Welcome to the anime that everyone and their moms are talking about(cited by the anime man) Boku dake ga inai machi or erased in English, and nope that's not how it's translated...like even google would translate that right. This anime is a sci fi mystery drama anime that follows the struggles of fujinuma satoru in trying to solve serial crime case in hopes of changing the future.Now you might say that hype usually kills an anime and I really agree in most cases but not this one....cuz it already killed itself at the last few episodes.This anime is really good in capturing our attention to the characters and in keeping us interested in the story.It does mess up at the end but it remains one heluva anime.....so buckle up and let's get going!!!!!!

Art 7/10
The anime has really art good art for most of the part..it may feel from time to time that it's mediocre but i guess that's due to the reason that there is not much to show off about in the anime. In the intense part it really shows liveness in it and brilliance...i really loved it....and there are parts in the anime where like view starts to rotate around certain characters,it made me feel uneasy but honestly there were no issues to complaim about in these scenes...they were accurate and felt smooth....the only issue I had is with some of the characters lips ESPECIALLY satoru's mom MMMMM damn that shit annoys me to hell!!! I feel it's a vacuum cleaner on a face like DAMN!!!!but in the end the art is really descent and eye catching in this anime.

Sound 9/10
Oh boy the soundtrack is awesome in this anime. I am really a guy who thinks that soundtrack plays an important role in capturing the feels of the viewers and this anime did it flawlessly!!!! I mean the opening song is by FKNG ASIAN KUNG FU GENERATION OMG £2¥÷£÷£÷€×8!!!!!! Kimi wa matta boku wa matta togirenai ashita mo sugi de itte....sorry just can't help it. Anyways the soundtrack succeeds in making the intense and dramatic part really feelsy and i love that. The anime's soundtrack is simply memorable.

Story 8/10
Now this kind of story may have been used alot like steins gate....however boku dake ga inai machi still have its own unique touch in its plot...I never felt like comparing this to other anime with the same synopsis but the way the anime handle it's story is PERFECT...I really never like never felt bored at any point in the story...there is always something new, always a surprise,and alot of feels in this anime......buuuut i lied there a bit, it wasn't perfect. Actually the anime did handle everything perfectly until the last few episodes where i felt it became like a mess. That was inevitable actually because they were trying to compress the whole manga into a 12 episode anime and some stuff got lost in the way....regardless the anime's message was strong one and although it was clichéd,it still managed to deliver it an unique strong and senseful way...in the end boku dake ga inai machi really gave us a solid story that kind of messed up at the end.

Characters 8/10
The characters roster if this anime is one that you will always relate to and love. The main satoru seemed boring at the beginning but the anime caught us surprise when showing his motives and regrets....it really help build a strong character and his determination was inspiring and felt real. ....the other characters in the story were also presented really well except for one actually.The other character that i really adored is hinazuki kayo who was such a sweet character in the anime....you can't help but love her and support her.of course another good part is the relationship between satoru and kayo which was really sweet and deep and full of interaction.....yeah it was disturbing and pedophilic but I'll let that pass ehm.There was a character which the anime could have presented better and that's the villain...they did present him well in the manga but the anime was so half assed and made feel so disappointed.By the way you ship a certain relationship in the anime like me but prepare yourself for the biggest middle finger in anime history!!!!! It's a big middle finger that sticks SO HARD that hurt SO MUCH and you could end up hating yourself and this anime. Nevertheless the anime really gave us a good character cast that was almost perfect.

Enjoyment 8/10
The pacing of thw anime feel fast a little bit but you will realize later that the pacing was just right...every episode in the anime is as good as the one before...you will always end up asking for more because the intensity never dies untill of course as I mentioned before the last few episodes

Overall 8/10
Boku dake ga inai machi is anime that really has the potential if being the best of winter 2016 it maybe hyped too much but you will found out that it deserves....I was so close, SO CLOSE of giving it a perfect score but it messed up at the end and killed the enjoyment a little bit but never worry this anime is certainly enjoyable is definitely one worth to watch.
