I remember hearing over and over for awhile how bad the ending of erased was. That it was sooooo bad it ruined the show as a whole. I put off watching it for a long time because I kept hearing that. I finally caved in and watched it. From episodes 1-10 I was on the edge of my seat. Once it reached episode eleven I was trying to see where they were heading. Cause ya know 11 episodes in is basically towards the end so that's when it usually sets up for the end. And I'm looking at everything that's going down and thinking "huh with the way it's headed I don't have a problem with how it's going whatsoever". But then episode 12 came and I was like "alright this show has been absolutely amazing I'm waiting for the bad ending everyone talks about" and I watched ..... And watched.... And it ended.... And I had absolutely zero problems whatsoever with the ending. I remember sitting there baffled thinking "huh? I thought that ending was great what's the problem??" I till this day see post on this show talking about how bad or average it is. I just don't understand the hate for this show at all.

Personally I don’t get it either. I thought it was entertaining and had a serviceable ending. Overall, the hate I feel is unjustified. So yeah I’m right there with you.

I remember watching this show about a year ago and was kinda bored throughout the whole anime though the ending was a bit satisfying and a bit frustrating at the same time. I could see why people could hate ending especially when the main ship broke when they are essentially adults. Just my preference btw no need to get offended. Just thought erased was kinda boring that’s all

The only people hating on it are those who think the girl should've waited a whole ass 15 years for him to wake up and immediately start simping for him lmao. Like I mean he saved her life and all and it would be nice if they got together but cmon its 15 years. All the hate is unnecessary and people just want reasons to spout bs.The ending was great imo nonetheless

from what ive seen the "problem" people have is that the girl the mc saved didnt end up with him. They even joke that the killer waited 15 years and she didnt lol. Wtf is that girl supposed to do? Wait for a comatose dude that might never Wake up? Another thing is she left town to be with the grandma they probably wouldnt even cross paths and in the present timeline he had that pizza girl. The hate is unecessary from my pov.

Lmao oh yeah I seen that somewhere before. What I would say to those people is this.



It's very easy to look at it as just "wow how dumb he waited 15 years and she didn't" they're two completely people. And I don't mean different as in they have different taste they like different things. No one is a normal girl the other is a deranged serial killer that preyed on KIDS. The way his mind operates is extremely different than hers. He's willing to wait 15 years because he's not normal. He's completely sick in the head. She's not she's a normal girl and a normal girls brain thinks differently.

From what I remember, it's just one of those bittersweet endings where everything ended up alright, but not in the happiest way. I think people just don't like that, but I respect any type of ending an author may go for. It reminds me of the Hunger Games ending, where they won the war and brought peace to the world, but Katniss came out of it a broken person, who lost the sole person she started the war to save (by her own side no less). Endings like these definitely leave me with mixed feelings, but that's what they're supposed to do. Obviously, we all want a happy ending, but that's not always realistic.

also waiting 15 years to kill someone and waiting 15 (could be more years) to be with someone that might not even remember you is totally diferent.

idk man i don’t think it deserves hate but the final act of the anime is pretty underwhelming imo. i thought it was serviceable but if you read the manga i think the disappointment is definitely understandable. hate however, i just don’t get

The ending is a bit convoluted and also a lot different from the manga(so mainly manga readers have a problem with it, not to say its not bad without reading the manga), in the anime how the main villain finds out he’s faking his amnesia by playing mind games with him basically, in the anime it is simply by seeing his reaction when he taps the wheelchair… then how he gets caught is Satoru jumping off a building and Shiro holding and eventually letting go of it which is again, very convoluted especially if he may have saw what they wrote on the floor when grabbing on to the wheelchair

Well I definitely don't think the ending is as bad as everyone says it is but when I watched it I had no sort of idea about the ending so it was extremely disappointing when I watched the last 2 episodes but overall I'd say it's still a great series.
Honestly really enjoyed the first 10 episodes, they were one of the most thrilling episodes in anime I've seen.

The show was a solid 8, but the killer was so fucking obious because they kept showing parts of his face, when the show is built on the mystery of finding out who the killer is, and said killer's identity is so fucking obvious then the 'big reveal' happens of who the killer is, it doesnt matter cuz we already know

And the mc is a fucking moron, he literally saw the killer's face when the killer got out of that room after killing the mom, and then acted all surprised when the 'reveal' happened, like motherfucker didn't you already know who it was since you saw him kill your mom???? That plot hole ruins the entire fucking show

Absolutely agree. Imo the manga ending is better, but the anime ending isnt bad... its pretty good imo. I think many people misinterpreted the relationship between Kajo and Satorou, so many ppl thought they will end up together, but instead they are always have been just friends.

hard agree it's literally people not understanding that him and the girl he saved were never going to be together. The time line put the two kids that died together and his goal was only ever to save his mom and stop the killer, I don't get how people can't tell that he cried out of seeing he accomplished his goal. Not to mention him and pizza girl were the romance option set up the whole time and pizza girl>>> anywayz so it really is just people going "the girl who was never in love with him should've waited 15 years ๐Ÿ˜ข romance is dead she a hoe ๐Ÿ˜”๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿคง๐Ÿคง" for no reason. I knew pizza girl was endgame from the beginning and honestly aside from that it may be the killers reveal and stuff. The ending is fine but the Mangas is better with the reve of the killer and all and just giving pizza girl more screen time with the ending but seeing her as the last scene is good too.

Most people don’t like it because the hero and heroine didn’t end up together. The reason I don’t rate it that high, is that after kajo arc, this anime went down a lot. The last 4 episodes felt really rushed and as if a kid wrote them. It was still enjoyable though.

I'm glad more people are accepting the ending and aren't caught up in the hate train of Erased's ending. I personally thought it was an eh ending, nothing special and they definitely messed up some aspects but subverted the expectations of others, the villain was defeated too easily and just felt like a very minor obstacle, and his motive/personality was all over the place. But Kayo not waiting 15 years for the MC like it's a freaking Disney movie or fable was way more realistic and mature.

I have no problem with thinking the ending is bad because of the villain, but if it's because the two main characters didn't get together, then that's basically disliking a show because your ship didn't sail, which is pretty dumb in most people's opinion since his main reason for getting close to her wasn't to get in her pants or form a relationship.

If i remember correctly,I think the major reason the ending was hated was because of
A.the girl and the guy dont really get together(which is okay,its a bittersweet ending.)
But what ticked alot of people off the most was
B.They cut out a bunch of content that explained the killer's side in the gap between.
I had no issues in the entire show otherwise since the show was masterfully directed at upto episode 10.Its just that we couldve gotten a bit better ending if one episode was given to the killer (or atleast the in between gap) and it didnt cut off too certain aspects of the source material.

Imo the ending could have been better, However, the anime is still a 10/10 for me and one of my most favorite shows. The reason some people hate the ending or the anime as a whole is that Satoru and Kayo didn't up together!! I mean, this is not even the purpose of the show. Anyway, I ship Satoru and Airi since the first episode and I'm glad they met each other again.

I think the thing about him seeing his face was that it was one of those things where he saw the person in passing. He saw him as he was walking up the stairs and the killer was walking down. So it was one of those things where he saw his face but seen him as just another guy on the streets and quickly put it out of his mind. It sounds dumb but how many people you walk by every day? You either remember one or two faces or none. That's how I seen it I accepted it bc as dumb as that may sound I can see how someone could just see a face and kinda just put that face out of their mind after just seeing them as another person.

Erased came out 6 years ago and was one of the best animes released that year. It has a great plot it never strayed away from the topic, characters weren't annoying and it also had a great buildup. Why is it still getting hate? There's nothing bad about it.

I watched it just like you, waiting for the bad ending that never came. I guess a lot of people were upset that the MC (it’s been forever so I forgot his name) didn’t get the revenge that fans think he deserved. But the MC seemed quite content to me and he did exactly what he set out to do. He couldn’t save someone who was important to him, but was able to get a do-over with someone else’s fate. As long as the MC is content, we should be too.

bruh Tokyo revengers spoiler much?๐Ÿ˜‚ but I actually liked that part in erased because it was realistic. Whether she truly loved him or not, it’s agonizing to wait like that for a day that may never come. Moving on and finding your own happiness will be the only thing that can silence that pain. You can’t expect others to wait around for you.
