Series Synopsis
The year is 2006. Satoru Fujinuma (voiced by Shinnosuke Mitsushima) has a unique ability. Whenever a life-threatening event is about to occur, he can go back in time to prevent it. Although, he’s only ever been given five minutes at the most. He calls the phenomenon "Revival".
Although using his abilities as best he can, Satoru carries a lot of guilt. He wonders who he could’ve saved if only he had acted. One such instance occurred during his childhood. Three of his former classmates were murdered. Particularly the death of Kayo Hinazuki (voiced by Aoi Yuki) has sat the worst with him.
Despite a conviction, Satoru believes the true killer is still out there. In fact, that person may be much closer than he realizes.

Satoru’s mother, a former journalist, notices an odd event. An event similar to what happened two decades ago. Unfortunately, she is killed before she can talk. The perpetrator then tries pinning the crime on Satoru.
Unsure how Satoru can clear his name, an unprecedented Revival occurs. Instead of going back a few moments, he returns to the year 1988. Right before the murders took place. Now ten-year-old Satoru (voiced by Tao Tsuchiya) has a chance to save his friends. And in the process, stop the elusive killer.
