Since that hasn't happened I think Hina's still alive. God damn it Nappa. The entire episode was tripping death flags like crazy, so the ending was not surprising. The last mystery that remains, is she dead or was she taken in by childcare organization. I guess am banging my head against the wall until next Thursday. Must.. Bang. Not... Bang. Read..... Bang. Manga.... Bang bang bang. Damn cliff hangers! I'm guessing it's Hina's mom acting up again. To be honest I'm quite surprised she was so quiet for the past few days, letting Hina go to the Science centre and a birthday party as well. |

Didn't know the parents of the kid were rich and sued her grave injury. Beats the fuck out of me why some morons think they can put their hands on another person's kid. Tho in this case the bitch is doing that to her own child True but I think she also wanted to smack Satoru for interfering and talking back to her. |

To be honest I'm quite surprised she was so quiet for the past few days, letting Hina go to the Science centre and a birthday party as well. I would've assumed that he rush over to her place and bang on the door until someone opens. Then he would've found out what happened to her. But it was intentionally left out in the anime with him commenting that she has not returned to school on the second day either. Technically it is preferable that Hinazuki dissipaters from the plot, as he has to save 2 more girls in addition to her, so she would've become a liability in the long run. In addition there is the whole 18 years between his child self and his normal self which has to be taken into consideration. Will he be forced to live over his 18 years of life or be sent back to the future after he set achieved goals? |

Tyestor said: it's funny. all the suspects appear to have alibis. the teacher is marking tests, kenya is playing soccer, the mum is walking somewhere, the dad/mum's boyfriend is at a bar and yuuki appears to be at work. the most suspicious one is the mother IMO. anyway, either this is some A grade misdirection/red herring work or we've got another unknown player. i feel like he only managed to delay it by one day. fuck, this show is such a nailbiter. Werent they the alibis for 'X-Day' ? , considering the delay in the kidnapping on hinazuki (if that is the case), then we cant say anything about them having an alibi for that particular day, i guess. 'cuz it cud have been any1 of them. Also, this could be weird, but since u mentioned 'misdirection', I am having this newly found feeling of doubt at Satoru's mother. After i went through all the posts for this episode, it is clear that we all were made to think Satoru's mother is admirable and virtuous, so it would be a great shock to have her as the perpetrator xD. I know this sounds weird, but if they could sleekly pull that off, it'd be fucking hilarious and great. |
| Waiting again for episode 5. Hope happy ending |

| Just as I did a reaction/review for Musaigen no Phantom World I have decided to review my favorite show of this season and give my opinions about it so far. Dont be mistaken I do have a fare amount of problems but first lets adress the good things about it so far. The show's setting is great. I always like "snowy" settings, I live in the middle-east and we barley have snow here so you can say that I was destined to like the setting from the very beginning. Another thing is the visuals. They're great, animation is fluid and consistent and many shots are beautiful to look at. The character designs are unic and there is good focus on the expressions of the characters. The story is also quite intriguing, some may see it as fairly generic but the show has a good-enough pacing to compensate. I dont usually like mystery show in this medium but the show knows how to handle it's cards- when and how to reveal stuff. The music is great with relaxing, somewhat melancholic tunes of piano and violin. The op is energetic to set you in the mood and the ed song is also really well done( I actually liked the ed more than the op, I'm even learning how to play it on the piano right now). That's said, there are few flaws that quite bother me: First(not much of a flaw but) - Where will the series go? The goal from the begining was shattered in this episode ( most probably ), so what now? Reset and try again? But that will suck because everything until now will become point-less...All the great moments will be repeated again and again... I just really hope that the series will handle this well in the future... Secondly- I was expecting Satoru to use more of his 28 years of life experience more but he was just acting like a middle schooler most of the time. I mean, he should be much smarter than most of the characters in the show but he doesn't act like it. Also some of the events felt a bit too melodramatic at times. I have a hard time to believe that a girl in middleschool can do stuff like stealing money in order to frame you just because you were mean to her in the past. Middle-school kids aren't that evil or smart. Also some of the characters lack subtlety: giving Kayo's parents red eyes to show they are evil or show Kenya reading school-subject books at lunch because he is smart. |
Smudy said: I'm starting to believe that this will get a second season with this pacing you guys are all talking about. That would definitely be the best. |

Also some of the characters lack subtlety: giving Kayo's parents red eyes to show they are evil or show Kenya reading school-subject books at lunch because he is smart. They're only 10-11 years old, so still in elementary school by Japanese school standards. If that makes any difference! Also I think the stealing money to make Kayo look like she stole it was just straight up bullying which is a problem in schools worldwide and especially Japan. Elementary school kids are definitely capable of that. Agree with you that I'm really curious where this show is going though... is a certain time frame going to keep repeating? Or will he relive the next 10-15 years of his life? Or what... Oh.. I might have unnoticed when they said they were in elementary.. Anyway, I still think that kids in elementary shouldn't act like that. I understand that they are capable of performing such acts but this is still far from the true. If I were to bully my classmate in elementary school then I would probably steal his pencil box or launch but not the money of the whole class just to make it seem as if he did it. And all that just because he was a dick to me that one time in the past? |
| DAT cliffhanger doh I don't wanna wait until next week |
 |
| ...so many FEELS in one episode and that cliffhanger, I think just like him she just overslept and will be late or she's died. ...really love the Movie feeling and those film like introduction great animation |
| I love it that every episode ends in a cliffhanger, this is very well done:D Fujinuma is so cute and Kayo is a cinnamon roll...also I love their friends, and Banzai to Fujinuma's mom, she is so awesome! |
ワンダーランド花 ♥ |
| Man, fantastic episode, it was heartwarming for the most part, and the little romance between Kayo and Satoru is really sweet since theyre kids and all (well, one of them is, wait, is Satoru a pedophile?). But the end damn, this is gonna be a long week waiting... |
| I should stop reading comments here, going to get spoiled xD |
Nexxkinn said: Good job, Satoru! First of all, I'm just glad that he managed to stop her to abuse Hinazuki ( for a while, though). And, another point of view from Satoru's mom proving that she still loves her child based on her clothes. Man, I don't even think that aspect.  Her mother has great taste, anyway. Second, Let's count how many smiles can he protect! Third... Man this was an awesome episode. What with Satoru's mother intervening. But trouble seems to be around the corner. This is fast becoming one of my favorite series. |

And all that just because he was a dick to me that one time in the past? In one scene the girl was talking to satoru, and she said something like "now sensei thinks im a thief, you do too". It makes me think that perhaps she didnt steal the money? And shes depressed cuz she's been accused of something she didnt do? |
| I had a feeling Hinazuki would have gone missing... Turns out I was right. Ayyyyy To read or not to read the mango, that is the question |
 Nico- said: Conversations with people pinging/quoting me to argue about some old post I wrote years ago will not be entertained@Comic_Sans oh no y arnt ppl dieing i need more ppl dieing rly gud plot avansement jus liek tokyo ghoul if erbudy dies amirite |
| Now I have reached "possible anime of the year" territory. This is entertaining, cute, funny and distressing all at once. I was so happy for Hinazuki finally being happy and Satoru reaching his goal and all the puppy love stuff, I totally forgot how these things usually end. I've been worked! |
 |
| When people compared this to Steins;Gate after the first episode... I thought that was pretty funny. But after that cliffhanger... i'm also pretty convinced it's going to be like Steins;Gate lol. Now i'm more interested in finishing Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu. Never finished the second season... but i guess i have the time now xD |
 |
| So much potential. I hope this anime goes well. That cliff hanger doe.... DONT LEAVE ME BEHIND |

| poor kayo....I´m afraid the end is bad....i was waiting for the worst thing and when he didn´t go to her house to going together to school ...the chair ...her chair ...oh nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! it´s only me or someone thinks the teacher seems his mother killer??? |

| The last part, when he was running home happy, all I was doing is saying to my self "no, that's too good, too happy, where's the curve ball? Where is it?". Then the last scene came... "here it fucking is... fuck". |
| during the whole episode im thinking - it cant be that easy, something bad is about to happened.... and then it end like this, hard to wait a week again :( only a guess but i think that Kayo just fell asleep late and didnt wake up at the morning, since she was working on his present the whole night again. though i have a feeling that something bad is about to happened to the girl sitting next to him. |

Jonesy974 said: It kind of makes sense that his first thought would be "maybe if she lives on this day then it'll fix things". No, it really makes no sense at all. *Maybe* if it was a random killing of opportunity, but not a serial killer. As I said, he's being super ineffectual for a 29 year old. Maybe there is a reason for it, in which case it should have been explained by now, otherwise it's a pretty big problem with the show. Serial killer... he hasn't even ARMED himself. His big play was to look at her house with an alarm clock, and assume problem solved, he didn't even know if she was inside or dead. Stupid, stupid, stupid. |
| Kinda late but amazinggg episode. Simply loved it. |

And lots of serial killers kill based on opportunity; they don't necessarily go stalking their prey for weeks before attacking. I don't even understand what you want a 10-years old to do, even if he has the mind of an adult (a failed manga artist turned delivery boy, by the way, not a detective or a genius or anything). His options are limited. |

| this episosed just fucked me up so badly. the tension was over the top. it's perfect. Why is teh anime title being traslated in english as Erased, though? I feel like it's a spoiler. i don't want it to be a spoiler. T.T Yes because, it is similar in some ways. please do watch. both anime are great. |

I feel like it's a spoiler. i don't want it to be a spoiler. T.T Its not exactly a spoiler bcuz u wont understand the meaning of it u til the end, or near the end. And i think the translation kinda make sense, since the literal translation of Boku Dake Ga Inai Machi is "The Town Without Me", so ERASED could mean erasing my existence from the town... |
| even though i saw it coming, man the ending gave me intense goosebumps. also with seeing a lot of comments about satoru not acting his age, while his friends are acting too mature for their age-- i agree with the latter but the former may be what makes him slightly more realistic. he's constantly hanging with other children, in a child's body, and treated like a child. influenced by that sort of environment, his mind probably wouldn't be as sharp/mature as it'd be otherwise. |
| This anime is pushing all the right buttons. The recurrent themes of fate and coincedence is almost too poignant and hits home in every way without being "in your face about it". Even without that much foreshadowing, I feel I have nailed down the fact that the teacher, Kenya(which is still a weird name), and the High School girl from episode one must be involved in the larger part in some sense. 10/10 so far |

| As soon as satoru said "I Changed history!" I said "it's gonna go steins;gate now..." Lol called it ;p |
| Time Waits For No One. |
| Loved Satoru's mom saving the day, never thought that she works at a TV news center for all the skills she prsented on the 1st ep. A big development from Kayo, now that she's smiling is just cute, she's frequently went to class on time, Satoru's friends treats her kindly as well. I bet Kayo's late finishing Satoru's present right right because of that promise right right, anything can happen right............................................................. |
 |
| Am enjoying this show a lot more than any other this season. It's underlying tension that just seeps through every episode, even though everything is so chill, just works so well. Seeing Satoru trying to change the past reminds me a bit of the Butterfly Effect. I'm looking forward to seeing how this goes, even though I'm resisting so badly to spoil myself with the manga. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
