Well that was a ride! This is a really binge-worthy story, and that's exactly what I did.

Story: Super fun and intriguing. I liked the idea of Satoru not being able to time travel of his own volition but instead being forced back. However, I felt like the story was lacking in certain areas. While the suspense was incredible, the killer was (pretty) predictable. It took me longer than I would have liked to admit to suss them out, but I did figure it out before the big reveal. However, the show is still super fun to watch past that. My other issue was in the treatment of the children's friendships with each other. At times they would feel incredibly close, and at other times I would forget that some of them were even friends with each other or even existed. I was also so invested in Kayo that I wanted more from her story, which made the resulting scenes fall a little flat for me.

Acting/Cast: So good! The kids in the past especially were phenomenal--those were my favorite parts to watch! There are bits of the show where the acting lacks, but only a little bit.

Music: I didn't really notice it, to be honest, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I was always entranced in the episodes, so that means that they were playing all the right songs! So I'd say it was average, nothing too note-worthy.

Rewatch Value: Gonna have to rate this low as half the fun is unraveling the mystery along with Satoru.

TL;DR: A suspenseful, entertaining show with a unique twist on time traveling. If you like mysteries, you'd love this one!
