This show is one of the hidden gems.
Setting (10/10)
The show takes place in a single city, seemingly isolated from the rest of the world. Almost everyone in the city have a unique power, with no people having the same one. It makes both plot and the show's characters very interesting, because the entire premise is about how those powers interact with each other. Some of them synergyse very well as it is for two MCs, others not so much, and some can hard counter each other. There are more and less useful powers, some are very particular and some are very broad instead. For example there can be a power to manipulate time or space in a particular way or one that just makes people around laugh without a reason. Power to speak with cats or power to grow trees faster. The uniqueness makes th…

Sakurada Reset is a hidden gem. Well, at least for me it is. I just happened to find it while browsing the mystery genre. I wasn't expecting much, but I ended up binging the whole thing in a day. It starts off a bit slow but picks up after the first couple of episodes. What makes Sakurada Reset stand out for me is its creative use of superpowers, engaging character growth, and the gradual unraveling of the town’s mysteries. Although its overall presentation isn't anything special, the intriguing plot and character development make it worth watching. If you are looking for a well-written mystery with a few twists and turns, Sakurada Reset is definitely worth a look.
It really feels like people have forgotten about this show since I rarely see anyone recommend or discuss it. I find it so un…

An anime does not need to hijack your computer and send hoax emails about your untimely death to your loved ones, nor discolor the screen you're watching it on to be considered completely, utterly worthless. The key is in the word itself; worthless - meaning an absence of worth. Are there animations within the medium, albeit mostly of the mouths of characters plastered onto static backgrounds? Yes, there is. Is the voice acting competent in that it maintains a consistent tone of voice for its characters, and there's no flub takes being snuck into the final product? Also, yes. Is there a narrative that builds toward some sort of conclusion? I cannot say no. Neither of these things can be justifications that I in good faith can recommend another person to endeavor this joyless experience.…

Sakurada Reset is the very definition of a "hidden gem". Literally no one talked about it when i aired, and six years later it's still not known. And it's a shame, because it is a unique anime, in terms of ambiance. Are you sick of the over-the-top reactions and surreal battles with the world at stake? Good! Because SR has none of that. It's a very grounded story, with down-to-earth characters like we rarely see in the anime industry.
STORY
This is a world with magical powers. A girl has the ability to reset time, but she can't alter anything because she loses her memory when she uses it. A boy has the ability to keep his memory no matter what, even if Time is reset. A common friend of them puts them in relation so they can work together and save people from tragedies before they even hap…

Sakurada Reset is a strange show.
Most people watching it will drop it after the first two or so episodes, for varying reasons. Maybe they're thrown off by the long, quiet conversations. Or the many completely quiet, still shots of people and the scenery. There are a multitude of reasons why people drop Sakurada Reset, and these reasons are why the show has such a criminally low rating on this site.
But when you keep watching, almost without realizing it, the show manages to grip your heart completely. Those long conversations, before boring and pointless, now have you gripping onto every word and every moment of silence. You find yourself enamored by Sakurada Reset, this strange show which you most likely had never even heard about before watching it. And you will come out of watching…

After having been amused by ridiculous comedies, impossible intellect and intense fighting scenes, you just want to watch some leisurely-paced Anime that has a sense of beauty to it. This Anime is definitely the most profound, visually appealing Anime I have watched since I have seen Death Note.
If you like something tranquil and peaceful, something sad and bitter with a tint of longing and hope, then Sakurada has got you covered. Sakurada Reset creates atmosphere in ways unknown to other Anime. It has a rather simple soundtrack, but the scenes are coordinated with the underlaying music to such an extend, as to convey the characters' emotions most accurately.
Overall the components of the story seem so delicately and carefully intertwined. All of the characters and their powers seem to c…

I came across Sakurada Reset when I was searching for a superpower anime that doesn't revolve around physical fights. If you're into that kind of stuff, give this one a go.
Story: 9/10
Truly a clever story involving people with supernatural powers. The main selling point is the time traveling ability, which is executed in its own unique style. However, it does have a very slow and confusing start. It starts picking up and culminates in an amazing conflict between the MC and the antagonist near the end. Also, there is a lot of philosophical conversations that you may not care for.
Art: 8/10
Pretty good.
Sound: 6/10
Nothing too memorable except the first opening?
Character: 6/10
Some characters are outstanding; others not so much. My least favorite by far is unfortunately the female lead…

this anime really blew me away. i was a little skeptical since i read some reviews that weren’t so positive, but i’m glad i didn’t listen. it’s like re:zero meets charlotte but it still has it’s own unique elements. the characters wits and brains had me on the edge of my seat the entire series. there are also several plot twists so i really believe it’s worth the watch. it was really cool and the concept was well done. it never got boring for me and i always wanted to know what would happen next. definitely would recommend giving it a shot

Perhaps this is the rare case when an anime should be watched at least twice. "Sagrada/Sakurada Reset" is a real puzzle within a puzzle. There is an "outer puzzle" - story and confrontation brought to the surface, and there is also a hidden intricacies of motivations and ideals of characters, which are even more difficult to keep track of than the "external" rules of interaction of abilities and battles of wits. All the episodes in the "Sakurada Reset" are intertwined. The actions, dialogues, and reflections of the heroes demonstrated in some episodes are often continuations or keys to understanding the actions, dialogues and reflections of the heroes in other episodes. This is the main feature as well complexity for understanding of the "Sakurada" - it is holistic, all the series are conn…

This show is utterly amazing, and not for those not seeking for depth.
Story takes place in the city of Sakurada, where people dispose of superpowers. Out of Sakurada, no other city presents this criteria. Therefore out of Sakurada, people have no power, even those who had some in it. Why ? Well you will understand the more you go, and will catch it eventually.
Let's talk about the main problem it may have first. And you will see after why it is not necessarily a problem.
The concept of time is extremely complicated to perceive. Once you stuck into it, or let one single detail out of the picture, you sure are doomed for the rest of the show. Because every freaking element has sense. Why some characters do what they do, why some others, while knowing fully the consequences of what they do,…

Sakurada Reset is an amazing anime that knows how to balance between realism and supernatural. Though the anime may seem mediocre, resulting in a low rating. This anime is truly a hidden gem for those yearning for a realistic romance drama and an ethical/moral plot.
STORY : 9/10

Sakurada Reset is set in the titular town that has people filled with special abilities and are isolated from the outside world. Among its residents are Kei Asai, who has a perfect memory that can't be tampered with, and Haruki Misora, who can reset time up to 72 hours back whenever she sets up a save point to set the time back to. Both of them are members of the Service Club, a club where the two are assigned to handle unique dilemmas coming from ability users. Unknown to them however, the Service Club is part of a larger chain of events transpiring within the town.
Sakurada Reset has gotten some rather divided reception among fans due to how it chooses to execute its storytelling. It goes the route of the Monogatari franchise in that good chunks of the series feature characters being in…

This is an anime that you need to use your brain to watch, in literally meaning!!!
Sagrada Reset tells about Asai Kei's live in Sagrada, a city that full with people who own super power.
Watching Sagrada Reset really need to push your brain working harder than watching any other anime. Because you need to pay attention on its every detail. Also mixed plot that they use from the beginning of the episode force you to remember how's the plot from the previous episode so you can understand the complete story.
Btw I hate how Kei ends up getting together with Misora. It was the very first time I hate that main male character finally got a happy ending with the lead female character. Somehow I prefer Kei ends up with Soma. But after I think about it again then I realized that this is the best…

Watching Sakurada Reset felt like watching various popular shows at the same time:
~ Take a setting like that of "Charlotte" where people have special powers,
~ but make the story revolve around few characters with time reversal like "STEINS;GATE",
~ bring in an MC who has logic and intelligence like Ayumu from "Spiral: Suiri no Kizuna",
~ Making the conversations long like "HYOUKA" or "MONOGATARI series" and
~ finally most importantly add the philosophy like that of "MAWARU PENGUINDRUM" whose true essence never came out and there you get "Sakurada reset"
So basically, the story is simple, a town having people with special abilities and there is a mysterious Administration Bureau which controls how the things work, but our MC tries to help them but also tries to uncover the secrets behi…

If you're the sort of person who drops shows if they're struggling to get into it, you're likely not going to finish this show. Sagrada Reset is a show that takes some time to get up to speed. The opening two episodes are entirely set-up, and the first storyline that isn't setup doesn't get good until about halfway through. They're not terrible, by any stretch, but they're slow, and the nature of the show's protagonists mean that when things aren't really happening, it's noticeable. However, once the show starts to pick up speed, it does not stop.
Once the show hits the last few episodes of the first season, you start to realise that this show is not just two/three episode smaller stories. There's a lot going on in this story, and, once the final climax of the story starts to fall into p…

Sakurada isn't your average town. Its inhabitants and anyone who moves to the town are granted a special ability but they're limited in such a way that the user can't benefit from it and if they left town, they'd forget they even had such abilities. Kei Asai is a righteous high school student who takes things seriously and won't do anything without purpose. One day, the student council president Sumire Soma lures him to the rooftop to meet the emotionless Misora Haruki who goes about her life based on logic. Sumire was hoping their similar personalities will allow Kei to befriend her because she had no friends. Kei soon discovers Haruki had the ability to reset time for up to three days in the past as long as she created a save point. Problem was her own memories are reset too so she never…

Overall score: 10/10
This is based on my overall enjoyment and other technical problems might have happened during the time I watched it. Might not be true average by parts' scores.
As someone else already pointed out, you really should try out this series first before deciding if it's good or bad. I myself tried it out because it had that vibe of a daily life that I just wanted to go through after seeing so many other long winded or great series. But then, my first impression that this isn't as lighthearted as I thought, in fact, I realized it was a real brain hacking series right away. So much I had to stop and pinch my forehead many times just to keep up with the story line of the first few episodes.
I also often keep myself from predicting anything as I watch something because, and…

Two individuals use their reset ability and their eidetic memory abilities to solve problems involving or revolving around abilities.
Story: Most stories have a sort of macguffin, whether it is a physical object or just an end result that the protagonist tries to achieve. In any case, a macguffin is a motive for the main character to do what he or she has to do. This anime is no exception. In the town of Sakurada, people possess strange abilities that range from making everyone within a certain radius laugh uncontrollably to having photographic memory. It may seem like a standard superpowers anime, but there are a few differences. There’s barely any action and it’s not the standard comedic slice of life either. Instead, this anime focuses primarily on mysteries and deeper themes such as i…

A miss? Really? I'm sorry, but you cannot just decide that when a show is only aired halfway through.
A SUMMARY
Asai Kei has the ability to remember everything he experiences, Haruki Misora can reset time up to three days back with some restrictions and now combine these two and you can get the perfect time machine. The flow of the story is quite slow. since it takes its sweet time to introduce every character, develop them and integrate them into the story. It might seem a bit of a bore at first but if you can be patient the plot goes in deeper and it doesn't disappoint.
Why should you watch it? Because it is worth the time and its interesting.
If you want a science fiction, kind of paradoxical and a little hint of romance this one's the one you are looking for. Decide for yourself i…
