Our take on ERASED

This taut anime follows a man who can leap back in time moments before tragedies — until a murder hurls him into his own childhood to prevent a series of killings and save a lonely classmate. Tense, melancholy and emotionally rich, it's a gripping time-travel mystery. If its suspense and heart hooked you, seek out thriller anime and time-loop dramas where saving others means confronting the past.
