Episodes 1-8 = god tier
Episodes 9+ = flaccid as fuck
What happened?
Based author BTFO all the self-inserting shipping faggots
The show shifted its focus.
Kayo and her relationship with Satoru was what made the show interesting and endearing. The "murder mystery" has been obvious for a long time and not nearly as intriguing.
5/10 show
6/10 manga
>>138994777
It was shit since Day 1
>>138994844
Do you have any self-awareness?
>>138994879
this desu
I wanted her smile to be protected. once it was sufficiently protected, I stopped caring.
>>138994777
More like episodes 1-4 = god tier
Episodes 5+ = garbage
>>138995218
Episode 8 is pretty dank
>>138994879
>constantly hint to the teacher being the culprit
>make it painfully obvious in every scene
>"there's no way it's the teacher, they wouldn't be so blatant"
>it's actually the teacher
Episodes 1-10 Shit tier
Episode 11 God tier
It was never good.
>>138996121
It was always good.
overrated but good so far
why do people review a show before it's finished
5 and 6 were absolute dogshit though.
why does everyone say "cuck"
they were just kids, they were never in a relationship. his fault for getting in a coma honestly. how are you gonna wait 15 years for a childhood friend when there's sweet boypussy right nearby
saving someone's life doesn't owe you a lifelong commitment to love
>>138996521
The people throwing "cuck" around are manchildren who think faking tempur tantrums are fun.
Another pretty good show that /a/ hates because it's popular.
>>138996806
as soon as kayo left the picture it nose dived instantly
a 12 episode show with 8 amazing episodes and 4 meh ones is still a pretty good show desu.
>>138997277
Not when the 4 meh ones at the end. That's just blueballing you.
I'd take 8 shit episodes for 4 amazing ending episodes.
Honestly, I'mean not so upset about it being 'cuckoldry', even though I wouldn't cosnider what happened cuckoldry. The show tried its hardest to be extremely realistic, have realistic relationships, etc. And, in the process, they destroyed so much build up for a pairing that got no foreshadowing or teasing. It'seems like Tai and Sora in the original Digimon sort of, how there was so much build up to a relationship that didn't pan out, and it ended up blueballing everyone. I wouldn't consider myself a shipfag, but I think that one of the good things about fiction is that since you can dictate what happens, you can do this build up and create these borderline impossible scenarios of a 10 year old girl waiting 15 years for someone to come out of a coma. Or at the very least, include some build up to the other relationship, too.
>>138998008
wew
>>138998008
>for a pairing that got no foreshadowing or teasing
There's 15 years of plot we didn't see.
A lot happens between age 11 and age 26.
You're supposed to feel blindsided like Satoru. How did this happen? What the hell did I miss?
>>138997277
Full of flaws and a dumb premise but the first half was engaging. Now it's just dumb.
>>138995710
>MC totally didn't see it coming
>>138998320
I agree, although I'm still waiting to see how they end it before I make a final judgment.
Once Kayo leaves I realized "wow I actually don't care about this murder mystery subplot because I already know who it is at this point"
MAL jerking off to it is what happened. I liked the manga and anime but it's nothing more than an 8/10 and that score is pushing it.
>god tier
>>>/reddit/
>>138998453
the top review on MAL is a 4/10 guy who basically said "I'm reviewing this show at episode 4 but why are these characters not fleshed out, why are things not explained???"
>>138998485
>138998485
Yeah but most of the people reviewing the show and giving scores are like the ones after the 4/10 guy
>be episode 4
>"While we have only just scratched the surface of this deep plot"
>deep plot
>>138998485
>>138998600
I think the moral here is "don't write a review before a show is finished". Or at least before 1 cour is finished.
I like the manga more but the anime looks so fucking good. I love how they drew the characters there and I like the color palette they mostly use.
>>138998453
it was legit 9/10 before kayo left
>>138994777
They rushed the fuck out of everything after Kayo was rescued
![[HorribleSubs] Boku dake ga Inai Machi - 08 [720p].mkv_snapshot_14.02.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/KworXaI.jpg "[HorribleSubs] Boku dake ga Inai Machi - 08 [720p].mkv_snapshot_14.02.jpg")
I would let myself get cucked to make her smile.
>>138994777
>The same fucking img again
STAAAAAP
Like the anime but there are so many scenes I missed and I am not even talking about Sensei's past and stuff like that. They skipped tons of things from the very beginning.
Episodes 1-4 = Cute heartwarming loli/shota romance
Episodes 5-6 = I believe you because my dad stole a chocolate bar
Episodes 7-10 = Close to no longer caring
Episode 11 = Given up all hope on a decent ending
I hope you're ready for a predictable finale that never makes Airi relevant.
>>138999469
>I believe you because my dad stole a chocolate bar
for fucks sake
she believed him because she can sense when people are innocent and wants to give the benefit of the doubt to people she cares about
Damn I always wanted to see an anime version of shota Yashiro.
>>138999576
Looking forward to the explanation of why some characters have supernatural powers. Especially when they seem to correspond to plot conveniences that explain character motives that are otherwise nonsensical.
>>138995218
I wouldn't exaggerate so much by saying they were garbage, but I definitely agree that the first 4 episodes were the best.
It becomes increasingly clear that after those episodes, they had trouble cramming the rest of the story into 12 episodes, it was a little disappointing.
I mean, I can recall 2 moments where we get some kind of revelation, and a character explains how they were thinking in a way that makes it seem like they said it a few episodes ago, when it happened in the same fucking episode, 10 minutes ago, like "remember that time this character said this? foreshadowing!" but it literally just happened at the beginning of the episode I'm watching, that wasn't clever at all, or at least it didn't feel that way because of how the series was paced.
I wasn't surprised at all when I found out it's directed by the SAO guy, he must have a knack of rushing through whatever story he works on. A better director would have handled the series a whole lot better I think.
>>138999692
>why some characters have supernatural powers
She doesn't LITERALLY sense innocence. She has good intuition. That's not a superpower.
>>138999733
Sounds more like the author has a supernatural power called "lazy writing"
>>138999757
There's farfetched stuff in the show but that's one of the lamest complaints I've seen. She trusted her dad when no one else would, she trusts Satoru when no one else will. It's that cut and dry.
>>138999637
I'm disappointed, too. There might be a character design page or concept art somewhere in the studio that just didn't make it to the show.
Why did they have to make the villain some kind of generic edgelord? Would have been better if he was just a child molester.
I didn't expect the author to be an ex-assistant of Araki. His drawing style looks nothing like anything in Jojo.
>>138995218
I'm surprised no one called him out on calling episode 4 god tier. Fucking retards and their shit opinions.
>>139000230
Then the police could easily catch him because of the DNA from sperm, etc...
>>139001091
In 1988?
A lot of people complain about how the anime diverged from the manga when the manga near the end was dragged out and declining. The only interesting aspect about it was Satoru and his relationship with the 1988 characters after that it went to shit.
When did Yashiro start killing lolis himself? Volume 4 showed that he was already about to kill that one girl when Satoru was only 5 or something.
>>138994879
That's why the director focused on Kayo the most in the anime he understood that was the selling point.
>>139001316
I think the manga author must have too, since the title is taken from Kayo's school assignment.
Anime is and was shit, manga is pretty bad too, don't listen to those reddit shitters
plot devices everywhere, rampant plot armor, rushed scenes and in the case of the manga, dragged out conclusions, stupid MC, bullshit power with no explanaton whatsover
Pathetic
>>139001359
>bullshit power with no explanaton whatsover
Why is this bad?
>>139001359
The how and why of his power don't really matter in the story though because they aren't really the focus, the focus is on stopping the murders/saving loli Kayo.
If it was a story about how he suddenly developed that power and him dealing with it for the first time and the focus was on it, then some explaination would be warranted.
![[HorribleSubs] Boku dake ga Inai Machi - 11 [1080p].mkv_snapshot_11.02_[2016.03.17_21.59.51].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/9Ngi7di.jpg "[HorribleSubs] Boku dake ga Inai Machi - 11 [1080p].mkv_snapshot_11.02_[2016.03.17_21.59.51].jpg")
>>139001359
Honestly if they explained why he has this power it would just bore me and waste time.
He has a chinese cartoon power. All that needs to be said.
>>139001502
"kill me please"
it should have just been a show about rescuing an abused girl and the dramatic mishaps that come along the way
>>139001422
Because it's a ullshit power with no explanation whatsoever and therefore it is used as a shitty plot device
for example, why did it activated when he was being dragged off to jail in the future but not when he was drowning back in 2006?
>>139001482
There needs to be some kind of explanation, it doesn't needs to take the central stage but it at least needs to be explained, otherwise we get vague shit like what I explained before and the power can just be used as a shitty plot device
The mystery completely sucked anyway
>>139001502
They don't need to make a boring and drawn out explanation, they just needed to explain how his power works and at least set up something that could have triggered that in him or something, it doesn't needs to be something that is main to the story
>>139001822
Meant to say 1988, not 2006
>>139001713
>kill me please
Someone should change the subs for this scene.
How is based Kenya single but the trap got the best girl.
>>139000675
>That pic
It would have been so good
>>139001422
It's bad because it's brought up as if he has some sort of control over it, and yet doesn't use it like he should, when in the beginning it was stated he didn't.
>>139002022
Kenya is a good guy despite seeming shifty all series. He's not gonna cuck his man.
But why didn't the adult Kayo say bakanano?
>>139001757
Agree. Skipping back to the future was where the show lost its way.
I was actually hoping there would be some kind of conflict involving Kayo not wanting to be separated from Satoru once she learned she was going to be sent away, and maybe being unwilling or uncooperative for that reason.
>>139002052
Oh she does alright, every night when Hiromi's pounding her.
What the hell was up with that promise to visit the tree in the summer together. Just to fuck with us?
>>139002022
Kenya was too busy actually caring about his friend and trying to solve the case to settle down.
>>139002022
Because bitches ain't shit but hoes and tricks.
>>139002115
i think it was just a way of satoru saying "don't give up hope, i'm gonna be here for you the whole time" etc etc
something to look forward to in the future so she doesn't give up
>>139002098
But I need to hear her say it.
Does Airi even exist as a character in this timeline?
He's been in a coma which means he never got a job at the pizza place.
>>139002191
Yeah it does and if it follows the manga ending she will appear at the end so the cuck MC doesn't dies as a pathetic virgin
>>139002191
Who is Airi
>>139002227
Cute pizza delivery girl.
>>139002243
Eh?
Kayo and Hiromi's relationship was founded on bonding over her childhood crush's coma.
Say that out loud
>>139002243
Oh right, she was a thing huh.
>>139002191
They are supposed to meet in the hospital, but that scene was changed so it's uncertain if she will show.
>/a/ thought timetravel helps
>>139002089
I was mainly interested in the whole killer stuff so I had no problem with Kayo being safe but I prefer the 1988 way over the present as well. I just prefer the atmosphere it had there and the relationships. Even the killer feels way more threatening in the 80s than later, especially since the author made him stop killing lolis after the rerun or else there wouldn't be an actual happy end but I didn't really believe this and I doubt an actual psychopath like him would stop killing people and only care about some personal nemesis-boy for the rest of his life just because he survived an attack .
>>139002369
the ending of this movie is metal as fuckhe realizes time travel sucks and ruins everything so he goes back in time to when he was a fetish and chokes himself on the umbilical cord
>>139002423
A FETUS NOT A FETISH
FREUD
>>138999757
You can call her stupid and naive if that makes you feel better.
>Chocolate shit
>God tier
>>139002423
That was the directors cut edition
>They had to create another soft ending for the theatres because people kept walking out fucked up
Made more sense anyway with his brothers wll dying in the womb too
>>139002423
>when he was a fetish
Holy shit.
>>139002423
Anon, we know we have lolicons on this board....but a fetus as a fetish? Isn't that pushing it?
>>139001822
It works by sending him back an indeterminate amount of time.
It works randomly.
Boom, done.
Sensei confirmed for being better than Kenya.
>>139002022
Why do you think he's single?
The only reason Kayo is there is because she knows him and they are friends.
>>138994777
More like:
First 6 episodes=7/10.
Last 6 episodes=5-6/10 (being pretty biased/lenient here).
>>138994777
It was built on a weak foundation from the start, it was just the later episodes that made it obvious. The most obvious issues being
>poorly set up mystery with too few suspects and too obvious a killer
>focusing on the wrong romantic interest
>no in universe explanation for supernatural elements and it became clear that it was just an arbitrary plot device
>>139002030
>as if he has some sort of control over it
This is never mentioned anywhere.
He specifically says he has no idea how or why, just that he senses when it's about to happen.
>>139002664
I thought the first half was REALLY good, like an 8.5
>>139002673
>thinking a mystery is good for the mystery part and not the suspense
go back to your agatha christie novels you pleb
>>139002699
Does he know when it's about to happen? He pretty much wills it when he's being arrested, and talks about how it's his last chance. That line alone is out of place.
>>139002943
He wills it into happening that one time.
And he presumably he says it's his last chance because he's never managed to will it into happening before so there's no chance that it will happen again.
>>139002776
There's no fucking suspense when you know who it is and his big reveal is cartoon villain tier.
>>139002943
He doesn't fucking will it.
He just pleads for it to happen.
He explains all this in the first fucking scene.
Why don't you fuckers pay attention?
>Doesn't get together with the girl his age who was the most relevant had development and formed a bond with.
> Gets together with young barley legal girl that has no idea who he is.
>>139001757
FUCKING THIS
It could have been a hot 8 but it's down to a warm 7 depending on how the ending is.
>>139003058
You literally have no idea what suspense is.
Suspense comes from dramatic irony. It's not a fucking jump scare.
>>139003092
i literally don't know what characters you're referring to
>>139003092
>Doesn't get together with the girl his age who was the most relevant had development and formed a bond with.
Formed a bond with for about two weeks and then went into a coma for 15 years.
Just because he saved her doesn't mean she's going to completely ignore all men until he wakes up when there's no indication that he ever will.
Just for fun, can you imagine something that would happen in Episode 12 that would completely redeem this show?
>>139003092
>>Doesn't get together with the girl his age who was the most relevant had development and formed a bond with.
He was in a coma for 15 years. She's married to trapkid.
>>139003160
He gets into a fight with the teacher on the roof, it leads to the teacher throwing him off the roof. Mid fall he prays for another revival, and it works. HeENDS UP 65 MILLION YEARS IN THE PAST
>>139003092
>Gets together with girl he knew for a month 15 years ago
That sounds reasonable anon.
>>139002943
Weren't the eyes of the killer the trigger there? He jumped when he saw the eyes and associated the image with the memory of the killer standing in the shadow in that shack when Satoru was a little child.
>>139003232
WE WUZ DINOSAURS
The coma is literally a cheap way the author can do a revival after he made sure to let everyone know there would be no more revivals.
R U I N E D

>>139003327
>he made sure to let everyone know there would be no more revivals
He didn't do that though.
>>139002613
And therefore it can work as a plot armor or device whenever the author wants it
boom, bad writing
>>139003160
Sensei killing Satoru. Or the extreme opposite like another final jump in which Satoru manages to drown Yashiro in 1988. Or just something completely different nobody ever expected.
It was never god tier.
>>139003377
He did that, did you miss the part where Satoru said this would be his last revival
>>139003418
yes
Also how would Satoru know?
Unless he is narrating after the fact in which case it would not happen again.
IT'S NOT NTR
THEY WERE NEVER IN A RELATIONSHIP
B A K A N A N O
>>139003368
Fuck off /v/.
>>139003472
It doesn't matter if anon's autistic boner was hooked.
>>139003477
oh god that code
>>139001422
My main confusion is that in the first episode when they're introducing Satoru and the premise they explain revival and how Satoru occasionally ends up 1 to 5 minutes back in time to fix something.
But then they never ever use it again. It literally hasn't happened beyond the first episode despite them introducing it like its the hook. Why the fuck did they even mention the 1 to 5 minute revivals when they've been completely irrelevant. You should not have that and nothing about the show would need to change to any significant degree.
At first I assumed that perhaps the manga had been running for a while with the premise and the anime just picked up well after the starting point of the manga, and that in the manga he'd been going through 1 to 5 minute revivals for a while and time travel was a game changing shift in an established story, but nope. I've begun to wonder if the writer did it purely to made Satoru spend less time trying to figure out what was going when when he went back in time to his childhood since he's already familiar with shorter distance time travel, but that seems wildly unnecessary.
It's just bizarre.
>>139003160
Satoru becoming the second serial killer.
>>139003472
>My childhood friend who I promised to be together forever with actually went off and fucked my best friend after I risked my life aswell as completely ruined it
>I like it
>>139003469
That's what makes it bad writing anon.. He jut assumed he wouldn't get any more chances and it was setup that way so he could go into the coma without doing a revival to save himself
>>139003588
>Hey, please wait 15 years and stand over my comatose body while you masturbate with the corner of a table because I was nice to you for a month during our childhoods
>>139003556
What the fuck are you babbling about?
Are you confused he has no smaller revivals during a longer one?
It was clearly introduced.
He had this power for a while and one day it launched him back way more than usual.
What the fuck is so difficult?
>>139003626
You know she could of lived a happy life with all the benefits and just never got married right
![[HorribleSubs]_Boku_dake_ga_Inai_Machi_-_07_[1080p].mkv_snapshot_18.25_[2016.02.21_01.26.26].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/76fmrGU.jpg "[HorribleSubs]_Boku_dake_ga_Inai_Machi_-_07_[1080p].mkv_snapshot_18.25_[2016.02.21_01.26.26].jpg")
>>139003472
They were.
They loved each other.
But the author attempted to make it okay by giving him another bitch.
>>139003697
>Gets married to the guy she bangs
>call her a slut
>Bangs guys without getting married
>it's fine
Once again the line you draw confuses me.
The only explanation is blatant self insertion.
>>139003688
Why though? Why are the short revivals even a thing? They're completely irrelevant to the plot and haven't happened past episode 1. Why make a point of including them?
It'd be like me writing a murder mystery where in episode 1 I introduce that the protagonist has gills and can breathe underwater but then never have him swim past the first episode.
Dogs are more loyal than 2D women
>>139003806
Because they are an introduction to his powers and also his character?
Why are you trying to make this difficult?
>>139003850
It's easier to make them lick your dick too.
>>139003688
The whole time travel thing would have been better with less explanations. It was explained just enough that it stopped being tolerable. It's suddenly based around him and that one incident as opposed to being random. Why did he go back to the present after he failed to save Kayo the first time, and why didn't he go back after he fell in the pond?
>>139003884
>Because they are an introduction to his powers
Powers that he doesn't use outside of episode 1.
It's a pointless inclusion.
As a strong independent black woman, why should I settle for some random guy I met during my childhood who went into a 15 year coma for me?
He has the mentality of a 9yo, no chamce at a job, probably never touched his dick.
Don't settle for less gurls
The first episode of this is the best first episode that has ever been done in an anime.
Prove me wrong.
>>139003762
Different anon you idiot
>>138994777
Episodes 1-8 = pretty sweet
Episodes 9-10 = i'm glad that the plot is not limited to the romance only
Episodes 11 = oh shit you've slept for 15 years but everyone continued their life. man, you did it. and your life will going on too
>>139003996
I hated the first episode and dropped it until people convinced me to give it another shot. I'm glad I did because episodes 2-8 were amazing.
>>139003948
the whole fucking show is based around his powers you idiot
Are you like the retards that claim microevolution exists but not macroevolution?
Do you not even know the meaning of the word extrapolation?

>>139003978
Once you get past the 5 year mark it's pretty safe to say that he's dead.
And she waited at least that long.
I don't know why but I prefer shota Satoru way over his adult version. He should have defeated Yashiro as a child and relive the 80s and 90s.
>>139004036
You fucked up that, it's supposed to go
Episodes 1-8 = fap to cute girls
Episodes 9-10 = fap to trap
Episodes 11 = rage on /a/
>>139004082
The 1 to 5 minute revivals have not been used at all outside of episode 1 and have had no impact on the plot. They literally have no reason to exist and are just a bizarre and pointless inclusion that only serve to needlessly muddy the plot.
>>139004170
the 1 to 5 minute revivals are exactly the same as his 15 year old revivals
You gigantic pile of human refuse
How about one more rewind with never letting Kayo go and finishing the sensei?
>>139004251
because random plot element can only be used for plot
>>139004205
It's chekhov's gun and if they don't get used in a meaningful way before the end then it was shitty writing to include them.
If they aren't going to use them at all then they should have just gone straight to time travelling back to 1988.
>>138994879
kinda agree, but they still have Airi, Kayo was never a love interest imo, hopefully they don't fuck over her character
>>139004306
I'm very disappointed in my self that I fell for this bait for so long.
You can leave now.
Nothing, it was medicore from the get go. First episode was the best.
>Satoru's mom reaches out to touch Kayo and she flinches
>>139004386
What bait?
>Episode 1 - Satoru crashes his bike, his Mom worried about him comes to visit and notices an attempted abduction getting herself murdered, Satoru tried to escape the police and travels back to 1988.
The episode is virtually unchanged and the rest of the show is identical. They specifically introduced something that has had ZERO impact on the story and hasn't been seen outside of episode 1.
If it wasn't there nothing changes, so why the fuck is it there if they're not going to do anything with it.
>Don't cut out Kayo returning
>Get to the drowning scene
>Satoru yells that he won't die until he sees Yashiro destroyed
>Revival back to episode one end
>Last 1-2 episodes is him re-doing everything knowing about Yashiro and getting him caught at the river with based Kenya
>Satoru re-lives his life not fucked up instead of time jumping back
There, I fixed it.
>>139003719
It's more believable in the anime i guess because you know they spent so much time on Kayo, but I still hate the current timeline regardless. Mom suffering is one thing, but if Kayo actually had any respect for the kid she should've waited a while before telling him. He had just woken up and she has to assume he's still mentally 13 or whatever and maybe had feeling for her when they were little, like god damn woman some way to treat your hero, give him sometime to adjust to the present.

Kayo getting killed for being such a slut.
Teacher and MC have a manly fight but one where MC comes to admire him. Fate spoilers,Kinda like how Shirou admired Kotomine
>>139003160
he revives back to when he was a baby and jumps out a window
>>139004092
That's what everyone was hoping for because it would have this Case Closed feel to it. To be honest I think ep 11 would be better received if he at least solved the case as a child before going under. It would've worked too like he could just tackle him into the water as a kid and then go into the coma. Wakes up and happy ending (I mean Airi was like the only reason for the time skip, well aside from the bad killer reveal)
>>139004306
>>139004552
Ore ga Doutei manga did exactly that.
>>139004092
Why does that guy get the best fanart? Why are there so much more drawing fujos than male fans that draw anime related stuff? Or at least it often seems that way.
>>139004788
This desu
>>139003160
Proceed with the manga ending. Since Airi wasn't really in this there's no need for an Airi end. So in the end where he's just standing in the snow, he should have like a psychedelic trip(from his unexplained power) where he's given a choice between going back to 1989? or staying in the present. End with the same line from the manga the end.

>>139005277
Have you not noticed the red eyes appearing throughout the entire show? It's symbolism. Sensei gets them, Kayo's mom gets them, Satoru gets them when he's about to jump Kayo's mom.
Shouldn't the next PV be online already?
>>139003160
It turns out that from the start teacher knew about his time travel powers and his killings were just keikaku doori to get him to befriend lonely kids.
>>139005277
A few characters had their eyes changed to red at one point.

The series went bad when the author stopped giving a fuck to his series.
Reminder that in the new timeline Satoru is 26 and Airi is 14

Japan birthrate was saved.
Evil Teacher stop killing kids because satoru, his ex-girlfriend have one baby because satoru, etc
>>139006166
I still cannot believe this is something people take issue with.
>>139006214
Really?
It seems to be on par with the rest of the issues /a/ is having trouble with like girl not waiting 15 years, trap managing to score her and everything not being magically fixed in the end for their self insert fantasies.

Cross Game
I can't wait for the threads about the new manga.
>>139006214
Why shouldn't I take issue with it?
I fucking paused the video and burst out laughing the first time I watched that scene, and I think that mine wasn't the emotional response that the show wanted me to have
>>139006363
Fuck you for making me remember.;_;
>>139006662
Explain what's wrong with it.
>>139006214
Probably because you believe whatever Japanese cartoons tell you. There's no way all that shit would happen to somebody just because they maybe stole a candy bar.
>>139006214
The weird thing is that it could have been changed easily. The author would just have to replace the bar with something more valuable and nobody would have a problem with it. No idea why he decided to piece of chocolate of all things.
>>139006738
in a really small town where everyone knows and trusts each other, if you get pegged as a thief that's going to fuck your reputation
non non biyori taught me they don't even lock their shits up, you just put a quarter in and take what you need and go
it's about trust and honor. and the marriage ended up splitting because your own fucking wife can't even take your side. she thought he was a thief, she couldn't even believe him about something as petty as a chocolate bar
>>139006702
Guy is accused of being a chocolate thief; being the rational guy he is he of course fucking trash talked the owner of a store in a little village, then he got arrested, then he lost his job, then he lost his family and then he fucking changed country.
Then the retard child mother got into her fucking mind and asked herself "Dude, 'twas only chocolate... duuuude... I should have trusted him... fuck."
And so the daughter of the man made up an unbeliable contrived shitty motive for her believing in abso-fucking-lutely everyone (when in reality she only wanted to fuck the mc).
All for chocolate.
All for a single bar of chocolate.
Wich could have fallen into his pocket.
>>139006897
>fucking trash talked the owner of a store in a little village
because he didn't do it, and he's being accused of theft
yall have no sense of honor

>>139007003

It's a single bar of fucking chocolate.

And it's done terribly. Why do people think something having thematic purpose automatically makes it good? As if people weren't aware of that point despite it being telegraphed and explained so heavily in this show without an ounce of nuance.
>>139007356
So what makes it bad?
If you aren't retarded and realize it's not about scale but morals and integrity.
>>139007419
>moral and integrity
>regarding a chocolate bar
You're what's wrong with /a/, get the fuck out of here
>>139007186
In what world do we fucking live in?
It's japan so fucking much pantsu on head retarded?
Also, it is unrealistic that the owner outright screamed at him, it should have been like this:
>Wait, you didn't pay for that chocolate mister
>Oh, sorry, I don't know how it could've happened... it's a small town, you know me, I'm also the vice mayor or some shit, it's a little far fetched to believe that I would fucking run off with a chocolate bar, here, I can pay for it if you don't want it back... maybe it was my daughter... ya know... kids...
>Ok, sure, shit happens.
>>139007500
A thief is a thief is a thief, man. Why do you not understand that it isn't about the object, but the fact that he's being assumed to be a criminal?
Some animes are bad because the productions ended the animes really quick and the story stay like shit....sometimes, better two seasons or more episodes
>>139007500
regarding theft you brainless idiot.
Did you ignore "it's not about scale" part because your mental disability forces you to have selective reading skills?
>>139007694
>>139007560
>>138998485
Honestly, every MAL review of Erased is cancer because they're either trolling, fanboying, or won't shut the fuck up about what other people think about it.
It's weird to realize that some people love this show so much that they'll defend every stupid flashback, every creative misstep, and and every terrible decision, lest their vision of this show come crumbling down around them.
>>139007419
It's a heavy handed tale that's unnecessary for the purpose of expanding on the theme of trust and it doesn't even fulfill that purpose. Sawada didn't get some flashback to explain his belief in Satoru because it would've been dumb. The scene with Airi's mother afterwards lacks power because she was a background character who only possessed the characterization of a bitch based on the flashback. Her sudden realization is unfounded and mired in stupidity as she lets her daughter go off to get potentially murdered. I can't care if this "leap of faith" is consistent since it has no weight behind it. "Your mother wouldn't raise a son like that!" from Sawada actually does since it relates to two characters we're familiar with and their relationship.
The scale makes suspension of disbelief more difficult, so it's factor into why it's bad.

I'm tired of this notion that everything hat happened in episode 5 and 6 wasn't complete fucking nonsense.
>satoru runs from the cops despite being innocent, making himself look guilty
>shacks up with a 17 year girl despite being a fugitive
>17 year old girl trust a fugitive because her dad stole chocolate

>loljk decides not to report Satoru's whereabouts because he has a crush on 17 year old
>up until this point there is still 0 evidence pointing to Satoru but he is still running
>17 girl and manager still trust Satoru even after girl's house is blown up
>manager helps Satoru escape despite having no reason to trust him
Episode 5 & 6 show that everyone in this show above 10 years old is an absolute idiot.
>>138998485

He sounds almost as retarded as you guys

>circumstantial evidence was stacked against him, even with no motive police in japan will bury you for less than that to keep the conviction rate high
I think it is you who's an absolute idiot.
>>139001713
>>139001896
Like legitimately, would this be a good ending if they did it?
>>139008696
why would it be?
>>139000675
Would have been a 10/10 twist.
>>139008530
>satoru sees his mother dead in front of him and acts irrationally
Perfectly understandable. Even gave him the benefit of the doubt until he ran for days until it was too late.(after the house fire)
>uses the naive trust of teenage girl because he has no other options
Turn yourself in? Again no evidence points to him. Walk into the station, say you panicked. You have an alibi at your job
>manager just wants to get into airi's pants
Gonna be hard if she fucking dies! Let's just take her word for it. What her house was lit on fire? Nah I'm still wrong, Satoru must be innocent.
>satoru was seen fleeing from the crime scene holding the murder weapon approximately when the murder was committed.
WRONG. Pic related, he never even touched the knife.
>circumstantial evidence was stacked against him, even with no motive police in japan will bury you for less than that to keep the conviction rate high
Not even in the slightest.
>Body had been dead longer than he'd been off work
>no prints on the knife despite him being at the scene
Any evidence against was brought upon by him being an idiot.
Am i really to believe the cops are so cruel they'll jail a murder victims son for no reason other than to pad their ratings?
Can someone please post the webm of "the cuck without me" or the screencap of the catalog on the day of episode 11 please?
>>139008530
>satoru sees his mother dead in front of him and acts irrationally
After he had entire months to prepare for the circumstance, remember that he retrieves his memory in his revivals; but I must say that I find Satorou running away in line with his character, but NOT for the reason you said: he probably felt that he would have had the same fate as Yuki, he doesn't trust police.
Sure he has other options, you are fucking 30 years old, think of something, you have in your hands a fuckhuge power, run away alone someplace safe, study the case, prepare your next moves... nope, I must fuck this 17 years old girl I almost just met and tell her about a fucking manga that didn't come out, and why not? Take her along, it'll be a nice trip.
I don't fucking care what the manager wants, he did the thing that you also would have done, he gets his nose fisted for no fucking reason other than "YOU BIG BULLY, I WANT TO FUCK HIM AND YOU ARE IN THE WAY! KYAAA!" and then, since the series has decided that he's the bad guy for calling police on a fugitive killer he doesn't do shit.
How is that strange? That's pretty justificable, in chock you could do some dumb things too, also, he didn't have the murder weapon with him, sorry.
Lol, japan law is awesome, what day does the ace attorney anime air again?
>>139009141
Okay he didn't touch the knife, he did get her blood all over his hand though.
>You have an alibi at your job
>Body had been dead longer than he'd been off work
No it wasn't? Did you not see the murder walking right past him? Do you think he just chilled in the apartment waiting for him to show up?
>>139009338
>After he had entire months to prepare for the circumstance, remember that he retrieves his memory in his revivals;
That is not how it works.
It's pretty clear his memories are not joined if he springs forward.
>>139007694
>>139007560
It's stupid that it all happened because of a retarded chocolate bar, perhaps that hack of an author could have used a better example instead of this stupid one
So how many people did Yashiro kill before the reruns?
>>139009433
>Do you think he just chilled in the apartment waiting for him to show up
Yes, he did.
>>139009433
>Do you think he just chilled in the apartment waiting for him to show up?
You know what makes little sense? How close Satoru's mom arrival coincided with Satoru's. The murderer had no idea when exactly she was going to come back home. Yashiro's a lucky idiot.
>>139009509
What would be the point of that?
>>139009575
>Yashiro's a lucky idiot.
Did you not get that from his reckless campaign of murdering strangers? Things always work out for him which is why he became so bold.
>>139009479
hmm, no it's not, he may have been in a bit of understandable chock after springing forward the first time after months "away", but he recollects his past memories pretty well, they aid him in his researches.
Also, I made other points.
>>139009583
To pin the murder to someone else just like he did with Yuki-san.
>>139009638
No he doesn't, he looks at physical evidence to find out what changed.
>>139009575
You know what's fucking contrived? That a fucking neighbor decides to appear at that exact same moment
This series is full of contrived moments, plot devices and stupid plot points, the people who defend this shit are seriously stupid and need medical help
>>139009654
How does waiting in the room until the last possible second help with that?
>>139009433
Well there is no way we can now for sure, but you're correct i was confused by how the show showed the scenes.
Either way though, he had plenty of time to think his actions over and any 29 year old would realise turning yourself in is the only guaranteed best option.
Alternatively write in a reason for Satoru to irrationally fear the police, hell they have the perfect plot device in Yuuki for hat exactly.
>>139009736
Dude, I clearly remember him remembering.
But also, I made other points.
>>139009794
>finds out his mother died
>neighbor walks in on him and screams
>runs out, police are already there
Yeah plenty of time.
>>139009634
Those were planned well enough. His actions in episode 1 are the actions of a dumbass, not an experienced killer who's been doing it for more than a decade. Shit, he didn't even know if she told anyone about her suspicions of him. Murdering her would've put giant target on his head. Luckily for him the narrative follows murder mystery cliches to a fault and she didn't say anything.
>>139009848
>Fucking conveniece of the neighbor walking in at that exact same moment
>Police being fast as fuck
This goddamn series, I swear
>>139009922
I'm pretty sure Yashiro called them himself.
>>139009893
He has some sort of power, it wasn't just planning.
Wait, so all the people MC saved in the original timeline just died then since he wasn't there to save them?
>>139003160
>He kills sensei
>allisover.jpg
>Suddenly little cancer girl goes missing
>WTF is going on?
>Spend the whole episode tracking out the kidnapper and doing actual detective work along his friends
>Find the kidnapper lair
>Is that guy that got blamed for the murders in the original timeline, sensei had spent those fifteen years training him to become his accomplice
>Satoru about to kill him but decides to just hand him off to the police
>Anime ends with the tv news anouncing he is tobe executed next week
>>139009786
No, he was right outside the apartment, and he did this>>139009991
>>139010070
Yes
>>139010070
... he went into a coma after saving them.
The opening is only a metaphor dude.
>>139010070
Who fucking knows?
