Very well executed, however, last two episodes are rushed

Review of Boku dake ga Inai Machi

Story: 9

The story is excellent, giving me re: zero vibes. A 29-year-old man called Satoru discovers that he has the power to go back in time to stop a murder/death from happening. That night his mother stays in his house and the next day discovers her killed. And this is when he goes back in time. However, he goes back in time to when he was in elementary/ primary school. During this time, a girl in his class goes missing, so first what he does is to try to prevent this from happening. The girl also gets abused by her mother and her mother's boyfriend which also adds to the story.

So, I really, really enjoyed this anime. Packed with thriller, some horror, romance and more. The story altogether was really nice. Trying to save his mother, but to that, he had to save the other people involved in the case as well. The animation was great and beautiful. The music as well, the opening and the ending was beautiful and I liked it very much. However, with all that being said, there is one con to this anime. It was rushed. The anime artist tried to fill the whole anime into just 12 episodes. They could have stretched it to about 15 episodes or such. I don't know if the budget was tight or whatever, but the last two episodes didn't make sense at all. I still gave it a high mark, but I took one mark off because of the ending. I would have liked to see a more satisfying ending, where he doesn't go into a coma, goes into the future where the serial killer is already captured.

Hi everyone, I'm Japanese and English!!

* WORKING WITH THE MAL ANIME CHALLENGE ANNUALLY

Ratings for Anime:
1-5: I don't understand the plot, I didn't enjoy it and I will never watch it again
6-7: It had some good parts, very unlikely that I will watch it again
8-9: It was really good, very likely that I will watch it again, the plot was very clear to me
10: It was one of my favourites, I felt that my heart connected with it, I will probably watch it again

Never Recommend:
1-5: The plot was all jumbled up and I didn't understand what it was trying to achieve, the anime was all of the place, the characters personality, eg: shallow, the ideas and the whole concept, I would never sad if I never watch it again and I will be sad if I had to watch it again.

Probably won't recommend, might mention it:
6-7: It had good parts, maybe I had high expectations for it but it didn't turn out to be the best. I understood the plot and what it was trying to achieve but maybe the climax was too cheesy and I stopped watching it, I wouldn't really want to watch it again, but if i had to watch it again, I won't be super sad

Probably recommend:
8: It had good parts, clear plot, concept but some factors might have dropped it down such as, too cheesy, but it didn't move me, I will probably watch it again though.

Highly recommend:
9: It was good overall, clear plot and concept, character development and not so cheesy, didn't move me as much as 10, never the less, I will recommend it as I enjoyed it a lot.

Definitely recommend:
10: It was virtually flawless, I was moved and I connected with it, I understood everything and what it was trying to achieve, I want to see another season of it, I will definitely recommend it, as it is worthy of peoples time.
