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.
I've just recently started watching animes and after watching this one, I don't think I'll be able to enjoy the others as much. This is truly a masterpiece. The first episode alone will keep you hooked for the rest of the series. It's such an interesting and psychologically provocative story that will play with your feels, making you experience all sorts of emotions and keeping you on the edge of your seat while you watch as the narrative unfolds. It has beautiful animations, deep and really lovable characters and it touches on the subject of "Time Travel", which is almost always done wrong, but done perfectly well in this one. I don't want to spoil anything, I just think everyone should watch this and enjoy their well spent time whilst doing it.
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.

Erased is one of my favorite anime. It is so natural and real. This has a strong message about Believing which itself a metaphor of hope and will. It may be turf for someone to understand the whole premises first but I advise that please float straight obtained to the stream and you will find all the answers. The Animation is actually soothing and the story really catches my nerves.
here I am mentioning the plus points of this anime
1. It is so realistic in its story, characters and screenplays 2. The Hero is pretty much suitable with the stream as he is as normal as other human beings. He takes his lessons from his faults and that is the key of his success 3. The musics, textures and special mentioning the OP is really great. 4. The messages that it throws to our society are really spell bounding. 5. Mental and Relational strong Bonding between characters.(Mother- son) 6. And lots more.
It says when a man lost his all hopes and doesn't want to stand again against his problems, then he have to ruminate the smiling face of his close peoples whom for he is OK on this earth and thus give him the sprite of fighting again.(I think this message is really needed into our present society)
(Here I am Putting my own opinion about its realism. So I mention Death Note Anime....Please don't misunderstood me. It is on purpose)
we know Death Note is another mystic Anime but if you just thought about the main protagonists of that anime for a minute, you can come to the point that they are actually supernaturally talented who barely do any faults, that is coincidental and unrealistic. It has no good for us as they are not normal. But for this anime the main protagonist is nothing but a simple man who gets success by doing faults. So for this reason it is real and super that can inspire some people at least.
Thanks for paying your time to read this. I know I bring forth many commotion facts that may be offensive for you but I request you to compromise with the fact. Thanks Again.
