As it is, it works very well. Perhaps it might have been even better if they had added another <a href=\"\/fun\/terms-used-in-anime-reviews#cour\">cour<\/a> and put in all the scenes from the manga, but that&#8217;s far from certain. One of the most painful lessons that a writer must learn is the importance of making cuts. Generally it&#8217;s best to cut out everything that isn&#8217;t absolutely essential to the story.<\/p>\n<p>All too often adding extra material weakens a show rather than improving it. I think this show is fine as it is.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/bugfox.net\/fun\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Baby-with-Satoru.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11708\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bugfox.net\/fun\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Baby-with-Satoru-550x309.jpg\" alt=\"Baby with Satoru\" width=\"550\" height=\"309\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11708\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bugfox.net\/fun\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Baby-with-Satoru-550x309.jpg 550w, https:\/\/bugfox.net\/fun\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Baby-with-Satoru-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bugfox.net\/fun\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Baby-with-Satoru-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bugfox.net\/fun\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Baby-with-Satoru-500x281.jpg 500w, https:\/\/bugfox.net\/fun\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Baby-with-Satoru.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For me ERASED (Boku Dake ga Inai Machi) (Crunchyroll) was far and away the best <a href=\"\/fun\/terms-used-in-anime-reviews#anime\">anime<\/a> of the season.
