Rant: People keep calling Erased a time travel show
Every time I mention Erased someone says it's a time travel anime and I swear they missed the whole point. It's a mystery thriller with a memory mechanic, not Back to the Future. Why do people keep labeling it wrong?

Come on, its literally a time travel show. Dude gets sent back to his childhood body with all his adult memories. He uses that knowledge to prevent a murder. That's like the textbook definition of time travel. The fact that its triggered by a specific memory thing instead of a DeLorean doesnt change what it is. Satoru literally goes back and forth between timelines trying to fix things. Thats the whole plot.

So does that mean you think the murder mystery part is just a side thing, not the real point of the show?
