About ERASED

Meet ERASED (Boku dake ga Inai Machi), a supernatural, seinen and mystery anime by A-1 Pictures (2016). Here is the premise in a nutshell. At its core: When tragedy is about to strike, Satoru Fujinuma finds himself sent back several minutes before the accident occurs. The detached, 29-year-old manga artist has taken advantage of this formidable yet enigmatic phenomenon, which he calls "Revival," to save many lives.

Beyond that: However, when he is wrongfully accused of murdering someone close to him, Satoru is sent back to the past once again, but this time to 1988, 18 years in the past. Soon, he realizes that the murder may be connected to the abduction and killing of one of his classmates, the solitary and unexplained Kayo Hinazuki, that took place when he was a child. This is his chance to make things right.

As a supernatural title, spirits, curses and unexplained forces shape both mood and plot. This one is best suited to fans of eerie, otherworldly settings.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by A-1 Pictures, so the studio's house style defines how ERASED looks and moves on screen. The supernatural focus matters here: spirits, curses and unexplained forces shape both mood and plot. A community score of 8.3/10 puts it among the better-received supernatural titles. Released in 2016, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
