I HAVE ONLY WATCHED ONE OF THE TWO RECAP EPISODES !


Boku Dake Ga Inai Machi Recaps
Erased Special Recap Episodes Review

This small pairing of recap episodes set out what they intended to do, recap the whole coverage of what happened in the story so far. In a story with relentless plots, characters, and quickened pacing it was proven difficult to keep up with at points; having these recaps it allowed me to confirm who is who and the key features which I should be aware of in Erased. Highly recommend it if you`re at a loss six episodes in.

I liked the recaps because all ... in all it built up what recaps are supposed to be - only covering the content which has previously been shown. It kept it at a fast pace much like the mainline of the story, so, all in all, with it being a recap - it obviously hasn`t gained the highest ranking, but for the recap it was, it did a grand job.

Most people probably won't have a need for this since the anime is a mere 12 episodes, but it's nonetheless a good summary of the first 6 episodes. As someone who didn't take a break but watched the summary anyway (for some reason), I can say it definitely gives the right amount of detail to get you up to date if you take a break around halfway through the anime.

That being said, it doesn't have a dub version (on YouTube/AnimeLab, at least), so it can be a bit jarring for dub watchers. Also, unless you're a fast reader, you'll have to pause at times, since ... the chunks of text summarising the story appear and disappear a bit too quickly. It can also be a bit confusing whether the recap expects you to pay attention to the character dialogue, since much of it happens whilst the summary text is still on-screen (it might be possible for Japanese viewers to read the summary and listen to the dialogue simultaneously, but English viewers get left behind).

When it comes to a recap, it's either forgotten about or ranted over, that is due to it being ranted on the same schedule due to replacing a weekly episode, but not this one, or at least I don't matter, for how desperate people like me were in need for a recap. I binged through the first 6 episodes and ended up taking a break due to real-life reseason, and when I decided to come back, well, a full, fleshed out recap was in the wait for me. Fantastic.

The show already manages to cover a lot in just six episodes that thinking of a recap ... might not be the best move to fully enjoy the show, but this one proves you wrong in the first 5 minutes, it highlights the important moments, quickly recaps through the massive information dump, with nicely placed speech bubbles, paragraph-long intel spread across the scene to make up for the fast-paced run though. I don't think it is a masu see, looking at the fact that you might be binging through the series in one sit, however, for a force of circumstance, it's like a loyal buddy that's always there for you.
