Rebooting is a series that is currently airing to success on Sunday prime time, in which a mundane woman gets the unbelievable chance to redo her banal life. Scripted by a very popular Japanese comedian who’s forte is detailed descriptions of the daily events that are extremely relatable and humorous to audiences, the story revolves around a 33-year-old single woman working at the local city hall. One day, she gets hit by a car and dies but finds herself in an empty white room where a clerk files her death and guides her towards a door to her next life as a giant anteater. If she declines that choice and chooses to re-live the same life she had lived as a human being but work hard to gain extra points by doing better than her past life, she will again be reincarnated as a human being. She chooses the latter to take control of her karma and reincarnation, and her second go at life begins; however, things do not go as planned and when she dies again and faces the same decision-making process, she decides to re-live her same life once again, only to find out a huge surprise that she is not the only one going through multiple reboots of life. This time-leap human comedy depicts bizarre daily occurrences at a spectacular scale with an unimaginable ending and has ranked #1 on catch up, SVOD, and AVOD as well as constantly trending on social media.
