I came upon this show a few years ago after reading a short article in a very popular magazine. I finally finished watching it and thought I'd write a short review about it.

Story:
We have an unnamed lead character whose life is in complete shambles, yet still believes that he can get himself in order. He gets the opportunity to do so at the end of each episode when it "resets" and he gets to reinvent himself. This reminded me of Bill Murray in "Groundhog Day", or if you'd like, how Kenny used to die in every episode of "South Park" and no one had any recollection of it in the following episode.

Art:
The art style is quite different from what I'm used to, but great nonetheless. The characters and scenery aren't as detailed as most shows, but this helps with the humor and tone of the story.

Character:
While watching the first few episodes you might not see any development regarding the characters, but this changes towards the end. Everyone seems completely random with no particular purpose to serve, but you slowly begin to realize how they all help each other mature. You begin to love every character's quirk and even look forward to the next predicament they're faced with.

Enjoyment:
This show might not be everyone's cup of tea. At first, the randomness of the story was a bit too much for me, but I'm glad I stuck with it. Everything ties together towards the end and you get to take your own life lesson from it. In my case, it's that in real life you won't get to re-live a moment and take a chance you passed up on. Do what makes you happy, no matter how boring or stupid it may seem to others.
