ReLife - Review


What happens when you get a second chance for entering high school? What will you do if you are given a chance to reduce your age by 10 for a year? Well thats what this anime is about. With just 13 episodes and a different manga style , Relife has been one of the most famous anime for its slice of life and school life. With not much serious plot and some comedy around , you will find it fun and get attached to this anime very fast.

 Story
A guy (28 years old) , jobless NEET , gets a proposal for participating in an experiment conducted by The ReLife Lab with the agreement of giving him a job next year and pays him for his expenses till that , but in the cost of reducing his age by 10 and attending a high school for a year , and after he finishes that year , the memories of him in his classmates and his friends will be forgotten. He , when returning home drunk , accepts this proposal and takes the pill which reduces his age (The famous blue-white capsule). He wakes up and panics after seeing his beard missing and looking younger. Then a guy comes in as his supporter (stalker) who proposed the experiment , helps him to go to school. He finds himself having trouble to communicate properly and his tragic past (the reason he was a NEET) keeps strangling him. And he tries his best to avoid getting too emotionally attached to the students so that he wont feel sad after the time period is over.

 Animation&Sound
The animation was pretty normal and nothing special was in it. The soundtrack was very good and the OP was good too. But every episode had different ending songs which was fun hearing them and not skipping them. Beware , the ending songs lowers in half and the episode continues most of the time , so dont skip them or do it carefully.

 Characters
The characters can be seen in any high school anime , love-struck tsundere, airhead good-in-studies-only guy, airhead good-in-studies-only girl , etc etc. You will get to love them and know more about them since each character has somewhat sad past to get to know.

 Overall
Fun , happy anime will bring you back to your high school memories (whether good or bad memories depends upon you lol) and feel like you want to take the pill too. This anime will teach you that to not to care about the future and live the present. But is that how an adult should be?

 About the manga & season 2
The first season covers 108 manga chapters and they are somewhat short but continues the story. I would recommend you read the manga because it doesn't seem like a season 2 will be coming on 2017 or at the least in 2018 . So it can be expected in 2019 when they will have 250+ chapters, hopefully....

March comes in like a lion : Review

Image
March comes in like a lion is pretty good from all the angles. A light-warmed comedy with awesome animation (shafting) , this anime aims for more matured people. This anime , like really , it took for them 2 weeks to produce 11th episode. They might have some problems but yeah , this anime is airing for a long time now. Animation and Sound Before watching this anime , i didn't expect good animations from this , but the animation level has crossed my expectations so high. The mix of 2-D and 3-D animation was so good(Shafting). They did the indoor backgrounds using some 3-D softwares but it looks almost like 2-D so that we can get that anime feel. And some indoor and all the outdoor backgrounds were done by drawing. It was not that good but they managed to pull it off by adding some filters like water reflections and lightings. And all the vehicles were 3-D too (of course). The sound was good but not at its best. The animation style is unique. Story The story goes ar...

Cheating Craft : Review

Image
Cheating Craft *This review is based on the first five episodes , will be updated later hopefully* With a fancy title , cheating craft has attracted a lot of people to watch it.  This anime is all about the gags which is average and not that funny but if you are expecting a serious growing story plot , you may not get it. Basically in each episodes they have exams on different terrains such as in airplanes, oceans , etc. And dont expect this anime to be realistic since its not. Suddenly a terrain appears, writing exams in -200°C , and more. By far from watching the first 5 episodes , i honestly think this is kinda good. Just for the comedy and well.....action , you can watch this. And dont expect realistic cheating ways which you can use in real life.... haha. Each episodes are 12 min each which is a drawback. And they constantly use chibis here and there which i think its ok. And there seems to be a reason why the main protagonist,  Momei  joined the most...

Nyan koi! - Review Nyan koi! A comedic romantic? Or haremic anime filled with cats. With a humor suitable for all ages , I would definitely recommend this to everyone, but , unfortunately there won't be a season 2 . Read the last section to know why. Lets talk about the anime first. Non-echii fan services , check. Tsundere moments , check. Comedy, check. Story A boy randomly moves around and kicks a can which accidentally hits a cat statue and breaks it. So the boy gets cursed. The curse is , you will turn into a cat if you don't admire and help cats . Also you can understand what cats say. And if someone else comes to know about this curse , the curse will fasted and the other person will get cursed too. So the main protagonist goes around fulfilling requests given by cats. Heard this kind of story somewhere , yeah me too but i just cant remember. Animation For a 2009 anime , nat bad , yeah , not bad *applause*. Good colors , backgrounds were well done. Well done AIC ...
