"Re:Puchi" Review: Enjoy the start of a new life in another world

"Re:Puchi" - Exploring the new charms of life in another world

"Re:Petit" is a TV anime series that aired in 2016, and is based on the light novel "Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World" by Tappei Nagatsuki. This work is different from the main story, which depicts life in another world, and was produced as a short anime that progresses the story with a more comical and light-hearted touch. It was broadcast from June 24th to September 23rd, 2016, and consisted of 14 episodes, each of which was only 5 minutes long. It was produced by WHITE FOX and directed by Watanabe Masashi.

Overview

"Re:Petit" depicts the daily life of the main character Subaru, who is summoned to another world, and the various characters he meets. In contrast to the heavy storyline of the main series, characters such as Subaru, Rem, Ram, and Emilia appear as chibi characters and engage in humorous episodes. This series, which aired on AT-X, was a rare opportunity for fans to enjoy the characters from a new perspective.

Story and Characters

The stories of "Re:Petit" are basically one-off episodes, with each episode having a different theme and situation. For example, there is an episode where Subaru learns how to cook from Rem and Ram, and an episode where Emilia enjoys a picnic with Petra, and they depict the characters' daily lives in a humorous way. In addition, the deformed movements and expressions unique to the chibi characters provide laughs to the viewers.

The characters are as charming as they are in the main story. Subaru is as clumsy as ever, and it's endearing to watch him get tossed around by Rem and Ram's tsukkomi. Emilia's kindness and Beatrice's tsundere attitude are also portrayed unchanged even though they are chibi characters. In particular, the exchanges between the twin sisters Rem and Ram are a highlight that fans won't want to miss.

Animation and Music

The animation is a work that highlights WHITE FOX's high level of technical skill. The deformed designs of the chibi characters are both cute and humorous. The detailed direction of the movements and expressions is also superb, entertaining the viewer. The music, just like in the main story, is used effectively to liven up the atmosphere of each scene. In particular, the selection of background music creates a comical effect that matches the movements of the chibi characters.

Evaluation and Impressions

"Re:Petit" has been highly praised by fans as a work that allows them to enjoy the characters from a new perspective. In particular, the cuteness of the chibi characters and the humorous episodes provide viewers with laughter and allow them to spend a relaxing time. In addition, the light-hearted touch, which contrasts with the heavy storyline of the main series, brings out a new charm in life in another world.

However, on the other hand, some people say that the short anime format makes it difficult to depict the depth of the story or the growth of the characters. With a short length of 5 minutes, there is no time to delve into the characters' feelings or backgrounds, and some viewers may feel unsatisfied. Nevertheless, "Re:Petit" is a valuable work that allows fans to enjoy the characters from a new perspective, and is highly regarded as a work that allows them to explore the new charms of life in another world.
