I completed Erased last week.

It reminds me of Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai. Also, Kenya is basically a mini Aqua.

More thoughts:

Erased spoiler

It was so obvious that the teacher is the villain when the show telegraphed it so hard from the start. One thing I don't really like is his flimsy motive for the murders, but that's a minor thing for me.

I enjoyed it a lot so it gets a 10 / 10 from me.

This is something the manga goes into in a lot more detail, but I'm not sure having the villain's whole backstory really improved anything tbh so I don't mind it being cut. Still, if you're interested it's out there.

I am trying my best to catch up on a bunch of shows I fell behind on, so here is where I stand currently:

Ameku MD - Dropped for time. Not sure if I will try to make time for this or not. I have popped into the episode discussion threads and the reception seems mixed.
My Happy Marriage - I am two episodes behind now, so I might have to just let this one go until the end of the season. I had been enjoying this season a lot.
Apothecary Diaries - I am one episode behind. Great show continues to be great. Getting more interaction with the Emporer this season.
Guild Receptionist - I am one episode behind. This show has fallen down my priority list a bit. I feel like the premise has long since been abandoned and the most recent dark god fight didn't really keep my attention.
100 Girlfriends - This most recent episode was a fresh dose of insanity. Just an incredibly unhinged, and hilarious show.
Welcome to Japan, Ms. Elf - Sleeper hit of the season for me. It's just such a nice comfy time. Even this past episode that prominently featured an actual fight, it never felt tense at all.
Bureaucrat to Villainess - This most recent episode kind of feels like a throwaway, and even in the otome game it was a bonus event. There was a fantastic special ED though.

Weekly ranking roundup:

Anime Corner - Full Results - Weekly Winner: Re:Zero
Reddit Karma - Weekly Winner: Re:Zero

Credit to /u/Abysswatcherbel for making the chart for reddit karma and /u/Nooble5 for the Anime Trending chart.

Amagami Sister shot up the AC chart this week while there isn't a ton of movement on the reddit chart. I am happy to see Orb still making gains, now up to fourth in the reddit chart. I have kind of held off continuing the show and am going to wait for it to finish before just bingeing the whole thing. I am really looking forward to it. The first 8 episodes I watched were really, really good.

I watched 'erased' a long time ago (in this galaxy), but I don't remember specifics. All I remember is how it made me feel and how beautiful it was. 10/10 from me, too.
