Another (light novel)
| You don't need deep characters for a slasher movie (anime). |
 |
| 8.5/10 anime not that kind of horror which I expected kind of a thriller genre i guess but not bad to keep me hyped up till last ep |
 Wake up to reality! Nothing ever goes as planned in this accursed world.The longer you live, the more you realize that the only things that truly exist in this reality are merely pain, suffering and futility.Everywhere you look in this world,wherever there is light, there will always be shadows to be found as well.As long as there is a concept of victors, the vanquished will also exist.The selfish intent of wanting to preserve peace, initiates war and hatred is born in order to protect love.  |
| At first it was interesting. The mystery was intriguing. Then the pacing up was good too but it lost me in the last episode. I liked how they gradually killed those characters but I don't get the significance of anything that happened in the last episode, the deaths and the solution. Until the last episode it was 8/10 and with the last one it became 5/10 for me. |

| Let me put it this way... The last episodes did not happen in that way at all in the novel. |

I kinda like the story. Anyway I have a question: |

GameBlaster257 said: Honestly I felt the same. The show went from a genuinely interesting mystery and thriller to a B rate slasher flick. Since the anime was a disappointment for me I picked up the manga and it was way better. They fixed a lot of the problems that the anime had, and the twists actually make sense. If your interested definitely read the manga, but it’s not required. Light novel is much better and is preferable over the manga. Last parts did not happen in the light novel. |
Ah! I see. I must have misunderstood that part. Thanks for clarifying it. btw was there any permanent solution in the LN? |

| @Chronon Nah, there is a sequel novel that takes place in 2001 and it is happening yet again. I think the only way to get rid of it for good is to just burn down the school or abandon it, and, well, that is not going to happen. Well, unless... |

The premise is interesting but very localised and slow in a sense. It would require a lot of development to get to the point of burning the school. |

The novel is very slow, but that is mainly due to trying to build up suspense. Now I have no idea how the sequeal ends as I have not read it yet, so me talking about burning the school down is just one of the only ways that I believe the curse can be lifted permanently. |

Lol I was telling my experience not criticising or making a review.
| @DexterDrubo Ignore that Saimatsu_Fan guy, they are a known troll. I see you have Shiki on your PTW. I suggest you watch it, as it is a good horror series, though it falls into the "creepy horror" category. Only anime that I got scared of. |
| I definitely remember the show getting goofy at the end. but it is really fun to watch |

I read it. I loved it. There may also be another book in the future. As far as burning the school, I have a feeling it might go the same way it already has - switching classrooms did nothing. Switching to the new school building did nothing. I think it's directly tied to Yomi North and it might take completely closing the school/school district to make it stop. But because of the strange nature of the occurrences and people's memories and stuff, it would never happen because the town at large wouldn't understand the phenomena.
| @Nyamaste Thanks for the short review. I believe I will be getting that, and the old novels, for Christmas, hopefully, if my sister can find hard copies of them. And I do hope he writes more. As for my theory... I think if it could end at all it would be to burn down the school or close it or whatnot, otherwise I do not think it could ever really end. And even then it may not end, as it is clearly tied to town, since the only memories altered are those within the town and you cannot die after you have left. Fun fact: The creator of Shiki and the author of Another are married irl. |
| You saying this with eminence in shadow pfp is funny. Like you're the last one who should be talking abt plot lmao and mha as your favπ€£ |
 |
| I gave it an 8 back in 2012 but now I rewatched and its trash. I will keep the good old memories |
| I mean its pretty unique compared to some other shows but tbh its kinda meh especially the last few eps. |
