Wow one of the better, if not, best start to an anime from this season. Definitely seems promising and the concept seems very intriguing. The voice acting is really well-done and sounds realistic too. Probably will be my non-sequel AOTS.


And now keep in mind that it's the first role for Satoru's voice actor.


Yup he does live action/drama

THAT WAS INTENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!! DAMN I'M STILL SHIVERING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Never read the manga and haven't even read the synopsis of the anime, watch the first episode only because i saw there's a new anime episode of the season, didn't expect it to be this amazing. Why isn't the manga more popular?!!!!!!!

I was like gasping so hard and kept saying "NOOOO" when the mother was being killed, showing that with good writing, you don't need tons of episode to make the viewer care about certain character.

Usually not really fond for the "apathetic no emotion MC", but Somehow Satoru comes off as likable so far

The OP/ED song is so good and when i saw the name "Asian Kung-Fu Generation" i was like HECK YEAH one of my favorite band!!!!", and then i check on MAL, Yuki Kajiura is composing the music for the show!!! It couldn't get better than this!! Not really familiar with the director, but i love his directing of episode 1..

definitely a contender for AOTS! HYPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well that didn't turn out as I expected but still quite intresting. Was just expecting him to go around saving people a few minutes back every now and then but to time jump that far back sure surprised me.

Didn't read the synopsis til now but I'm guessing the rest of the series will follow him as a kid?

Liking that ending song, might posibly be the opener too?

For the adult version of him it suites him perfectly, the kid version is a different VA.

Why does the mother have giant comedy lips?

I must be missing something here I found it mediocre at best and the MC was just depressing. Hope it gets better.

This is a total rip off of Ghost Trick: Phantom detective.

Like literally the concept is more or less the same, just that the main character isn't dead. Massively boosts my expectations for this then.

They already skipped out on a decent amount of stuff, and A-1 aren't holding back with the CG but still it's alright so far. I feel like the anime is making things feel slightly more pretentious but that might just be me.
Continuing with cautious optimism.

Very interesting episode, it's got potential to be the best this season.

My only complaint is his mothers lips are quite odd, besides that it's looking very good. Love the MC's VA also, fits his character completely.

I was getting rather disappointed with the beginning of this season, since nothing really caught my attention but this first episode really came through for me, really great start

I guess e can always count on A1 to bring us something that's at least worth talking about :P

Almost everything about this adaptation is spot on. The artstyle, the voice actors and animation fit extremely well. I'd even say the anime does a better job of catching (and keeping) my attention compared to the source material due to cutting out a lot of parts, which I have no problem with if it helps garner more people's interest in the series.

It was the first time in a long time where a first episode of a noitaminA thing hooked me so completely. Morose, but not edgy. Philosophical, but not in overly didactic, droning way. Best of all, this take on time travel isn't likely to be some magical fix-all on its own since it's very possible that Satoru might not be able to change anything in the way he intended with his revivals since its up to him to find what doesn't look right.

I will say that I am a tad disappointed that they skipped over one bit from the manga
It was an unfortunate blow to an otherwise great start.

Man, that was great.

This revival concept is interesting, but I wonder how Satoru came about to having the ability to do so (assuming he wasn't born with it). And If he was born with it, the trigger must have been that murder case.

Liked the usage of blue butterlies. And by the looks of it, he has to be within a certain radius of where and when something bad is about to happen to see them.

Quite good and enjoyable.
Still have some bickering to do. Mothers lips are not an easy thing to get used to. Animation sometimes looked a bit nonexistant. (I guess the it's also the style of the anime that I need to get used to). The mother was stabbed in her back but when Satoru came, the wound was in her abdomen? The killer coming when the mother was alone and the door wasn't locked looked a bit convenient. Well, I hope I'm just looking too deep. Still, one of the better first episodes this season.

Also I thought you stopped watching A-1 pictures shows, at least from what you told someone when they said you should watch Uchuu Kyudai it sounded like you wouldn't watch it because it was made by A-1 pictures
