Erased

Erased started out as a very interesting decent anime. It already had gotten attention on just episode one. But it made insane progress on MyAnimeList. On merely episode two it was already rising through the ranks of MyAnimeList. By episode three it was already within the top 20 of the website, and with the release of episodes 4 and 5, it broke through the top TEN, an incredibly rare occasion considering the numerous episodes and efforts put into the other classic shows (such as Your Lie in April or even Code Geass). As I type this up now, with the show having 7 episodes, it is already at 6th place, threatening to overtake the legendary Hunter V. Hunter! Even though it is based on a manga, and its pace may feel a bit quick, it is still excellent for a 12-episode anime. With a very nice soundtrack and voicing, along with beautiful scenes combined with the very tense plot along with good characters, this anime brings the manga to life! With a less obvious display of the murderer than the manga, and with full suspense making the watcher want to know more, tortured by the weekly cliffhanger, Erased is looking to be one of the best anime of 2016--if not of all time! You should watch it if you like murder mystery, mind-games, psychology, tension, along with some supernatural powers.

Even so, be warned that the anime is not perfect. The ending may disappoint some who were expecting a red herring-- but those who have read the manga will not be surprised. Even so, the overall characters are in-depth, the tension is taut, and this anime is very good.

FYI: the highest this anime has been was in 4th place, threatening to overtake Gintama and/or Steins;Gate!

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.

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! :-)

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.

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.
