Holy fuck, so his senpai he tried to stand up for at work ended up killing herself.

He got so much shit for quitting his job and not staying long enough to see if he had a chance to succeed, but can you even fucking blame him at this point? The one person who invested in him and was mentoring him got harassed and killed herself because she was better than the other scrubs. I wouldn't want to "wait it out and give it a chance" either.

Also, hopefully we can be done focusing on Kariu now. She's such a shitty character that every episode revolving around her is just a cringe fest.

I find it kind of ridiculous that they would go grab kariu then walk slowly as she limps all the way back just in time to hear their conversation, like what did they do just pause for 10-15 min while they went to go get her?

I'm still really enjoying this show so far though.
I don't hate Kariu in fact I rather like her character, she's being a little self absorbed lately not paying attention or realizing how her friend might feel, and lets face it many teenage girls are like that. Girl friendships tend to be more fickle than guys and especially in high school there is a tendency to not want to talk about your problems as we see Honaka is afraid to talk to Kariu and avoids her only making things worse.

High school is a period of life when we are all still learning how to interact with each other, now of course loners like Hishiro have it the worst but that doesn't mean the others have issues too. Kairu is a very competitive person and jealousy plays into that perfectly, and I can understand how it is to feel so inferior to someone else especially your friends.

This. Exactly my thoughts. This part was kinda ridiculous.

And please, Kariu. Get fucking over it and stop being such a bitch. Same goes for Inukai and his obsessive/edgy/blank character. These two are the only characters that I really hate in this show.

Other than that, it was very dark knowing more of Kaizaki senpai's past :(

Yea I find it refreshing that Kaizaki isn't just a Neet because he just is some loner weaboo, he finished college and successfully got a job but got fucked up by the system and the way things were.

Nice for Kaizaki to finally being proactive, and it was brilliant scene when he embraced Hishiro. Could it be... his forme boss is... I guess Hishiro has mole on the neck and the boss didn't (although that could be hidden under necklace) but there are many other similiarities. Is it just coincidence?
But they would certainly recognize each other, right?

Can't wait to see resolution of this arc.

Hishiro's comments to Kaizaki are surprisingly insightful. Maybe her emotional intelligence is beginning to blossom. We get a glimpse of Kaizaki's dark past. He might be feeling responsible for whatever happened to his senpai.

But the other takeaway from the revelation about Kaizaki's past is that Kaizaki was not originally destined to end up a NEET. It wasn't due to a lazy nature, failure to adjust to society, a personality disorder, or any of the other problems that the phenomenon is typically attributed to. It was because he had a traumatic experience that crippled his self-esteem and caused him to withdraw from the world. In other words, it's "not fair" that Kaizaki has become a NEET.

This feels to me like a cop-out. The manga writers seem to intend for Kaizaki to transform from NEET to upstanding citizen. But by giving him a sympathetic backstory, devoid of the typical mental history or dependance issues, it's as if the writers didn't think they could pull off such a transformation. So far, I find this anime to be compelling and classic, but it would be a little better if Kaizaki was predisposed to being a shut-in. Then the happy ending--in which Kaizaki learns to be a functioning member of society--would have more impact. (I'm assuming Kaizaki is headed for a happy ending. I haven't read the manga.)

Interesting that apparently Arata had a suicidal friend that looked like Chizuru. I can see him projecting his friend on her and will care and love her unlike when he failed before.

Agreed. It had a good start, but now it's sooooo boring. I hope it gets better towards the end (and that it focuses on the MC and his story again).

Arata and Hishiro are the saving graces of this show and they don't get enough screentime for supposedly main characters. The drama between Kariu and Honoka is just completely ridiculous and nonsensical at this point as several people have pointed out above. It's a shame as this series really showed moments of promise and has a great premise, but it's been dragged down by focusing on bad anime school drama bullshit.

So they just stopped talking when that guy went to pick up Kariu; who somehow managed to keep up with his pace; that makes no sense.

And why is Kaizaki even there, they only met once before, while Hishiro is a friend.

Kaizuki continuing to freak out every time he gets close to/alone with a girl is getting tiring too.

It seems that Kaizaki's senpai had committed suicide.

Kariu and Honoka's drama is very bad. I just hope it's over. Also, Honoka's childhood friend sucks.

This is the wrong day to leave Oga and Kairu behind together, Kaizaki!

That is some dark memories to have... Seeing a co-worker committing suicide. No wonder Kaizaki is sensitive towards these topics. On the bright side at least Hishiro visit his home and he accidentally hugged her for comfort. That was adorable. And now... time to settle things once and for all. Let all the members related to this drama see the truth!

why is this series focusing SO MUCH on kariu on her lame drama?????? i don't see how her problems are relevant to the premise at all

oga best boy! he's so kind & sweet

didn't appreciate the shift in tone to a comedic one when kaizaki hugged hishiro, he was being so vulnerable & that was a distressing memory i wish they didn't brush that moment off like that. bad writing.

this episode's ED was great!

I understand why the series focuses on Kairu drama, a story is needed to follow ReLIFE's mission to bring back some emotion from the person taking it, but this surely isn't the only route to take.

Meh episode, that hug from Kaizaki was nice even if it was subconscious. Hishiro fight on!

Rough for Kaizaki this episode as he remembers about his senpai from work while conversing with Hishiro on how to rectify Kariu and Tamarai's friendship with each other, and especially regarding her suicide since she was pushed over the edge by her other colleagues and despite Kaizaki trying to stand up for her, it went in vain in the end. The hug he threw at Hishiro while envisioning his senpai was tough to watch, but in the end, both are willing to fight together to fix the whole thing.

The visuals and the actual drama surrounding Kariu and Tamarai was average at best in the anime (and take up too much runtime as usual), but the storytelling with Kaizaki reflecting on his past and Hishiro trying to continually grow herself in her own journey were easily the highlights of this episode.

Yes! A lot more Hishiro today! I enjoy her awkward social skills and near robotic mindset. Definitely the most entertaining girl IMO. Good guy Kaizaki leaves Kariu and Oga alone, definitely a good wing man.

I don't feel bad for Kariu at all with the way she acts and her self-pity. Definitely the cunt of the season thus far.

We get to know more about Kaizaki's past before the ReLife project. It seems pretty tragic with the way he is acting. It was quite sad when he had a brief mental breakdown by hugging Hishiro and apologizing to her after re-hashing his past mistakes.

That Onoya text to Kaizaki about Hishiro and him being alone was great while she and Yoake listens on the other side.

I almost thought Akira, one of Honoka's friend and voice of Sasuke Uchiha, was seriously going to hit Kariu with a Chidori for being a stubborn jerk. I realized I'm in the wrong series and was sadden to see that Kariu won't get Uchiha'd.

Kaizaki x Hishiro, I ship the hell out of that.

4/5


I'm so happy I'm not the only person who dislikes her character. My goodness. She is ANNOYING. I can't say she's a good person at all because she's only good to others when things are going her way. From the time sometimes happens, she's a Witch with a b to everyone. It's annoying. What's made worse is she knows how shitty she is and won't even try to change. Everyone has to constantly run after her.

The drama around Rena is ruining the show a little bit for me. I really like the idea and concept of this anime, but I wish they would focus on the problems of the projects/NEETs more, instead of gettting your every day romance/school drama of normal highschooler, we have many other animes focusing on that already. It's not bad, but I thought it's really a show where people with a pretty depressed/bad life, gets a huge chance to change themselves and try to overcome their problems which held them in a "prison" for years and imo it lost the focus of it quite a lot now. Score dropped 1 point to a 7/10 for now, let's see how it will end.
