SCRIPT:
If I had been directing the scenes, I would have done them like this:
Takashi is running down the middle of the school hallway; he throws open the classroom door and tries to get his friend to safety, not caring about the students in the whole school.
-> Takashi runs to the warning room and calmly tells all the students to take cover, explaining the situation; and then goes to get his friend.
The chaos scene at the school.
-> Framing Takashi sitting, calm and unconcerned amid the mess. Doing so would have given more authority to the character, making him look like a really tough guy and a ... leader.
While there is the shot of Isashi transforming, with the tranquility around, I would have had the main character approach the near-zombie and, after saying “Sorry buddy... see you up there again” I would have blown his head off. The audience doesn't expect it, the audience is shocked, the audience is happy, the end. No comments.
CLICHE:
Of all the places zombies could go, they went to the warning room. As he gives the warning, they attack him by making everyone hear the shouting live
Inserting goofy, stupid characters and giving them a main role in the story.
The bus flips over and blocks the exit.

QUESTIONS:
1.
Why is he calling the father with the emergency number? Why are the phone lines clogged? Why does he bring up his father's secret number after three episodes and not right away?

-1pt. Takashi says: "He too is..." How does he say “he too is...” if he is the first zombie they meet?
-1pt. The professor bitten transforms in seconds, Hisashi after hours. How is that possible?
-1pt. She wants to save an almost-dead man because of her boyfriend. Irritated me.

IMO-in my opinion

SCRIPT:
Dealing with a topic as heavy as pedophilia is not for everyone, easier to talk about high school love in isekai ways with gifted young girls.
The first episode is crucial in the continuation of the series, and ERASED proves it. Surprise... there has to be a surprise.
I didn't like one scene, the one of the police coming so fast, the neighbor sees Satoru, runs away, he chases her, and there are already police underneath.
Satoru changes pieces of the past thinking he can make it, but the past repeats itself in other pieces, ruining the plans. Good script writing.
The screenwriters were very good at ... not letting you know who the culprit was, playing with the facial expressions and body movements of the characters. For a moment I started to doubt everyone, I got the impression that anyone could be the culprit, from Jun to Yashiro to Sawada. If you noticed, they use the same persuasion technique, to set up different characters. ex. with Jun, when he talks to Satoru about Aya, you see concern in his eyes; same with Yashiro when Satoru discovers the candy in the car, you see anxiety in his finger slamming against the steering wheel. Then I hide everything with perfection, and you say, it can't be him, then who is it?
-This is the world we live in: you trust people who are close to you and you don't even know who they really are.

CHARACTERS:
it's nice to see Sachiko defending her son and Kayo from Akemi, in the past, knowing that in the future she's dead. I would feel proud to have a mother like that, tough in appearance but 100% understanding, letting her son live free however always controlled.

Sachiko: don't I get in your way?
Satoru: yes
Kayo: m-but no, you don't...
Sachiko: you even have the courage to say yes!
haha haha

Airi (IMO) more than being a secondary character, is the representation of trust (as in Seven Deadly Sins).

Satoru: Airi why... do you trust me?
Airi: it's not that I trust you -- it's that I want to trust me.
Airi: if I say I want to trust you, I'm doing it for myself.
Airi: I do it because I want others to trust me in return.



SOUND:
Good intro Re:Re. Which is also found written on the wall under the bridge, I thought it was the anime Re:Zero instead it is the opening.

Translated with DeepL

I could summarize and divide the plot into two parts: the love square or trapezoid between the friends, and granting the wish of a ghost who can raise objects.

If all fathers were like Jinta's we would all be better off. The calmness with which he deals with the subject of his son not going to school and other issues is one of the few.

Chills and tears in the eyes during the scene where Menma writes in the diary.

The atmosphere created at the end is not enough to make some tears fall.

I liked Jinta's Italian voice, although, in the sad scenes, it clashed with her seriousness.

"indoor ... sunstroke" haha haha

As Professor Chibiki said, "It's not normal." I think he was referring to the direction behind the last episode because "it's not normal" to see stuff like that.
I didn't know they made an anime adaptation of Final Destination.
Are you telling me that basically, Mei sees the dead with her left eye, knows who the extra person is, and doesn't say it all this time? I don't understand the point of giving her such power, and I don't understand, why make 12 episodes if it could have been closed in 6.

EPISODE by EPISODE:
Episode 1:
the decision made to have the characters speak with constant image changes almost ... disconnects the synchronization of the dubbing.
SOUND - perfect in the elevator scene, conveys the right emotions
ART - the drawn background repainted with outlines in black and not done in PC, awarded, creates the right atmosphere.
Episode 2:
Kouchi follows Misaki all the way without saying anything, it doesn't make sense. did he want to talk to her, did he want to play a joke on her, or did he want to know where she lives? in reality, you shout the name, you say "OH MEI", you don't follow her for 1km without saying anything, at least I did.
ART - the bridge of the glasses from a distance looks like a mask
Episode 3:
the girl's death as much as it looks science fiction, it's fine, and Kouchi's reaction is not real. no surprised or grossed-out faces from the blood.
Episode 5 - 10:
everything was fine, here we were aiming for 7. Each episode tried to explain the mystery more and more, with some mistakes here and there, but always passable.
the fact that the 3rd graders are more surprised at the death of classmates than Kouichi is wrong IMO. they've seen a lot of it, and he already at the first time reacts like it's nothing. people in real life can't sleep after seeing such scenes, and high school kids can't.
Episode 11 - 12: "Final Destination"
there are so many mistakes, wrong directions, etc. that I don't know what to call it. this episode brought my rating, which had gone up to 6, back to 4 until episode 11. a horror film in which no tension is created, cannot be called a good horror film. Kouichi enters the temple as if it were his home, despite the teacher telling them to stay here, despite everything falling apart, despite everyone dying before their eyes, no emotion, no nothing, it looks like watching boys who are veterans of the war in Afghanistan. these kids are dodging knives as if they were black belt masters of Krav Maga. there are too many explosions as if someone had left gas canisters in the middle of the temple. the glass hurls itself at Akazawa but not at Mei and Kouichi, what were they protected from?
AFTER FINISHING:
the decision to have everyone inside the curse die one by one, from Ep. 3 to Ep. 6 makes no sense, it seems almost forced, they die because Kouichi is about to find out something, then they start dying randomly, by now Kouichi knows everything anyway.

SOUND:
catchy opening, apt for the horror theme. the bit in each final part that encapsulates the scenes of the following episode is also very nice.

ART:
not a fan of the big-eyed design. As for the backdrops, I liked them more than once, the right colors created the right atmosphere.

CHARACTERS:
- Kouichi Sakakibara: protagonist design of the usual guy with bob hair (seen in absolute duo, rewrite, angel beats... )
- Misaki Mei: design enhanced with an eye patch, without it she would have been one of many white-haired protagonists (Kanade angel beats, Julie absolute duo...).

AFTER OVA:
the topic of biological and nonbiological parents, of mei would have been nice to see it addressed in an episode.

We going to start from the bottom and work our way up towards the light. Maybe I'll be too harsh on this show.
When I watch an anime I always try to see, where the arc is pointing, what is the purpose behind the plot, are the characters inherent, do they work...

SCRIPT:
If you sit down and just immerse yourself in the art, music, action, and comedy then you might enjoy this anime quite a bit, although if you are a fan of psychological anime there is nothing to think about.
The possibility of doing well was there, also because there are anime who have done it and ... without comedy. The plot was bad handly. The story is humorous for the first few episodes, then it takes new themes out of the magic hat and throws them in, and in the end, everything explains itself.
I enjoyed the zany part of the show not as much as the serious part.
* SPOILER
ep.7 made me think. if my brother was sick, I would dedicate all my time to him, knowing that one day he might no longer be there.
Me -"I want to spend as much time as possible with you... you might miss me in the future". Then I will dedicate myself to my future.
*

CHARACTERS:
I'd have been interested in other character's backgrounds that unfortunately were not developed. You had the guy who never stopped dancing and only spoke small snippets of vague English. You had the introverted girl who was always on her own and who had a love for puppies and the weapon-obsessed, hot-tempered guy who had a crush on one of the main female protagonists. After reading a review, I think these 3 supporting characters had the potential.
Everyone talks about TK in reviews, and it's normal since he's the strangest character that everyone would have liked to know more about.

ART:
It enters the table: "big-eyed animation", together with No Game No Life, Absolute Duo, ...
It was good, I agree with others.

ART:
I felt like I was seeing a Disney animation, 100 Dalmatians.
The details behind every gear must have made the animators spend a lot of time.
The scenes inside the moving tower, with those elaborate doorways, full of gears, deserve a 10.
I liked the camera following the characters like a dolly rather than the usual right-left transitions

SCRIPT:
1866 quarrel between father and son, two scientists with different ideas. On the one hand, science seen as progress for the well-being of humanity, on the other, science used as the destruction of the enemy for a utopian equality of the human species. Who will be ... able to put an end to this quarrel?... The nephew. The future of the world in the hands of young people is what I have always believed in, and still believe in. Those who watch anime should feel like heroes of their own lives, like Ray, even if I think this anime didn't convey this message in the best possible way. It's not inspiring enough.

NOT FINISHED ...

The script is not original. You can see the American hand behind it.
EPISODES:
-The first episode: with family scenes, the ninja boss, and the dark themes done at night, was 7. As it went it lost something along the way. After the excessive, and weightless battles, we got to 5.
BATTLES:
-With the addition of mecha suits they lost flavor.
-Too many after episode 4. I would have lingered on the story rather than doing 5 min of fighting.
DESIGN:
Good backgrounds of cities, and the countryside where Logan and his family live.
... CHARACTERS:
-They are well developed so far, I have no things to say.
NEWs:
The device that makes the ninjas change faces is a nice gimmick, which in my opinion needs to be dissected more. They could have brought out fights, betrayals between ninjas, mistaken identities, etc. Come to think of it, who created it?
OP & END
Nice opening introduction, with Logan starting to play guitar.
VENGEANCE with the union of rock and pop is not bad, EYE OPENERS fits in as well.

Hoheneim (Ep.62): "He can't hold back the founder or whatever." This anime I would call it: or whatever.

Screenplay:
• When the story starts with comedy, it's a good start, but here...the gags took away the seriousness of the themes addressed and gave room for unreal things. This can't be a 10.
The last 4 episodes left me with my mouth open the whole time. if gouging out my eyes didn't hurt, I would have done it.
I felt annoyed to see the answer to the questions, in the following episode, they did not create the climax. They made the story easy to manipulate. They could have explained any ... event by pulling the rabbit out of the hat. Leaving that aside, who can explain the purpose of this anime? Hoheneim is a slave -> From his blood is born a homunculus, due to the quest for immortality -> Homunculus wants to be free and creates the whole mess.
So inside Hoheneim's blood was that thing. What was it doing inside, and what would it be? Too many questions...
• There are many good quotes and phrases. Some of them (in Italian)
- "Senza sacrificio l'uomo non puo ottendere nulla, è il principio dello scambio equivalente."
- "Ci serve solo un colpo di genio"
- "Quale felicità si puo mai ottenere distogliendo lo sguardo dalla verità?"
- "Lo faranno all'infinito, eppure non impareranno mai. Gli esseri umani sono sciocche e misere creature."
- "Speravo che la pioggia potesse lavare via la mia tristezza. E invece, ogni goccia che cade sul mio viso mi deprime ancora di piu."
- "Le cose che brami sono desideri. l'avidità non è buona ne cattiva. gli esseri umani sono abituati dare un valore morale a tutto, e per questo vanno in palla."
...
• The fact that there is no comedy or gags among the themes confused me since three-quarters of the anime is jokes and chibi gags.
• I would not speak of errors in the script but rather of little time and serious work spent behind it.
in chases, not a shot goes in, but in ambushes, all shots go in the knee precisely.
why is everyone fighting with their bare hands against the guinea pigs sent by the doctor with the gold tooth? they could easily use the powers
so Selim is a baby in the original form, which fits in the palm of a hand, on which they have done experiments, and has a philosopher's stone inside...😶 They showed an innocent child for half the series, half a monster. without creating doubt, without first putting any scene that he meant something.
instead, envy would be a little green monster.
Why doesn't anyone have time to help Edward but everyone has time to talk?
• There is too much chance, there is too much fate. you see an episode in which everything connects perfectly: the characters are in the exact place, exact moment; they have a doubt, no problem, the answer comes.
Characters start talking about a new topic and nothing else is talked about. e.g. "promised day", an episode where you only hear "promised day".

Drawing:
• I have nothing to say about the design, it's normal nothing much. Maybe the design combined with the screen disappoints. the emotions realized badly, I'm not talking about the confrontations that's better. the cliffhanger was the ugliest thing in the series, not the design but the fact that everything has to go according to their timing. you have to stretch the episode, so he doesn't have to die, and the blow doesn't do anything to him (e.g. Sloth gets a blow from the tank, which bounces off him, but in the elevator, the same tank throws off the wall)

Characters:
• They indeed give space to the background of many characters but this background certainly isn't developed well.

Chart of characters:
• Bad: Selim Bradley, May
• Good: Van Hohenheim
• Great: Olivia Armstrong, Father of Homunculus, Roy Mustang, Riza Hawkeye, Scar, Kimblee

Dubbing:
• to be honest I didn't feel bothered by the voice actors' voices, but they didn't seem relevant to me. After this anime, I don't want to hear Edward's voice actor again. the voice actors talked too much in the last episodes during the battles, they could have saved money by making them talk less, and silence should also be used if they know how to do it.
I got chills from the transmutation of the daughter into a chimera, expanded by the chimera's robotic voice and the soundtrack.

Sound:
• I can say that the one thing I can't complain about is the sound. good use of sounds, soundtracks, and good openings and endings
"let it out", "again", "period", "rain" enter on Spotify.

Translated with DeepL from Italian.

You notice the familiarity with Kouta Hirano's "Hellsing", the style, the gags, the themes.

STORY:
• The plot is relatively straightforward with it being a large-scale war fought by two opposing sides. The Drifters along with the support of the Octobrist organisation are pitted against the Ends led by the notorious Black King. The Black King whose identity is shrouded in mystery, vows to destroy the world completely by erasing all types of civilizations to form his new empire. What makes this experience incredible, is that the characters in it, are real historical figures, otherwise, it would have been one of the usual military, isekai, historical anime.
• ... The conflict between Easy and Murasaki isn't explained, what caused them to start sending people to this unidentified new world?
• the greatest leaders of various eras gathered together in a parallel world. I would say, a little patriotic given that the 3 protagonists are Japanese, even if it's plausible, after all, who wouldn't praise the stories of their compatriots?
• the gags about St. Germain and his gay subordinates surprised me at first and made me laugh every time I heard "finocchio".

ART:
• "pinwheel eyes" 👍 typical Kouta Hirano style.
• ZERO censorship, which makes the experience even more enjoyable.

CHARACTERS:
• You are inclined to google them and get to know their stories because they are so incredible to watch.
• Toyo is a crazed warrior who loves decapitating enemy warriors, as long as they are male. He follows samurai policy, does not like the thought of women engaged in combat, dishonor must be paid with harakiri, and the enemy without his sword should not be killed.
• Nobunaga is a strategist (prefers to leave the leadership to Toyo and manage everything behind the scenes) and brutal (would kill anyone in his path).
• The black king despite being the antagonist follows a righteous ideal by some stretch: giving nonhumans a civilization.

BATTLES:
• the cliffhanger was appalling.

SOUND:
• I found myself singing the OP when I was unaware of it.

Screenplay:
1. The arrival of the annihilation team disfigures Section 4, which seemed to be the strongest. Good plot change. The butt joke made in the car by a teammate. the story seems episodic, each episode dealing with various different themes: friendship, love, clashes between family clans...
2.
3.
4.
5. Good quotes:
- "This sentimentality of yours is your weakness."
- "There is no next time in a real battle. you cannot choose your opponent in a real battle. losing means dying. when a person with responsibilities dies, a hundred people will die with him."
6.
7. Some errors in the script in my opinion:
- Tempting to ... kill some people when throughout the anime they do not make an issue of it.
- The still images on Kagura's butt. the fanservice hentai.
- Rather than developing the love between Yomi and Noriyuki, they could explain the story behind Kazuhiro.
8.

Drawing:
1. Bad the Kasha monsters made in CGI.
2.
3. The final shot I liked, though not surprised having seen something similar in Akame ga Kill.
4.
5. Some mistakes:
-
-
-
-
-
6.

Characters:
1.
2.
3. Still kids with supernatural powers. Kagura doesn't bat an eye at killing monsters but is shocked to see people possessed. In Ep. 5: I return to the character development of Kagura, who in Ep. 2 defeats the monster with determination in her eyes and then cries continuously like a spoiled child.
4.

Dubbing:
1. The dialogues between the Nabuu brothers are funny.
2.
3.
4.

Sound:
1.
2. Good use of music at critical moments.
3.
