ReLIFE (Anime) add (All reviews)
Jul 27, 2016
Hey folks, this will be a review for ReLife. This show was really entertaining even with some dramatic moments. I'm sure many of us have thought about how we would live our life starting over, and it was interesting to watch someone else experience it.

The story is well summarized on the shows page, but Ill give a quick recap. Kaizaki, Arata is our main character and he is a 27 year old man whose life has had a bit of a derailment. He is offered an opportunity to take part in a study for a year where in he will relive through the third year of highschool. The show moves at a slice of life pacing, offering up a situation where Arata or one of the few side characters take part. Most of the events being semi dramatic which in general I despise, but I liked how this show handled it.

The art was nice but nothing special, same with the sound.

The characters were highly enjoyable. The cast is relatively small, mainly focusing on Arata and his 5 or so friends. I cant say much about the characters without spoilers.

I enjoyed this show a lot. It could have gone in several directions, and even though I would have been more happy with a comedy show, I still enjoyed it enough not to want to go to bed. My one and only real complaint with the show, is that they used one of Arata's friend for 2 of the larger dramatic events and made it hard to enjoy the character very much because of it. However the comedy was enjoyable, especially early on when Arata had to adjust back into highschool life. The romance element was somewhat lackluster, however if there is a second season I don't see it being a problem. I recommend this show if you like the slice of life type shows, or your into petty highschool drama with some comedy.

TLDR: Great show, semi funny, semi dramatic, enjoyable characters, and good underlying plot. Give this one a watch.
