Anime Like RErideD - Derrida, who leaps through time
You're stuck in a time loop where every choice you make to fix things makes them worse, and the show never explains the rules until you've already lost. Derrida keeps jumping backward through time trying to save his daughter, but each loop costs him something irreversible, a memory, a relationship, a piece of himself. By episode three you realize he's not trying to prevent the disaster anymore; he's trying to live with what he's already destroyed.
SYNOPSIS
Engineer Derrida Yvain wakes from cryo-sleep to find the world transformed. Ten years have passed since he and his colleague Nathan discovered a critical flaw in the autonomous machines their company produced, then chose to stay silent. Now those machines have turned on humanity, and society lies in ruins. Derrida emerges into a war zone where the very technology he helped create hunts him relentlessly. Desperate and disoriented, he searches for answers about what happened during his decade-long sleep and why the machines went rogue. The guilt of his inaction gnaws at him as he realizes the consequences of his silence have cascaded into catastrophe. Caught between scattered survivors and hostile automatons, Derrida must navigate a fractured world while confronting the weight of his past decisions. He seeks redemption through action, but time may have already run out. The question becomes whether uncovering the truth about the machines' uprising will actually change anything, or if Derrida is simply another casualty in a war already lost.
