The anime presents itself with such goal in mind. All the events that are presented have such goal in mind. The message is translucent, transparent, and somehow strong. Our lives are subject to every single action, the sensation of failing is nothing but nutritive to our future goals, a learning aspect that we should all face once, and that whatever path we take will have consequences on those who are besides us. Nothing that we do will work in vacuum, and to obsess with the what ifs is unhealthy, because if we put ourselves in such situation the branches of the destiny would completely differ from our beloved dream.
It is then a question of how you present such message, such relatable perception that is strongly human, likely a fate that we all must meet once in our life. The problem is that this anime doesn’t compromise itself with anything, it leaves itself to the path of the generic trails and bastardized troupes that we have all seen before. The message is obscured by the endless competition of who is the best girl, obscured by the extremely shallow and childish exposition of those issues that the main character is meant to tackle.
The feeling that is left from this anime is that the message was interfered by those desires and delusions of what humanity could do. The main character, someone who is pretty much reasonable, psychologically human and leave a huge impression in terms of emotional tact is set in a world filled with superficial issues and lacking the action and consequence of human relations. All events are presented in a grotesque fashion, a bitter sense of delusion and ignorance of how everything works, with comedy levels of resolutions.
This lack of compromise could have been solved easily by not exposing itself to the ignorance, or to investigate better and deliver a more credible execution. Like a short circuit in a ride, the moment we are hit with the unnecessary harem undertones and the lack of knowledge get us out of the whole experience, if you are thinking while watching this, of course. The almost pathetic dialogues and exposition, the childish solutions to everything, violates the clear principle of making something believable. It is an interference.
The most frustrating aspect is that it could have been prevented by focusing itself in the relationships between the characters, to obviate the boring aspects of the show and create a setting that leaves us in a scenario full of life and humanity. The most frustrating aspect is that there is a clear lack of love and interest towards creating a beautiful setting with an insight of the frontiers of human craft, and instead shows a superficial otaku perspective to just play forward into its intended message.
Bokutachi no Remake is nothing but a watered down downright pandering anime that leaves a trail of delusion and lack of real touch, the plastic feeling mixed with the pathetic intents to appeal the lower common denominator leaves the whole message in the dark after a boring set of events that are downright absurd to watch at. Because there is nothing more boring that watching someone having constant success by doing nothing special at all.
