Summary:
Aired: Jan 8, 2016. Struggling manga author Satoru Fujinuma is beset by his fear to express himself. However, he has a supernatural ability of being forced to prevent deaths and catastrophes by being sent back in time before the incident occurred, repeating time until the accident is prevented. One day, he gets involved in an accident that has him framed as a murderer. Desperate to save the victim, he sends himself back in time only to find himself as a grade-schooler one month before fellow classmate Kayo Hinazuki went missing. Satoru now embarks on a new quest: to save Kayo and solve the mystery behind her disappearance.
I watched this anime from a recommendation. No expectations or knowing what I was about to watch.
So the Story is about a 29yr old man whos life is pretty flat but he has the ability to prevent bad event by skipping back in time a few minutes. However a large bad event forces him to skip back years to when he was 10yrs old. So begins the story of Satoru and his quest to save fellow class mate Kayo Hinazuki.
From this point on be prepared to see one of the most heart wrenching and heart warming journey between these 2 as Satoru tries to prevent her death. You will be absolutely hooked and its hard not to binge the entire 12 episodes in one sitting. I found this to be so amazingly touching.
The ending was not to my taste and left a really sour taste in my mouth, it almost felt forced. Regardless of my feeling of the ending I will be sure to watch this entire anime again.
Even if you feel this isn't your type of anime I still believe you could find worth in this if you fall in the more mature audience.
