Synopsis

In class 3-3 of Yomiyama North Junior High, transfer student Kouichi Sakakibara makes his return after taking a sick leave for the first month of school. Among his new classmates, he is inexplicably drawn toward Mei Misaki—a reserved girl with an eyepatch whom he met in the hospital during his absence. But none of his classmates acknowledge her existence; they warn him not to acquaint himself with things that do not exist. Against their words of caution, Kouichi befriends Mei—soon learning of the sinister truth behind his friends' apprehension.

The ominous rumors revolve around a former student of the class 3-3. However, no one will share the full details of the grim event with Kouichi. Engrossed in the curse that plagues his class, Kouichi sets out to discover its connection to his new friend. As a series of tragedies arise around them, it is now up to Kouichi, Mei, and their classmates to unravel the eerie mystery—but doing so will come at a hefty price.

Story/Idea (9/10)
The premise of Another is chilling—an isolated class where death follows those involved, and the mystery unravels in a slow, eerie manner. The plot keeps you hooked as you try to piece together the haunting mystery behind the curse.

Characters (8/10)

Plot (8/10)

Another was the first anime I ever watched and it happened completely by accident! I was little — probably around 10 or 11 years old — and I was using my brother’s phone. I originally meant to look up Death Note because I’d missed the last few episodes on TV, but I ended up clicking on Another instead.

Before that, I used to watch anime on TV, so this felt like a whole new world. I didn’t know any English at the time, so I didn’t fully understand what was happening in the story. I just remember being super confused about why everyone ignored ...

Another is in a few interest stacks that suggest watching it on Halloween. I can see why, its genres fit in with All Hallows’ Eve’s celebration of the supernatural quite well. So, I took this as a recommendation and started watching this on Halloween, completing it a few days before mid-November came around. Culture places a lot of emphasis on these celebrations, mainly because it encourages people to invest in the general atmosphere of it. So, I decided to temporarily embrace the culturally grim and shocking notions that are associated with Halloween, since it’s not a holiday pertaining to the birth or death of a ...
