| HOTD is weak. Try read Spiral by Junji Ito, and don't need eat nothing. After I finish read, I sealed in a plastic and never more touch that thing. Just think is disgusting. |

| Dear god..so much blood! as much as i was expecting him to go on a killing spree i'm glad he just killed himself but when i saw the knife fling in the air i thought it was gonna stab someone lol but this class trip two students died and it stopped the deaths? teachers want to make sure all the students go on this death trap so they can deal with it on there own is what i'm getting for this,i would had left town just like all the random students are going to when summer break starts!. still keeping my hopes up for sportys guy and twin tails to make it to the end |

Just think is disgusting. nah, i don't think i would want another gruesome anime on my list, i watched HOTD because my friends recommended it to me, and it turned out to be really good, and was a great anime despite the ridiculous amount of fan service the most gruesome and adult manga/anime ive seen would have to be Gantz, which is good once you get used to your favourite characters dying all the time, the anime is finished but the manga is still on-going |
 |
| I didn't love this episode, it seemed boring to me, but I still think Mei is the dead one, but I dunno. It would be cool if someone died by a shark attack. |
 |
| !!!SPOILER ALERT!!! Anyone here read mangá version? In the spoiler above are three pages of it, one scene that was cut of in episode 5 and gave a HUGE HINT about who is the extra. Nothing so big, just seems to confirm a few thoughts that i see here: And also [not spoiler, stay cool]: Yukari's death:  Mizuno our dear late waifu's death:  Teacher death:     The doubt, who is changing the original book? The mangá or anime? Anime is more different form original? And more poor translated? In the book the characters are all that cold and apathetic? |

 |
| oh wait theres a manga version, i didn'y know, is any good? how far ahead/behind is it from the anime? |
|
| The sound, art and general direction were fantastic in this episode. This series is really getting better and better, it feels like a top notch horror story right now. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
kamikaze_1996 said: ^ lol obviously chocolate and snacks such as popcorn are fine, but when i was watching HOTD i was eating spaghetti while watching flash eating zombies and blood splatters on my tv, it ruined my apatite and i ended up feeling sick I had linguine and ended up laughing the whole time because of how overdramatic the teacher felt the need to be when killing himself. But, I'm also really tired atm, so that probably helped limit my sympathy for this series' characters. :P |

| Sakakibara's nightmare was so... creepy, disturbing... The final of the episode was really interesting. You are not the dead one. Does that means that one is dead and didn't noticed? |
| Holy crap, that dream scared the crap outta me. I couldn't even look at it half the time. I wonder if this is going to end with them resolving the phenomenon, or stopping it for this year... I really wonder why Mei was being so cryptic about the fact that Sakakibara is NOT the dead one. Maybe Mei's actually the dead one, if she's so sure that Sakakibara is not? |
| I was also eating when the teacher killed himself. I quickly lost my appetite. >.< And about Mei going to the morgue in the first episode... didn't she say that it was her cousin who had died? Or did I miss something? I really seem to recall her saying that it was her cousin though. Or maybe I'm just going crazy, which is also pretty likely. The conversation between Sakakibara and his father in the previous episode has me wondering. If he had been to that town (which I've forgotten the name of) previously, then that would explain why twin-tails girl remembers his hand. I wonder why he wouldn't remember though. I'd like to know why Mei thinks that Sakakibara isn't the extra person. For some reason, I kind of don't want it to have to do with her eye, although the ending really hinted that it was. |
 What "Adolescence" do you have? Do you remember "Childhood"? The irreplaceable one existed there. |
| Still don't think Mei could be the dead\extra. For now i only know she had an extra-corporal experience during the near death experience when she almost died in surgery. This leaves consequences. Perhaps his "phantom eye" gives her extra perception. |
|
| I like where the story is going. I just hope Akazawa doesn't die. I really, really like her. But I guess no one is safe at this point... |
| trauma....trauma....... the whole class is traumatize to watch their own teacher's suicide and i feel really sick watching....oh god teacher is dead who will replace him in the intro now i wonder what the guy did to stop the curse from happening after August and what he left behind |
 |
| Laughed my ass off when the teacher stabbed himself in the throat, just me though. So...who's next to die ;D? |

| I wonder how what the connect between Akazawa and Sakakibara is. I have a feeling every other then Misaka and Sakakibara are going to die. |

It was her cousin, alright. Everyone else must have confused you with how they spoke about Mei's "twin." Mei doesn't have a twin; it's her supposed "younger" sister who died during birth of her mother 12 years ago (if I remember right from the ep; I'll edit after rewatching). Mei is 15 years old; her mother might have made the doll with the thought that she would look like Mei, but with different eyes. Mei taking off her eyepatch in the end made it 3/4 probable for her to be able to distinguish the dead person with her left eye. But, what's scary is if Mei's eye couldn't detect it even with that. Also, for the phenomenon to be stopped midyear at some point yet for it to still continue in later years, it means that it's going to happen again and again even if it was stopped short at one time; the people who stopped it would forget. Hmmm as to the stopping of it in Yomiyama shrine...I think it somehow fits perfectly. I don't know what kind of shrine it is (Buddhist or Shinto?), but maybe going there, they could "distinguish" and "exorcise"(?) the dead person. That if all of them go to the shrine, they could erect a barrier so the dead person can't go out of it? That's why no one could tell the tale of who the dead one is...Or they buried the dead person in the shrine 15 years ago? Or they could have burnt the dead person. After all, fire is said to be a purification; that's why "witches" were burnt at stakes before... One thing is for sure, Yomi(underworld)yama shrine is a VERY EERIE name. |

| This anime keeps getting better and better. Even the OP is starting to grow on me. The opening scene reminded me a ton of another certain scene in Higurashi.... Heck the entire anime is starting to remind me of Higurashi! Especially their little club that they have investigating the curse. Since Higurashi is one of my favorite series, I'm truly loving this show. I still don't really like Mei as a character though. She just a depressing freak to me now that I know she is real. She really needs to lighten up a bit. Furthermore, if this anime actually has a fucking beach episode as the preview shows I'm definitely dropping the current score I have for it... |

| I want to know the connection between Mei's eye and her sister's eye that is covered. Is it possible that the eyes used in Mei's sister doll have some power? Mei said that she has that surgery when she was 4, 2 years after the "born" of her sister. Is it connected? |
| Episode 5: Grandpa is tired of funerals... VERY tired of them. Reiko, you dead girl. |
|
| That death was a particularily gruesome one...like they were making up for not showing one last episode. I'm beginning to think it may be Mei, as much as I dont want that to be the case, it certainly "feels" that way. |
 |
| Really enjoying this show every week. Mei has been really growing on me these last few weeks. |

| Pretty good episode. I like the fact that's it almost all backstory and less unnecessary story. More anime need to follow this rule of thumb. More sense, less nonsense! Can't wait to find out what they used to get discontinue the curse. Looking forward to the next! |
| Good episode, it's getting better. Coincidentially, beach episode next week (and in episode 8, lol). |
| I find it kind of funny the way their teacher tries to kill himself, it was like he was trying to rethink if he should go for it. Still- Miyaki so cute :D |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Super teacher death. More plot supense. Hawt Kouichi x Mei shipping action. Wonder if there was some hanky-panky going on behind the curtain at the end of the episode...? ;) This show is the highlight of each week. |

| wow, the teacher's suicide was pretty brutal. and kouichi's dream was disturbing :S i wonder if theyll get to find the guy who prevented the previous calamity damn, was really hoping for mei and kouichi to kiss at the end there, when mei runs off all fruity into the casket. their faces DID get really close :P the next ep kinda looks out of place :/ but mei in the bathing suit looks hilarious lol |

| Whats that there . . . KNIFE! |
 |
| That teacher was pretty durable. I mean, he even have time to look around and see his students reactions about his suicide. |
| I get the feeling that Misaki is the dead one after all. God the tension is killing me. |
 |
| I found the music for the preview to be very fitting. AHHHHH fan service :O But really, don't think it'll be that bad. |
| I liked the melting people. Episode felt very short. Now there's another week of waiting. Great. |
 |
| Dream sequence was awesome. |
| Anime... Where people have 10 gallons of blood to spill -.- |
 |
| That was an intense scene to see in the beginning. And I think that was like the best looking death sequence I've seen in anime yet. Overall, it was a pretty good episode. At least everyone now is talking to Kouichi and Mei. And that dream was fucked up..... U are really dead. Next episode seems to be a relaxing episode, but I won't be surprised if someone dies during their school trip. |
  |
| First they treat Sakakibara and Mei as non-existing. Then suddenly they are friends with that counter measure girl and others. Other than that pretty good episode. And next is beach episode, what the fuck with a beach episode in a horror anime. I'm guessing that will ruin the atmosphere. 3.5/5 |
