ERASED - Recommendations

Hutai says...

the Main Character in both shows go back in time to prevent something horrible that will happen in the future

Camimok says...

because both of them use time treveler...and i really recomd this to you guys who want to watch,no i really want all of you to watch this bote anime

Oneisin says...

There is some reflection, a sci-fi atmospheer, the main characters wants to save someone, he got a power he doesn't understand... Realyif you enjoyed steins;gate just go on!

geoisevil says...

Both have a focus on time travel and using it to save people, which has its consequences. As of writing this ERASED only has one episode out, so it's hard to tell if there will be more similarities to come, but from just the first episode I knew that this show had the potential to become as great as Steins;Gate.

goldenphoenix101 says...

It's hard to talk about ERASED without spoiling much, suffice to say there are a lot of very similar themes between it and Steins;Gate, and if you enjoyed one, you will definitely like the other

Mikasa201 says...

Erased is more serious and dramatical, while Steins Gate is a comedy. But time travel theme and rescuing loved ones makes them pretty similiar. So if you like Erased, you definitely should try Steins Gate. Mwahahahaha!

OrangeCrust says...

Similar dark storyline with helpless protagonist. Time travel oriented, but the concept of time travel is flawed in that the protagonist is powerless to do anything but simply watch events go by.

jrl921 says...

Both deal with time travel and trying to change the past to save someone. Erased is more actual time travel where as steins gate is sending messages into the past to change time. Though its still airing as of this recommendation Erased is jumped its way to one of my all time favorites with steins gate, if the rest of the story stays in this direction its gonna be great. Stories and obessions the main characters have in righting the past help elevate both shows to the top for me.

chibiuwuu says...

Both animes have an element of phsychology, mystery and time-travel, well thought out plots, and tragedy.

chasm says...

Drama, comedy, a tiny bit (LOL) of time travel, these two have quite a few similarities while still maintaining unique plots and good pacing

frp says...

Both of them deal with MC using time travel to save his loved ones. Time travel part in Steins;Gate is much better however.

ScarletRain says...

Both has time traveling theme. Protagonists are doing everything to prevent bad things and save his friends from danger.

DanDoubleL says...

The two have similarly unique twists to the time travel genre- rather than physically travelling to the past, the protagonists find themselves in their younger bodies, whether by a few days or by decades, with knowledge of the future.

gintama says...

Both are quite similar. The protagonist travels back into the past to save his loved ones. I enjoyed both these anime.

YuiYui says...

Both follow someone who travels in timein order to prevent something from happening in the timeline that they sit in, even if it risks their future. Both mains are quite determined characters who won't stop and will do anything for what they want to occur, they also both have a more serious approach to this idea.

LadyPsychic says...

Both anime deal with time travel (albiet in different ways).  The protangonists of both series try to save the people they care about.  Both series have great production values and can get rather intense at times.  If you like one of these series then you should check out the other.

notoriousj0e says...

Although both Steins;Gate and ERASED are science fiction anime dealing with time travel to some degree, that is not the reason that these two anime are so great. Both manage to tell a gripping story without any action. Time travel is touched on in both anime, Steins;Gate to a larger degree, but that doesn't define the anime. With only a moderate suspensiion of disbelief, ERASED and Steins;Gate offer intricately woven tales withrealistic and relateable(mostly) characters. Both are excellent, and while Steins;Gate is cemented as a classic in the anime world, ERASED may be on its way to doing the same. I would reccommend either in a heartbeat.

luckie13 says...

The most obvious fact you should watch these two shows is that they both use time travel to prevent something from happening. That is true however the time travels work slightly differently and the two shows offer a slightly different take on time travel, in Erased it seems involuntary wheras in Steins; gate they are actively trying to travel in time. Both stories are rather bittersweet, but I must admit that Erased is slightly easier to get into as the first 9 or so episodes of Steins;gate is character development. Don't let that discourage you, both shows are worth watching, and even if at the end you find Erased disappointing, you can still formulate your own opinions about it without being brainwashed by the internet.

Silvrex says...

These two animes are so similar. Erased and Steins;Gate both use time in order to save someone. Both animes gives you the plot twists and feels. Definitely recommended.

Chitaka says...

Both Erased and Steins;Gate involve multiple leaps of time travel by one person to try and save the lives of one or more other people. They both have a similar suspense and strategic approach to changing the future and they both show just how much some "insignificant" actions can affect the future at large. Steins;Gate however has a more scientific approach however and it gives much more explanation of just how the time traveling works

Aerythrin says...

These are both time-travel anime which focus on the main character working to save the life of a dear friend (Steins;Gate) or someone they feel sorry for (ERASED). The art styles are different, but both shows are filled with tension and twists.

Nauman says...

They both are capable of giving you them feels and are slightly romantic with time traveling and twists throughout their stories. I would say they both are sad+beautiful.

sengir4 says...

Both deal with time travel, and the issues that arise from not taking those ramifications seriously. Both very suspenseful, and take you on a wild ride, with plenty of twists and turns.

sunnysuraj says...

Both revolve around concepts of time travel and the complicated way that reality can be altered by those who partake in it. They take different approaches, but they both manage to do so in a way that's inventive and interesting. Steins;Gate is a little more comical at first, while ERASED has a serious tone from the beginning with small moments of humor. Steins;Gate is a tad bit more psychological, as well. 

DeltaWillow says...

Steins gate is by far the greatest time-travel anime. Just like Eresed the protagonist makes many mistakes inwhich he has to fix.

Oblithian says...

Like Steins;Gate Erased has it's own unique executions on the basic time-loop plot. If you love time Time-Loops, you will like both. Erased has a broader appeal, so it is more likely you would enjoy it coming from Steins;Gate, than the opposite.

Jqwhippet says...

Steins Gate starts a little slow than ERASED but both of these series are have got Brilliant Scenario. When you start watching you lose time tracking. Highly recommended. Must Watch!!

Itsukie says...

Both anime are around time travel, and the reason for the travel is the same.

Save the ones who are important to them.

I think if you like Steins;Gate you are most likely to like Erased, or the other way around, since both animes are on the same topic.

Another thing that occours in both animes is that both main characters  have "enemies", therefore forcing the main character to change the past a couple of times.

Stormia says...

time travel and time problems and every thing about time

and friends helping each others

Sky4U says...

Both anime have a time travel aspect. That makes them similar. In addition, both main characters try to save a person close to them.

DesuChan51 says...

They are able to travel through time with one goal in mind. They are both tragic, and aim to save someone who could not save themselves. However, Erased is a little more serious.

howtoprocrastinate says...

Both of the main characters have abilities that allow them to time travel. Both shows unwravel the mysteries behind a character's death. 

Dellsimkin says...

Well that's hard to describe without spoilers so to keep it short and simple It's a drama and a mystery and it involves time travel or I mean they involve these things.

asteritz says...

Both Steins; Gate and Erased have the same general plot of time traveling in order to save someone.

qriq says...

Well both are like going back in time to save someone and stuff..You might like it though both are good

XxTheLordxX says...

Both of them Are about Time lines and that u must not change things way too much but u still need to change things they both have the same kind of mistery that makes you think whithout stop about what will happen

irlydontknow says...

They share the similarities as going back in time after something bad happens, so mainly going back in time is the connection between the two

MapleBoy says...

They both revolve around time travel elements

although steins gate focuses mainly on the consequrnces of time travel and how time is cruel, erased focuses on how time travel can be used to help people

Soapbubble says...

Because everyone else says you will lol so yeahhh just writing some stufff lalalalala why do they have to be 100 characters long sheesh thats huge

Neoa says...

time travel yes

KYUSK says...

The both animes have time travel 

Perruche says...

Both anime involve time travel in order to change what just happened or what will happen. Both main characters have a sense of duty and want to make the world a better place

Phyren says...

Ever since I read the tags, I noticed a similarity. Both have to do with influences from the future. It's not exactly time traveling in Orange's case, but it works its way through letters. I can guarantee that both will have you on the edge of your seat, even though Erased has a bit more exitement; But Orange brings the most tears and has you begging for the next episode to be released!

Wowgirl38 says...

Erased and Orange both follow a similar theme of regret and hope to change the future. Both feature lovable characters who are eager to help their friends. They feature future settings where the characters are adults and past settings as children attending school. 

an1m3niac says...

The shows are similar because both main characters try to prevent bad things from happening. Both anime have time travel aspects and are very dramatic

Epimondas says...

In many ways, this is a near mirror image of each other.  The main differences are the focus, and how the past is changed.  One travels literally back in time and the other somehow sends a message.  I would add Frequency here, but that is a live action movie, yet it has a similar theme too and a very similar reason for desiring to change the past.  Erased is set more like a heavy drama/thriller style, while Orange is more like a Drama/Tragedy/Love story kind of feel.  Orange brings up more philisophical questions about "if one could change their past..." or "redo something", but Erased doesn't really delve into such a question but instead was more like a happenstance or lucky accident opportunity he takes advantage of, while Orange gives the impression it was more planned out ahead of time which you get a pretty good sense of right from the opening of episode one.  Erased was kind of a bit more like the movie, Retroactive, where everytime he tries to fix something, many other things go wrong.  I could also say both deal with regret but honestly it was not so much in Erased as it was in Orange.  In Erased, he felt more regret about what happened to his mother after the fact but regret from the past didn't play as much into it cause he could have done little about it until he got the chance to do it over.  He might have had more regret interfering in a way since he paid a heavy price himself, though the regret might be if he could have done it differently.  Orange deals with the regret of multiple characters while Erased is mainly about the main character.

MrKimchi says...

A Bit of Spoiler alert................................................

..............................................

...........................................

So Orange and Erased, both have a time travel kind of thing. Except the small difference is on Erased, he actually goes back in the future, and Orange where they get letters from the future. They're both about saving someone, though erased has a better storyline and plot i believe. Both animations are great in my opinion. I might have cried only once to Erased probably not at all, but I do remember being very intrigued by this anime. Orange, it made me cry for sure 3 times, It just connected somehow. I'm not gonna go too in-depth, i tried to make this recommendation simple. Anyways enjoy your anime. I recommend both ways. Im not a very hardcore reviewer/recommender who goes over every detail

strangelookingcat says...

Both deal with some sort of time travel and relationship regrets. Not to mention love triangles. "Orange" is much more slice-of-life whereas "Erased" is an intense mystery thriller.

ch0p5tixmast3r says...

Both stories involve time travel and changing the past for a better future. Orange and Erased have a similar pace, are character driven, and have a mild amount of suspense involved in whether or not things can be changed. 

rabxn says...

Both anime uses a kind of time travel (i guess you can say..) in order to try to fix their pasts by trying to save someone.

YariMari says...

In both, the MC's goal is to save a life by using means of timetravel. Erased is more of an intense thriller, while Orange is a drama - but they are still very similar when it comes to theme.

edgarruv says...

Same idea different stories

one of the big differences is that the anagonist in erased more active in figuring out how to get to the solution

in Orange the main character struggles to find a solution by them self and requires help

all together very good stories

talaalfraih says...

both of Orange and ERASED talk about how frineds should be even if they don't know each other for a long time they're still your friends and they would do anything to save you even whats impossible 

and the 2 of them show you what would someone who loves you do and there is always some worried about you where or whenever you are you're not alone  

if u liked Orang you HAVE to watch ERASED

if u liked ERASED you HAVE to watch Orange

subparalien says...

Both involve characters trying their best to change the future.

ERASED is far more dramatic, with more plot.

Orange focuses more on depression and suicide.

Both have well done characters.

Inu230 says...

If you enjoyed the plotline of changing the past consider giving ERASED a watch. Orange and ERASED deal with regrets in the future that could be prevented by altering events from the past. The main characters struggle with the conundrum of how changing the past changes the future which promted the need or desire to change the past. The characters with the ability to alter the past learn about deep scars in the lives of those they are trying to help. They gradually accept that not everything can or should be changed.

asteritz says...

Both Orange and Erased have the plot idea of saving someone by using some method of time travel.

ShiroHatake says...

Both stories cover mature themes like suicide and murder. Both stories have a romance component. Both stories are in a modern context, but have a time travel aspect to the show that is used to try and change the past to help someone the main characters care about. 

LUCIIIII says...

Both animes have the idea of Time-Traveling, evnthough Orange is in letters while Erased more in person

Timed says...

I see both of these series very good. To start, both of these series have a "timline" which is the path that the main character took initially in their lives. From that point, they are then given the chance to change the outcome of their future by doing what they can to prevent the death of someone that is close to them in a school setting by keeping an eye on what happens. By doing this, they are not repeating the same actions that were done with their inital life which has made them feel a lot of regret by knowing they could have changed the outcome by choices they made previously.

GeminiRabbit says...

Both of these shows involve a protagonist who tries to stop their friend by dying by either time travel or from notes from their future selves.

Beebo says...

Both have time travel themes. Both protagonists want to use it to save people. Both allow graphic violence.

ColeCooper says...

Their both pretty similar, more than likely if you have watched one you'll definitly like the other. In my opinion they're  both really good so far. Considering that Zero only has 6 episodes out for me.

imhawt says...

Erased was a facinating anime and will leave the viewer with a well written story that doesn't end the way you might expect it to end.

hotspot says...

Both anime deal with the protagonist going back in time on numerous occasions, to try and fix the past. He ventures back in time, so he can save the lives of people that he cares about.

KiraKiraSoul says...

Both protagonists use time travel multiple times in the hopes of saving the lives of their friends. The characters are easy to empathise with and strive to uncover the mysteries surrounding their circumstances.

Aerythrin says...

The stories both focus on one guy who time travels (or perhaps dimension jumps, not clear on what Subaru does yet) and works in order to save others from a grisly end. Mysteries both unravel as the series goes on, but so far the character development in RE:Zero is superior.

FullmetalDragon says...

Time travel and feels. Need I say any more? Both are very good, with likeable characters and some psychological elements.

hamletsmage says...

Although the settings of these two anime are vastly different, they do share a few plot devices. The main one being a protagonist who can reset timelines, and does so in order to save himself and others. Both anime also show the struggle the protagonist has with keeping that power secret from those he is trying to save. Both also feature violence and death, though I'd say Re:Zero is a tad more graphic. 

JonnySQ says...

Erased and Zero heavily rely on character relationships in order to progress and motivate a timetraveling main character, and that only through these binding relationships do the characters find out the mysteries of how to save themselves and everyone around them. With time traveling/return by death, both shows further investigate secondary characters in more depth and to figure out their situation more completely in order to conquer the current feat at hand.

Jarubakit says...

I just want to agree on this recommendation to help out. Now I'm just filling up hundred characters.

Sul says...

Pretty sure everyone else have covered everything so far about the similiarities plot wise. So, just watch it.

LastGamer13 says...

Both main characters have ability to go back in time, they both try super hard to protect people around them.

TallyCrow says...

Time. 

I started with that work because one of the main themes in both of these Anime is Time and things revolving around going back in time and re-writing history. Although the circumstances are differently. 

Both Male main protagonists didn't ask for this situation and they didn't know what to do half of the time but they did learn to cope with it in time... ha ha... 

Also in both there was slight Romance revolving around the main characters. 

LeoDiNovae says...

I love this type of story where the protagonist is trying to change the past. In ERASED we have a great layer of drama, great pace and amazing characters

Weebbullet99 says...

 both the animes show a very similar concepts, of saving a character from death and changing the future. Both the protangist have similar time munpilative abilities. So if you liked one of the anime, chances are that you would enjoy the second one as well.

NightRavenLT says...

YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES

Kamiofdreams says...

Both of the anime are very similar that it has to do with a main character trying to change the course of destiny through a power that they have. The premise for both isn't exactly clear at the start but as the story continues, it becomes more clear that both characters want to do what they believe is right. 

Epimondas says...

I can see some similarities to this show at least among anime.  Both involve disasters or sad tragedies caused by multiple deaths.  Both involve time travel and switching bodies though in one case he switches or steps into his own past, where that conscious that was there original goes is hard to say.  Both involve some form of communication to the past or past selves in order to stop the disaster/tragedy.  Both stories are heavy dramas with elements of romance, tragedy, and mystery.

Nyatah says...

In both animes you have this 'time travelling- aspect'.They're both about this impossible love, sperated thorugh time.

Astelia says...

The are both about travelling though time and space with a bit of romance. I think that if you liked Kimi no Na wa you are sure to enjoy Boku dake ga inai Machi and vice versa. Although graphics in Kimi no Na wa are truly incredible, Erased has an interesting detective storyline. I recommend both of them.

Maranee says...

A protagonist, switches between different realities in order to change the past, save someone he cares for and prevent a tragedy. Both anime are about children, their friendships and first romances and people who don’t give up on their goals.  

Raveena02 says...

Both feature time travelling however the aspect of switching bodies is unique to your name. Erased follows a more mysterious route so if your looking for more mystery definitely recommend. Your name is more light hearted our of the noth and features stunning animation. Erased's OP is an absolute banger though!

benpai69 says...

I don't really consider ERASED to be about romance in the same way that Your name is, but both are pretty novel takes on time travel-like fiction, and they're both some of my favorite anime content

towerroad says...

Both are very emotinal stories about time traveling, while one depends more on romance than the other.

Arkslayer64 says...

Great animation on both with amazing twists. They also both deal with time travel. Even if you don't normally watch anime like these I definitely still recommend giving them a try.

LUCIIIII says...

They both have great animation, with a big twist at the end of the story.

Plus they both have a sparkle of romance.

Drpx1 says...

Both fit well with the idea of changing the past. While Erased is more on the darker side, Your name is comical and yet has just as interesting drama. Both with ties in changing the past to save a person, thoughYour name is certainly more romantic than Erased. they make a good follow up from one or the other.

samguine says...

They both revolve around time travel, death, and saving someone else. ERASED has more of a detective aspect, but nevertheless, if you enjoyed one you're bound to enjoy the other! 

emmbun says...

both animes have a similar plot, time travel to save a loved one. though ERASED has more mystery then your name does, your name makes up for it with adding more romance. the charaters have more personalites then some animes main leads and a really satisfying ending :)

jeremykral666 says...

Absolutely love and recommend the show, wished that it lasted longer then it did but it definitely worth the time watching. 

Kaiten456 says...

Both follow the key concept of travelling through time to save a dead person, and both are defintely classics. Both have really good stories and plot twisters.

pika90 says...

they almost consist of the same story. I loved erased when i saw it because one it is only 12 eps long and second the story is great except the end everything is just fine but o can't say that for tokyo revengers because it only has one episode released but it has the same plot.

GeminiRabbit says...

Both involve the protagoniat travelling back in time to save a friend from being murdered.

lainskywalker11 says...

Both have the pretty similar concept of going back in time to save someone from long ago. In ERASED's case, the main character goes back in time to save a girl that was murdered, as well as the other kids murdered by him. And Tokyo Revengers has the main character going back in time to save his middle school girlfriend

Stelbaby says...

Both MCs goals are to change the fates of another person and they use time travelling to fullfil it. 

komishouko says...

The plots are actually quite similar.

If you like time travel / Psychological then I recommend.

Tokyo Revengers is a bit deeper than Erased though and contains much more mature scenes.

YusufZabun97 says...

Both are about time travel and about saving someone from death from the past                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

lollygangster says...

                                                                                                              

Kaiten456 says...

Both focus on going back in the past to save someone, varying in intensity. I'd probably juxtapose Tokyo revengers as a "delinquent version of Erased" as Gigguk famously said

Philipjohn says...

1. Ttplazy signiture boring to the moon(((((((((((::::::::::::::::::::::::::ghhhhhhhhhhhhhy
2. Lazt

footsnatcher says...

I watched Erased and was thinking about how it was so similar to Tokyo Revengers in the prospects that the character's goal is to go back in time and save someone, to change the future. I recommend it to anyone who watched either show and is looking for a new resort.

NightRavenLT says...

YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES

Beth0410 says...

Both animes have the main characters able to time travel to change events in the past to save others lives. 

ayarocks says...

The same concept. People going back in time to save their loved ones from some kind of evil/danger. I highly recommend. Entertaining twists and good shock factor. 

skittles2774 says...

Both are great mysteries and have some little romance in them. I love these both and this is coming from someone who mostly watches and reads romance. 

Nitequil says...

Both series have an amazing story and have one strong similarity.

Emma, Ray, and Norman (from The Promised Neverland) are very intelligent children that go through difficult, and mature, steps to keep everyone safe in their toxic world filled with demons. Satoru Fujinuma (from ERASED) is also a child that goes through a difficult situation to keep his peers safe from a murderer. However, this story deals with time travel instead of demons. He returned to the past to help save his classmate, Kayo Hinazuki, from being murdered.

If you like suspense, mystery, action, and amazing animations: both are worth the watch (and read, too)!

Waldix says...

They both touch different emotions.. Anger, mystery, sadness, mindblows and are just extremely amazing with great stories!

Astelia says...

Both are interesting thrillers involving children that will keep you at the edge of the seat. The background is probably different, but the themes are somewhat similar. I really recommend both of them.

InfinityTB says...

If you like thriller then i really suggest Erased too. Erased is a seinen about a 29 year old manga artist who experiences a "revival" and goes back in time to prevent a case of serial murders. Both of these stories have you on the edge of your seat

Sailnir says...

Both of these are thrillers about children having to face problems larger than themselves and they are both grand! If you like either one already then try the other out.

rAND0Manime says...

Both are psychological thrillers that involve children, and both keep you on the edge of your seat. So if you like one it's almost a guarantee you'll like the other!

legomantiny says...

Both were phenomenal anime. The Promised Neverland was great and had somethings in common with Erased. So if you liked The Promised Neverland then you might like Erased.

imabigpancake says...

Both are entrancing and really fun to watch. we see the characters figure something out that leads to their final goals. The endings leave you wanting more :)). 

Aysha05 says...

Mostly because they both have kids as main characters and the villains in both of them are adults. An other thing they have in common is that the adult villains in both the anime portray a nice and friendly front in front of everyone to decieve them and gain the trust of others.

ashly833 says...

They both have dark themes and deal with mind games. They both have children and or adults working together to face a huge problem that will heavily impact them all in the future. 

MlSF1T says...

They both have dark themes as dead involded in them, while TPN has the kids resolving their problems, in the ERASED you deal with time travel. Another similiarity of them is having adults as main antagonits.

NightRavenLT says...

YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES

Baddie007 says...

Both maybe diffrent but they both ahre the same genre and both have a deep plot. Also, both characters have to stuggle to find the cause of the curses thaey have to undergo.

AnimeSpaceBR says...

• Both excellent anime of mystery, with stories and remarkable characters, surely I recommend both  💙😉🌷 !! 

kherondale says...

The storyline is extremely different, but they are both horror and psychological animes, both anime will keep you guessing throughout runtime!

ERWT says...

SPOILER... maybe... just incase

The way the story misdirects you and the emotional impact you feel as these characters die avoidable deaths is masterfully crafted

016Ajmain says...

In both story's the hiro trys to save people and a girl always trys to be a lonely person.................................................................. 

S0meRand0 says...

both are very good plot twist types of animes. the type to make you want to binge watch, sit at the edge of your seat 

LUCIIIII says...

Both animes have a simlar atmosphere, and they both make you feel more intrigued and want to know what will happen next. 

triskellionquinn says...

Both Another and ERASED have a strong psychological story and a sense of desperation as the characters struggle to solve their individual mysteries in order to prevent further death among the people they know and care about.

footsnatcher says...

UponTheTaintedSorrow says...

both have kids trying to solve mysteries. i enjoyed both anime as they kept me on edge and made me try to guess what would happen.

jazzykk says...

Erased and AnoHana are initially quite similar. Both anime center around a group of childhood friends, where one of the girls died. In Erased, the main character goes back in time to try to save her. In AnoHana, the main character can see her spirit and tries to help her rest in peace. Erased will give you a very nostalgic feel as an adult in a child's body revisits the past. AnoHana has great character developement as the group of friends, who are now teens and have grown distant, deal with the resurfaced grief of losing their friend. Erased is more thriller whereas AnoHana is closer to slice of life. I would recommend both to anyone who liked the other.

Maranee says...

In both anime the protagonist remembers his childhood and friends while trying to save a deceased female friend (using time travelling to change the past or wanting to fullfill her wish).

JonnySQ says...

Both deal with regrets and a girl's death that impacted the main character's life, and their role and duty to do everything they can do to either change the fate or give last wishes for that exact girl.

singularity says...

Both of these animes are nostalgic, melancholy, slightly supernatural journies into the past. Erased is definitely darker and more mature, but both focus on the theme of righting an unintentional wrong in the past that changed the characters' lives forever. 

clemen says...

 They are both dramas, and although Anohana does not have the mystery tag, I kinda think it's a bit of a mystery.  Anohana Is a very good anime and is sad too just like Erased.  Anohana is not a super long anime wich is what I like, just like Erased. 

bollweval says...

Both have a back in time feel, it actually happens in ERASED and happens through memories in anohana

ccconstant says...

I feel as though the pacing and theme are somewhat consistent with each other, both are dramas with a mystery aspect to them, though I think people coming from Erased looking for a whodunnit should probably look elsewhere. 

mielconejo says...

Both stories revolve around a character that suffers "jumps" backwards in time, for a short period of time in order to avoid or correct something that's happened. They both try to solve something that's not clear to the main character, and have some thrilling plot.

they differ from one another in the genre, but they are both really good animations and so far, ERASED promises to deliver some really great story development.

Astelia says...

They have a lot in common. And both of them are interesting. Although I prefer Erased (my opinion may change with time).

TakumiWatanabe says...

I think they've got a lot in common.

Both story's are awesome and great and you'll have a great time watching them!

Both try to solve problems by traveling through time. Eventually they both roll in an emotional rollecoaster

DeltaWillow says...

If you like time travel you'll probally like Girl Who leapt through time, also there is a very nice romace element. Apart from that there is hardly many simularities that I can think of. 

Skylion says...

Both revolve around time travel and their consequences. They also both try convey great existential themes and are both an absolute joy to watch.

CandyLix says...

The main character travels through time, to fix events that would otherwise seemingly be aweful.

krazyjelly says...

Both animes touch upon the concept of travelling back into the past to fix/change the future outcome. While Link Click's main climax does not reveal itself until near the end of the first season, there is a similarity in plot where they have to solve a murder case. They both share elements of suspense, mystery, and end most episodes on cliffhangers - leaving viewers at the edge of their seat. 

azarathmz1 says...

Two words: time travel. 

Although it is done differently in both animes, the essence is still there. ERASED focuses on a single event while Link Click its a more one case per episode show, although it has its exceptions.

I can't put two animes in the same rec, but if you've read this far, you should watch Tokyo Revengers as well. 

ToeBeans405 says...

Similar themes of time travel in both, as well as a protagonist who wants to fix things in the past but things get messy quickly.

Frommidgard says...

Both series features time travel power, going back to past and saving a loved one, investigations, suspense and a psychopath hindering the main character's goals. The themes of both are also somehow similar.

Marley22 says...

Loved the story lines for both. They also both deal with time travel. Great plot as well. I have rewatched both series multiple times haha
