A second chance | ReLIFE Review 💊 [EN/ES]

CONCLUSIÓN

En general este es un anime muy realista y demasiado hermoso. Toca temas como la depresión, los celos, la apatía, el miedo, la inseguridad, entre otras cosas.

Creo que es una historia que busca transmitirnos la importancia de disfrutar nuestra vida y valorar cada instante, los lugares, las personas, los momentos que vivimos.

Les mentiría si les dijera que no lloré al ver el final, porque sí. Lloré y me dio muchísimo sentimiento.

Todos luchamos con nuestros propios demonios, hasta el que menos crees tiene problemas con los que lidiar. Seamos empaticos y tratemos de ser lo más amables posible con los demás.

Relife es un joya y para mi, un anime bastante infravalorado.

Espero que les haya gustado esta reseña y que les hayan dado ganas de ver Relife. Si ya lo vieron cuéntenme que tal les pareció y si aún no lo han visto, no sé qué esperan 😅 miren que es cortito.

¡Nos leemos en los comentarios!

If you had the chance to go back to being a teenager to change your life, would you take it?

Today I'm going to tell you about Relife. An anime of only 13 episodes and 4 OVAS that I watched recently. The premise caught my attention so I decided to watch it without many expectations.

PLOT

Kaizaki Arata is a 27 year old young man who could be considered a failure because he doesn't have a job and pretends to his friends that he does. It is difficult for him to get a good job because in his previous one he only lasted 3 months and that tarnished his resume.

He was supported by his mother who sent him money, his days were spent between alcoholic drinks and cigarettes, until one day he ran into Yoake. Member of Relife Laboratories. A project that aims to give a second chance to people who for some reason or another lost their way in life. J

Yoake proposed to Kaizaki to be a Relife subject for a year. He would go back to being a 17 year old teenager, attend high school and have the opportunity to do better in order to change his life.

During that year all his expenses would be covered by the company. At the end of Relife, if successful, he would have guaranteed job offers. At the end of the year all the people he met during that period of time would forget him.

All he had to do was to take a blue pill. Yes, something like matrix 😅

MY OPINION

I actually watched it without much expectation. I was just bored wanting to see something interesting. So searching on my favourite anime site, I stumbled upon Relife.

At the beginning it's pathetic and pitiful to see Kaizaki's day to day life and the way he leads his life. And as the series goes on we realise all the mental limitations he has, and I don't mean that he is stupid, but the traumas he has, his fears and there we understand little by little the reason for his way of being, and his decisions.

I think Kaizaki is one of the most realistic characters I've seen in any other anime. It's impossible not to get attached to him and see ourselves reflected in him many times.

It's nice to see how he's progressing and creating connections with his classmates, how he's overcoming his fears?

On the other hand, although the anime is quite emotional or deep, it also has its funny moments. In fact, I laughed a lot while watching it.

OPENING Y ENDING

I find the opening beautiful, too beautiful and it perfectly captures the essence of Relife. It's called Button and it's from Penguin Research. I won't tell you much about the Endings because there are several of them. A different Ending for each chapter, but each one goes in perfect harmony with the plot of each chapter.

Below is the link to the opening subtitled in English.
