Good Anime, liked the twist at the end, I hope neither forget about each other and get together when the series is over, I mean officially over. I enjoyed all the characters and relationships and it had good comedy, laughed a lot.
I hope we get another season of this to see how things end up with our main pairing. LOL The ending. One of my favorite Anime of the fall.

I've always found Kariu's troubles a bit hard to get through, even in the manga, so I struggled a bit getting through that part. Honestly, with only 13 episodes to work with, it really becomes more Kariu's story than Kaizaki's when you look at it in a certain way lol.
At the same time, the maturity from the main character is present still, and honestly that's one of the most endearing part of this series. I also think that the parts where he was the main focus, such as the last 3 episodes, are really the best episodes out of the anime. Especially Ep.13, I really liked the changes they made to the source plot. 10/10 for that episode. Finally, shoutout to the OST! I've always liked jazz, so I really loved hearing the flights of music from the piano. I think they should have lowered down the BGM volume a bit in sound mixing though, and some tracks were reused a lot a bit too much as well. Change that and honestly, you'd lose half the complaints about the BGMs (well, if people aren't predisposed to hating free jazz, anyways.) I've already ordered the OST online, actually. Best track + best mixing + best moment = Plot twist in Ep. 13 where they repeat the same phrase of music over and over as flashbacks occur, getting louder and louder and then COMPLETE SILENCE. That had me on the seat, and that's in spite of the fact that I read the webmanga.

Looks like the OVAs are out. It was a little... shocking how fast they blew through the content, although I suppose it was to be expected when they tried to cram that many chapters into 4 episodes... They also reversed the events a bit at the end to give it a more emotional ending I guess.

As usual, everyone's complaining about how they skipped many many chapters, while I'm just glad we got another 4 episodes and a satisfactory conclusion to the series.
It was definitely rushed, but that ending was well worth it. I still wished there would've been more episodes though. In the end though, looks like a certain braided 4 eyed girl actually made sure they'll end up together by forcing her to take a position with the company

Yep, it was thanks to Onoya we got that great ending.
It's too bad they never explained what kind of benefits there is for the company to have people undergo Relife (or maybe I've just forgotten, it's been two years). Are they mandated by the government to reform NEETs or something? Even so, with drugs like the ones they have (can make you look younger and erase select memories), they could make a shit ton of money elsewhere.

They might've also partnered up with the gov't to target suitable NEETs to use as test subjects. The gov't will have 1 less NEET to worry about, the company gets its data, win-win. Their expenses on the test subjects will be a drop in the bucket compared to their profits once the drug is approved. Want to look young again? Want to be immortal? Want to forget some traumatic memories? Want to look older than you currently look? We have the drug here just for you, with no apparent side effects! hah, now I kinda want to see a series set on a future where everyone looks 10 years younger because of this drug.
