Oh no, but you didn't comment on one of the best things about this OP. At 10:04 when the title shows up on screen, on the left, you can see that the writing of the kanji is very sharp. But as you read more towards the right side, the writing becomes more blunt and cutesy. It's like going from Times New Roman to Comic Sans. It's symbolizing Satoru going from his adult self to his child self.

+amon nunes FarofaPoop Some people might say that And I cant blame but Its not out of place. it was a hidden concept of the plot that satoru's timeline now changed Because of a jump leap for being in a comatose state. So now the future/life he once had has been erased and the future of his friends are now moving forward without him which is why he was not there. Kinda Feels like HE was the one who was erased(not kayo) from the reality/original timeline he once knew, You see what I did there, No? okay :(. It was just rushed because the anime rushed some parts and changed some parts from the manga because they didnt want a s2 . If the show was more than 12 I can see that opening be used several episode before going back to its original op People would easily Understand its deeper meaning and about the story about kayo and Airi's Role. Ep 10 and forward really felt rushed to me when I read the manga with its differences.

denzel padilla I see what you mean by that, but really it's just my opinion on how Episode 11 turned out. Honestly, when I watched the OP I was thinking about Satoru's fate, if he died or if he just went comatose and when he appeared in that episode he was... in a coma. For 15 years. BECAUSE HE DIDN'T JAM THE SEATBELT.

I just think you missed on only one interesting part of the OP. And that is the scene where the blood spills over Kayo, Airi and Based Mom. With Kayo, the blood, despite covering only partially the top right of the screen, has already overlapped her face, alluding to her death being in the past. On Airi, it is coming closer to her, but it only manages to barely touch her arm and leg, as she survives the attempt on her life with injuries on these same places. And for the Mom, the blood is almost completely covering her face, but it is still flowing, as her death is recent and not all the way through before Satoru finds her.

Also the fact that we're looking at him from Satoru's point of view also and him turning back unable to see us marks a disconection imaged by the bars saying Satoru can't help him. And the image isn't moving, that is important to show that the situation isn't going to change (and right then the time thing happens) The mom and the other images are also static meaning the same thing but then Satoru walks forward unfreezing everything. Maybe I just pointed the obvious I don't know, did I ?

Hey Geoff, I love your analysis, and I was eagerly waiting for this What's in an OP? episode since ERASED came out. So glad you could finally cover it! Even so, I'd like to point out something: The person "sitting" in prison IS NOT Jun Shiratori, it's Satoru. There's 3 pieces of evidence that support this: 1. The inmate's hair. If you pay close attention, the style is more remnant of Satoru than of Jun. 2. The shot itself. On Episode 1 (I think), Satoru thinks about Jun and his death row; when he is shown, Jun AND the camera itself are clearly different from the one in the OP. 3. The OP Without Satoru. In this OP, the inmate is also missing, hinting that it was Satoru all over, as that would've been his fate if he didn't Revival one last time. Thanks for reading, and best of luck with future episodes!

Satoru's mom noticed Kayo and told her to go live a better life. That's when Kayo stopped and decided that she was going to move on, whether Satoru woke up or not.

"All the cars are black and white except two" Actually, only one of those cars is white, so I don't think it's fair to call attention to the blue and red as being separate from that one. Notice that the two black cars are on the edges-- possibly as a symbol of death at the beginning and end, like, say, the deaths in the past and the present that lead to the conflict of the series, also acting as a frame for the white, blue, and red. Red is in the center, meaning violence is the focal point of the series, and, to the left, reading in a Japanese approach of right to left, violence gives way to hopeful blue, and, eventually, to pure white, while the black of death still exists in Satoru's mind as he races to stop the murders.

You know I was watching this thinking you wouldn't actually get to the OP without Sotaru in, thank god you did, I am actually so thankful someone else felt the need to comment on something so small yet so big at the same time. Also I think its a really cool idea to cover the ED as well, like you said yourself you loved the show and all, the ED is such a beautiful song as well. Can't explain how much I love these videos.

nope, they showed that same image in episode 1 or 2 when talking about Jun. The reason he wasn't in the cell in the ep 11 op was probably bc satoru prevented him from being framed so he never went to jail.

@Dragonknight20xx8 жыл бұрын
+Percy Pikmin I thought so too initially but there's a small detail that contradicts this: - The person in the prison cell was back behind bars in the final episodes opening. The question is: "Could that even be Satoru? He was never shown in a cell after all..." True, but the opening works with metaphors and (potentially cut) concepts just as much as it employs foreshadowing. And since he was captured as well as handcuffed by the police it's obvious that this is the future awaiting Satoru in his fucked up (default?*) timeline. Now, much more important, could that still have been Jun? No. No, it couldn't have been him. Because, as you yourself pointed out, Satoru changed the past so much at that point, that "Yuuki" never got incriminated. "But wait! It may just be the Jun from the fudged up timeline, right?" Not exactly. First of all, if that was the case, why would he be missing in the previous episode's op? And secondly, at that point in the series, the future was already changed for the better so why would that future even still be relevant? It's way more plausible, that this is a metaphor for the murderer screwing up the protagonist's life, one way or another. Not to mention Satoru's (and co.'s) entire life(s) was (were) forcefully impacted/restricted, which is implied by a jail sentence, whose entire point is to restrict contemporary freedoms. But hey, that's just my train of thoughts. If there's any detail I overlooked, which may turn all of my inane ramblings upside-down, please feel free to point it out! *Whether the first timeline we observe is even the first or not can be debated. There isn't all that much pointing towards such a possibility, but there isn't much disspelling it either. So it's very possible, that when Satoru as a child said, he could have prevented Kayo's murder, he may not have blamed himself for no reason. Chances are he already had "revivals" as a kid or another older version of him already tried to change the past, but failed and was stuck too long in his child body. That, coupled with the traumatic experience/depressing reality that he was powerless against fate, prompted his mind to erase his more mature/intelligent/calculating part as a result, Admittedly that is, if anything, not much more than an impressive display of hugely grasping at straws, but... eh... speculating is fun at times. I'm somewhat niffed, that Jeff didn't mention how similar Satoru's and Yoshio's poses are in the shot with Airi, Kayo and the mother. It was a great... red herring, as it turns out, for Satoru BEING the killer, but at least it implied their two-sides-of-the-same-medal relation. But oh boy, I'm rambling again... sorry, I kinda tend to get sidetracked on occasion. Not to mention that wasn't even part of the original conversation, so I'll stop here.

loved the video! i'd tried sussing out a lot of the hidden meaning and symbolism in this OP back when it was airing, but you managed to dive even deeper than i did and produce a great analysis. i was pretty hyped for this video and it didn't disappoint! also, it'd be cool if instead of covering the ED, you did a What's in a Scene of yashiro and sato's final stand on the roof. but if this turns out to be your last video on bokumachi, then thank you for all the great meta you've made regarding this series :^)

I look up for reviews because I like listening to people actually breaking down the aspect if stories they're reviewing, managing to create theories to questions whose answers never actually revealed in the story. You don't actually do that, but I'm not complaining. No, seriously, I'm not. Because you take a piece of the story (in this case the op), and break it down into tiny tiny bits. I love it! I don't get reviews that simply tell me about things that I can understand by simply watching. So yeah, I love you. Now if only you review more animes that I actually watch... haha!

@Minigore128 жыл бұрын
+Griggity Groznack There are plenty of people who find it overrated because of certain aspects of the story that don't really stand out. For example, it fails completely as a mystery, and the people defending the show say...well, that wasn't really the point of the show -- to be a mystery. There were also complaints that Yashiro was a bad villain, there were lots of set-ups that felt convenient, and the show began to spiral downwards in the last few episodes were the pacing began to skew. I personally fall in the middle, because I don't really accept the argument that this show wasn't intended to be a mystery. The show failed to convince me otherwise when I think about how they literally dedicated an episode into the mystery aspects of the show. I think the drama was able to carry the show but I don't think it's as good as everyone said. Also there's always a group that dislikes an anime in the beginning. They just become more vocal when the flaws began to surface, or when events began to happen where people are able to create flaws to attack the show with.

The ending killed it for some people. (and others started hating it the episode before that, when we found out Kayo had a baby with another guy and didn't save herself for a kid that saved herself for a guy that was in a coma. But those people are goblins, and should be slaughtered in the forest.)
