| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- It may be graduation and end of high school but their lives are just beginning. This OVA finale pretty much concludes the main story as the ReLife experiment ends. I have to admit, I got a little emotional during some of the moments like the part when Hoshiro and Kaizaki hugged. We also see the aftermath of the experiment and they remembered! What a journey this has been. Glad to see this anime giving it a proper sendoff. |
 |
| No explanation on how memories got erased, was a heartwarming ending though. The OVA felt like they rushed it all up but it was still a fine watch and I'm glad they did give a conclusion to the story between the two. |
| This was so rushed that it hurts... |
| I actually was fine with them rushing everything but when they swapped the ending from the original one it kinda felt unsatisfying? If they rushed everything and delivered the same ending in the same way - i think everyone would be okey with it. |
| Yeah. The rushed ending really ruined the impact that it had in the manga. So much better there. But it was OK. Better than nothing. This really just needed to be a season 2 to cover everything. These episodes cut so much stuff that for anime only viewers some things won't even make sense or have no impact at all. Oh well. Still worth the watch and I really do like the series. |

| i'm kinda disappointed.... it felt so rushed.......... im a little sad but i mean it was good but lacking, i need to finish the manga and then i will be happier. |
| The hug at the end of graduation was so sad. :( I'm glad that both Kaizaki and Chizuru chose to work for ReLife and that they were able to meet again and eventually remember each other. :) Overall, yeah these 4 episodes were a little rushed especially this final one but they weren't bad at all. If the manga continues after this, can someone point me to which chapter it continues at? 8/10, I still liked it despite the rushing. |

But I would recommend you read the last four chapters to see a much better finale. The last two chapters weren't really covered. |

Season one ended at roughly chapter 110. |

| Except post credit scenes with Kaizaki and Hishiro regaining their memories and some occasional nice moments,I didn't like this at all. Compared to the emotions I had while reading the manga this was way too lackluster. Can't bring myself to rate this higher than 4/10 tbh. I think every fan of this anime should read the manga. |

| Any other manga readers really like the OVAs? I'm actually glad that they chose to gloss over certain arcs and skipped to the most important stuff. Even though Hishiro's arc and Ohga's arc gave them important character development, the way they were handled in the manga felt really too dramatic at times. I actually breathed a sigh of relief seeing Kaizaki brush it off when Hishiro went to straighten his tie instead of going into PTSD mode. Also when Ohga straight up told the 2 about his shut-in brother. Surely I cant be the only one who didnt enjoy the drama despite how justified it was? I also felt the ending is still as impactful even with the absence of the character development from those arcs. Honestly, given how they only have 4 episodes to conclude the story, the way they adapted this was nothing short of perfect. Also another unpopular opinion, but who else would have liked it if the story ended at the part where Kaizaki smiles and offers ReLIFE to Ohga's brother? As much as I love Kaizaki and Hishiro as a couple, I think the ending would have been more beautiful and poignant if they never remembered each other but they go on to live fulfilling lives as adults thanks to everything they've learned from the experiment. |

I am fine with them glossing over some arcs. Although without the arc with Ohga's brother the end isn't as impactful. I do think that the ending should have ended with him offering ReLife to Ohga's brother as well and the Kaizaki and Hishiro should of happened before that. They should have given more time to that scene as well cause the manga version is so damn good. |
| This deserved a second season and not a 4 episode OVA. While I enjoyed every minute of it yes it was extremely rushed. However. THANK THE GODS they didn't give an original ending. THANK FREAKING GOD! I mean yeah some situations were different but in the end the remembered each other and that's what fucking matters. For those who have questions I highly recommend reading the manga. Or I can gladly answer any and all questions as well. Here's the most obvious question imo: Who is Kaizaki's subject? Also to all the manga readers! We didn't get... |

The last 4 chapters are amazing and wrap this series up perfectly. Also I would read the beginning of the school festival as well. They cut out a lot of Hishiro Development in that arc. |

| While this was very visibly rushed, I still liked the conclusions. But I'm going to read the manga anyway, I feel like I would love the anime even more. |
| I think the worst part was them talking about fireworks was what made them remember. That was really stupid. In the OVA it seemed cliche like you knew it was going to happen. In the manga it was so much more fleshed out it felt like they could start over without their memories and still be into each other. I would have liked that ending as well. Yeah. No kiss = bullshit. |
| Rushed af, but it still worked (sort of). Nowhere near as good as the manga, but still okay enough. 6/10, and that's actually me being generous :P But honestly, ReLIFE fans should be reading the manga. If you liked this "season", you're gonna love the manga! |

| Actually in my opinion rushing is not the problem. Its just that why not add 5 more minutes of story after they remembered each other like some talk or a little date or some KISS. In the last minute story was somewhat like this - total stranger => headache => remembered name => hug (then THE END) |

| This was... disappointing. I was expecting some rush, but it still bothered the heck out of me. ALL of Hishiro's character development for the festival arc was cut out entirely. The ending was Ok. Well it's still better than nothing. 6/10 |
 |
| Very very rushed. |
| Phew. Glad that they remembered each other in the end. Not sure how I would've felt otherwise. I'm such a sucker for these happy endings. Sad that it was just four episodes, and it seems like they skipped a whole lot. Guess I gotta jump into the manga again and finish it. Great watch regardless, though. Gonna miss it. 9/10. |
  |
| Super rushed and a lot of important things were cut out. If this had 9 more episodes it would've been perfect. It hit all the points the manga was shooting for but at the same time it felt incomplete. It's a shame that we didn't get more character development like the manga presented us but circumstances probably prevented the studio to actually get there. I can't complain too much though because we got to see Hishiro's lovely expressions animated again. She is just too precious and I love her! 7/10- a bit bias because I adored the manga and I love Kaizaki/Hishiro. Wish this was longer but at least this ova met my expectations, albeit it was very low to begin with. I had expected a rush final arc when this was first announced as 4 episodes so I can't complain. I knew it was gonna happen. Its still a real enjoyable series anyways. Gonna miss it. |

| This may have been super rushed and cut out a lot of things but it still make me feel the same and that seen with the marker make me cry like it was the first time so I can just say that this was good. Would have loved another season tho. |

| Yes, i see that manga readers say it's rushed. Sometimes i'm very glad not to be a manga reader (i can't commit to two things with my current life) so i ended up loving it just as much as the regular series. Wonderful scenes with the date and the conclusion episode, i was very thrilled with this. 9/10 just like the main series. |
| When I started listening and became aware that they reused the OP I lost any expectatives. The animation dropped a quite too, and maybe I am paranoic but I don't feel the same effort for the voice actors (are they even the same?) well about the story... This was hella bad, so rushed, if liked it then read the manga is a lot better, this was more rushed than Boku Dake ga Inai Machi, and that is too much. I loved so much the romance between Kaizaki and Hishiro at the end so I am quite dissapointed 6/10 |
| I like to post in manga forum when I feel it is worth it, so people will think. "Shit, is her again" or something. People asked me where I read certain thing but the rules say no telling where did you read so maybe I am too boring for not saying? Or salty because you didn't check my profile that says don't ask because I hate people to ghost me after that. I love learning languages so maybe I did not read the manga in English. |
| They remembered each other lol. I liked it. |
 i like avocados on toast |
| Yep just like everyone said this adaptation is rush but welp. Better than nothing but I'm glad to see them remember each other in animated form. |
 |
| Given only 4 episodes, these OVAs were great to end. |
| I would prefer the studio to butcher the school festival than giving the ending just 5 mins. Bad call from the director. |
| Too bad they only have 4 episodes OVA instead of a full season. It was too rushed for me to actually feel emotional for their forced breakup. The ending is pretty standard and predictable good ending. What even is the point of making this OVAs if it would be rushed and ruin the series? |
| Whoever decided to make this 4ep dropped the ball. Cheap animation shortcuts with the silhouettes, and way too rushed. I wish someday they would remake this proper, and SHOW THE DAMN KISS! Didn't realize the "sunset scene" in the OP was covered late in the manga, either. Still gave it a 9, though.... :' ) |

Wonderful scenes with the date and the conclusion episode, i was very thrilled with this. 9/10 just like the main series. it was very rushed indeed, it wasn't that bad but some little details went missing. I would suggest you reading the last 3 chapters (220,221,222), it's not a lot to read and you'll probably notice those details |
 I would have flipped all the tables around me if they haven't recalled those memories. While the ending was sweet I think the story needed more minutes to actually be on par with the TV series. It felt quite rushed. And hence I cannot give this more than an 8/10 while I gave the TV series a solid 9/10. But overall, I am quite content with the anime because one of my all time favourite couples in anime, Arata x Chizuru, happened. ❤ Also, Onoya and Yoake's characters really grew on me over these four episodes so that was another plus. Onoya in particular had a big hand in Arata and Chizuru happening as she got Chizuru into joining ReLIFE! So did Yoake because it was because of him, they both got matching straps. :) I will miss this anime. Perhaps I will resume reading the manga because it seems like a lot of content, and some really important ones were left out. And I feel that the story would feel much more emotional if it were properly adapted. |

| I loved it so much and finally have some closure. I'm still satisfied hours later and taking it all in, a really good feeling after an anime you really enjoyed. I get why the manga readers would be disappointed. I had thought of starting to read it after I finished season 1, but now I've completely decided against it, and will never read it. The anime is the only story I know, so from my perspective, it wasn't rushed, I don't feel like it needs anymore side-stories and I'm very, very happy with it. A spin-off would be awesome though. |
 |
| knowing this is just 4 episode, i dont want to bash this too much on how rushed this are, of course this will be rushed, how do you think a 1/3 cour will justified the rest of 120+ chapter of manga, there’s no way it will and you should know it since the announcement of this, i would literally be surprised if this wasn’t rushed. but then again i can feel the dissapointment, but you know, it’s kinda unavoidable from the start, and i already feel the dissapointment back when it’s announced it will be 4-episode special only, but i’m just glad the studio didn’t left it and actually tried to ended it, at least they gives us the anime watcher a proper end, unlike some series. i thoroughtly liked it until the end. the last episode was emotional to the top, Hishiro cry was spot on makes me sad, i never seen her cry. i can die happy now they together in anime in the end. i’m just glad that Hishiro is saved and get a proper happy end. Hishiro is always been my favorite girl, an airhead and a blunt woman, very noice indeed. i will miss this series, this is the only anime i rewatched twice and watched the dub just to test how good the dub is (and it’s pretty good). may 29-years-old Hishiro be happy there. |
 |
| This was so rushed that it hurts.That was the worst adaption imo because they have skipped like a lot of things and that ending man I was disappointed. |
| did they change the story? because if i remember correctly at the final episode of the TV series (the summer festival arc/part) Hishiro said that she's a test subject right? but in this final adaptation they just remove the fact that she said that? too many things left out here and there because they push a lot of stuff into 4 episodes. for people who read the original source the adaptation will felt satisfied with it. but at least they end it properly even though it's not 100% faithful to the manga but it's not something fans not familiar with because there's a lot of anime adaptation that ruin the original source. people who interest in the story better try to read the manga as the manga will give you something "more". damn it's hard to judge only the anime version as i already read the manga |
| "... Now you're looking for the secret... but you won't find it, because of course you're not really looking. You don't really want to know. You want to be fooled." |
| I was so much excited for this and somehow it felt really disappointing in a way. The manga was soo much better in my opnion as everything was so rushed in this anime!! But still, it was alot of fun! We got to see the anime version ending (in a way)! |
 |
| Yeah this was hella rushed, but I'm just grateful that I get to see this show animated to a conclusion at least. 6/10 for me. I don't know how anime only fans can be satisfied with this conclusion though . For me, at least I have the manga to fill in the holes in the story and get to see how the characters developed for their ReLife, but if you're a fan of this show and haven't read the manga then that year and half wait just to see how everything ends in four short episodes should feel insufficient. For example, I really disliked how easily Kaizaki got her his necktie thing, but the biggest problem I have with this adaptation is cutting out why Hishiro is part of the ReLife program and how she came to be the person that she is. That's too important to skip. Imagine watching this for the first time and after finishing the fireworks episode and getting the reveal that Hishiro is in ReLife, your next episode is *boom* student festival, *boom* date, *boom* graduation, and then ending. Even Ohga's brother got a quick and dirty background for being the next subject. |
