2021-01-31 19:34:48 +0000 UTCThe funniest thing about this is I'm "disappointed" for a more specific reason. As far as I'm concerned, Erased peaks HARD at episode 8, with the events of the first half of episode 9 being a great denouement. Then the show keeps going for 3.5 more episodes and the first time I watched, I was actually like "right... the serial killer". Stopping the abuse felt so much like the "important thing", and the frank and blunt way that abuse is depicted felt so unique given how much fiction shies away from really showing how dark that shit can get; so when the show turned back to something as comparatively rote and banal as "bad man who likes killing" it felt like a wet fart. And I feel like it would feel that way, even if the mystery didn't unfold in such a linear way. Nothing about the killer is half as interesting as the rest.

2021-01-25 05:54:21 +0000 UTCEven as a massive Erased stan I gotta admit the mystery doesn't really work. Should've at least introduced a 3rd major suspect. There's a few red herrings but it follows a pretty straight path. So I understand why people that were watching for that aspect ended up dissapointed. I still love the series though, it's more of Satoru's hero journey than a mystery and for that this episode works well.
