a slated release date of November 2020. It finally released on December 17th of 2021, albeit in a rather shoddy state initially.
• Updated Re-release: Rewrite+ features improvements and revisions to scenarios and adds new CG.
