ReLIFE

[Buffalobiian]

Flashback? I only remember her either at school, or spying on a computer with the male supporter.

You don't recall all the scenes when they were together before Arata was on ReLife and such?

Maybe it was because also the supporter didn't look all the different when he was older.

.. are you talking about suicide girl?

I'm talking about pink hair + glasses girl.

edit: oh yeah, and Hishiro supposedly committed suicide and Arata found the body. Not sure what was going on there if she's alive now.

I know who you're talking about, I'm indeed talking about pink hair + glasses girl.

Hishiro didn't commit suicide, Arata's coworker did.

I think you're confused here.

[shinta|hikari]

Hishiro and Arata's senpai are the same person. Just kidding.

In fan-fiction.

Edit. Fucking spoiler color.

[Buffalobiian]

I thought they were the same person during that flashback. If they're not then that makes more sense.

I still can't recall any flashbacks where Onoya was in adult form.

Episode 7. We can't tell if she's adult or not all told, as I said she doesn't change all that much once she lets her hair down, but I'm assuming she is through this episode.

Ah. I never watched eps 6-7. I see what you mean now.

edit:

I think the flashback is still a young Onoya. It's dangerous to walk around looking 27 while having a school uniform on.

I'm not entirely sure she was even taking the pills. She just puts on less jewelry and makeup when she's in "teen" form.

It's not like Ryou who is noticeably different in height. She doesn't fill out or anything equivalent. Her proportions are all the same either way.

I think that's the biggest failure in this series I think, that they didn't make an enough of a differentiation between all the characters' teen version and their adult versions, with various degrees of effectiveness.

You can't tell one from the other.

I do think she was taking the pill though, just that the series sucked at depicting it... but who knows, maybe it's as you say.

4 episode ova sequel is coming out next week on March 21.

Sucks that I kinda forgot all the nuances of the show. Regardless hope it has a satisfactory conclusion (assuming this will conclude the series).

[shinta|hikari]

I read the webtoon to the end. Excellent stuff. It has ended, btw, so you might wanna read it.

[Munsu]

All 4 episodes are out now. Will probably watch them this weekend.

[Buffalobiian]

I was satisfied with this. Like Bud I had been detached from this despite largely remembering the overall plot.

[David75]

Watched ep14, totally forgot it... Was hard to get back into that world.
The horrible art didn't help, combined with poor quality control.

[MFauli]

Very bad ending. At least they're together. But I hated how their relationship ended up being the result of coincidence. Unless you believe in fate (which I don't), this all sucked.

Didn't help that he didn't fight for his love at all.

Then again apparently the organization is almighty.

Uh...no different from a lot of recently, critically acclaimed animated movies (not going to name them because spoilers) and fan-favorite series.

The point of each is that love endures time skips, mind wipes, and reality shifts.

I don't know why this one is different for you when the main plot device is the same.

You seem to be accusing me of something but refuse to go into detail. Name other anime that I've seen where you think it went like this.

I know plenty of romance anime. But the way both find together at last was super unsatisfactory. Had he not seen a glimpse of her and followed her outside, they'd be separate. Complete coincidence. Other romance stories feature such coincidence for the first encounter of two love birds. Here the entire happy end relies on such second coincidence occurring. I can't be happy with that. I'm happy THAT they got together again, but I'm angry about the 'how'. They both lost to the almighty asshole company and only got lucky. That is all.

Imagine watching Steins,Gate. You spend watching 25 episodes of Okabe trying his hardest to reach another world line. Then in episode 26 he gives up ... and reaches a new world line by coincidence. Sure, he found his happy end - but he himself lost, which would be 100% unsatisfactory, too. Or imagine Goku fighting Tenshinhan in the 2nd tournament. They fight a hard fight, but then suddenly Tenshinhan gives up, because he thinks Goku deserves to win. Sure, it's a happy end, but totally unsatisfactory.

That's how it is with reLife. The series really ended when both swallowed their pills. Bad End. Then we get another scene, they find each other from coincidence. Happy End. Uhuh ...

[shinta|hikari]

Huh, is that how they ended the anime? Read the manga then. No magical coincidences.
