That alone would tell anyone it's rushed. Quite a lot of people I know who didn't read the manga laughed their asses off at how bad the backstory of the teacher was.Wow soo much salt. I thought this episode was pretty great. As a non-manga reader, I thought the pacing went by fine. That was supposed to be a backstory? The dialogue gave no implications of that. |
RealityRush said: They are 10. No one assumes sexual interest and any kind of deep meaningful affection at 10. Not unless you have no fucking clue how 10 year olds work. The only relationship they had was that of close friends. Physically both are 10, but mentally only one of them is 29. It showed that tonight when he woke up from his coma. Satoru was able to read some of the more advanced kanji and his drawing of Kayo and her baby was pretty damn good. My problem with the shippers for this anime, not only is it's uncalled for since it's a seinen crime solver story, is that it clouds their viewing judgement. They see the blushing and hand holding as cute, heartwarming, and romantic, but don't realize the true intentions behind those scenes. Satoru's blushing isn't the same as Kayo's blushing. Satoru holding her hands isn't meant to show that kind of affection while it may seem that way to Kayo. I think it's more of keeping her close in order to protect her. Satoru is not the brightest 29 year old so his methods aren't that good, but their purpose to save lives and catch the killer. Hypothetical question. If you were given his power and sent back to the past to right the wrongs, you'd think it's okay to use some of that time to hit on a little girl? |
| If they had wanted to adapt the manga 100%, it would take them around 15 episodes (rushing but includes all scenes) but that would be the unusual number of episodes. Let's see where they're heading with this ending now. |

They skipped it all but the mere hamster part which doesn't really give much to go on. |

I'm trying to avoid the manga until the anime is over and it gets an official US release. I'll look at it then. |

If you were given his power and sent back to the past to right the wrongs, you'd think it's okay to use some of that time to hit on a little girl? I agree with you on some points there as they sound solid but if we were to dwell into the mind of Kei Sanbe, I do believe there are some implications that would suggest that there are some sort of relationship that developed between Satoru and Kayo. I mean in the grand scheme of things, his ultimate goal is to save his mother but in the process of doing so, he does show signs of developing some feelings for Kayo even if those feelings don't develop into anything after he saves her which is my entire argument. Although one thing I'm curious about is if Satoru's and Kayo's blushes aren't the same, why is Satoru blushing in the first place? One typically blushes if they are either embarrassed or in love and there are many hints that point to the latter which is why I think Satoru does develop a somewhat intimate bond with Kayo over the course of him trying to save her. But for all we know, there are so many things left unexplained about Revival. Revival could change one's psychology on a subconcious and primitive level but not their memory itself, but at this point it's all inference. except that the 'Revival' thing, it doesn't explain anything except for that small piece in episode one. so that's why everything is to the imagination of the reader |

| It seems that a lot of people here don't understand why some people are mad about this episode. Well tbh I was mad with this anime since episode 9 because it was rushed as fuck(I didn't read the manga, but its obvious it was). But this episode killed the anime for good in my heart so lemme explain why in a couple of points: The whole coma thing is BS, like total BS. It serves no purpose beside making Kayo look like a total bitch. I mean why did she end up with this trap guy again? did they even interact before that? oh and nice of you to leave behind the one person who is the reason you are still even alive. I'm not saying she should have dated Satoru or something like that, but did they had to make the scene with the baby so damn cringe worthy? The other purpose this whole coma thing serves is to have an adult Satoru go agaisn't sensei but well considering he is in a wheel chair that doesn't change anything cuz he is weaker than a 10 years old kid now. (Good job Satoru at saying "I got my memories back btw") My second point is obvious rush is obvious. I mean a lot of scenes feel like they had a certain purpose like the "mom taking care of Satoru" one, but because it was rushed as fuck you simply don't care about it. The hamster one for sensei made him one of the worse villain I've ever seen in anime and I know about villains like Broly. I don't know if its better in the manga but here its just laughable. And last point the romance people keep talking about lemme explain a couple of things: Satoru clearly felt something for Kayo when HE was a kid, way before he was granted his powers. His whole powers are something he was granted to change that part of his life. The reason he is blushing like mad or the reason people saw a romance for these two is because of how important her death was in his life and still is even 20 years later. Thats why people who ship them feel cheated, cuz he went to such length to save her, yet in the end he gets nothing but to see another random guy end up with her. |

| So they rushed it. Well they had 2 left so it was obviously going there. Not having read the manga, I feel there was just more to be seen before they get to this part. I pray for all of you who decided to sink with the Kayo ship. </3 Big love for Satoru's Mom! I wonder what kinds of lives Airi and Yuuki are having.. Esp Airi, if the chocolate bar would still happen |
 |
| Completely skipped nearly all of Yashiro's back story, cut out Airi's screen-time and replaced it with Yashiro, not to mention no relapse into a coma due to no Airi... I'm really disappointed. I knew that the story would be rushed, (should have been thirteen episodes at least) but damnit, I wasn't expecting an anime original ending. Also, the way that they handled Satoru regaining his memories was bland and anti-climactic. I'm just so disappointed. I kind of figured this would happen. Rushed adaptations are never good. |
| Has a potential top 10 anime ever gotten below 50% 5's for any individual episode lol? Is Erased the first one ever? |

kshin172 said: The ending feels rushed. I am not a fan of the idea that it's going to an anime original ending. What I'm most upset about is the reduction of Airi's importance. She's the one who's supposed to help him recover his memories. It's not an anime original ending. It was stated a while back that it will have the same ending as the manga. It's just really rushed. |
 |
| Interesting, so they did go through with the coma route. Hinazuki with Hiromi. I'm quite sad because she paired so well with Satoru, but Hiromi's pretty nice. They had 15 years to get together and plus they were both victims so they could understand and connect with each other more. Haha, love that cliffhanger. I'm pretty sure that Yashiro is smart enough to know Satoru's memories have returned and the same thing with Satoru. Perhaps they were both playing dumb until they got onto the roof. It was fun to see them play that game for a while because it amped up the tension quite nicely. |

| Only 12 eps? this animu needs 13 or 14 eps. As non mango reader, I wanna know about Yashiro's past? But it's ok, 10/10. Thx for Kayo, Airi, and the brand new NTR level, #SAVIORZONED :v. Time to read mango. |

| This thread is pretty hilarious, mainly because it's something like 40% manga readers(?) declaring they'll love, or do love, the salt from anime watchers at the supposed "NTR". 20% manga readers saying "It's not NTR". 15% anime watchers going "lol, this is what you call NTR?". 10%/5% anime watchers/manga readers with more of a beef about, respectively, plot questions/pacing (% could be larger in proportion to the others, I mostly skimmed these, but I have my reasons :P). ~8% other reactions, and finally ~2% actual salt from the Kayo x Satoru anime watcher shippers. Anyways, I was curious why the opening had Satoru on a roof when the manga did not have him anywhere near one. Now it makes more sense since they couldn't possibly fit the Festival arc since it would take another 2 episodes at least. I'm interested to see how it ends now. ;) |
| booooooommm NTR bomb has been exploded and another unlogic timelapse, 15 years sleeping such a great anime when the mc isn't at the opening and dat sensei, you're getting old but your evilness still pure, love you |

CupOfRumAndGo said: I was speaking from the audience's perspective. But even so, Hiromi knew that there was something more going on. Nope, they aren't victims. They don't know what might've happen to them in alternative, old timeline. Satoru didn't tell them. He knew that what Satoru was doing for Hinazuki was also being done to him. That's why he said; "thank you" to Satoru for never letting him be alone. And this is further proven by the fact that Hiromi was the one to tell Satoru about the other girl in their class, the one from the previous episode that was alone at the hockey game. >and connect with each other more What does it matter who established connection? ^^ Besides there's no way to know that for certain unless the manga explicitly mentions it.Well, initiative must have been from the Hiromi towards Kayo to "estabilish connection". |
SoraSenpai said: This... Man I also wished for the the uncle line...Sachiko is arguably the best mom in Anime period. Constantly taking care of Satoru for 15 years. You realize if she didn't do any of the shit she did he basically would be crippled. I wish when she said "He helped her" or whatever she would have said "you were my only family", or "you were like my brother" or something. Even saying something like "Look Mirai, this is your Uncle Satoru." But oh well. Satoru's mom... Single mother raising his child then when his child got comatose she took care of him for 15 years… She is beautiful and charismatic, why is she still single? is mindboggling to me… GiveMeHaru said: +1Seeing Kayo happily married to Hiroomi was so nice and heartbreaking at the same time. But keep in mind they both wouldn't have any future without Satoru's hard work to save them both. They both got killed by the same killer at a young age. So now in this time line, they got married to each other. I kinda imagined her married to someone else but not Hiroomi. But the thought that this baby wasn't going to be born without Satoru makes me wanna sob. |

| Satoru's mom is best mom. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| The NTR wasn't the problem, if anything it did what it means to worsened Satoru's situation. The problem is that there are too many plot convenience that hardly can be overlooked. |
| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
| It appears that A-1 and their top kek rushing have gone to a maximum, like how the fuck did he even survive being drowned? And Yashiro's actions were idiotic. Still not enough rating points dropped on the NTR, though, which makes me salty bc I wanted to drink more Kayofag tears |
Jennacyde said: inb4 some autist thinks Satoru's mom taking care of him for 15 years is forced drama Yeah, of all the things people have been complaining about this is really of the least concern |

It's pretty obvious for anyone who read the manga. There's just no way to go for the manga ending from this point. Also, that statement you're talking about was mistranslated. The director never said they were doing the manga ending. Yes they did. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/daily-briefs/2016-01-08/erased-boku-dake-ga-inai-machi-anime-to-portray-ending-of-original-manga/.97329 |
