Review:
Recommended by my Cousin Nate.
All I knew about this anime going into it was that it was supposed to be really, really good. So, my expectations were high. And they were quite frankly met for the first 8 or so episodes.
That was until Yashiro was revealed as the killer, which then led the show into a path that makes for an ending worse than Bokuben. This is why I hate anime original endings, or just shitty anime adaptations in general. STOP. CHANGING. THE. STORY. FROM. THE. MANGA. IT. FUCKS. UP. THE. ENTIRE. TIMELINE. I get that u only have 12 episodes to work with, but when you have something as complex as Erased, you have to include all the details instead of explaining things as “he did it because yes”.
Such a disappointing ending. Had SO much potential to be great. The ending gives closure, but it just makes no sense and was 200% rushed bc they had no more episodes to work with. I’d rather have an Erased anime Movie than this shitty ass rushed unexplainable dogshit. So annoying dude. The entire spider thread thing made the show so confusing, they ripped it from the manga but didn’t care to make it link up with the story they had set up. Nothing was thought one step ahead for. Was gonna give this like 9.8/10 or something but the ending is so dogshit.
