Keeping it simple, if you like thrillers that have you playing detective on the edge of your seat, look no further.
Both protagonists have the power to travel back in time. Both of their powers have triggered in the same way. Other than that, they also have similar goals which is to save a girl.

Tokyo Revengers is using Boku Dake's take on time travel and raison d'être (solving and preventing a murder). While Boku Dake ga Inai Machi is unquestionably a masterpiece - a tour de force of racing hearts, gasping lungs and neckhairs on end - Tokyo Revengers folds into a classical delinquent drama of so-so quality. Comparing them is a tad unfair: Tokyo Revengers is a good watch, Boku Dake is just so much further ahead that the average "good watch" seems like a terrible idea.
If you like Tokyo Revengers, you will likely love Boku Dake. Not necessarily the other way around.

Both have an incredibly similar premise of the main character reverting back to their childhood and swapping back and forth between the young and the old to solve a mystery surrounding the murder of a girl.
Tokyo Revengers has a setting surrounding a character who is a delinquent. So, his major hurdle is being able to solve a mystery while in a gang. Erased is the simple fact that the guy went way too far back and is little kid.
As it currently stands, the main difference aside from the obvious difference in setting between the two stories is that Erased is actually finished whereas Tokyo Revengers'

The 2 anime have main characters, in their mid to late 20s, who have both received a power which enables them to go back in time to crucial points in their childhood to which had caused murders in their present time.
Both characters star out with holes in their personality left unchallenged since childhood and are put in a position where they must confront themselves and the danger brewing from their youth.
Both follow a main character who travels back in time to save a friend/love interest who has passed away.

The main characters in both series are going back in time to save someone. Erased is a mystery filled with crime and supernatural elements, while TR is an action about teenagers who are delinquents, and both are revolving around one female character which they are trying to save.
In the massive world of time travel stories, these two series decide to take the same approach by having the male main character go back in time and save a female character from none other than fate itself.
I’m not kidding. These two shows are SO similar at the start. Based on time-travel, the main characters travel back in time in order to try to save someone dear to them. Although it starts quite similar, the plot-line quickly begins to start to differ. While the main character of Tokyo Revengers, Takemichi Hanagaki focuses on his life as a delinquent, building relationships in the progress of his time travel, Erased focuses more on the mystery behind death which forcing the MC, Satoru Fujinuma to time travel. However, if you like the time travel aspect, I definitely recommend you try the other!

Same concept of time traveling to save a person who was murdered in the current timeline.
Erased is more about school life and the mystery behind the murder. Tokyo Revengers focuses on Takemichi's life as a gangster and in the gang Toman.
I might be a little early into the series but the concept seems to be about the same, i just hope the series is able to achieve what ERASED couldn't.

The similarities between Erased and Tokyo Revengers are uncanny. Both stories start with a main character filled with regrets in life and was suddenly given an ability to go back in time. The plot of both shows also revolve around saving a certain female individual. Even though their narrative may have distinct resemblances, there are also numerous differences between the two titles. The most striking one is the fact that Tokyo Revengers is a gang/delinquent anime compared to the standard elementary school setting present in Erased. Nonetheless if you enjoyed the mystery and time-traveling aspects of Erased, then you'll definitely like Tokyo Revengers.
Just as I thought, Erased was best plot twist I've ever watched and it is similar with Tokyo Revengers but of course you better watch it for yourself.
One day a girl who the MC knew when he was a child is killed. He then starts going back in time to save her from being murdered. Same premise pretty much.
They are both shows are about time travel, specifically saving someone's life by changing the past.

If you enjoyed Erased you might like Tokyo Revengers aswell, They are both about going back in time, redoing something, and trying to stop something from happening, theyre both great shows.
They both share how they time travel to past to save their loved ones
similar concepts.
travel back in time to save loved ones.
both animes/manga handle time travel differently.
they're very different from each other in terms of story-wise.
Every episode I watched of both, I was always at the end of my seat and excited for the next episode.
TR is more gang-related and, I would say, higher stakes compared to Erased.
The soundtrack of both is great, especially the openings.
the mcs are very different but somewhat similar, ig. takemichi pisses me off but also makes me cry with him :(
both are great but if they didn't fuck up the ending to erased, imo erased would be better.
The protagonists are failed adults, with no success in their lives and with many regrets. However, there is an opportunity to fix the past by acting differently, and it can fix the mistakes of years ago.
- Both go back in time and go to the present a few times.
- When they are young again, they dedicate themselves to the maximum to save a girl and other people.
- Both are more serious animes that portray normal life and the consequences of their actions. The ups and downs of life.
1. Time Travel
2. Romance
3. Emotional Attachment

Watching the first episode of this screamed,ERASED to me and so I thought of erased. They're both about a grown guy that goes back to his past to save a friend or his lover. In the case of Erased he goes back to when he was in elementary or grade school. Word of warning tho,bring some tissues when you're going to watch this. Well depends on how you take it but seriously give Erased a watch if you like animes similar to Tokyo Revengers

The base concept of going back in time to when you were a kid in order to prevent murders is very similar, but I think most people will find something to like in either of these.
Both are about a guy who goes back in time to save a girl. Tokyo Revengers decides to spice it up a bit by adding gangs, delinquents, and just brute-looking 15-year-olds. If you liked Erased I highly recommend Tokyo Revengers as it's just a more crazy version with awesome ass characters, and if you liked Tokyo Revengers then I recommend Erased so much as it did the same premise but more focused also no cry baby mc this time

You just have to watch it to see the similarity. Both heroes goes back in time to save a girl that they ve forgotten about in the present.
Both have a similar plot. In both animes, the main protagonists travel back in time to save a certain someone. Along the way, they face many life threatening situations. Erased is a mystery based anime in which the mc has to find the killer. You can binge-watch it in a single day. While Tokyo Revengers involves gang wars and is still on-going. I recommend watching both. You will have the time of your life.

The theme of travelling back in time and changing the present is common for both anime, however, ERASED focuses more on a mystery/psychological story while TOKYO REVENGERS focuses on a action/school drama type of story.
Both are similar in a few ways for example time travelling into the past to save someone and if you loved erased then you should give it a shot!

They are both great time travel animes packed with sci-fi and action, Tokyo Revengers is about a boy going into the past to save his girlfriend and Erased is about a boy going into his past to save his classmate. I personally reccomend Tokyo revengers because it has school motorcycyle gangs and the fights are amazing. If you want to go with something more thriller go with erased becasue it has some crazy plot twists and is a binge-worthy series.

Very similar concept, the main character goes back in time to fix his mistakes but runs into a lot of obstacles. The difference is that Tokyo Revengers is about gangs and Erased isn't. Both of them are really good, they're some of my favorites.
Both anime are working on the similar concept with same MCs goal as to save his close ones by travielnig to past and changing future.
- Supernational / Drama driven story
Erased is really similar to Tokyo Revengers in that the MC goes back in time as his much younger self. The difference is that Erased has more "mysterious" vibes to it, in that he tries to figure out the killer/kidnapper in the story.

Similar concept of adult going back in time into body of his younger self and tries to change the past to save a girl he loves, Furthermore Tokyo revengers is more in a way that shows you about friendship, Squad battles and Action scene but Erased is more in a way that shows you about "heavy" Dramatic scene and Character development.
both have a similar aspect of going back in time to change the past for a much desired future.
In Tokyo Revengers the plot is based around saving someone’s life by travelling back in time in an unknown way.
That synopsis is basically the same as the synopsis of the Boku dake ga Inai Machi.
Time traveling, tragedy, both mains want to save the person they love.

Both of them have the same main plot (Rescuing someone's life), yet 'Boku dake ga Inai Machi' or ''Erased' has more depressed feelings from our main character "Fujinuma, Satoru".
"Erased" came up with a simple premise for this series, but it has quite an excellent execution to end this series.
