Boku Dake ga Inai Machi: The Town Without Me

[KrayZ33]

Ok first of all

I dont know. He could at least plan a few things and try to remember all he could.

What gave you the impression that he didn't try to remember? You have to realize that Kayo is an unknown book for him, he didn't pay *any* attention towards her in his past. He didn't know her mother beats her on every weekend either.. because he didn't care back then.

ps. what disturbs me is the fact that he is only focused on preventing Hinazuki from dissapearing. Thats pretty important ok but what about the culprit? what about the other kids? So he saves her and job done? Fuck those other childs and fuck that there is such a person free even doing it in the present? You gotta go step by step but common.

And this is why I believe you arn't thinking enough (or not seeing things from his point of view), he has absolutely no clue who the culprit is and doesn't have any info nor reason to save the other kids, he doesn't even know about their whereabouts when they were alive. How can he possibly plan something so dangerous and complex if he doesn't know when it happened, where it happened and who he is facing?
If I'm really honest with you, I don't even believe you when you say you can remember anything *specific* from age 10 that could help you in a situation like that other than what Satoru remembers, like when and where he saw Kayo for the last time and what kind of person she was. Anything more specific would be rather unnatural (just like when he didn't know where his seat was). I was unconscious once and got hit by car once (probably not even close to what Satoru's mind faced back then but still...), all I remember is where it happened and whether it was dark or bright outside (car accident was a rainy day). The days and weeks before that or what happened later on the same day? No freaking idea.
On top of that, his parents, the school and the community actively tried to hide and to make the children forget about it if I remember what Satoru's mom or Satoru himself said correctly.

And lets not forget he has to start somewhere and Kayo was one of the first (if not the first) to disappear.

He could stalk Hinazuki the day of the incident, maybe even catch a glimpse of the one who took her or even scare him.

that's what he did. Remember that she was in the "safety" of her home when he left her. He made sure to spent as much time as possible with her, up to the point where Kayo couldn't even finish her present in time.

He knows about dates,

only vague.

Set some kind of trap making some shit up about him being injured in the park at 8 pm. He could provide an alibi, or convice him to stay home or somewhere visible, or even try to get his help, for the retarded guy so police cant put the easy blame on him and force them to keep looking.

That trap part is really wishful thinking, and he wants to *save* Kayo. Every plan that comes after her death is already a failure.

I'm really not convinced by anything you've written so far and would even go so far and say that you have no reason to dislike this show *yet*, at least not if you are actually looking for a more "realistic" (ya, time travel, I know) story without deus ex machinas.
I'm aware how silly that sounds... you are obviously free to like or dislike whatever you want, but your reasoning seems flawed to me.
