The plot revolves around Amami Hibiki, a transfer student who mysteriously has the ability to see and interact with ghosts. Now, as per traditional Japanese beliefs, these ghosts are figures known as Yurei, spirits living in a peaceful afterlife which are known to protect and bring good luck to the living family members. Being totally friendly and even playful at times, the ghosts cause a lot of lighthearted commotion to the lives of Amami and her friends. In fact, they run into these ghosts quite often, be it at a ceremonial tombstone on the way to school or at the beach on a hot summer day.
The characters are all quite lovable, and there really isn't an antagonist by definition in the anime as one of the ongoing themes is simply learning to get along with "others". All the person to person and person to ghost conflicts are quite short lived. However, I must mention that the personalities we see have a limited amount of depth, and as of right now, we rarely, if at all, see introductions of new, radical characters that drive the plot forwards.
Additionally, as creative as Re-Kan is, there are shortcomings with the story. As of right now, the plot doesn't have a lot of depth, and other than the fact that the ghosts will deliberately spook people out (especially Amami's friend Inoue), there's a lack of conflict. Dramatic scenes and cliffhangers? No, we likely won't see those. I believe that the first episode will give you a good sense of the mood of the series and what the sequential episodes will be like.
As for the visual aspects of Re-Kan, the art, first of all, is very poor and inconsistent, and isn't considered by any means stellar by today's standards. That being said, the art does contribute to the light mood of the story, so essentially we can't say that art is that bad.
The other thing to mention in terms of Visuals are the OPs and EDs. They're not a treat to the eyes, but we do have to give every♥ing! credit for good theme song performances, as "Colourful Story" (OP) and "Kesalan Patharan" (ED) are two of their first singles. As for the rest of the audio, the BGM is alright, but one thing that you will notice upon watching is that except for Amami (since she just transferred to the school), all the characters speak with a strong Kansai dialect, which may not be what you are used to hearing. Most Japanese don't speak with a Kansai-ben.
To sum up, tuning into Re-kan this season for a breather is a good idea, especially if you've just watched something with a deeper plot, such as Plastic Memories.
I hope that you have found this review to be of help.
