Spoilers i guess.
Bokumachi is an excellent series up to episode 11. Since they had to wrap-up the whole mistery in one episode the whole thing felt like a mess. The ending feels rushed, and it certainly does not fit the whole atmosphere the series had been building so far.
Even with a magical premise, such as time travelling, there was something very realistic about Bokumachi (perhaps the way it treated child abuse), however this was lost in episode 12, where everything that happened just felt out of place and fake. The dialogues were weird, the whole situation of what was going did not make
...
much sense. Even so, it has an amazing last sequence between Airi and Satoru, one of the best animated and directed scenes i've gotten the chance to see.
All through the season Bokumachi was a 10/10 to me, but I could not bare rating it so high when it ended so abruptly and amateur-like. It's a pity that such a wonderful series finishes off with an episode like that. I still would recommend it because of the direction, (damn those changes in aspect ratio were just great), some beautifully written scenes and well, the whole ride from ep 1 to 11 is really enjoyable, i would fall for all of them cliffhangers, and waited excitedly for next week's episode. At the end (just on ep12) i felt dissapointed, but that does not erase (he) the fact that Boku Dake Ga Inai Machi is a well done series.
