Erased (2016) is a time-travel mystery thriller anime based off of a manga with the same name by Kei Sanbe. In it, Satoru Fujinuma is a 29-year-old manga artist who can’t seem to get his feet under him in the industry. He struggles through life with little passion or ambition, held back by traumatic events from his childhood he can barely remember. In addition to this, Satoru has been saddled with a mysterious event he’s called “Revival”, where he travels backwards in time to prevent disasters. After the murder of someone close to him, Satoru’s Revival takes him all the way back to his childhood, where he has an opportunity to undo the past and save the future.
