| Jesus Christ, the way that the music stopped in the car scene at the end while Minato's mom got distracted with tearing up made me think they were going to crash and make Minato lose his memories again |
| My 167th completed series chronologically. For the record, I extended it a 7/10 rating. |
| Like I mentioned in my comment on the 10th episode since this is (apparently) a single cour series too much screen time was wasted on prep and character development and too little on actual competitive sports with other teams. The game with the preteens / early teens does not count, since it was a practice match. So we had 10 episodes for prep and just 2 to show us the results of that prep. So there was no way the ending could not have been rushed. Though it was rushed the last episode hid a pleasant surprise. Just like Minato's team mates were fooled I believe we viewers were all also fooled, i.e. that Minato reverted back to being mean. Yet it was another one of his feints, which finally gave the opportunity to poor Yoshiharu to shine. We finally also saw Amihama not just smile (smirk?) but laugh too, though in a creepy / menacing way. And we also saw the last of Chinu-chan who just like Minato became kinder and more selfless she decided to be a bit more selfish; Minato inspired her to change as well, but in the opposite direction. If some miracle occurs and this anime is renewed I really hope that was the last we saw of Chinu-chan. While I love her VA Lynn I hated this character of hers because she was largely redundant.. All in all it was a decent-ish effort that could have been better. I am split between rating it 6/10 or 7/10, since I believe it was worth 6.5/10 So, should I round up or down? I might decide when I post a full review and rate plot, characters, music etc individually.. |

| I have a confession to make, Minato's father looks like the beast titan and I want a second season. |
| Nice little last episode & how that 1 score meant so much more to them & was more defining than even winning. It really needed another season/more episodes. I really liked the characters & I wished it weren’t so rushed. At the end when Minato said he wondered what would that “other” Minato have written, I felt so bad for him. It’s nice that he’s beginning to manage his identity of self & his struggles, I know he seemed like such an ass but I was hoping to see more of that character development. So glad that Captain & his dad are starting to communicate more & even Amiami walking out of Momo’s shadow. Sadly there weren’t much room for the other characters to shine, I really wanted to see more of Buu & the rest. And Momo.......He’s so fine......... |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| This thing need a season 2 so bad.. Is like it just started and it ends. Good characters , chemistry and art but hold back by its length. Should have get more episodes like Free! to hold up with the story. Is like this thing is only a prologue I like the "Nice Minato" better, dissing this personality completely w.o any closure is such wasted potential. I was so hoping their memory can merge at some point and him remember the past year but nooo, wasted potential, and only the "Edgy Minato" turns a little nicer. Tbh 12 episodes is not enough to hold a twist like this and make the story flash out. |
| I need the second season right now |

| Ngl when they were all in the car I thought they were gonna have another crash. Terrible final episode. Yes, they lost but its kinda dumb when you realized this.....an INJURIED person is allowed to play and SOMEHOW can play without issues. Re-Main failed at delivering us a sport feeling, in fact, this anime made me think water polo sucks. 4/10 for the anime. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| I really liked the little scenes at the end, the daddy issue guy talking with his dad and minato talking with his sis was so cute (almost cried lmao). It was a cute lil final episode, ended like there was going to be a next season. Overall I'll give Re-Main a solid 7.5/10, it entertained me and i liked the animation, even though parts of the plot were kinda boring imo. Still liked the main idea and the vibes. The dub is pretty neat too. Wouldnt rewatch but it was still pretty good and i would watch a second season. good season finale. |

| Finished the show just now and I gotta say, I'm of the opposite opinion when it comes to the amnesia: I genuinely thought it was the best thing about this anime. I've watched a few sports anime, but when it comes to my personal taste, I like it when there's a hook outside of the sports element. With Haikyuu it was fine since that was my first one, but if all the anime in the genre copied it, it would get repetitive and boring. Re-Main managed to avoid that by putting an emphasis not entirely on the sport, but on Minato as a character and his internal conflict clashing with the world around him. The character exploration was genuinely well put together, except for a few of them that didn't get much at all (my poor Baba :( ). I hope that if ever they do pick it up for a second season that we'll get to see them fleshed out more. |
pastelfeelings said: Agreed wholeheartedly with this. As a non-existent fan of sports in real life, and not usually a big fan of sports anime either (I don't dislike most - I'm just not interested in starting watching a lot of them), I like and am definitely more pulled in by series that either feature a less commonly featured and popular sport and go for something a little more unconventional and niche (like water polo for instance, as in Re-Main) just because it's an opportunity to get to see something you don't usually see showcased and possibly learn some interesting things about it, or do something more varied and complex with their characters/character development, or both. I watched Re-Main for the former, but the latter was a reveal and pleasant surprise which only came later on.

| Yes!! Team work is important! We got a lilbit of drama, but "happy" end.. I am not the type who likes BL or muscle type anime.. But this anime kinda rare and interest me.. Just hoppin this anime can shine like Slam Dunk and have the same lenght of episode (50++) to make it full journey on sport anime |
