Boku-machi "Erased" tells the tale of a writer gifted with the ability to jump back in time, into his past selves, an ability which proves the crux upon which his future rests when one day he returns home to find himself framed for a crime he never committed, the death of his mother at the hands of a serial killer.
Instead of turning this into a corny/cheesey, overdone and ability-focused actions piece, BokuMachi instead focuses on the lost arts of film, storytelling and character development to tell a heartwarming tale of heroism without the distractions of blockbuster cgi, explosions and cheap effects, as it traces the real effects and complicated relationship of such a power on the character and his companions while he attempts to solve murders and prevent his own dystopian future.
BokuMachi is an heart-warming tale anyone can enjoy, and strongly recommended for all audiences.
