There are several factors that provide some similarities between both shows. For one thing, the main protagonist's have a mental age that surpasses far more than they appear to be, giving them the advantage of years of experience and wisdom.
The key theme between the two is mystery solving for the purpose of finding out the truth and uncovering the culprit behind the murders and preventing it by whatever means possible.
Both are centered around using time travel to prevent a series of murders, each loop becoming more and more tense. A major plot point centers around protecting a young girl (Satoko and Kayo) from their abusive relative, but the major goal is to uncover who is responsible, and the answer was right under their noses.

Time travelling without time machine? Saving someone from death?
yeah, both shows are delivers these concept with interesting plot ..
Also When They Cry have more darken atmosphere than ERASED
Both series are related to going back in time to stop things happening in the future. The main characters of each know exactly what will happen in the time line, and are trying to change things even though they are both children, however they both have the brains of people a lot older than they actually are.

Erased is very similar to Higurashi's "Minagoroshi" arc by the fact that both carry a prominent theme of friendship and are stories about a time travelling protagonist trying to save their young female friend from domestic abuse, while also trying to stop an unknown villain that lurks in the shadows.
-Both of these shows are excellent for fans of psychological thrillers. They do an amazing job of keeping you wanting more
-Both of the deal with sensitive topics that will make you angry (Good for overall enjoyment of the show)
