The story follows Satoru Fujinuma, a 29 year old manga artist. However, he also has an unusual ability in which he named "Revival." It essentially will force Satoru to relive a moment in order to change another person's death. However, upon a certain Revival, he is sent back in time to when he was 11, and must solve a murder case with the knowledge he knows of then.
The story is 10/10. Amazing writing, beautiful lines and quotes, very entertaining while still not being overly predictable.
The artwork is 9/10. Well drawn anime has become more common as the years go on, with higher quality production and drawing, and this anime is no exception.
The sound is 9/10. Both the OP and ED are perfect for the anime. Especially the ED, Sore wa Chiisana Hikari no Youna (それは小さな光のような)" by Sayuri.
The characters are 8/10. While each and every character is unique in their own aspect, they don't deviate too far from on another and from the normal person, making them relatable to yourself.
The enjoyment is 9/10. This anime was a "must watch" every week and it delivered almost every single time. "What's going to happen next?", "I wonder if they'll be important next week.", "I can't wait to see what unfolds next time." are some of the things you'll constantly hear from people watching this anime.
Overall, 9/10. Boku dake ga Inai Machi was one (if not the most) of the heavily anticipated anime of Winter 2016 and it turned out great! While some may say this is just overdone and easily seen through, I personally think that the story, art, sound, and characters all came together to make the enjoyment great.
