Nice introduction of the story. Love Satoru's attitude already. Like he's fed up with life. :D
Seems the one who his mother noticed is the real culprit. Looking forward to the disclosure of his identity.

Great first episode, it has a lot of potential. My favorite first episode of the season so far. The VAs were pretty good.

It was an unfortunate blow to an otherwise great start.

I agree, I don't really mind that they skipped over some other stuff because I think the pacing worked here as the introduction to the series, but that's definitely something I think that should've been left in. And iirc, Satoru didn't meet the culprit on the way up to his apartment either. Not a complaint, just saying. It was used for dramatic effect I guess?

Really liked the first episode though, and hopefully they'll slow things down for the upcoming episodes.

AOTS! If this keeps this up for the next 11 episodes. This will be the aots.

This was a great first episode. the way they set it up was just great. the last little bit had my jaw open the whole time. The mom was really trying to put the pieces together. And it seems like they got the wrong guy. Matter of fact it looked like history was about to repeat ;)

Dat ending tho. Fuck 1-5 minutes. He went back years! So I guess next episode we see the girl in his mercies?

Man can't wait for the next episode.

Loved this! Kinda hate that the manga is still ongoing though. Probably gonna make us read it when the anime is done if we wanna know how it ends..

They probably wanted to hook the viewer with the first episode, and in order to do that they decided to fit the murder in there. Fortunately the pacing wasn't hurt too much, and I'm sure it'll slow down appropriately in the upcoming episodes anyway.

I'm probably just echoing other people here but this was easily the best premiere of the season thus far. The characters behaved like people, the conversations were natural with a bit of wit to them, and the MC's mom was pretty well-characterized despite having less than an episode's worth of screentime.

they did the same thing they did with mahouka: they don't show the protagonist thinking when he talks with others...

is that for practical reasons, or because people really can't stand that? that was what captured my attention when reading the manga, if the manga didn't have that, i wouldn't have checked the anime.

Boku Dake Ga Inai Machi: Very well executed, with incredibly high potential. The MC's "power" could drive this story above and beyond many others, and I have good hopes for it. If they can maintain this and not follow any defined paths (basically, be original), this could possibly turn into a mix of Code Geass & (insert your favorite mystery anime).

Yea it was a pretty rushed, yet good, adaptation of vol.1 that hit the main points.

Holy shit, this first episode was really impressive. I was really captivated. Best first episode so far. Hopefully future episodes will be just as good. This one's going to be a good ride, judging from this episode. I'm looking forward to it. Nice ED too.

As expected A-1 is already skipping lots of stuff from the manga...

The animation was good for A-1 standards wow im surprised (the quality will probably drop to shit next episode lol)

Really enjoyed the first episode. Wondering why his revival went back so far this time and how they're really gonna make it work with the rest of the season, if he's gonna flash forwards to being an adult again and such.

But yeah, left a fun mystery in the air and I'm really looking forwards to seeing where they take it.

Could be a great show. Love the art style and the characters at least aren't all massive tropes.

Amazing. Very good thriller story and I just want know what's going to happen next. The main lead is very likeable and interesting, I hope he resolves all of his worries. I also liked the opening by AKFG. My anime of the season currently.

Fuck Everything is Perfect, I can't believe there's a great Sound[Kajiura, Yuki of SAO, perfect for Thriller] and everything was executed Very Well [As expected of SAO TEAM], But the Revival is almost a Rip-Off from Stains Gate but in automatic ...

The anime excels on Its Main Genres Psychological Mystery, demn this is far better than Perfect Insider ....

I love this but it scares me that the quality is going to drop, I really hope this doesnt disappoint because if it continues at this level it will honestly be a masterpiece.

Kinda hoping there wont be a romance subplot, it will just take away from it >.<

Fuck it

This will be the AOTS.

Without a doubt, loved this so much I had to watch it twice.

A-1 Pictures please hold up, I know they must have skipped lots but I haven't read the manga so it doesn't effect me in anyway.

I mean, WOW. I didn't expect that to be honest. I absolutly LOVE the MC.
I just hope that the "back in the future" would be nicely done > I wish it would be focus on the mystery and not some clichés scenes that are easy to put with that kind of concept. Originality is the key. But I think the author is on the right path to have a 9-10/10 from me ;)

Best premiere episode of an anime I'v seen almost all year. So far, this is on Steins;Gate level of awesomeness now. Hopefully the next few episodes don't get too slow paced because I can see this anime's pacing becoming very slow. BUT, it definite;y has potential to be the best of this season or possibly this year

GAAAAAAAAAAH IT WAS EPIC. So many times I was holding my breath during these 23 minutes. Just... aaaaaaaaaah, how to live till the next week?!
Plot, animation, characters, voice acting, even camera positions in Satoru's house...and tension, tension, TENSION!
I don't regret having this show as the most hyped one in this season, hoping so much they'll keep up with this tempo. And must avoid spoiling myself with manga x3

Awww I'm torn apart.

On one side I'm happy to see this animated. This might also be the first time I really loved a first episode where everyone was screaming AOTS already.

On the other side they rushed and skipped so many great scenes and plot twists from the manga, which were pretty important for character and relation development. The revival scenes where also cut down to one repeat. They should have probably spent two episodes for this or made a double feature out ofthis.

However I can see why they wanted to reach this point and for that is was certainly executed very well.

Best first episode of the season! I have found my first contender for AOTS! Boku dake ga Inai Machi (Erased) is definitely a MUST WATCH if you only have time for one anime this season. That ending was purely mind-blowing! Loved the characters, the OP/ED were really good and the story is just remarkable!
So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS!

Glad I wasn't disappointed by hyping for this. It's already off to a great start.

I still need to get used to Sachiko's lips though. It adds an effect but it's still a bit distracting for now.

I'd say out of all the newly airing anime, this one has the strongest opening episode by far.
