Boku dake ga Inai Machi, or Erased, is a nice short show that fits to the genre of introducing a normal life with single supernatural thing. Comparable to for example Death Note, setting wise.
The story doesn't try to accomplish too much for a 12 episode anime.
So, the story itself isn't a totally an unique one and can let you disappointed by its predictability.
The show focuses on building emotional connections to the characters, and tries to rise feelings. Although it was filled with obviously touching moments, I never weren't in the same wavelength and found myself laughing in cringe pity to the unrealistically bad situations the
...
characters were forced to. However, it didn't stop me from enjoying the show, and in the end it left me satisfied
Art didn't hold back the storytelling, apart from one pair of colorless lips.
Audio was very well done, I loved the actor choices and both songs.
Overall I rate it 9 out of 10 as for a great show, which I did enjoy watching. However, I would never call it a masterpiece or re-watch it.

I like how some shows set out to tell a story.
Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso was one of them.
The story of Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso is told in little arches, and the viewer has always something to look for plot-wise. Speaking of the plot, the main story was well thought out, although it didn't pay much attention to other components of the story than the main ones. Written as a book I wouldn't probably have noticed the flaws in it. Most characters in the show could be explained in one sentence and referred as basic soulless sidekicks, characters whose actions feel predetermined or
...
so immensely plain to be taken as granted.
A good example of a bad character are both of Kaori's parents, who were either happy, sad or neutral. Maybe it's me but I didn't really relate to them. To be honest, the only relatable character in this show was Kousei. Tsubaki and Watari were believable personas, and should have deserved a background and more screen time.
Kaori was an autist.
HOWEVER, the story was well supported by auditory world and the art was unique and refreshing.
In the end I did enjoy watching the show, even though it made me cringe too often for my taste.
I would recommend to watch this show if you have ever thought about asian child pianists, it tells a great story of a highschool guy called Arima made lemonade of life's givings.

I'll start with story. I rate it 8/10, as "Very Good". There was a clear sign of over extending and monetizing in the longest arc of the story. It really let me down. So much that I stopped watching the show for two whole days. Build up and ending were clearly the point of the show, and the extra to make the show profitable was acceptable, although not that amusing.
I was not blown away by the art, something you should expect from a show not investing it's entire budget on visuals. However, the visuals of this show were remarkably good as far as the standard
...
goes. I rate it 9/10, as "Great" it didn't miss a thing.
Opening was catchy, the third ending was one of the best pump up's I've heard and the soundtrack was excellent and fitting. Voice acting was top notch on main characters, but lacked a bit moving further from them. It wasn't something that made me cry or laugh out loud though, and either way we can agree the soundscape isn't the reason this anime is as great as it is. 8/10, "Very Good" Didn't hold the show back by any reason worth mentioning.
Characters were something Hunter x Hunter was outstanding with. So much that if they could keep the soul of these main characters, the story wouldn't matter at all. Incredible, and worthy of 10/10, "Outstanding"
I watched the show in eight days. First four days I was blown off by this show. The next two days made me realize how much time of the day I was spending with this show, and made me stop for two days, until I watched the rest of it practically non stop. This show is best you can get off of the 100+ episode animes, as far as constant enjoyment is concerned. 9/10.
This show was a blast. I would recommend it to most of the folk. The gap between 9 and 10 in overall score should be decided by personal preference, and is not a thing you should be looking at. For me, this show is a really solid 9.

Lets start with the story. It was well put together and complete. The one thing missing was sufficient amount of background information so that the as called plot twists would be more twisty. On every scene there was a really high chance of you knowing whats happening next. These bits harm the otherwise naturally going story. I've got to mention that the decisions main characters made were rational in compassion of what they were presented. 7
Art was top notch. I could ask for more frames per second or smoother development in Izumi but on the other hand I understand this way of approaching. The style
...
didn't do correctly in regards to the manga, though. Especially animation of Satomis expressions was just outstanding. 10
Sound track was memorable and fitting, although the dubstep in fighting scenes took kind of a big role. Also I just couldn't stand the opening. The voice acting was really great, as it should be on an anime of this caliber. 9
Characters, well apart from their close to rational choices in every situation, weren't the best part of this show. Every character of this show could be described in a single sentence. However, it did not ruin the experience in any way. 7
I did enjoy it, but wasn't that hooked on it. I always knew that what I'm going to watch is going to be good, and it didn't put me down. However if you have been thinking of environment and the place of human in it, this could be otherwise. 8
Overall, despite the ongoing tautology of the theme that I think everyone got during the first few episodes, the show was good. It had a thing to teach, had somewhat emotional impacts all cleverly enough plotted with action and packaged in a good outer shell. I would recommend watching it. 8

I'm not into furries, but it did not pay any negative effect on this movie.
Ill start with story.
The plot was good, not that special in the end, but a good one with well made emotional scenes. 7-Good
I have nothing to complain about the art of this movie. It was not outstanding, like in Chibli ones, but it left me really satisfied. 9-Great
When it comes to movies, voice acting is usually well made. Like in this case. The Japanese version really stood out on this. Sound effects did not leave me entirely overjoyed. Maybe they just like imitating noises, like in the Wind Rises. Music
...
was fitting, but wasn't really anything special. 7-Good
Characters were fitting, apart from daddywolfie which didn't just seem real enough to me. The others, especially some side characters had wide personalities. 8-Very Good
I did enjoy it, not so that i could leave my seat, but I did enjoy it. 8-Very Good
Overall, the movie was very good. I wouldn't watch it with friends because of the awkward scenes in the beginning. If your're into furries this movie is a spot on. And totally okay to watch with your bf. I wouldn't call this a family movie though. Even better alone, nothing is awkward. :D If the movie lacked something, it could be a better soundtrack and deeper story mid way. 8-Very Good

I'm gonna keep it simple.
Art was great. Unique style and rich use of technology. 8
Soundtrack was really fitting. Character voices were especially well made. 9
Characters, well uh. It didn't make much of an impact. The protagonist was nothing special, and neither were most of the side characters 6
I did enjoy watching the show. The episodes were well assembled and I got pumped for the ending, which, well, let me down. 7
Story was an awesome setup for an unlikeable ending. 6
There were a lot of irrational choices made and the ending just was not prepared. It was just like a copy of the
...
main happening from one of the top rated animes over here. But delivered in just two episodes, it didn't cause any emotional impact. They could have kept the ending real, since the idea was odd to start with.
Overall, I did enjoy it. The visuals and sound made up for the last two episodes. 7
