Synopsis

Dismissed as a hopeless loser by those around him, 27-year-old Arata Kaizaki bounces around from one job to another after quitting his first company. His unremarkable existence takes a sharp turn when he meets Ryou Yoake, a member of the ReLife Research Institute, who offers Arata the opportunity to change his life for the better with the help of a mysterious pill. Taking it without a second thought, Arata awakens the next day to find that his appearance has reverted to that of a 17-year-old. Arata soon learns that he is now the subject of a unique experiment and must attend high school as a transfer student for one year. Though he initially believes it will be a cinch due to his superior life experience, Arata is proven horribly wrong on his first day: he flunks all his tests, is completely out of shape, and can't keep up with the new school policies that have cropped up in the last 10 years. Furthermore, Ryou has been assigned to observe him, bringing Arata endless annoyance. ReLIFE follows Arata's struggle to adjust to his hectic new lifestyle and avoid repeating his past mistakes, all while slowly discovering more about his fellow classmates.

This anime has been on my plan to watch list a very long time, why you may ask? Because I didn't think it would be my type of tea when I read the synopsis, but I was far from right. STORY. The story is pretty straightforward and simple, we have a 27 years old male by the name of Kaizaki Arata, he didn't really live his life the way he wanted and it was occasionally going down hill for him. But his life changed when Kaizaki Arata met a 27 years old male by the name of Yoake Ryou that was working for the ReLIFE Research Institute and offered him the opportunity to live as a high school student again for one year, all he had to do was take a pill and it would begin. Then, he started high school and tried to enjoy it to the fullest, perhaps even fall in love with someone. I'm pretty sure this kind of plot has been used a lot of times before, nonetheless this is the first time I watched this kind of a plot and for me, it was a interesting experience that's why it got a solid eight for me. However there's one thing I disliked about the story and i'm pretty sure you would also notice it, when you watch some episodes it starts to feel like they are focusing on the wrong characters but that's just merely my opinion, plus the drama was very poorly done it almost felt like it was forced. ART. There's really nothing special with the art, it's simple and easy. For many people it might be a nuisance but it's good enough for me. SOUND. In my opinion the opining was great, same goes for all the different music endings they had. But background music and sounds were really not the best i've heard, sometimes it doesn't make any sense and sometimes it can be quite annoying. There's a lot then I mean A LOT of piano sounds/music so, if you like that then you're in luck, I suppose. CHARACTERS: The characters are very easy to understand but quite lovable too. But what was a little poor was that it was easy and predictable to understand whom is gonna end up with whom, but I assume that what TMS Entertainment was aiming for. So in my opinion, the characters aren't really anything special nor interesting, those who I found interesting was Hishiro Chizuru and Onoya An, although we didn't get to know more about Onoya An so that was unfortunate. Did I enjoy this anime? Yes a lot. Do I recommend it? For those who wants to watch a high school romance, drama anime. But I wouldn't say that the drama is good in this anime unfortunately. I got some Kimi no Na wa vibes in the seacond season that has four episodes. Overall: For me this anime gets a 9.5/10 Thanks for reading, I hope you found it helpful!
