Is the ending implying...

That Satoru gets together with Airi?

Because if so, ick. Ick ick ick ick ick.

I really like 90% of this anime. I love that he didn't end up with Kayo. I think that was a strong writing choice and also it was pretty obvious his actions were motivated by wanting to save her and not from romantic interest. I also think her moving on and the group being trauma bonded to a degree is pretty realistic.

In the last episode my opinion of Misato completely changed. Them blushing together was awesome and I thought it would be a cool out of left field romance. I was totally prepared to ship that.

And then Airi showed up. It's left a bit ambiguous (thank God, but it does seem romantic). I get them being close and having a special bond. But I don't like them together. I like Airi and she's given some of the best lines of the series but she's kind of a too young manic pixie dream girl.

Is this just me? Am I reading too much into it? I'd appreciate everyone's thoughts including people who disagree.

one of the best thrillers ever

just finished this series and for only being 12 episodes, it's one of the best thrillers ever. had me on the edge every episode. I CANT BELIEVE YASHIRO WAS THE KILLER HE WAS LITERALLY THE BEST TEACHER AND A FATHER FIGURE... anyways. Regarding the cuck allegations, you couldnt possibly ask Kayo to wait that long while Satoru was in a coma.

Best mom in anime?

Is Sachiko Fujinuma the best mom in anime? Her intuition, her personality, her drive, her sense of justice, her incredible love as a mother, her sense of including people she knows her son cares for. FUCK I love her, she's an incredible character and fictional mother, I think she's perfect in every way during the show.

Still haven’t found an anime series that matches Erased in quality

There are lots of entertaining anime like Death Note, AOT etc. But no other series was as emotional and complete for me. Although, I’ve heard good things about Steins Gate so I’m planning to try it out

Are the domestic violence scenes recurring?

This anime has been on my watch list since forever, but I never get the courage to keep watching past the scene where the woman forces the girl to submerge her face into ice water on episode 3.

I always watched violent and even gore anime from an early age, but in over 20 years of watching anime this is the only one that ever triggered me. As a victim of domestic violence myself, the depiction was too real for me.

I wonder if those scenes keep coming and if it's possible to skip that one episode before that scene. Or if they appear at all in the manga/other adaptations so I can consume the story without these scenes in particular.

Actually... The 2016 film live-action version is pretty good !

I don't know if any of you have seen it. I've only watched the anime, and I enjoyed it, but the quality—if I may say so—was "poor," which bothered me a bit (I was really surprised to see that is was from 2016). Today I watched the live-action version and really liked it! The actors playing Fujinuma and Airi were great (watched it in japanese), and I think the adaptation was pretty good.

I’m curious to hear what you guys think of it.
