Getting a second chance in life must be amazing. The characters are pretty interesting. He even got to meet the red haired girl again, shinoaki turns out to be the artist that he admired back then.
OP and ED are both pretty amazing, animation is good. I like where this is going..
And the LN references were funny xD

A lot like ReLIFE, right down to the social commentary on "black companies". Fortunately for Kawasegawa, Hashiba only thouught it was a suicide. Actually namedropped some actual series when Hashiba first woke up in the past.

When Hashiba fell asleep and was back in his old job being attacked by extortionists (and then it turns out its a film set directed by this Tezuka-looking feller) I thought this series was going to be him jumping back-and-forth between the two lives, maybe even going for some Tatami Galaxy-style multiverse. Just a dream for him though...

Am I the only one that isn't really feeling this anime yet? Like it isn't bad, but I don't understand the praise this anime is getting everywhere

The sequence before the time-jump feels a bit pointless for instance. The first few minutes are enough of a set-up for the time-jump, and has no big reason to be there, other then to introduce a character. The waking up scene with Aki and Kyouya was just terribly tropey, and only made worse my the anime going like "haha we know this is trope we know what we are doing". All the characters so far have not been that interesting, all of them having pretty cookie cutter character types. Especially the main character has nothing going on beside haivng a hopeless future and being "dependable", which screams "mc for others to self-insert into". Lastly, the comedy is nothing, absolutely nothing to write home about. Girlfriend, Girlfriend had better comedy and I had to stop every minute to cringe.

There are still things I liked that kept me going. The setting of a film studio is really interesting. The entire theme of having a hopeless future but trying to make the most of it with a second chance really connects with me. How Kyouya thinks everyone is better and is still trying to find what his purpose is, that is some good motivation. The walking scene where Kyouya walks with Aki, I almost got me teary-eyed for how it connects with me.

Overal, this is kinda tropey boring anime with interesting elements. I wonder where this is gonna go and how long I will stick with it.

I totally agree with you!

It’s generic plot line with generic male protagonist, but at least it’s making an effort to make fun of some tropes, like waking up to find shino sleeping on his futon. But the tropes are all still pretty much here so it defeats the purpose. Just wondering if we’re gonna get any “he’s a pedophile” comments on this one. Anyway, so far not quite as cringe as I found Relife to be, but it’s cutting it close

Edit: also not a huge fan of shinoaka’s voice, is it supposed to be poking fun at the loli trope? Because I don’t find it funny and they are in college after all. That other anime did it better, “imouto-something”, and I dropped that lol. Also could do with less monologue narration stuff, this anime will improve greatly if they could show more, tell less

So this show is SaeKano (or in the Hentai space: Eroge! H mo Game mo Kaihatsu Zanmai!), mixed with the Erased vibes.
A double-length episode this is needed to give a good 1st impression, and it did.

A nice OST, and studio feel. is back for more nice gorgeous and beauiful animation production.

28-year-old Hashiba Kyouya finding himself jobless, and then out of a simple misunderstanding, land a job at a mobile game developer company that he's been hearing throughout the media industry. It looks as if he's got a good and bright future ahead of him, but the company itself has had a falling out with their project, and it's a setback.

To sleep and go back 10 years from 2016 to 2006 with the relevant real-life references of The Familiar of Zero, Haganai, even Asterisk War, to the PS2 (right before the PS3 came out), Kyouya has a chance to remake his life and start from scratch.

Encountering the nice Aki Shino a.k.a Shinoaki in his sleep, with both delinquent Nanako Kogure and bare-bones Tsurayuki Rokuonji at first morning, and yeah, a good start for all in the Kitayama Share House. Oonaka Arts College, Film Studies, these 4 are in the same course, but to survive in this breakneck, cutthroat industry, live your foolish life well. Even future director Eiko Kawasegawa makes her elegant entrance in the most enthusiastic way. The sleepyhead Tsurayuki can deliver with his encyclopedia head, I'm surprised and impressed.

Even the notions of clubs (or called Circles) is prevalent, and it brings much of the SaeKano vibe.

All of the actors of the future 10 years have gathered and time-traveled 10 years back, looking forward to more of this nice and relaxing feeling.
Get out of your "useless" ways, Kyouya! The "future set in stone" pieces are there, it's what you want to do with it!


Yeah. While the premise of the show seems pretty generic, you can clearly see that the author of the original LN seems very much inspired by these LNs and VNs.

The scene where Aki Shino was introduced was so cringe and awkward to watch. It doesn't help the protagonist is annoying, generic and difficult to empathize with. The misunderstanding already makes Aki and Nanako so disgusting in mere seconds.

yes brother 50 minutes the first episode ...? 😳💘 I didn't think you would be watching so much, but at least I have something to watch now and brother how do you regret all the decisions in life now, never brother to regret what you chose otherwise you will not be successful with ia. But now he has a second chance at what he had done and to choose well this time. 🤭
And how lazy it is that he couldn't even set up the room. 😂
Oh Shinoaki, this is a bit dubious, but nobody cares. 😂😂
Brother, I was sure that these are the legends of the future, but I didn't know how well now they present only one of them, but I'm sure that the other 2 sound like that, it seems so, but they can't even meet his future boss. 😂💞

Working at the black company at least provided Kyoya with multiple skills although sad he got laid off at the second job too due to a cancelled project.

Really digging the story especially with the past set at Kyouya's university days so I won't feel weird about the romance (Shinoaki best girl so far) compared to other similiar anime.

This show is all over the place with the time jumps. It's relatable with regards to career choices and the what-ifs. If you could go back ten years, how would you do things differently? I would have chosen a different approach to life academically. The premise of this anime excites me. The graduate to job employment ratio is a testament to real life. Graduation won't guarantee you a job unless you are in a very in-demand career or you know a few contacts that would get you in.

On another note, the animation is exquisite. The serenity of the Sakura blossoms scene inspires hope. It feels optimistically tranquil.

I remembered
but this one is more lighthearted... and strange since he is teleporting to different timelines or am I mistaken and he simply forgets where his current life is and cannot differentiate the past and present
or he is just dreaming... 😅

After some thought, the MC has a better mature attitude towards others because of his future-like dream.. errr... I can't differentiate what is what just by this episode but I'll probably enjoy this series quite well.

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

This started to be a much insightful journey for our MC Kyouya who's been going through a hell of finding a stable job that's a bit scary to think you don't have a stable living

Well that was a bit quick and hot introduction with our best girl Shinoaki okay a bit of a misunderstanding first off, This group is amusing and their chemistry looks like it is on the roof but I like it it's not that bland and it has some kick to it

Well, that was one hell of a start like I didn't expect it to be 50 mins halfway through I was wondering why was it so long and I checked the time, Yeah people are talented in this school surprised about that one factor, Kyouya discovered his hero so Shinoaki is that good and his inspiration damn I see you Kyouya better make a change for yourself.

Although time travel was poorly executed and from the start it is obvious who is who 10 years earlier, I like this anime already. The art is great, hope for more real places! Real world references with anime that I know or heard of Grisaia no Kajitsu, Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai, No Game No Life, Rewrite. This is really cool ;] oh and there is ecchi!

Very enjoyable first episode, being 50 mins was a great decision tbh, a lot happened, I like the setting, feels a bit refreshing, wont think much about how the fuck he managed to rewind 10 years, and just enjoy what we have.
Thankfully for fiction doing such unreal stuff, I was feeling very bad for the MC, enjoyed the other characters two, seems like there are already 2 heroines to ship with it.

Also I found it funny the anime could get license to show Front Wing VNs, I saw Island there, very good VN cool, but for PS2 and PS3, they couldn't not get a license as easily lol.

Promising show, thankgod for binge watching!

kinda average

a double episode, but it didn't feel like something that needed to be extended length. i think it could've easily been two separate episodes without issue. but oh well

so apparently he was a pretty good worker, but all the companies he worked for and projects he previously worked on never panned out. unfortunate, but that's the industry, no?

pretty obvious he'd run into the those platinum people in school. i wonder if all his roommates are part of that group. but i never expected his boss to be in school also. i just assumed her character was done with, never to be seen again. however, when we saw the lady who welcomed the students on the first day and basically scared them and called them "stupid", she had the same green/yellow eyes. i thought she was his former boss. but apparently not. maybe they're sisters? idk, no clue

also, he goes from "present" time to back in the "past". but then there was that one scene where he was back in the "present", but it was a different version of the "present"? i guess they'll explain it later? because that made no sense haha. did i completely misunderstand what happened?

5 or 6/10 first episode. there was nothing that "hooked me". i'll watch a couple more episodes but i'm not opposed to dropping it if it doesn't improve a lot

The time travel certainly feels convenient but I guess that's just the plot. Although the platinum generation coincidentally being the people he is housing with is also extremely convenient. Assuming the other two really are from the same group.

An ok start overall.

I did not expect a double-episode, but it actually almost felt like a normal episode. That dude is born in the same year as me... and is actually scarily similar to myself at 28 years, I also wish I could go back in time 10 years and redo a lot of my decisions back then. So far this anime hits home a bit too hard, which also means I do enjoy it so far.

So he actually figured out that he lives with one of those platinum people, wonder how long it will take him to figure out that the other two are living with him as well. Especially since that other girl's name also starts with "Nana", it should actually be damn obvious lol

from some reason i'm afraid i'm gonna disappointed from this anime, but maybe it's just me?

the flew, the animation, it all was very natural feeling. wish there would be more 50 minutes episode like this lol.
i felt the fanservice really forced. and the time travel little cliche. it only raised me the question wether this is all real or gonna end as "this is all just a dream". and this is also kind of my fear this is gonna disappoint me.
