Erased

The murder of his mother turns out to be a blessing in disguise for 29-year-old Satoru Fujinuma. You see, he has the gift of Revival, the ability to travel back in time to the moment before disaster strikes, and it has just been triggered. Only this time, it’s in connection to the murder of three of Satoru’s childhood classmates – Kayo, Hiromi, and Aya – 18 years ago.

Stuck in his 11-year-old self again, Satoru must uncover the ghastly truth behind what transpired all those years ago and save the lives of his three classmates and mother before it’s too late. Part murder mystery and part supernatural thriller, Erased is one of my favorite anime in the last five years and easily my favorite of 2016.
