[10 Similar] Anime Like ERASED

When someone you hold dear is met the fate of losing their life, and you have the ability to go back in time to that moment to try and save them, do you have what it takes to do it? In Steins;Gate, science is used to create a time a machine, rewinding the clock and changing the course of fate and time by saving the one life (or two) In Erased, it is a slightly more chaotic as there is no science involved, only a lingering sense of guilt and the ability to rewind the clock before a drastic event occurs.
These parallel lines were what drew me to Erased, and I wasn't disappointed. It did remind me of Steins;Gate with the aspect of time traveling to save a loved one. Changing the course of the present and time itself by making that one change and saving this one life, no matter the outcome. Hence, if you have enjoyed those elements in one of those anime shows, you will definitely enjoy watching the other.

Both series feature spirited protagonists, that might feel isolated from those around them, but are determined to the right thing and fix their mistakes - this may sound clichéd, but they both have enough quirks and enough charm to keep them interesting. From a genre perspective - both feature time travel and the idea of alternate worlds and realities, and the idea of preserving relationships across these boundaries. The artwork, particularly the backgrounds, is something definitely worth noting, as there as some stunning scenes throughout. Steins;Gate has more "lighter" moments, perhaps due to the added length, but both series definitely have plenty of suspenseful moments that'll have you moving onto the next episode as quickly as you can.

Imagine a world where fate demands to be corrected and it is willing to go through an endless binding cycle to achieve that purpose. The curse of time travel being portrayed at its best where the ones involved either witness gruesome deaths or experience it themselves. Happy endings are hard to come by but the future remains uncertain, it is up to the individual to decide the closure they deserve.

- In both you somehow start to feel for MC's for what they went, kinda self-insert animes...
- Both at very end of each and evey episode leaves you at big cliffhanger's...[ I think that's good ]
- By the way, if you like graphical violence - this is for you, just don't expect 90's level of gore/curses and other non-moe stuff..

Both series feature a main character that, through a miraculous event of self-justice, are put in a youthful setting in hopes to solve a major problem in their lives. While Erased focuses on the character progression of those around the main character, ReLIFE is primarily focused on the main character himself.

In Boku Dake ga Inai Machi (Erased) the main character goes back in time to prevent his childhood friend from dying. A similar occurrence happens in Orange when the main character recieves a letter from her future self warning her of her friend's death and guiding her toward changing it. Both anime involve a character who feel worthless and have a rather... dysfunctional life, as well as a character who is looking to save said character.

Both of them have a main character who regrets a certain thing that happened in their childhood involving a girl, and they both try to "fix" it.
Both of them are dramatic, thrilling, psychological and emotional.
AnoHana and Erased have brilliant directing and production, they have the same director, stunning visuals, detailed backgrounds and some hidden stuff in their op and ed, and they're both made by A-1 pictures.

A highly strategic killer who seems too skilled to ever get caught is confronted by possibly the only person ever capable of catching them. One of them also has a supernatural ability which may give them an edge over the other.

In Shinsekai Yori, the protagonist discovers the world she lives in and fought for her people when faced with calamity
In Boku dake ga inai machi, the protagonist seeks to solve the mystery of the serial kidnappings and tries to save victims by going back in time

There are several factors that provide some similarities between both shows. For one thing, the main protagonist's have a mental age that surpasses far more than they appear to be, giving them the advantage of years of experience and wisdom.

Both have really big plot twists you wouldn't expect and both cover people with disabilities and or unfair life chances. They both have very lovable characters too so i would really recommend you watch this if you enjoyed Charlotte as much as me!

A boy who suffers a great tragedy attempts to redirect the course of his life through supernatural means. One-cour length series shows initial promise but is ultimately crippled by inadequate development of characters; ineffective communication of overarching themes; and a hollow, abrupt timeskip conclusion with feel-good intentions that fails to deliver.
