People seem disappointed with the ending. I don't really know why.
>>139179457
People also cuckpost. Why do you value their opinions?
Who cares? Shit show, ending was the best thing about it because Airi was there.
what are other anime is like Erased?
>>139179529
Because people includes me.
>>139179572
Well you're shit and should be ashamed of yourself.
>>139179563
I recommend Kokoro Connect.
>>139179609

>>139179601
No argument there.
>139179457
The entire show was disappointing.
>>139179457
I thought this was one of the most well-rounded well written mystery animes that I have ever seen.
The ending seemed right. He had saved all his childhood acquaintances and had not lost touch with them like he had before and they had become his fiends. He had a well rounded life where his manga was well received and he was a success and even though the one girl in his life that really believed in him did not remember him fate seemed to put them back together when she was old enough that he would not go to jail for loving her.
The end was excellent and game me warm feels in my belly. He had put away childish thing and moved on with his life. I think that was the message of this Anime.
>>139179457
I disappointed because they skip the part that make her really a best girl
seriously what a stupid director. then again I reminded that this stupid director also ruined SAO by rushing the SAO arc so hard that they skipped the entire fucking battle and dragging ALO arc
>>139179457
rushed
>>139179860
>I disappointed because they skip the part that make her really a best girl
Could you refresh my memory, or give me the chapter?
>>139179457
I was disappointed with the whole series.
>>139179457
Because shoehorned Airi.
>>139179563
Also Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day. Does not have the same sort of plot, but the pacing and style remind me of it. Also some of the themes overlap.

Wtf is wrong with you people? Airi is much better compared to Hinazuki. And why should Hinazuki wait for Satoru while it wasn't even fucking known when he will wake up. She needs to live her life too?
I don't understand why this little kids are winning about him not ending with Hinazuki? Let me remind you it was a child love he wants in love with her for the whole of his fucking life.
Airi is perfect she's hot and she cares about Satoru. So kindly fuck off people. And go read the manga because they cut off some important scenes at the hospital where they cut out the role of Airi.
>>139180045
It's because the cuckposters are so detached from anything resembling reality, they seriously believe that a healthy, normal person would wait decades for a childhood infatuation to wake up from a coma so they can continue their relationship.
>>139179860
Think I'll read the manga. I was planning to anyway.

36-39 and almost every interaction between her and Satoru at the beginning
I know they need to grab the audience attention by go straight to the mystery on the first episode, but why the heck they skipped the scene that makes the ending more impactful
>>139180345
Thanks. I think I'll just start from chapter 1 again. Can't remember anything from the manga.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPwVMv8cAO4
>>139180376
>>139180345
also reminder that the director admits that he is a huge Kayo fag that he's intentionally rushed or skipped anything that's not involved her including the ending, Satoru's memory loss, Yashiro's back story, Kenya and Sawada investigation about Yashiro, and most of Airi's screen time in order to make Kayo's episode looks good
>>139180045
...well yeah, I agree.
>>139180045
retarded
>>139180498
Well that'd explain why I thought Airi had a bigger presence in the manga.
>>139180498
If he was true Kayofag he would make an original ending with SatoruXKayo. Fucking faggot.
>>139179457
They have poor taste.
>>139179563

>>139179986
Thank you LURK MORE READ THE RULES, you are my personal hero.
>>139179563
this scene reminds me of Boku no Pico
The problem is Airi had too little screen time for her to develop as a character, so in the end she looked like nothing more than a consolation prize for the MC. I know it's the limitation of 12-episdes, but understanding the reason doesn't make the problem go away.
As for those who keep saying ntr and cuck, well they are just idiots so their opinions are invalid.

It's the perfect anime for kids who liked Erased
So how does Satoru get 8 years of missed school approved, does he pull a Billy Madison? That's a good movie pitch, by the way.
>>139180692
because they need to portrays manga's ending
making Satoru X Kayo ending would make the ending different from the manga
I mean what if the anime ending is different, than there will be no more post about cuck, NTR, suck ending thing.
>>139181202
It wouldn't change anything.
>>139179949

>>139179834
The message to me is "go out and make connections. It figuratively and literally saves your life."
I also liked the exploration of age gaps in building friendships. Wish more was done with the fact that it was a 29 year old man befriending and having fun with a bunch of school kids.ending was goofy.

She helped raise money for his medical treatment and visited as soon as she was able, her very appearance as someone happy and in good health being enough to make him cry in joy. Despite this, she harbored guilty in the back of her mind that it wasn't right for her to be happy when the person to whom this happiness is owed is in a Coma.
What more should she have done for her saviour?

>>139181948
I think you missed the obvious greentext:

Because Satoru ended up with some nobody and not with this cute ex-bully.

>>139182260
Did you? He was a failed manga artist Worked as a delivery boy in a pizza place..
>>139182375
No, but it was unexpected.
Satoru is actually the bad guy.
>>139182366
>>139182410
He failed because his manga lacked something (feelings, motivation, whatever). That didn't mean he had devian-art-tier drawings, you dumbasses
>>139182410
As an artist he had skills, but his story telling ability was where he lacked.. his experiences with Kayo, Airi, and his friends gave him the ability and more importantly the confidence to be a good story teller.
A good writer draws from personal experience
>>139182410
Yeah, but he obviously knew how to draw if he attempted to be one, the editor on the first episode told him the problem was with not showing himself in his stories or something like that.
>yfw in the end Satoru had memories from two different childhoods and two different adulthoods at once
>>139182513
Not exactly, he slept thru those 15 years so he didn't really experience two childhoods, only those few weeks 3 times.
>>139182603

This is 3DPD tier, I don't know how anyone can defend it.
underrated post, couldn't agree more
went back and read chapters 36-39 and was way happier with how they involved Airi in the story
Satoru's mom's lips were the only good part of this show.
It was rushed and obvious.
Anyone with a I.Q higher than 80 would of figured out that the teacher was the killer by the 3rd episode.
>>139184223
This. Also,
>why do you have candy in your car?
>b-because I really like candy
>oh ok
>>139183647
Life is cruel.
Airi is best girl. It was a perfectly satisfactory ending.
I thought it was a pretty good show, but I really never got to grips with the mystery, because I figured out who it was who committed the murders at the very first OP. It's that guy who looks like the killer...OH IT ACTUALLY WAS HIM.
Oh and Airi is best girl
Kayo is best girl, if you disagree you're a faggot.
>>139184041
>saves best friend
>saves cute future waifu
>gets fucking cucked by best friend
Fuck this man.
I still can't figure out how they failed to trace Satoru's drowning to Yashiro. He drowned in a rental car, after all. Do they not keep records or shit?
>>139183647
Women do not invest in men anymore.
Cuckposting aside,
The whole premise of this show(for better or for worse) is that Satoru is able to redo his past whenever the universe deems him able to save someone.
He went back to his childhood twice, the first time he failed and returned to his original timeline. The second time felt like it should have been a failure, Satoru fell into a coma for 15 years and yet somehow the killer didn't want to do shit until he woke up. Just like with all other time travel, at some point you get too hung up on which reality is real while none of the characters themselves seem to care.
80% of the show was about Satoru saving Kayo, they don't have to end up fucking but it would be nice to see more introspection at the end rather than relying on us /a/utists to infer what they were going for. This anime stumbled into quite a bit of mainstream popularity, so expect newfriends sucking "Erased"'s cock from now until the end of time.
>>139184638
>they don't have to end up fucking
Satoru's mum was cockblocking otherwise they would have done.
>>139182371
>source material
What the fuck do you expect?
>>139184865
An anime that is as good as the source material.

>>139184638
Yes it would be perfect for a 29 year old guy in a 10 year olds body to manipulate a 10 year old girl to have sex with him in the future. Nothing creepy about that right?
> /a/utists to infer what they were going for
Stop projecting.
> so expect newfriends sucking "Erased"'s cock from now until the end of time.
Ending was terrible and felt rushed. I can imagine people won't be happy recommending something like that.
>>139182910

>>139185097

>>139184201
And that ass.. damn that ass
Revival should have been explained. Seriously, an ability that allows you to travel back and rewrite time? That shit should have been expanded on. Do other people have this ability? Where does it come from? Why does only Satoru have it?
The plot, simply, was too ambitious for the writer to handle and wrap up at the ending.
>>139186988
It didn't need to be explained. It would have added nothing to Satoru's personal story, which was the shows focus.
Besides, the revivals ending was one of the best parts of the conclusion.
>>139179563
the butterfly effect
>>139187157
Without any logical explanation for why it exists in the first place, the story just has a wish-fulfillment sticker on it. So this 29-year-old pizza driver can go backwards into time and fix all of his mistakes, and finally, he's now a successful manga artist with tons of friends and living a satisfied life? There's no consequence to it and the fact that Revival's out of his control makes it feel like a story made for self-inserting into.
>>139187251
I think even if the show spent just one episode explaining the revival, it would have been labeled as filler. Besides, it's better to leave a mystery like that in a show like this unsolved. If you get to wrapped up the the rules of a fictional world you would end up with something totally different than just a personal story. The show kept it's focus, (more or less) throughout and it's stronger because of it.
>>139179563
Ghost Trick
>>139187453
Any explanation episode for Revival would be weak because there's really no plausible way to make the audience believe there's a reason why only Satoru, some random guy in a world populated by billions, can time travel. The foundation for the story itself is weak and it makes Erased's world less immersive and its plot less believable as a result.
The fact that Erased has a strong early storyline is simply due to that the writer was great at writing childhood interaction. The writer should have stuck to a more-grounded story, rather than shoehorn in the time-travel aspect so that he could appeal to an audience that wishes they could go back and fix their regrets.
>>139187841
Anime and Japanese fictional media in general doesn't spend as much time on explanations as Western media does. They just throw you into a world will oddities, sometimes without so much as a backstory. Whether or not this is a better storytelling method is subjective but that's just the way it is.
Besides, this isn't a story about the world Satoru inhabits, it's a story about Satoru. Therefore the audience doesn't need to know why the revival happens to him, they just need to know that it happens.
>>139179771

Good joke.
Some writers are autistic about this, and others don't give a fuck.
Here, the author had no idea of what he was doing so he kept changing the rules to make his ongoing serie more interesting.
>>139184916
There's anime better than the source material.
Well, I've seen it for manga, never for LN/VN.

You are seriously projecting here. The time travel aspect is vital to MCs ability to fight the serial killer, without it the story wouldn't work. Not everything needs 20 minutes of technobable exposition to prove scientific plasuability to autismos like you.
Would you this pizza, /a/non?

Don't focus on that. Focus on her.
Because they only showed Airi for like, 30 seconds. What the fuck. This is a fucking travesty. I expected her to pop up by 1/4 of the episode.
She deserves more than what this series has given her.
They didn't get to eat the pizza on the way.
>>139180198

why didn't he just bring the cops while sensei was rape/killing Kayo
>>139189026
Is she even a pizza girl any more? She looked more like some kind of photographer.
What happened to the little boy he saved from the truck? In the final timeline, he wasn't there to save him. And I doubt anything he did to change the past would keep that from happening. So I order to save his friends and his mom he sacrificed the little boy.
I guess the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
>>139179457
It was a bad end. Airi and Satoru dont have history together in this timeline.To her, he's just a weird 29-year old who woke up from a long coma. so... no job, no records, no diplomas, no credentials. Satoru is gonna live the full NEET experience. And Airi will date some qt high school boy.
One way to salvage it is if Misato and Satrou end up together. He'd be such a burden to her though.
>>139190399

Satoru was most likely a virgin as well. HAH , fuck kayo.
Why didn't the director just go with his own Kayo ending scenario for the later episodes?
I bet he wanted to do so but the author didn't allow him to and shoved his self-insert wish fulfillment garbage to the director.
That's how this "Airi ending" came in, I guess.

It's nothing too presumptuous or advanced to say that if you're gonna give a protagonist some ridiculous ability like time-traveling back 15 years in an otherwise normal world, you're gonna need to explain some of that shit on a higher level. 11/22/63 did it in the ending, other time-travel stories can do it too, as long as the writer isn't a lazy talentless piece of shit.

>>139179457
How many dicks has Airi sucked by then?
Everyone whining over Hinazuki not waiting for Satoru seems to have missed the entire point of this show. It was a coming of age story more than a romance. Satoru's goal was to prevent the murder of his friends and save his mother. Through this, he also found himself and gained confidence. If Hinazuki spent 15 years waiting for him, when he might never even wake, it would have kind of destroyed her having a good life.
Him meeting up with Airi at the end was a good way for him to still get some lovin too.
Fuck all you sad, BEST GIRL BEST GIRL!!!! SHE'S IMPURE, A WITCH, BURN HER!!! Anons that dominate /a/ nowadays. You're all pathetic lonely fucks who can't appreciate a show unless it fills the romance and PURE LOVE missing in your own lives.

good ending
The ending was okay, but still dissapointing. They skipped over Yashiros past with his brother (i.e. his fucking motivation for murdering in the first place).
I like the ending sequence though, where they all drink together and are happy.

Airi is best girl.
>>139179457
Because the whole show was a complete clusterfuck and it's extremely obvious that the author himself had no idea where the story was going. Remember the promise Satoru and Kayo made to see the tree on the hill together again? Was completely ignored later. Airis character in the new timeline? Literally not explored at all. Senseis obsession over Satoru? Came out of fucking nowhere, 3/4 of his characterization from the manga was dropped. Kumi-Chan? Degraded to a pure plot device with otherwise no significance for the story. And then when Satoru somehow had to meet Airi again, they just added a lazy "lol they meet again by chance" ending and gave the blue butterflies the addtional power to let him notice her, very convenient of course.
What irks me is that Satoru is perfectly fine with wasting 15 years of his mothers life.
He saved her life, sure. But in turn, he shackled her to his bed. She spent all that time caring for him, and basically threw her own life away.
Satoru is perfectly fine with that for some reason, though? There is no hint of remorse at that fact, either in the manga or the anime. Yet, a big keystone of Satorus character is his love for his mother.
Anyone else bothered by this?
I mean I didn't expect much from the branch but like goddamn Satoru's dialog was borderline cringy during his confrontation with Yashiro.
I'm pissed they just outright changed the hero's quote from the manga too because I really liked it.
>>139198087
that bothered me too
for someone who loved their mother so much, there really wasn't much affection he showed her after waking up. she clearly got emotional at various points (e.g. when he talked about grabbing the bull by its horns) and he barely even reacted to her.
>>139179457
>muh ntr
>much best girl didn't win
>>139197886
Seconded
Well to be fair, comas are an ultra-lame trope to make use of in story-telling.
>>139198087
Not really. I mean sure she lost 15 years of her life and hoped to see her son again and ultimately did, as opposed to dying, losing her whole life and never seeing her son again. I think Satoru got her the best outcome to be honest.
>>139198087
Satoru can't control Revival. Revival probably exists for the sole reason of solving the case from 15 years ago and it's gone for good after he saved everyone.
While I feel bad for Satoru's mom, everyonr know she is pretty strong women, she believed from her heart that Satoru would wake up. So I guess she wasnt in state of despire at least.
>>139199226
Either outcome is not satisfying at all. One she gets to raise her son and dies. The other she misses out being a parent and raising her son, but lives.
>>139199521
My point is that Satoru himself doesn't feel remorse for what he put his mother through. At least it isn't shown in any shape or form.
>>139199226
The author felt bad about having Satoru's mom take care of him for 15 years with no news of him waking up. So he had Satoru's brain start working after 9 years, it's so stupid.
>>139184041
Had less to do with Kayo, specifically, dying and more to do with his failed childish dreams of wanting to become a hero. Hiromi dying probably had a bigger impact on him than Kayo did. It was only 18 years later, as he was musing over the memories he'd suppressed, that he realized he might have been able to do something to help Kayo, and that is when he started to obsess over the thing.
It has always been odd to me how Satoru fixated on saving Kayo, when his friend Hiromi and another girl were also murdered. Kayo's death may have subconsciously led to his complex, but it wasn't like he became a shitty human being as a result of only her demise. He just saw saving her as a domino effect that would save everybody. He barely knew anything about her except that she was someone who needed saving. What his adventure allowed him to do was actually get to know the person of Kayo Hinazuki, and, in turn, allowed him to get closer to his friends, become the hero he wanted to be, and not become a shitty human being.
>>139199521
>Revival
You are now realizing that all the first timeline instances where Satoru used Revival to save the lives of random people are now all undone by this timeline change, meaning all those people he saved before are now dead.
Kayo, Hiromi, the other girl, and his mom in exchange for how many other lives?
>>139199791
I don't know about the remorse thing, but he certainly knows that he is in his mother debt for life. He even said in the anime that if it's okay with him to not remember a thing if that's his mother wish. Satoru is providing for his mother now that he is succefull mangaka. That won't pay her for thes 15 years but I still she would be have a happy and comfy life with her son from now on.

They don't care, the majority of the people who defend the plot devices and story post coma only cared about having Airi end up with the MC. I don't see why they adamantly defend this besides for this reason.
>>139200209
Yashiro caused it all. Even that truck accident in episode 1. Every near-accident Satoru prevented was his fault. That's gotta be it.
>>139200647
I agree
>>139200088
>It has always been odd to me how Satoru fixated on saving Kayo
It's because he specifically saw her in the park the night she was killed and could have potentially stopped the chain of murders if he'd just walked up to her and asked to walk home together. From his perspective as a child, he was a hair's breadth away from saving everyone but he missed the opportunity and that regret is what was eating him up inside.
>>139182756
underrated post
>>139182756
The truth, lots of people will argue about how they had it coming when Airi was the obvious end, but she was literally a side character in the anime that focused on Kayo.

I think most people were more ticked by how things lead up to the ending. They cut out and rearranged a lot of stuff from the manga especially regarding sensei & Airi.
I doubt it would all fit in just 12 episodes anyways.

That's everything I can think of.

You say that as if he chose this outcome.
Remorse? What do you want him to do? Kill himself?

That's just it though, it was TOO obvious. I was sure it was a red herring and as such got a bit disappointed when it actually WAS him.

Yes, it's quite tragic. I guess we can attribute his lack of reaction to him not getting the flashback we saw. It would however have been nice to have a scene with him making peace with the fact and maybe even gaining resolve from it.
>>139182756
>muh shipping
For fuck's sake. This is one of the very rare shows that actually knows it's way around tone and substance. One fo the rare cases where a show is more than just a fucking horserace between girls with ever-repeating personalities. And faggots like you just simply cannot see it. You have to have your fucking "debates" over who is "best girl" and should "win". Fucking imbeciles.
Yes, I wnt in with no spoilers. Yes, I thought they were going to end up together. But if it makes more sense for the plot to evolve in a different direction, then I have the modicum of insight necessary to accept that. Just because a show doesn't pander to my expectations 24/7 that doesn't mean it is bad.
Now take your cuck meme and fuck off.

I wanted them to either die or get married by the end, sensei and satoru that is.
Best ending would have been if Sensei jumped without looking and crushed Satoru. Would have been Anime of All Time
So guys I dropped it after episode 8. It lost its charm.
Did something happen?
>>139207621
It ended
What the fuck was even the final confrontation about
"hurr you're about to kill me right here right now but in actuality you don't want to kill me even though you already tried once but i survived for some bullshit reason"
"WHAT NO THAT'S WRONG BUT NO YOU'RE RIGHT!!! I WILL KILL YOU AND THEN KILL MYSELF BECAUSE I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT YOU!!"
Literally what? I genuinely don't get it.
