ReLIFE (2016) Leonhart (2/5) ReLIFe is the story of a man who is unable to find work thanks to quitting his first job 3 months in, and has been living an unfulfilling life as a NEET. He one day gets drunk and is approached to be a part of an experiment that regresses the appearance of one to that of a teenager, and allows them to live out their high school life again, in an effort to help them rediscover their happiness. Now he must blend in with high school students, helping them with their problems, while learning more about himself. The story hits a bit close to home on a certain level. Kaizaki's issues with transitioning into the corporate world mirror mine, though his turns out to be more due to trauma, rather than general unenthusiasm. Still, it's great to see him develop as a character. He goes from a jaded guy who just wants to get the experiment over with so he can get a job recommendation, uninterested in evaluating himself as a person, to a man who ends up caring deeply for his classmates, and doesn't really want it to end. The different character arcs that compound with the main story do take a bit more focus, however, since the anime ended before the manga began truly exploring Kaizaki's emotions concerning the project as a whole. It's a lot of melodrama, but it's all good melodrama. My only complaint is Kariu, who I like as a character, but she ends up being the main cause of the drama within two arcs in a row. It was great the first time, since it helped build herself and Hishiro as characters, but the volleyball arc is easily the worst part of the story, since it just redoes her development, while adding little else to the others. I haven't seen the last four episodes they released as specials, but I'm glad I decided to read the manga first, since I can't imagine how they would manage to fit all that into four episodes. I loved the show, but the manga is a completely different animal, and it would've been cool to see a true adaptation in that regard. But, I mean, the weakest part of the manga ranks 21 for me on the list, so that should tell you how much I love this story. Every character is great, and it gives some beautiful life advice within the writing. Had I read it before I'd mostly figured things out, I'd probably have loved it even more. --- http://i.imgur.com/l7xxLh1.jpg PSN/Steam - RoboQuote ; NNID - TazzyMan <cite>tazzyboyishere posted [p:900851090] in Tazzy Rank...
