Erased
| Maybe try Parasyte, it feels very similar but without time-traveling aspect. |

| I would recommend Yuukoku no Moriarty which has a second-cour of its first season coming up! It’s a dark mystery-thriller that functions more thematically than as a mystery. I personally found it to be pretty good in terms of semi-episodic story and characters like the main ‘protagonist’ and later introduced ‘antagonist’. |

| Hey, Welcome to MAL! If you are looking for a good psychological thriller then Paranoia Agent (Mousou Dairinin) is a perfect pick (In my opinion) it's a series that focuses about several issues withing the japanese society And it does include some of those light supernatural elements. It partakes in some heavy themes but it's really good. Hope this helps! |

| I would say Tokyo revengers but there is only one episode so far. |

Valerio14 said: - TL;DR (too long; didn't read) at the end if you want - Hi, I'm new to MAL in general, and in particular this is my first ever forum post (if that's what this is called). Furthermore I'm relatively new to anime series too. Long story short, I really like this anime and I'm searching for a similar anime series (or TV show). So I thought this was the right place (correct me if I'm wrong) to ask you all anime experts out there for a recommendation: I'd like to watch a short anime (like up to 30 episodes) with a mystery/thriller/psychological and self-contained story, which may or may not contain supernatural elements, given they are not too "heavy" (for example, in this anime I'd consider supernatural elements to be "light", because they are limited to the main character, while the other characters behave like normal human beings and there are no spells or magical weapons around). I trusted MAL's reccomendations section for this anime and watched some other shows with high ratings, but they were not what I was looking for, for example I watched "Steins;Gate" (which was good but didn't nail the ending like "Erased"/"Boku dake ga Inai Machi") and "Death Note" (which was good too but had the same ending problem, plus I won't consider it to be as good as this one, or at least it is not what I'm looking for). I was considering watching "Yakusoku no Neverland" / "The Promised Neverland" and "Charlotte" but I'm not 100% convinced given some reviews and the fact that they might not be self-contained (meaning they might not have a satisfying ending, hence the story might continue in a following season) Thank you to everyone who bothered to read till this point, and thank you to everyone who is willing to help :D TL;DR: I'm looking for a psychological/thriller/mystery self-contained anime like this one, with less than 30 episodes (I already watched Steins;Gate and I'm not necessarily looking for "time travel" or supernatural animes) What about the ending did you like with Erased that you didn’t quite think was achieved in DN or S;G? Here are some recs: .Devilman Crybaby .In;Spectre .Shinsekai Yori By self contained do you mean just one season and no second season type of thing? Also I agree with the Moriarty recommendation. It’s more detective and mystery orientated - basically if you like Sherlock Holmes or similar stuff, this is more than perfect. |
| Try Orange. It is a heartwarming story about school friends and past regrets with a teeny tiny bit of time travel. well sort of. |

| Tokyo revengers is exactly the anime you're looking for.I personally haven't seen Erased but I've seem quite a few people comparing Tokyo revengers to Erased.I bet you'll love it. |

It has similar time travel elements like Erased but has some shonen in it and the plot so far is simple (haven’t read the manga) so I recommend it. If you are looking for psychological and thriller, then I recommend Parasyte, Another or Higurashi (2006). Hope this helps, Thanks |
| Anime like Erased? I would normally suggest Steins; Gate over anything, but assuming you're new(?) to anime, why not try re-life? It is a really good mix of human drama, romance, and everything that is in Boku ha Inai Machi (Erased). I'm sure you'll love it. |
