ReLIFE: Kanketsu-hen Specials

I adore the characters of ReLIFE, so any other content with them in it is something I’ll for sure watch. These two specials were short, but funny and enjoyable. I’d recommend giving them 5 minutes if you are a fan of ReLIFE! Definitely nice to see the loveable characters again.

Story - 10
Funny story that makes sense with the characters. Obviously not much can be done in 4 minutes, but it does relate well enough to the main cast, and gives us a look into Ryo and An’s point of view, which I really liked.

Art - 10
I’ve always loved the art style, it’s the exact ... same as in the original anime. It is quite small to watch since each special is presented on half the screen, but this isn’t an issue.

Sound - 10
I liked the cute little sound before each special began! That was pretty much the only use of sound.

Characters - 9
Wish we could have seen Chizuru!! But I love the other characters! You see pretty much everyone else, so it is still worth watching.

Enjoyment - 9
Wish it could have been a little longer. The “story” for each short was still complete, but I just wanted more content with these characters haha.

Overall - 9
Short, sweet and cute!

Exactly what I want from a special. Not events completely unrelated to the anime, or boring plots. Just an extra fun time with the characters.

This is a short, 4 minutes long special for Re Life anime that contains 2 stories.

The first story centers around a hidden camera. The main Re Life employee duo is spying on Kaizaki's daily life as a high school boy. This one is pretty funny because Kaizaki is really acting his "supposed" age in it. There is also bunch of birds that confirm the video feed is live in a rather comical manner. Overall it's pretty fresh.

The second one centers around a face cam/video phone call where Arata has a chat with Ooga who is hanging out with Kariu and awkwardly asking advice regarding ... what he is supposed to do on a date. Kariu spots his lame phone call, the screen turns black and we get some hilarious couple interactions going on in the background in the form of dialogue. Hella cute.

This entire thing is executed with smart phones and smart phone screens. There is literally just 2 phones on the screen the entire time, the first story plays from the other and second from another like they are vertical videos. Creativity and low budget I guess, but it end up being quite memorable.

I quite enjoyed watching this because it was a warm, wholesome experience and I like the characters and the original manga. Recommended.
