Past, present, and future; can you define them?

Are you an anime fan? If not, do you like brainstorming thrillers?  If adding a touch of sci-fi means a perfect dessert for your full-course thrill meal, Erased is here for you. The Japanese name of the show is 'Boku dage ga inai machi'. It's a well-knitted story about a boy, Fujinuma Satoru, and his friends. The show became so popular that there are live-action versions too. Here is a no-spoiler review of the show.

Compact: Balance is the Key

It's a story-driven series. The main component here is maintaining a complex storyline. The show has quite a twisted and complicated plot. Covering up the whole story in 12 episodes is quite a job. The show deserves appreciation for managing all the other aspects revolving around the story. You will get emotional punches, good scripts, and character interactions perfectly connected and well-delivered.

Concept: Creativity and Understanding

The concept is built on a simple human thought process. Now and then we wish to be able to go back in time and change our timeline. Now if you are somehow given the power, you might hamper other people's timelines too. Keeping every aspect of this phenomenon in mind, the story here provides a thrilling adventure in time. You will be unified with the process and will be able to feel the tension throughout the series.

Character Development: Realistic

Characters are developed through numerous interactions. In the series, you will be experiencing smooth character build-ups. There are many kinds of relations shown here. The interaction between a mother and her child, strangers becoming friends, trust building through instincts, etc. Are portrayed in the show amazingly. With the interactions involving the same characters from the past to the future, it's a journey to be remembered. More specifically, the interactions are a key part to solve the thrilling incidents you will be facing in the show.

Frames: Mesmerising

The well-drawn sequences require quite catchy frames. The show here offers some amazing cinematic frames. The animation style is soothing for the eyes and connects with the screenwriting and expressions perfectly.

Conclusion: The Results

The story is good and the character balance is perfect too. The ending seemed a little extended but that clarified the future of the involved characters to a great extent. So, I would suggest you watch and decide the story for yourself.
