I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Why so much hype?

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

This isn't something you'd experience, in fact, this isn't a usual anime. This is something else, a heartfelt, deeply emotional anime. I'm lonely in real life, this anime had my back in my lonely time, I'm grateful for everyone who worked on this masterpiece. Everything is 10/10. Please, don't ever miss this.

1) TIME RESETS MAKE NO SENSE. Just look how there is absolutely no consistency amongst them.2) THE PROTAGONIST HAS NO STEADY MOTIVATIONS. They change in every episode with no rhyme or reason, something the fan boys didn't notice because he is a bland self-insert who can be anything and anyone at any given moment. I mean did you even see how generic his face is? Take all faces A1 Pictures animated from light novels and compare them. They are the exact same one, featureless face!3) PLOT CONVENIENCES. Many events happen seemingly by chance and end up affecting the plot considerably. No proper mystery or thriller should be so reliant on chance because it cheapens what it's trying to accomplish.4) THE PROTAGONIST'S REASONING MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE.He runs away from the police, thus incriminating himself for no reason. The fan boys excuse it as him panicking because of the murder of his mother, thus he wasn't thinking reasonably. If that is the case, why is he STILL running away from the police after he returns to the present? He is calm now, and thinks reasonably. Hell, he spends half the episode playing with children out in the open for everybody to see, and then goes to chat in a public cafeteria full of people. Seems like he is not afraid of being seen, right? But when police officers arrive, he is running away again. What is this bull?He assumes that he can save his mother by saving a little girl, the two of which have absolutely nothing to do with each other, just because he is at the time when the murders began. Well, thank goodness nothing else happened in the world that year, or he might have arbitrarily assumed he would have to do something completely different.5) THE MYSTERY ASPECT OF THE SHOW IS COMPLETE GARBAGE. 6) FAKE TENSION WITH CLIFFHANGERS. Every episode ends with a cliffhanger that makes the average viewer wanting to find out what will happen next. The problem here is that what follows the cliffhangers is a dud. It is always something anti-climactic or completely stupid. The show systematically tries to undo consequences or hide its plot conveniences with cliffhangers that are too obvious to spot when you marathon the show. 7) VICTIMIZING GALORE. A one dimensional evil parent hits while laughing her own child for forced drama. - No fan boys, saying this happens all the time in real life does not make it any less forced. - Let's have the girl being bullied at school as well. No reason to assume the more victimizing they throw at you, the more absurd it becomes.8) PLOT INDUCED STUPIDITY.9) PEDOPHILIA, AS THE PROTAGONIST IS SEXUALLY ATTRACTED TO A LITTLE GIRL. No fan boys, just because his body is 10 years old, does not make his brain not 30 years old. And nobody knowing he is not really a child does makes him not pedo. Pleading ignorance does not pass in court. Oh, sorry officer, I thought I could have sex with 10 year old because I'm a time traveler.10) ONE DIMENSIONAL EVIL CHARACTERS. 11) AWFUL TIME SKIP. Any hints of logic the show had, are completely gone when a time skip takes place in the last episodes. 12) UNDEFINED FOCUS. This show has no idea of what it's trying to be about, leading to a complete lack of identity. This is evident in how the fanboys were gradually changing their opinion of the show, every time something was disappointing them. SO WHY THE DEVIL WAS THIS SHOW SO HYPED AND ADORED BY EVERYBODY? Erased fails in everything besides emotional manipulation. It had a premise where a good heart ed man tries to save his mother and a cute girl the viewers feel sorry for. As soon as both these issues were solved in episode 9, the interest in the show immediately evaporated and what followed was a bullshit killer revelation and a retarded time skip nobody could take seriously.Basically, while the show was using forced drama and a sickening romance between a man and a little girl, everybody was blinded to its problems. The second those were dealt with, they instantly woke up and realized it was crap all along. The whole thing is yet another example of why crap like Sword Art Online become super hyped and loved by everybody while they air, and then are hated as soon as they are over. The anime community is a cesspool of immature people who can't think straight and let emotions cloud their perception. And then some wonder why Donald Trump is so adored for all the ridiculous things he does. Faith in humanity, lost.

wow okay i watched this as it were coming out on cruchyroll weekly and mate a got ta tell ya its one of the best not just anime but shows I've seen in a long time interesting characters twist at ever turn like when it turned out it was the teacher who killed the kids are when Satoru doesn't end up with the girl because he was in a coma 10 out of 10

Anyone saying this was a above 3/10 was either payed or edited!The show introduced a similar concept to Steins gate where the protagonist is able to change the future. However, this story has more focus on an event that happens in the past. Ever wondered what you would do as your 10 year old self if you had all the knowledge you have now? This series delves into that. It really had something going until it was going to reveal the bad guy. The series continuously laid out obvous hints on who the bad one was, which is why it really shouldn't be that person... which it was. From there it was just a matter of lack of excitement. The "thrill" when it comes to the fight between the protagonist and the antagonist was just so freaking bad I wanted to grab the nearest knife and commit sepukku. And it was just so disappointing to learn that the killer was nothing but an unrelatable psychopath.
