REVIEW:
This anime was pretty interesting. It reminded me of the movie "The Butterfly Effect" starring Ashton Kutcher but with a cheerier ending. It was entertaining to watch especially if you don't know anything that will happen (please, don't spoil yourself before watching the whole anime). I liked the bonds that developed between the characters. They were a fun bunch and they helped each other a lot. I didn't give this a higher rating because I didn't feel much of a surprise with the twist. I was like, 'Oh, okay' and then the story went on. There wasn't much back story as to why certain things happened. I felt like there was something missing with the revelation.
I really thought at first that Satoru would have to live the entire 18 years that he skipped back to. He did do that although he skipped 15 years because he was in a coma. Still, it was better than being dead.
I was glad that Satoru was able to change his life from a depressing one to a livelier one. He was able to develop bonds with other people who were still his friends even after fifteen years later.
It was sad that he didn't end up with Kayo even though he was the main reason that she survived. I was not that depressed because I shipped him more with Airi and I was glad that they met again in the end.
I like Satoru's mother. I didn't know why they weren't close in the present time but I was glad to see how supportive she was towards Satoru in the past. She helped him a lot with Kayo.
I don't really remember what happened to Satoru and Gaku. Sure, Gaku revealed himself but I don't remember why Satoru ended up in a 15 year coma. I was glad that they got him to admit what he did in the end. I don't think it was mentioned in the anime as to why Gaku did what he did. I don't really understand his fascination with Satoru and why he's so attached to him.
