If you liked ReLIFE add

...then you might like Uramichi Oniisan add

Both animes are similar in that they both tackle issues of adulthood and the meaning/purpose of life. However, Uramichi Oniisan's approach is somewhat cynical in this regard, whereas ReLife's approach is the opposite. ReLife's take is one full of optimism, that "it is never too late to change your situation", which I wholeheartedly endorse. That no matter what kind of challenges or depressing situation you are thrown into, sometimes you just need to take a step back and revaluate who or what is that you want/enjoy out of your life. ReLife is a dramatic slice of life, with bits of comedy here and there, but its ultimate focus is its drama and character development, of which I assure you, is plentiful and executed well. While Uramichi Oniisan is a dark and sarcastic humorous take on the struggles of adulthood, the internal monologue of its characters reveals the anxious, uncertain, and exhausting struggles they deal with, which is quite similar to what the characters of ReLife go through. In short, Uramichi Oniisan showcases the struggles, anxieties, and depressive nature of what their characters go through, however, ReLife not only showcases these aspects, but tries to overcome them through lessons and interactions each character goes through.
