I have been hooked on ERASED since episode one, and with the coming of the finale I must say that this is one of the most well executed plots I've seen in any form of media ever.
The plot is riveting and well paced the entire way through. It is great to see the main protagonist, Satoru, grow into a different person through his experiences, and the progression of his character feels very natural. The ending is complete, and I thought it was a nice way to "close the book", so to speak.
The art is very good, and the stylization is great and extremely subtle. For example, when Satoru goes back in time, the perspective goes from full screen to wide screen and visa versa.
I cannot speak Japanese, so I cannot personally attest to the voice acting. But, to my unqualified ear, everything sounded good.
The music, though last, is certainly not least. Master composer Yuki Kajiura wrote a wonderfully beautiful and varied score.
Final Thoughts
I have read, watched, and played through many great stories, but ERASED stands above the rest in direction, art, acting, and writing.
SCORE 10/10
I Can't See How Anyone Could Improve It
+ Observable Character Development
