'ReLIFE: Final Chapter' Four-Episode OVA Blu-ray/DVD Release Date, News: Special Arc to End Arata's Experiment in March 2018
The four-episode original video animation (OVA) for the Japanese slice-of-life anime series, "ReLIFE," has been given an official release date.
The special OVA, titled "ReLIFE: Kanketsu-hen (ReLIFE: Final Chapter)," will reportedly pick up where the 13th episode of the television series left off and will take the story all the way to the end of series protagonist, Arata Kaizaki's ReLIFE experiment. It can be recalled that Arata and Chizuru Hishiro, who were both part of the said experiment, have ended up falling in love with each other.
However, knowing that he will forget everyone he met at school once his ReLife experiment concluded, Arata chose not to tell Chizuru about how he felt. Instead, he told her that he would never forget her, which was also the same thing that Chizuru said to him in turn.
