Before we get into the details of Erased, also known as Boku dake ga Inai Machi, let me clarify that the Japanese title isn't directly translated to Erased. The true meaning of Boku dake ga Inai Machi is The Town Where Only I Am Missing, so there you have it. Satoru Fujinuma, a 29-year-old pizza delivery guy with a special ability he calls revival, is living a normal life. This ability allows the user to travel back in time and stop a life-threatening incident from occurring.

Satoru's mother comes to take care of her son after one of his revival episodes leaves him injured, but through a series of events, Satoru's mother is murdered, causing Satoru's revival to send him all the way back to 1988. Satoru is shocked by these events and decides that in order to prevent his mother's death in the future, he must first prevent the kidnapping and eventual murder of one of his classmates, Kayo Hinazuki, and in doing so, he will almost certainly discover the identities of both their killers.

He has to sift through all of the clues of an unsolved 18-year-old mystery while in the body of a child but with the brain of a 29-year-old, all while maintaining his school, grades, friends, and relationships, and it's pretty awesome. Erased is one of those animes where you're likely to be completely hooked after just watching the first episode.


This is such an exhilarating anime that it kept me on the edge of my seat, anticipating what would happen in the next episode. Like the first episode of The Promised Neverland, or the first episode of Shingeki No Kyojin or Attack on Titan, and let's not forget the first episode of Tokyo Ghoul, right? Erased is so good that I can't think of another anime that I've enjoyed more in the last 8 years. It's a thought-gripping psychological thriller that also has a great sense of humour.

One thing Erased has going for it is A-1 Pictures' solid animation. It's not flashy, in fact it's very grounded, but it fits the tone of the anime and helps to capture the mysterious and eerie atmosphere. Not to mention that there are some stunning scenes in this anime that made my jaw drop, such as this one where Satoru and Kayo are staring at this tree, which was simply breathtaking. There are some really simple scenes where a character is standing in the snow as it starts to fall and they're just staring at something; it's what you call beauty in its simplicity.

This anime's main plot revolves around the murder of a young girl named Kayo. Satoru, as an adult, is aware that she was murdered, and when he returns to his childhood, he believes that this is the murder that he must put an end to in order for his life to improve. More importantly, so that Kayo can be saved, it was really touching and emotionally affecting to watch this character struggle to connect with this introverted girl in the hopes of saving her life in the long run.

I enjoy the anime because, despite the fact that it is dark, it is about a serial killer who abducts young girls and a young boy who must figure out how to stop it all from happening. The anime does a fantastic job of maintaining a light tone while also being a coming-of-age story, despite the fact that our protagonist has already reached adulthood because he is an adult trapped in a child's body.

So it's an intriguing perspective, and it added to the drama of the situation, making it far more impactful than it would have been if it was just about an adult trying to solve a mystery. But it's a detective story told from the perspective of a child with an adult's brain, and there's also a time-travel element, which makes it truly unique.

It always impresses me when I see something, whether it's a movie, a show, or a Japanese TV show, handle something as dark as the subject matter in this anime while also maintaining a sense of humor and having it all flow perfectly. And I was completely enthralled in Erased from the first episode to the last. Erased is a fantastic mystery anime that kept me engaged and enthralled throughout. I enjoy the characters, the mystery, and the reveal. I'm going to give the anime a 4.8 out of 5 star rating because it was just so well done. I think it's a fantastic Anatomy, and it's without a doubt one of my favorite animes of 2016.

The show's biggest flaw is that I figured out who the killer was about halfway through, and it didn't surprise me at all. There weren't as many options as there should have been in terms of who the killer could be, so when you find out who the killer is, you'll be surprised. I was like, yeah, I figured that out, but it didn't stop me from enjoying the show because the characters were so well-developed and well-rounded that everything else about it piqued my interest, and I don't even want a second season. Some fans are so enamored with the show that they want more. If they do, I'll watch it, but I think the story ended beautifully.

Bago namin makuha ang mga detalye ng Erased, na kilala rin bilang Boku dake ga Inai Machi, hayaan mo akong linawin na ang pamagat ng Hapon ay hindi direktang isinalin sa Burado. Ang totoong kahulugan ng Boku dake ga Inai Machi ay Ang Bayan Kung Saan Lang Ako Nawawala, kaya't mayroon ka nito. Si Satoru Fujinuma, isang 29-taong-gulang na lalaki ang trabaho ay ang paghahatid ng pizza na may isang espesyal na kakayahang tinatawag niyang muling pagkabuhay, ay nabubuhay sa isang normal na buhay. Pinapayagan ng kakayahang ito ang gumagamit na maglakbay pabalik sa oras at ihinto ang pangyayaring makabantang-buhay na maaaring maganap.

Ang ina ni Satoru ay dumating upang alagaan ang kanyang anak matapos ang isa sa kanyang yugto ng muling pagkabuhay ay nag-iwan sa kanya ng nasugatan, ngunit sa pamamagitan ng isang serye ng mga kaganapan, ang ina ni Satoru ay pinatay, na naging sanhi ng muling pagkabuhay ni Satoru na ibalik siya hanggang 1988. Nagulat si Satoru sa mga kaganapang ito at nagpasiya na upang mapigilan ang pagkamatay ng kanyang ina sa hinaharap, dapat niya munang pigilan ang pagkidnap at tuluyang pagpatay sa isa sa kanyang mga kamag-aral na si Kayo Hinazuki, at sa paggawa nito, halos tiyak na matutuklasan niya ang pagkakakilanlan ng taong pumatay sa kanila.

Kailangan niyang salain ang lahat ng mga pahiwatig ng isang hindi nalutas na 18-taong-gulang na misteryo habang nasa katawan ng isang bata ngunit may utak ng isang 29 taong gulang, habang pinapanatili ang kanyang paaralan, mga marka, kaibigan, at mga relasyon, at ito ay napakahusay. Ang nabura ay isa sa mga oras na kung saan malamang na ikaw ay ganap na mai-hook pagkatapos lamang panoorin ang unang yugto.


Ito ay isang nakakaganyak na anime na pinapanatili akong nasasabik, inaasahan kung ano ang mangyayari sa susunod na yugto. Tulad ng unang yugto ng The Promised Neverland, o ang unang yugto ng Shingeki No Kyojin o Attack on Titan, at huwag nating kalimutan ang unang yugto ng Tokyo Ghoul, tama ba? Napakaganda ng nabura na hindi na ako nakakaisip ng isa pang anime na mas nasiyahan ako sa huling 8 taon. Ito ay isang nakakaisip na kilig sikolohikal na thriller na mayroon ding isang mahusay na pagkamapagpatawa.

Ang isang bagay sa Erased na maipagyayabang nito ay sang olidong animasyon ng A-1 Pictures. Hindi ito marangya, sa katunayan ito ay napaka-grounded, ngunit umaangkop ito sa tono ng anime at nakakatulong upang makuha ang mahiwaga at nakakatakot na kapaligiran. Hindi banggitin na may ilang mga nakamamanghang eksena sa anime na ito na bumagsak sa aking panga, tulad ng isang ito kung saan nakatingin sina Satoru at Kayo sa punong ito, na kung saan ay simpleng nakamamanghang. Mayroong ilang mga talagang simpleng mga eksena kung saan ang isang character ay nakatayo sa niyebe habang nagsisimula itong mahulog at nakatingin lang sila sa isang bagay; ito ang tinatawag mong kagandahan sa pagiging simple nito.

Ang pangunahing balak ng anime na ito ay umiikot sa pagpatay sa isang batang babae na nagngangalang Kayo. Si Satoru, bilang isang nasa hustong gulang, ay may kamalayan na siya ay pinatay, at nang bumalik siya sa kanyang pagkabata, naniniwala siya na ito ang pagpatay na dapat niyang wakasan upang umayos ang kanyang buhay. Mas mahalaga, upang mai-save si Kayo, talagang nakakaantig at emosyonal na nakakaapekto na panoorin ang pakikibaka ng tauhang ito upang kumonekta sa introverted na batang babae sa pag-asang mai-save ang kanyang buhay sa pangmatagalan.

Nasisiyahan ako sa anime dahil, sa kabila ng katotohanang madilim ito, ito ay tungkol sa isang serial killer na dumukot sa mga batang babae at isang batang lalaki na dapat malaman kung paano pipigilan ang lahat na mangyari. Ang anime ay gumagawa ng isang kamangha-manghang trabaho ng pagpapanatili ng isang magaan na tono habang pagiging isang kuwento ng darating na edad, sa kabila ng katotohanang ang aming kalaban ay umabot na sa karampatang gulang dahil siya ay isang nasa wastong nakulong sa katawan ng isang bata.

So it's an intriguing perspective, and it added to the drama of the situation, making it far more impactful than it would have been if it was just about an adult trying to solve a mystery. But it's a detective story told from the perspective of a child with an adult's brain, and there's also a time-travel element, which makes it truly unique.

Palagi akong napahanga nito kapag nakakita ako ng isang bagay, pelikula man, palabas, o palabas sa TV sa Hapon, hawakan ang isang bagay na kasing kadilim ng paksa sa anime na ito habang pinapanatili rin ang isang katatawanan at ganap na umaagos ang lahat. At ako ay ganap na nabighani sa Erased mula sa unang yugto hanggang sa huling. Ang nabura ay isang kamangha-manghang anime ng misteryo na nagpatuloy sa akin na makisali at mabilog sa buong paligid. Nasisiyahan ako sa mga tauhan, misteryo, at isiwalat. Bibigyan ko ang anime ng 4.8 out of 5 star rating sapagkat ito ay napakahusay. Sa palagay ko ito ay isang kamangha-manghang Anatomy, at walang alinlangan na isa sa aking paboritong mga anime ng 2016.

Ang pinakamalaking kapintasan sa anime na ito ay naisip ko kung sino ang mamamatay-tao ay halos kalahati pa lamang ng season, at hindi na ako nagulat dito. Walang gaanong karaming pagpipilian kung sino ang maaaring mamamatay-tao, kaya kapag nalaman mo kung sino ang mamamatay-tao, hindi kana magugulat. Ako ay tulad ng, oo, nalaman ko iyon, ngunit hindi ito nakapagpigil sa akin na tamasahin ang palabas dahil ang mga tauhan ay napakahusay na binuo at maayos na ang lahat ng bagay tungkol dito ay umakit sa aking interes, at hindi ko naman ginusto isang pangalawang panahon. Ang ilang mga tagahanga ay labis na nahahanga sa palabas na nais nila ng higit pa. Kung gagawin nila ito, panonoorin ko ito, ngunit sa palagay ko maganda ang pagtapos ng kwento.
