This is one of the best murder mystery animes I have seen. With so many time travels, suspense and major plot twists.
If your looking for an anime that has murder mysteries, suspense and a lot of brutal scenes then I would highly recommend it.
However when it came to voice actors (I have only watched the dub) if they are voicing little boys with an exception of Sataro and the overweight boy majority of them sound too female then male. I get that in some scenarios like Ben Tennyson from Ben 10 and Bart Simpson from the Simpsons are both voiced by women and are really good at voicing them but this is no exception, I get the content of the anime was R rated since they couldn't get child actors but they might as well have got actually grown men to do their voices especially since they Kyle Mccarley, Ben Diskin and Max Mittelman in this and those men are pretty good at voicing little boys.
But other then those problem it was a good anime.
I will not spoil any plots otherwise I would be writing this review all day.
Long story short go watch this anime.

Anime is simply amazing...In less words.It has a great plot and the in very first episode you will love the main character and his uniqueness.While watching anime you will be getting the feeling of watching a movie this the first i've seen which delivers that.There are scenes which will make at the edge of the seat before you know it.The voice actor of the protagonist (Shinnosuke Mitsushima) was his debut and he nailed it and he deserves a special applause.This anime will keep your mind in the story till the end of the episode and that's a big thing.It has great opening and ending song even though i don't understand Japanese the songs are good to hear.Their are no negatives i can point out in the anime.Art is great and it has nice background music.Anime overall is a must watch anime if you are looking for something good!! there hasn't been anime like this in a while..Must watch! :-)

The basic premise of ERASED is not totally unique - Time Travel. There has been a lot of movies and shows based on this concept but ERASED stands apart for several reasons.
1) Pace:: The anime moves at a soothing pace. It's neither too fast nor too slow, but ideal and so, it never gets boring or too hard to follow.
2) Character Development:: There are a lot of anime in which even after watching 100-200 episodes, one would never feel empathetic with the characters. But in ERASED, even from episode 1, all the characters seem so real and you would really feel connected with at least one of them.
3) Narration:: This is one of the few anime which shows the lead character thinking out his strategy. Like Code Geass and Death Note, you will get a clear picture about the insights.
4) Animation Quality:: It has one of the best screenplays! There is also a lot of attention to details and colors are used very effectively to convey the message / emotions of the characters.
It is definitely worth a watch, especially given that it is a short series.

Thank god I found this anime on Netflix. First of all I'm not a anime expert and this was literally the first anime series I watched completely. I started watching this whitout any expectations and just after the first episode it touched my heart and I wanted to watch the whole series. There were so many deep conversations in this series and so many heartwarming and beautiful moments but also sad moments and that's why I love it so much. It also had elements of a crime series like searching for clues etc. Many people complained about the ending but I don't had any problems with it. It's confirmed that we will get a second season on 10th December 2021 and I can't wait to watch it. All I can say is that you should definitely watch it it's really worth it and the series just has 12 episodes anyways so you could finish it in like 2 days like me.
up till this point i have not bothered having an account on IMDb, but after seeing this anime i just had to make make a review, its just that good!
the plot keeps you on the edge of your toes the whole time while the protagonist tries to change the unfortunate events from the past and present. the character development is amazing and you grow more and more attached to the characters as the time moves toward the darker and terrible events. There are moment in the anime which are utterly heartwrenching and other which make you feel happily warm inside. The music is just fantastic and sets the mood where it needs to be while also using silence to great effect.
The similar themed anime called steins gate was a damn near perfect series, but Boku dake ga Inai Machi is just THAT much better.
i give it 10 out of 10 a must watch for every anime fan with a taste for mature and thoughtprovoking plots.
