Weeks ago I was talking to my friends amazing things about BDGIM, now sadly, I must change, slightly, my opinion about It.
The story, even though It doesn't offer us a lot of explanations, I think that this complaint about the time travel, is just plain unnecessary and childish. It does is a solid, agressive, and straightforward story, that sadly ends up with a very lazy, kind-of hurried ending, which wasn't as astonishing as the previous ten episodes (I am considering the ending as the two last episodes of the series). Considering these points, and the loss of quality in the development in the last two chapters, from giving It a ten on a previous review, I must change my opinion to an eight for the story.
Some people disliked the art, but in my very own personal opinion, the art is very catchy, and does express the personality of the characters pretty well. I like It and It really ends up creating a true emotional tie with the characters. Sometimes the quality reduced, specially in the series ending, style is not very appealing for adult characters I must admit, but for the children, It was more than correct. Nine.
I loved the songs in these anime, I really did, specially the ending. When we talk abou sound effects, It is just average. Opening and ending were amazing, Asian Kung Fu Generation, really gave a nice touch in Re:, which melts amazingly with the stories' mood, but what really keeps up the misterious mood was the ending; dark, melancholic and very emotionally intense. Eight.
Characters are amazing, specially the villains (Yashiro and Akemi), they really make us feel an authtentic no-sense evilness, which is the worst kind of evilness you can found in real life, that sick madness for mistreating and killing people, in some times, just for pleasure. MCs are good, but lacked in some way of a more realistic behaivour (Satoru) after some events, Hinazuki was nice, but also, lacking of some necessary emotional response in some situations. SCs like Kenya were quite intriguing, but not fully developed, and also with an unrealistic behaivour towards what Satoru told him, which, even considering his age, sounded just very stupid. Nine, yes, even with the issues mentioned, the characters are pretty nice, I mean, these things are commonly found in bigger manners in much better reviewed animes, and no one is complaining about that.
Totally enjoyable, intense, and that keeps you at the edge of the coach, well, at least the first ten chapters did. Is that kind of series which express the quality in front of the spectator, but also not denoting even a bit of mercy for what the spectator felts. Amazing, I will watch again sometime in the future if I have a chance. Ten.
Ten delightfully made episode, I was really amazed, until the tenth chapter, after that, the quality dropped, not dramatically as some people said, but yes, It does, and does the manga if you belive It was better, well, It wasn't, is as annoying as the anime's. A very tasteless ending which wasn't that bad, but compared to what the series offered from the beginning, then, yes, It's bad. The eding was hurried, out of tone, mood, and poorly managed. A lot of characters wasn't even developed a bit (Kenya, Hiromi), and some other weren't even mentioned again (Jun). It is a Slice-of-life feeling ending, for a psychological-thriller series, just, unbearable. The time travel issue wasn't necessary to be explained, It isn't that kind of series, get over It (A lot of animes doesn't explain anything of how things work, and I don't see a quarter of million people complaining about It).
Boku Dake ga Inai Machi, damn, yes, I will still recommend It, It is that good, maybe the best of the season, but with a very forgettable ending, really, at the point that made a 10/10 series in a 8.8/10 series. If you haven't finished watching It, well, I will recommed you to watch until the tenth chapter, give It a break, and then watch the last two chapters as an alternative ending, I think, It is the best thing you could do with series. It does deserve a remake with a new ending, even if It's not the manga's.
Final Veredict: 9/10 (Because I can't put a 8.8/10 in MAL lol).
