| Overall, still a predictable "mystery" story that was told rather well with high production values. It's predictability and stupid moments dropped it from a 9/10 to an 8/10 for me. Yes, I do think it's stupid that Kayo and Hiromi screwed hi mover like that. Even though 15 years had gone by, you don't just go and hook up with the person you think your friend is into. It's an unspoken pact. Most people wouldn't marry their best friend's wife if he died. Sure, they were not really a couple but it was heavily hinted that they had feelings. That's where the real problem was. The writing lead the audience to believe that, then threw it under the bus for no explained reason other than to give Kayo a baby and be like "lol look what you did by saving me". It wasn't needed. Her life alone was enough. They didn't even have to get together. The problem was simply that one of his best friends got with her. Even if it was a random person, that would've been fine...but his friend? Just rude. The end with Airi was really nice, even though their ages are pretty far apart lol. |

| Now THATS how you end an anime!!! To be honest I was a bit worried about this show getting a bad ending, but looks like I worried for nothing. Amazing anime, definitely a contender for the end of year lists. Now its time to wrap up a great week and finish Clannad AS |
idavisje said: Can someone explain to me how it's possible that he met Airi again with a completely different age? Shouldn't she still be a high school girl? it's 2010, she has 21 and he has 33 |
| An otherwise mediocre episode made somewhat better by reappearance of the only interesting character in the show - the PizzaGirl. Its hilarious that the character who had absolutely no real purpose in the show ended up being the best one. It does not matter that that scene makes absolutely no sense because rarely anything makes sense in this show. How to sum this up? Conveniences. Satoru spent whole show being complete idiot because it was convenient. He could not do even basic shit like getting out of seatbelt because it was convenient. And in this episode he becomes sherlock holmes(Despite there being absolutely no sign her can do any thinking at all in whole show) because it is convenient for the story. The MC's powers? Oh they also mysterious disappear because they are no longer convenient. Explanation? What explanation. They were there because it was convenient for plot. Another word? Apathy. Apart from PizzaGirl, I felt absolutely nothing. Satoru our EdgelordMC became a mangaka? Great. IF only we actually SAW him struggle towards his goal or his past teaching him towards that and his experiences getting him out of his random depression that he started the show in. Nope. Instead we got to see him try to save this random girl because why not and chase A Serial Killer who was motivated by hamsters, pretending that its some complex and interesting mystery when it could have been solved in two episodes. How to sum up the whole show? Anticlimatic. The show started with a decent first episode. Then it slowly went worse till it completely jumped the shark by Ep5 only getting worse with each episode. The coma plotline in latest few episodes was literally screaming at the viewers that the writers had no idea how to conclude the storyline so they did that to pull a bunch of asspulls into an ending. It made an already weird pacing of a story into even worse mess. Erased had promise. Yet instead of exploring the great concept, it bogged itself down in completely generic and completely easy to solve murder "mystery", which was further made worse by the braindead one note characters, anvilicious on the nose "symbolism" and utterly awful present day parts. What's more the writers and the director seemed to be completely unable to present or build up any sort of tone or use subtlety at all, in the end making a lot of supposedly deep and profound scenes into an unintentional comedy. 4/10 for episode 3/10 for the series. |

arilando said: That was the only spot with an opening gate. And they knew because it was their plan all along. Satoru rushed to the edge himself as you saw.How did they from which part of the roof Satoru would fall from? How did they even know he would fall down from the roof? |
| Though they rushed it towards the end, The ended it quite decently. Would have loved it if they had explored Yashiro's character more, Guess I'll have to read the manga for that. Which hospital leaves the terrace fences open?xD Some really good dialogues as well especially in the second half of the episode, The whole "My Hero" story by Satoru was really nice especially the way he narrated it. Overall I really enjoyed the series, They did rush the second half cause it was a single cour adaptations but they still did it well. Would have loved a little more spotlight on Airi especially since it's an Airi end xD 9/10 for me. |

Nezperdian said: So much salt over here. It's cute how people expect an adaptation to cover every posible detail of a manga/LN/VN. sure skipping trivial details like how the fuck he survived in episode 10 is nothing to complain about |
ColdBreeze said: But after all, his "Revival" was random shit? It disappeared? Well, can't say if I can believe it. Well, I guess we all knew it was for the plot. He appears in this episode with a wife and a child. |
| I though it was pretty good, now on to the next over-hyped anime. |
| Really sad that we never got to see Airi again after his last Revival up until the last scene of this final episode. Nonetheless, in the end, I loved this show. Solid final. Thoroughly enjoyed it. 10/10. |

Siul-08 said: xaos12 said: It was already confirmed that he is a pedo. Well in that scene the year was 2010 so airi had around 21 years old and satoru 33 i dont see any problem on that and the scene he said he wanted to sleep with hinazuki in episode 9 does not prove he is a pedo? |
| I loved this anime so much! The adaptation was pretty good. I got chills all over my body after watching this! ļ¼ćļæ£ć¼ļæ£ćļ¼ And there is still hope for Satoru x Airi! (ļ¾āć®ā)ļ¾*:ļ½„ļ¾ā§ |
Norakagami said: Alright, it was good! Though I still wonder where the dude who they accused of the murders at first (and went to prison while being innocent) is now? I guess we'll never know. But it was a really good show, I loved seeing Airi at the end and it was overall a very interesting storyline. Did you miss the scene where Satoru meets with him in the present day? Skip to 17:35, there's a short scene of them shaking hands. |
ColdBreeze said: Fappa said: People that have read the source material me included swear on it. You could say it's a more darker, fucked up version of Steins;Gate in a fantasy setting. And the author has no mercy with you just a warning :D What makes it also even better is the fact that it is done by Silver Link ( makers of Steins;Gate for example ) and it is confirmed to be 2 cour with a 1 hour long first episode special. So they seem to go all out with this one. Yeah, that's exactly why I am hyped. Silver Link and 24 episodes. I just love the fantasy setting. And if it's dark, I'm sure I'm going to love it. If they adapt it well, it could be my favourite of the season :D I'm sorry I don't know why I wrote Silver Link there when it's White Fox guess LMAO. Oh dark is an understatement believe me. Yeah if they do it right is the question here. I just hope they don't cut it down to its comedy which only works properly with the cruel and dark side of the story. It makes that so bittersweet it's crazy. But hey it's White Fox ( had to check if I wrote it correctly this time lol ) so I'll trust them. It can easily be a Erased/Steins;Gate/KonoSuba kind of mix. |
| The ending was a lot better than I expected it to be. As a non-manga reader, I'd say I was relatively satisfied with the anime as a whole, though the post Kayo arc made my overall rating go down. The show had lots of potential and it lived up to it at first, but I even I could tell that lots of shit was rushed around the end. 8/10 |
| We have an original ending with this adaption, i like it more than the manga, but there were some things that does not explain like in the manga 10/10, for me is the best animu of this year, till now |
HenchmanForM said: Some people really hates the end episode, because... 15 years in 20 seconds   and I said... DONT BE A PUSSY!  It was a good end and there is nothing wrong about it... ----------- Wait, WHAT?!  No  No... No...  NO...  NOOO!!! Why her? Why the fucking butterfly? ----------- I still like this ep. That butterfly can be taken in two ways. Either A. He still has his gift and he'll have to save Airi but that's doubtful in this one since she no longer knows him in this timeline or B. It's a last parting gift from time, destiny, whatever you want to call it. It's as if time is also trying to right some wrongs and them two not knowing each other is beyond wrong. I think he and Airi will get a real chance together, especially since he's grown so much and has learned to be more assertive and take life by the horns. This is how I interpret it. It's funny because all that time he lost, he never lost. He still has his old adult memories and even though in this timeline he lost all that time he actually gained more than he ever did in his old timeline. He has great friends and has grown more mature, is more confident in himself and others and has learned to never give up....with anything. He's now successful and he just met Airi again. For someone who lost so many years he sure did gain a lot and show a lot of growth. |
  Typical anime philosophy, another kind complicated explanation to justify "believing". Let's put it honest, believe in something or someone is simply mean that you don't want admit that you don't know or pretending to know about that something or someone. Basically if you already "know" then you become "knowing" and you don't need to "believing". Saying "I don't know" is better than "I believe" because if you don't know then at least the possibilities of "wanting to know" always open, BUT if you pretending to know or just believing then the possibilities are closed and you get stuck in your doubt forever. |
Fappa said: ColdBreeze said: I'm really hyped for it. Luckily it's not as hyped as BokuMachi.

So they seem to go all out with this one. Uhhh last time I checked White Fox not Silver Link is responsible for Re:Zero and Steins;Gate. But other than that yes, Re:Zero has a lot of things going for it, only about a week until first ep airs! |
| Big Order (TV):great anime or greatest anime? |
| I enjoyed this series (I haven't read the manga which seems key to that!) and thought the ending while cheezy, was well put together. Solid anime allround. |

| ALMOST made me cry at the suicide part the ending was really beautiful and all,but i still don't consider this a masterpiece as most are rating it such. 8/10 for me :) |
| Well it was a good ending and a good anime overall 9/10, but still ... i was hoping for something crazy at the the end, it was a psychological anime after all. |
gabrielrroiz said: Use your imagination. I haven't read the manga so I'm not 100% sure but if I had to guess, when Satoru shouted "I know your future" Yashiro regretted killing him and pulled him back. There was no one else there so I don't think anything else could've happened. They even discussed Satoru knowing Yashiro's future in this episode and Satoru being the only reason for Yashiro to live. This is also tagged as mystery so they are not going to tell you everything at the spot (even though Yashiro being the killer was really obvious even early on).Nezperdian said: So much salt over here.

| Kind of felt bad for Gaku. I mean, how can you compete with an MC with a power that literally lets you reset everything? And I guess they're never going to explain why Satoru even has Revival. They could make an even better second season out of the power and more revolving around Airi, but I guess that will never happen even as an original. Well the anime was entertaining if anything. But everything went downhill after the first episode imo. 7/10. |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
Turtletim said: What was the point of all of this? Non of these characters learned anything, their beliefs weren't challenged, everything remained static, one dimensional. So then was the point enjoyment? Thats the biggest problem with this show - not only nothing made any sense, but nothing served any purpose to further the characters. When the show started I expected the time mechanics to be used to teach him a lesson about life, turn it all around and end up asking Airi out. That was what seemed to be the show about in Ep1. Then the show spent the entirety of itself by chasing a completely uninteresting serial murder "mystery", none of the characters mattered or changed and then the end happened. In fact if you just took the first episode and replaced everything from the start of murder plotline with the last parts of this episode of him meeting Airi - you would get a better OVA styled story. An MC has weird power and hates his life. He feels like he lost his chance at life already and feels his existence is pointless. He then meets this nice girl Airi at work but is unable to really open up or ask her out. Via his power he gets into a hospital and gets visited by the girl and the whole experience makes him appreciate life more. As he checks out of hospital he observes the kid he saved and the life he leads learning a lesson of just how much every day decisions matter. Afterward he encounters the Airi again and starts a relationship with her turning his life around learning that it is never too late to turn your life around just like he did with his power thing to others. OH LOOK I FIXED ERASED AND DID NOT WASTE 12 EPISODES ON IT! |

| Was pretty good tbh, better than all the harem shit endings. 8.5 |
 |
| The butterfly in the episode's final... mean that there is something wrong, isn't it? |

| i came home from work early today just so i could finish this last episode. I'm quite pleased with how the show ended, definitely a 10/10 for me, though like many others i gave it that rating like...3 episodes in... now its time to go read the manga! |
| Very rarely does anything ever make me smile. I usually have to force one. The ending legit made me smile and only two other series' endings have ever done that for me. It was 9/10 for most of the show, but the ending is what finally pushed it up to a 10 for me. |

Don't know why but I get those two mixed up all the time LOL. I think the fact that it is a mystery, psychological anime with more than 12 episodes is reason enough to anticipate it a lot. I just hope they don't go too hard on the censoring and keep the overall dark theme coupled with the great and natural ( and bittersweet T-T ) character interactions between "those two". |
| How Satoru know Airi in this timeline? It was a mistake or purposely? |

| So beautiful... š such a great anime. |
| Now that it's been a week, I've realized I was salty previous episode for no reason, I'm just happy seeing her get her own happy ending after everything she had been through. The last scene was satisfying seeing them meet each other even though Airi did come out of nowhere. In the end this was a fun watch. 8/10 |
 |
| Was waiting for that pizza delivery girl the whole episode, and then she appeared for 10 seconds in the end. B etter than nothing atleast |
 |
| - NOT. LIKE. THIS. - |
| You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me |
| What a ride that has been. This ending was pretty satisfying for me and I can say the overall anime is pretty good. 9/10 - Airi best girl |
 |
| I especially liked the art when they were on the roof. Really well done. Was waiting for the pizza girl to show up, I wonder if she remembers or not. Which makes me think, how do alternate timelines work? |

| The ending was satisfying and had a nice closure. Maybe not amazing that it could have been like the first few episodes but still was good. It was a town without him but he was still a part of their lives and vice versa. |
| Quite an underwhelming ending. I really wanted to see more of Airi. You would think she would be more important. I guess I'll check out the manga. Anyway over I really enjoyed this series. I find it hard to marathon usually so this really struck a chord with me. 8/10 |
