Even for those who are a bit reluctant to watch anime, Erased is a true gem about friendship and loyalty in the moments we need it the most. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Danielle Ransom The Daily Dot 01/23/2019
3.5/5
It's a well-built story and literally, not one minute of this show is wasted. Go to Full Review Kayla Cobb Decider 01/23/2019
Sometimes all you want from a murder drama is something scandalous and a bit over the top. Add in some time travel and a manga tie in, and that's the fun binge that is Erased. Go to Full Review Catherine Drake Den of Geek 01/22/2019
A gripping drama driven by some brilliant performances that will keep you clicking that 'Next Episode' button. Go to Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media 01/18/2019
3/5
Erased doesn't move quickly, but it does cast a spell, and it's deliciously different from a bright, brash Western superhero tale. Go to Full Review William Young Black Nerd Problems 06/12/2018
The first couple of episodes are filled with so much tension that you probably wouldn't be able to cut it with Tessaiga. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

rtst B. @ARTISThaha Jun 4 I rewatched Erased an unhealthy amount of times 😌 See more Jackson M @Nshvlleindie 05/11/2025 A transcendant anime, truly heartful and uplifting as much as it is heartpounding. Without a doubt, Erased has the BEST mystery any anime’s produced. You’re hooked. Honestly though, the writers beautifully molded the characters so well that you’re attached heart and soul to each one’s story. Brilliant, fun, and memorable forever. See more Mustafa A @TheMusi 01/19/2024 It's a must see... Except for the last 4 episodes. See more Davis K @RT24935031 12/03/2023 Good time travel anime. The story was simple and not confusing like other time travel anime but still delivered us good plot twist See more London H @Artworks 05/08/2023 A amazing anime! I thought it was going to just be any normal anime I would try to get into, but it wasn't this anime is made full of love! It is heartfelt, heartwarming, special, lovable, & so much more! This is a must watch for those who love anime! See more Spencer P @s_plewe 02/07/2023 Phenomenally written and approaching its themes of time travel, friendship and child endangerment with caution and surprisingly solid landings, Erased is a truly top-notch Anime drama.
