Erased

This is has got to be one of my favorites in a sense that it really isn't in the popular shonen genre of anime. This falls into a great murder mystery type that isn't too popular in today's day and age. They did end up making a live action adaption of this one, but like all live action adaptions I don't recommend it. The premise of this anime is the protagonist Satoru Fujinuma is a young adult who mysteriously gains the ability one day that sends him back in time a few moments before a life threatening incident occurs where he then has a chance to prevent it from happening. During this time there is a story about a kidnapping that occurred when he was just a child where several of his classmates were taken and murdered. Without giving away too much, something happens to someone important to him and because of this he is sent back in type about eighteen years to when he was in elementary school. Where he now has a chance to solve this mystery of the kidnapper and save the lives of his classmates. I would definitely recommend this anime to anyone who is into the mystery genre. 8/10 for this great title.
