| It’s a cliched one, and I was surprised that it wasn’t on your list, but you can watch ERASED (Boku Dake ga Inai Machi), since it involves traveling in time and the main hero trying to correct his mistakes from the past. As some people mentioned earlier, you can also watch Link Click (it’s a Chinese anime; though, you can look for a Japanese dub if you want) — it’s about going to the past by entering a photo. I would also recommend Summer Time Rendering, as it involves time traveling; however, in the case with Summer Time Rendering the hero doesn’t travel back to distant past — it all takes place within a several-day period. Also, some classic stuff like Steins;Gate or Madoka Magica also involve a lot of time traveling, especially the latter. |

| I've never seen Re-Life, so I can't comment on that. I have seen Erased, Steins;Gate and Puella Magi Madoka Magica, and none are similar at all to Bokutachi no Remake. This is a relatively happy and light anime, and while the other three might start that way, they change very dramatically. Erased is about a boy who can turn back time by a few minutes to change something that has happened. Usually, he does it to prevent a tragedy or accident. He ends up trying to solve and prevent his own murder at the hands of a serial killer (if I remember correctly). Steins;Gate starts off fun and very slowly. But it, too, turns into someone trying to prevent a murder. There is no "time travel" as it's normally depicted. Instead, the MC moves from one "world line" to another in an attempt to get to one where major conflict and tragedy doesn't happen. Think of it like coming to a crossroads, and you go left. When that doesn't work, you come back and go right. But instead of starting over at the fork, things on the right fork kept going when you went left before. When you jump into the timeline that is the right fork, you're jumping into an existing reality. You're not creating things new. Time kept moving on and a new "world line" was created with a new version of you. So you're stepping into that life with no knowledge of what is different and what has happened. Puella Magi Madoka Magica is not about time travel at all. It is a true telling of what magical girls really are. At least in the second half. It starts off as something fun and mostly light. Then things turn very dark. There is some "time travel" involved, but it's nothing like Bokutachi. It's a necessary element that explains how the story ended up the way it did. Now. All three of those are very good shows. Just keep in mind that they're not the lightheaded "going back in time to live my life again so I can change things to make it better" kind of shows. They're dark, tragic, and can be tough on the emotions. Especially Madoka. |
| If you liked the Arts College setting, mixed with Otaku culture and also the idea of meeting famous persons in their college years, I recommend a Dorama: Blue Blazes/ Aoi Honō / Blue Flame. It's basically some guy retelling his college years while watching Hideaki Anno and other Gainax heavy hitters as rivals. Tottally worth your while. |
