(Good) Erased

Series in one sentence:
Put all your time and energy into a girl who obviously adores you for it, then wake up from a coma to see she fucked some other guy.


Series in more sentences:

A man without passion and the power to see ahead of time is one day framed for the murder of his mother. In his moment of panic he manages to rewind time itself, and ends up as a child before a series of child murders occurred. The man concludes it's all connected and he has to stop them from happening in order to save his mother.
 


Good, but could've been a lot better. It's like two stories in one that don't fit together, but are awesome separately.

The first half is basically about this adult man going back in time to save the life of a classmate he used to ignore. A very obvious romance blooms between the two of them as he does this, but the moment that story arch is "over" and the girl moves to a different home, she's out of his heart and mind and the guy moves on to the next child he has to protect. Who is taken care of in way less episodes, as if the creators didn't care anymore and just wanted the show to end. Both instances were a bit insulting.
So much time was spent on him and the girl, but then she's never heard of again, until the end where she shows off her newborn baby that she had with a character she never even had any chemistry with.

The anime closes off with the main character meeting up with his old colleague from the first timeline, as if she's been his one true love all this time and fate brought them together, but.. no, not really? It was weird.
