Good episode. Like the colourful cast so far, with a bit of realism when an adult is dragged back into high school. Beginning parts felt a bit rushed but it got better.

I'm surprised that the whole series was released in one day! anyways; nice beginning, looks pretty decent for a slice of life anime. now: I wonder if I should watch the rest episodes in on-go...

Since I'm balancing a lot of Anime and non-Anime series, it might take me a while to finish all of ReLife's episodes.

Based on the first episode, what I can say is that I don't like the OP, it's too early 2000ish late 90s.

The comedy is pretty mild but it's still funny at some parts. I noticed that their uniform has a black band or something on the left sleeve. At first I thought only class reps had it but they all have it.

My favorite part was getting caught with the cigarettes. I'm also turning 28 this year like the MC in this series but the difference is I've been working since I was 19 years old so I don't relate to his struggle much. I'm guessing other than him and that other guy, there might be others in that school who were also hired by ReLife.

I'm going to try and watch as many of the succeeding episodes as much as I can. Is it normal for a series to be released as a complete batch? Has this happened with other series before?

That is unbelievable; all episodes are already out? Never seen something like that... ^^

However, the first episode impressed me. Having seen it, I have the thought that it can be a very interesting story. And I still like Arata. ^^ Let's hope for the best.

Not bad. I like how chill he was in the cigarette scene.

And the scene with his teacher, who is younger than him, was nice.

Was a good start, not perfect but not bad either.
Hope the other episodes are quite similar in terms of entertainment.
Oh and I can't help feeling that that other transfer student is an adult as well. Just some intuition, might be far off here, or maybe it's what the director wants me to think but yeah, I get some kind of feeling here.

7/10 I guess. As a manga fan (since Jan 19, 2015) who's up to date.

On-Time-Watch-Reaction | The art IMO is kind of lazy compared to the manga where it's constant and not bland in the distance, it doesn't look as HQ as the manga.
Arata's voice I imagined would be close to this kind of handsome voice but a little less high and a little more rough or slightly mature in a assertive way.

... Surprisingly they skipped the whole conversation of the pill and Arata not being sure of wanting it. It killed off the surprise of the story and it's beginning already. Because they used it as flashbacks to explain it but ... too fast paced for me. Killed the whole opening of the story IMO.

The Opening is lame. Doesn't feel like ReLIFE.
... The art is too light for ReLIFE's HQ mature art IMO. So much that their design is off in accuracy of their looks.
Yoake's voice is kind of what I expected. But less ... normal, and more high spirited in voice than I imagined. Yoake's serious tone is great which I didn't expect because that isn't the voice or tone I imagined. I saw it more scary in the manga.
Although Arata's more serious/honest or pissed side is pretty much what I imagined. The comedy in the anime is too goofy to how the manga felt like. ... The teacher is close to what I imagined. Hishiro's voice I imagined a softer higher voice. The scenes are cut off and fast paced without any focus or intense feeling of Arata's inside thoughts which is disappointing. Kariu's voice sounds about right. Oga not the voice I imagined. I expected more of a spirited kind voice and not this goofy one. Damn Ona is completely not what I imagined. A total dumb voice. I imagined a mature young lady voice.
On second though of hearing more: voice-wise Arata has his moments that feel right as I said. Kariu to some extent. Oga now does as well. An had hers as well on her second line.

The dramatic moments of his past trauma is pretty well done. ... The ED is too light as well.

... Conclusion to my Opinion as a manga fan.
Way too fast paced. A lot of in depth moments of Arata's inside thoughts or insecurity/flashbacks were lost. A lot of the voices weren't what I imagined but some close to some extent. The mood of comedy isn't what I felt ReLIFE has in the manga. Although it does have a few moments. The art is really disappointing but whatever. The Opening and Ending song doesn't feel like ReLIFE to me either.
Some characters (An especially & Yoake a little felt off at first) but anyway, I'll see the rest.

Basically. It was disappointing but I enjoyed it.

Oh hm. I was under the impression that he would actually go back in time and go to the same high school with same classmates and 'fix' stuff he messed up on before. Like Erased.

Now, it's a bit...Uninteresting tbh. It's just like...A typical high school show. Well, it's too early for me to judge so I'll refrain from saying anything else. Comedy is nice.

Ono Kensho + KimRyo combo is really nice to listen to. Props to them.

I want to see a teacher romance so bad I mean he's actually closer to her age mentally and then after a year I guess the pills effect will wear off so he's back to his age again so go for her instead.

Nice first episode for me as an anime-only viewer, kek love how Arata displays his old man mannerisms in class especially that cig in class is a no no for a highschool stud and that attempt to hit that homeroom adviser after class is just topkek, anyway looks like there's so many characters to look forward to and that subject no. 001, I really do hope it's not what I think it is.

Really fun 1st episode. I like that this show will appeal to people of varying ages, but for different reasons. As a person who graduated high school a LONG time ago, it's really cool seeing the MC suddenly appear in a situation that was once familiar and now is anything but. I imagine experiencing high school (or any other period from one's childhood) would be an fascinating experience and that it would probably not turn out as one might expect!!!

An intriguing premise (one that I cannot hope but to somewhat relate to). The cast seems rather excellent as well. This ranks as one of my most anticipated shows this season, so I will go ahead and marathon the thirteen episodes as soon as possible. Or rather, if I have finished, I will properly get down to choosing my picks for this season.

If only a single pill were a sufficient of a solution to all one's problems in real life...

I really like the concept this show has. As someone who had a horrible time in high school thanks to bullying, lack of self confidence and immaturity, this is something that really strikes a chord with me.

The start itself was decent. It was entertaining in some parts, in others I found it kind of boring. The character designs are pretty basic, nothing has really stood out to me, save for the girl with glasses. I do like the teacher though, I'd love to see the MC start a relationship with her. It's likely too, because starting a relationship with a high schooler at 27 would be considered creepy.

I did like the MC, at least he's got some personality. I enjoy the culture shock he has too. Looking forward to seeing more.

lol "4th seat, window row." They know theyre following cliche.

The pilot looked promising. A relatable MC (he and I are about the same age and in similar life situations), the characters look interesting and realistic, the show is easy to follow and it's not confusing like some similar shows I've seen... I'm definitely watching more of this.

Didn't read manga but obviously very rushed, barely explored his neet life & even skipped straight to being young & in hs suddenly. Art ok. Saved by so many good seiyuus, and mc's monologues are funny & he got so many embarassing moments make me not want to remember hs.
Looks like a youth pill but doesn't turn back time, from the mom conversations. Will he get "choked" too if he mentions his secret situation lol? Or that a ptsd thing he has.
