Hishiro in that maid outfit looks adorable.
For this episode, I find their character chemistry charming despite some awkward moments between them.

Taking place at the festival, it gave chances for them to enjoy themselves. Felt like this episode was pretty much building towards the final two OVAs.

The talk about the experiment was important to note especially since the tests subjects will forget their memories.

All the girls looked so adorable in their maid outfits. <3

Was nice of the teacher to encourage Kaizaki and Chizuru to go on a little outing. :)

I felt sad for Kaizaki when he asked Yoake if he could continue growing older with the others. However, it was real nice of Yoake to tell Kaizaki to not give up on the person he was and at the very least they could share drinks at a bar and reminisce about the experiment after their back to their old selves.

The fact that Chizuru and Kaizai won't remember each other but remember everything else about the experiment is a really sad outcome.

The class photo at the end was full of bittersweet emotions. :(
I really liked the ED.

The near-ending part (the class picture) kinda looks like it's original in the OVA though. But that last shot was quite profound. Hah.

Also, I quite didn't enjoy this episode I think that they have changed few things here and there but also they've rushed it so quickly.
If I've to say then I'm quite disappointed in this episode.

This is so rushed I can barely enjoy it.
They are skipping too many scenes, and even whole arcs!! WTF!?

Why did they do this to ReLIFE?

2 OVA school festival all the girls look adorable in their uniforms, the boys also wwre looking cool with theirs.

The news about them forgetting even the experiment subjects is an important state, with this they'll basically forget about each other even if they start to go out.

That photo was sweer but sad at the same time, first the classmates disappear then the closest friends too and last the one they love, the ED was so beautiful. Two more OVAS next one the date can't wait more.

Wow, they basically merged multiple arcs/scenes together and skipped several as well. Meh, I enjoy the characters enough not to let it bother me too much but doesn't stop me from wishing this was a full cour instead.

Well the end is near for both Hishiro and Kaizaki. Its just a sad one thinking that they will not be remembered by their classmates and even friends once the experiment is over.

If I have to describe that last scene (Arata & Chizuru looking at each other). The fire that comes forth when you are experiencing passion… that desire makes life irresistible to you and makes you absolutely irresistible to others!

Watching this episode my head was screaming kurosetsuji, though when I decided to jogmy memory they looked nothing alike...
Yet looking at this again, it's become a recurring theme in my head of him being black butler. I'll just keep him as a junior

Yes, there's a video of Mother's Basement about how well done is the adaptation of Spice and Wolf anime from the novel. This second part of ReLIFE would be the exact opposite.

I mean, it's great to have the adaptation and conclusion of the animated version, but most of the charm that the manga have is lost in all this rush. It is a pity that a second season of 13 episodes wasn't possible.

LMAO at Arata taking counseling.
Nobu, you baka. You're suppose to look at Honoka too if you want this relationship to end in a 3some.

I wasn't expecting to hear YUI in an anime again. Relife really is Relife.

Nice moment when she grabbed his hand. And I'm pretty much convinced they know about each other by now but have no way to be sure.

And the project can go to hell when they erase memories like that... honestly, it would be much better if they just disappeared, no need to erase memories like that. But the fakt that Hijiro forgets about Arata is probably the worst.. I really hope they let them go without memory erase for taking that away from them would make everything they went through be in wane. You undergo this highschool rehabilitation and suddenly the person you cared the most during this rehabilitation is gone, this is honestly messed up (not to mention it doesn't even make sense to be this discreet when they would still be unable to recognize each other 10 years old ... and without address good luck finding each other in whole Japan)

No mather how poor this rushed adaptation is of the later half, I love the series so much to the point that watching episode this long after I finished the manga and started the OVAs...
I just love this too much, it feels nice to relive such an endearing show.
I m glad I waited and stopped watching the OVA, definitly best move, since the feels are all coming back to me, lovely rushed episode.

Nothing beats Hishiro reactions.
Feels too, next episode will make my heart melt.

Damn those glasses fits absolutely perfectly with Hishiro in her maid outfit! So cute!

Yoake attempting to lift Kaizaki's mood by saying that he'll always remember him and may even ask him out for a few drinks together was so sweet! There's nothing wrong for the staff to care about their assigned subjects. An crying over the fact that the subjects may also lose their memories of each other is justifiable to my eyes because in reality... It really is depressing. The fact that the people you've shared moments of your life with would forget about you is just incredibly sad. Ahhh the feels...

Can you imagine how irritated the photographer was when he saw the photo and two people were looking at each other instead of the camera? Then, out of nowhere, some weird people from a lab come asking to doctor that photo?

I do get why Arata is feeling like this, like Ryou, and An they tell him that they will erase everyone's memories with him, it's obvious that he won't feel motivated, even if he succeeds when he comes back to adulthood he will be alone anyways. Why they wouldn't reveal that they both are test subjects??? C'monnn

And that scene with Ooga, i do hope they will go to uni together.

Kawaii Hishiro. Maid Hishiro is certainly loveable.

All that talk about the ReLIFE and how they will forget everything is pretty deep. But I didn't expect two test subjects to forget each other, wth lol.

That ending with Hishiro and Kaizaki stare. Damn, if only they were told.

This is the first episode that I'm rewatching, where I'm ahead with the reread of the manga and I have to say, the amount of rushed and skipped material, and altered stuff is quite a lot to take in. Compared to the manga, this would be a really poor episode since a lot of the subtle characterization that ReLIFE's manga did such a great job in building overtime was lost here, especially with Hishiro and Kaizaki trying to not only realize and accept their feelings, but try and adapt to the nature of the inevitable. Here, the journey feels a lot less satisfying and well-crafted.

But when I look at it from an anime-only lens, it was fine. Still definitely rushed and not perfect by any means necessary but it was still enjoyable to watch and the ending with them standing on opposite sides in the class photo while staring at each other was really sweet not gonna lie, even if annoying for now for the photographer lol.

At least the ReLIFE EDs are still the shit, love the YUI choice so much.

Oh man, it's so sad to see this anime finally nearing its end. It would also be so sad to see Chizuru and Kaizaki split up and the two of them split and and be forgotten by the class and everyone else they meet like Kariu, Oga (the great guy), Tamarai, and others! It just makes me sad and I want to cry...

I actually didn't realize that they would forget each other even if both are subjects.

Ahhhhh I wish it wouldn't focus so much on those two but include Ooga and the others. I hated how far away they were in the photo. If Kaizaki was right next to him and maybe the other 2 guys and same for the girls, then it would have been better for the future, like them questioning why there's such a big space between themselves and the next person. I really want them to remember each other and Im not talking about just Kaizaki and Hishiro.

Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones!

Man, I thought the exact opposite would happen - that everyone would forget about Kaizaki and Hishiro but they'd still remember everything about each other. Gonna hope something is still possible for the two of them.

Was also cool to see a more sensitive side to An other than her constant bubblyness
