Synopsis
Arata Kaizaki is an unemployed, single 27-year-old who has just been cut off from his parents' financial support. Employment or Training of 27 years) who after leaving abruptly at the company he worked for could not find more than a small part-time job in a supermarket. His life seems to fall apart, because her parents did not threaten to keep more and that has neither friends nor a girl. One night, after drinking appears before him a strange character, Ryo Yoake, who invited him to join the social rehabilitation program called "ReLife" which is to make him take a substance that makes you look younger and then sends it back to high school for one year…

  Wonderful. There are no other words to describe more effectively relife, yet another surprise of 2016 memorable for Japanese animation. And in hindsight also surprising fitting, since this series, taken from the manga (still ongoing) written and illustrated by Yayoisō and serialized on the Comedy of NHN website PlayArt from October 12, 2013, it comes as a welcome bolt from the blue in the crowded landscape of television adaptations drawn from Seinen works. 

Relife, even in its disarming simplicity, is able to travel in time even the most cynical of viewers and bring it back to the times of his youth, unique and unrepeatable period that, like a firework, shining intense for a while and then vanishes forever, taking with him a bit 'of melancholy and many regrets.
  Much of the success of the series is the characterization of the characters, absolutely perfect in their uniqueness and capable, even more than the "rich" colleagues Kiznaiver , to arouse, everyone, great sympathy. In the series there are no "villain" or antagonists because they are the same situations in the life of every day to put ourselves constantly in trouble. The interactions between the characters and their dialogues are blatantly credible and realistic and emphasize the subtle restlessness that shares both adults (reflections dell'Arata Kaizaki 27-year-old) that younger (his classmates 17-year-olds).
  Relife convinces because it represents and perfectly describes a crucial period of life that too many, over time, tend to forget: the first emotional disorders, the little stupid things that turn into momentous dramas, over-reactions, the birth of friendships that last a life and questions of existence: what role we have in the world, what defines us, how we look in the eyes of others, it is worth loving if we are already certain that one day we will be forgotten?
  If the technical front we are certainly faced with a particularly sophisticated work, script and direction are impeccable: the first, apparently "lightweight" is instead a real treatise on the infinite complexity of the transition from youth to adulthood and demonstrates an ability of political / social analysis and contextualization that has no equal among the recent animated series, and that would make the happiness of famous singers of that age as Linklater or Hughes . Directed, Tomo Kosaka TMS Entertainment, it is in perfect tune ironic moments (most) and dramatic and enter the twists at the right time. Sensational and unpublished jazz accompaniment that serves as a sound carpet to the vicissitudes of the characters.
  Relife condenses into thirteen episodes (the final open and manga during construction suggest the need for a second season) reflections and thoughts on love, friendship, the transience of youth, the role of school, work, mobbing, bullying, death, and life. He 'a perfect and marvelous synthesis of Welcome to the NHK, Maison Ikkoku and Orange Road joined together, a series without downtime, funny, bitter, melancholic and joyful that escapism, dreamers and romantics will love unconditionally.
