Topic	Kokoro's top 100 anime of the past five years.
KokoroAkechi 10/16/17 3:48:49 AM #157:	8. Erased https://myanimelist.net/anime/31043/Boku_dake_ga_Inai_Machi Erased is among the more high profile shows on this list. It's about Satoru who finds himself in his body from 18 years ago as he tries to undo tragic events that happened in his time line. With his foresight he plans ways to protect Kayo, a young girl who he never paid much attention to. However, despite his knowledge he still has the body of a kid. The primary strength of the anime imo is that it has some of the best singular moments on this list. IMO it's rare that a show is going to give you a genuine emotion and at the same time do it consistently and several different types. This excels in that area. There's a show that aired just last season called Clione no Akari that tried to do similar things in terms of emotional impact but they just do it poorly. It's hard to really explain without you having seen both shows but best I can tell you is that besides that based on a production standpoint Clione no Akari is just complete shit Erased gives you plenty of reason to be emotionally connected. For the most part it takes great care in the handling of the progression. It has a couple of the best scenes in the entire list. Kayo fills a unique role within anime. Rare is a character in a show that you feel a wanting to protect and that's really it. The circumstances of her life and the emotion you see on her face when you try to pull her from it are strikingly powerful. At the same time Satoru is a decent main male lead, albeit somewhat predictable overall. The anime is not only the characters changing, but how the changing outlook on the future changes them. The elephant in the room is the ending and that's why it's number 8 on this list and not in the top 3 (although we are splitting hairs around now). Personally I thought the ending was fine, in a similar way that the ending of Charlotte was "fine"). It's more like I'm not really sure what else they could do to give the show some sense of closure for at least some of the characters. Erased was a terrific anime. Probably a must watch. --- Kokoro's Anime Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaIA0gY11FQ_Zh6kLSam5OA Updated: July 27th, 2016. <cite>KokoroAkechi posted [p:888521824] in Kokoro's t...
