ReLife is a anime series about a Japanese adult, Arta, who is given a chance to go back to high school. He is given a pill that lets him look like a high schooler. It based on a Japanese comic.
Arta struggles in high school but comes to enjoy it. He makes friends and later worries what will happen when the ReLife experiments ends. (His classmates will forget him.) He also worries that he is getting too close to one of his classmates.
I enjoyed this. Arta comes across as likable and so do his classmates. (Even though Arta is the character we spend the most time with, you get to know some of the other characters pretty well.) The setting is contemporary Japan. Maybe the show’s high school setting is not what a real Japanese high school is like but the setting is interesting.
The episodes are short and there is only 2 seasons (and one of those is only 4 episodes long). The show is comedic but there are also serious elements. It is not zany.
This is not an action oriented show, so if you like anime that is mostly action oriented, maybe it is not for you. I think this is worth checking out. I own it. I like the central idea of the show.
