For those who read manga after watching its anime, I'd recommend watching this. However, from an anime-only viewer's perspective (myself included), this MAY not be the case. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed watching the anime.
Story: 6
The story itself was okay. The pairing of the couples and the story in general were cliché and predictable. Nothing melodramatic; in fact, the problems were realistic and relatable, making it interesting enough to watch.
It would have been more promising if the main plot was emphasized though. Sure, our main character did reLIVE his teenage life; however, I felt that the anime covered more sub-plots for
...
the supporting characters rather than finishing off our main characters' unemployment issue - what was the aftermath from reLife to both Chizuru and Arata? Unknown. Good cliffhanger to promote the manga but, if there's no sequel, the ending would just be incomplete. (And I, for one, hate half assed endings.)
Art: 7
The art was good. (Nothing to add really, I'm just personally more into a different type of animation.)
Sound: 3
Have you ever watched a horror movie muted? Not so scary anymore, huh? Sound plays a major role, believe it or not.
I love classical music/instrumentals. As someone who plays piano and 'feels the music', I have to say that the background music was baddd.... So bad it would actually kill the mood because it did not match the scene. It just gave off an awkward vibe when it wasn't even necessary. Moreover, in some parts of the anime, no background noise was performed when the setting clearly needed it.
It may not mean much to some, but the sound greatly affected my overall rating for this show.
(The OP, ED and voice actors were fine.)
Character: 7
Nothing too special but entertaining nonetheless. Character development for the supporting actors were fine, well done for Chizuru, but lacking for Arata. He learned one or two things throughout his journey, but nothing too significant to actually have an impact on him. I feel like he has not really changed from the beginning of the series. To be honest, he actually did more of the helping than getting help from.
Enjoyment: 7
As mentioned earlier, I did enjoy the anime. The comedy was light to a certain extent and although the story is fair and had slow pacing, if you were to binge watch the series like I did, I think it's a worth a try.
Overall: 6.5
As it is, the overall rating should be 6.
If a season 2 gets published, I would give this anime an overall of 7.
Since there's no info regarding a sequel release yet, my overall average is 6.5.
