SPOILER WARNING!
Erased is one of those short animes you can finish in basically a day or less, the first episode hooks you from the start, main is sort of depressed and isn't doing well in his normal life but has some sort of power which is that of "revival" a thing as far as we know only he has where he has to save someone from something bad happening around him which is a really cool concept but not very detailed explained.
This story has time travel and you see main travel back to his youth and into a future a few times its a really nice setting because he actually changes alot in his old timeline which helps him in his new timline near the end.
Side note before I go any further, the opening for this anime has to be one of the best most catchy most detailed openings that shows you certain things happening as the story progresses and how one of the openings changes in episode 11 of the show.
The characters and animation are really something to behold, each one having a bit of screen time as it goes forward from mains friend to his mom to the secondary main character and to even the villain of the show.
One thing that I disliked is how much they changed from the manga to make this show work, the show makes the villain more obvious and gives certain characters less screen time then they deserved from the manga and even switching certain characters roles or cutting out whole sections entirely, I highly suggest watching Netflix's live action adaption of erased because it adds more from the manag and has 30 min episodes rather then just 24 for the anime.
Overall I give erased a solid 10/10 this is my absolute favouite anime and I loved how they adapted it and even ended it, I won't say it doesn't have flaws but it is one of those animes you have to just give a try and see if the first episode hooks you like it did for me.
