| Well I accidentaly got spoiled on who's the death person. Turns out I was on the right track. If you'd want to know I can tell you at least this: |
| @ Appel_stroop You should edit and remove what you write in that spoil, it's okay for me coz I already finished the manga. But it would ruin the fun of others. Oh also don't open wiki's character section, coz in there written the same thing as appel write. [-_-] |
 |
| i was looking forward to watch this episode the wholeeee week, turns out it was theworst episode of Another... i hate that they made a middle school student seems so strong and didn't found that seeing their teacher commit suicide in front of them is shocking..the day after, they act like it's just another day at school in japan... Sakakibara was quite likable last episode, and then everyone stop ignoring him anymore and then... taadaaa he's back to his boring old self... and how exciting is that we'll have a beach episode next week?!! yay!!! so fun!!! I thought this series was different... thank god it turns out that Another is just the same as any other cliche anime out there |
| I wonder if next episode will be fan-service, imo this show has a dark color scheme and a art style not really orientated for fan-service. I'm really looking forward to the next episode though. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
twonline said: First they treat Sakakibara and Mei as non-existing. Then suddenly they are friends with that counter measure girl and others. Of course, they were doing that because they need to, not because they want to, and Sakakibara and Mei knew that, don't see where the problem is... |
 |
| I've been wondering this: Misaki went in the first episode to the basement of the hospital, but why? Maybe something is there that'll come up later? |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| The sensei's death was funny. I still think that Misaki or Kouichi are dead. |
 |
| This episode reminded me of mortal kombat with its gore.Now,I think that mortal kombat is not the goriest thing in the world.. |
 |
| @apple stroop I didn't read your spoiler, but I almost clicked on it.... Please remove it as many people are not strong enough to not click it.... Only 9 pages.... For anime this good, and obviously anime that will be one of the most popular it's to little... |

| Sakakibara's dream is more scarier than Sensei's death ...0.0" |

| I like this anime because it makes you speculate.. I have a lot of fun trying to think of theories and reading other people's theories, then later finding out who was right or wrong (or if we were all wrong, haha). |
| Proud mama and papa of Misha Yuuki* (02-01-2014 - 22-01-2014) Thank you for the wonderful twenty days you gave us. <3 One day we will meet again.. |
| Ah what an excellent way to start the day, with a broad grin :} Quite pleased the teacher died, just for a second there when it seemed like he had doubts I very much expected Kouichi to run up and stop him, thus ruining everything. Looks like the next episode will contain a happy go beach trip with swimsuits, which is nice and all... But would it not be much more awesome if someone got thrashed by a shark (^.^) Great white sharks have actually been seen around the waters of Japan so it's far from impossible at least. |

| This episode certainly exceeded in every aspect of its horror franchises of setups with a triple thrill fear for me. On 3 points. Moreover it gave out a new hot older sister of Mochizuki. Not to mention that Izumi herself was in casual clothing. There is a further friendship bonding between MC/Mei and his other classmates that of Izumi and Teshigawara. Of the three horror points that worked for me. The first one of the teacher in the spoiler The final part of that in the spoiler The second part, is as simple as Kubodera’s mother in the spoiler The third part, that worked on me is that dream of Kouichi/ Starting with rather spooky nice setup here of Kouichi walking and this creepy Mei here asking who is dead? So as classmates in a rather spooky setup and even more classmates in a more spooky form considering their look in that setup show up along with the fearful face of Kouichi here amends to what really got me saying loads of "OMG" and "Holy shit" is in the spoiler About Kouichi’s conversation with his dad, I found it really poignant that all these parts in the spoiler About the friendly meetings, from the looks of the yellow bands here and the class in which everyone is, that it’s another class they transferred to. I hope it does anger the curse more. It was nice to see that despite the terrible event and shit happening that Teshigawara was being friendly with Kouichi here. I am wondering from how Teshigawara reacted to Izumi elbowing him in the spoiler About the Fujiyama shrine and trip. Well that was all interesting in the spoiler About Izumi’s meeting with Kouichi, one thing I loved of Izumi which made me like her more is the following,  Hnnnnnnnnnggggggghhhhhh! Izumi in casual clothing was a nice relief from all the 3 points of horrendous horror that feared me. Kouichi took a rather nice casual outfit here. I liked Izumi’s expressions in the spoiler About Tomoka and her meeting with Matsunaga Katsumi, I truly liked Tomoka in the spoiler About thee end of the episode, the dolls still keep the atmosphere freezing of crepyness such as the one of Mei here although I find it mystical to say the least however the red hat doll’s exposure here got me wondering with the hat. Well it’s nice to know despite Mei hating cellphones that she still gives her number to Kouichi and even has one? Guess it was a hatred of its waves in thee end, however Mei smiles a second time here. Last time of this episode but still to have seen it. I really wonder WTF of Mei in the spoiler About the preview, oh WTF is that fan service shit in my Another? Well I really just want the following,  Give me some MEI WHITE SKING EXPOSURE! Pretty much a thing I liked in girls so it will be appealing to me. Other than that, seeing the girls in the spoiler That being said, a 3 points of episode to scare the crap out of me sold me well for this episode. BTW some Image Stitches done in the spoiler A Izumi GIF from next episode in the spoiler |

| This episode didn't answer anything at all... More mysteries popped up. I so want Sakakibara to reach that shrine in the class trip. I still wonder why Kouichi's father's memory was altered.

| I should stop watching this at night, really...>.< This episode was very gore, with teacher's death(suicide in frotn of his students,F*** that scared me and I was like OMG, all the time) and Kouichi's dream(WTH are you dreaming? melting students and yourself..Ewww and OMG!) So, form the preview next episode is beach!! Ok, I want a gruesome death there. Btw, did anyone notice the big house that was shown in the conversation of Chibiki and Kouich/Mei??? We can see this house in the opening...Maybe something important will happen here. |
| That was quite some nice technique the teacher used to kill himself, especially the last twist with the knife. I found it really fascinating to see every student acting completely different: some are frozen solid, others are moving hysterical and others are just scared the hell out of them, not to mention Sakakibara en Misaki who just walked to the scene. It's kinda cliché though that it's every time Kouichi who has to witness all killings in first person, but that's the basic of horror I guess... The other part of the episode was not really exciting, it was mainly some 'making up' and some minor details that were revealed but actually didn't really added much. The only interesting thing was the guy from 15 years ago. I was scared the hell out of that crazy dream. Yumekichi11 said: Images don't work, stupid bbcode.About Kouichi’s conversation with his dad, I found it really poignant that all these parts in the spoiler were shown as though the Ghost was observing Kouichi and to show where it was going around. Strangely enough it had major concentrations around the school in general. I did like that Kouichi had a nice smile here. However he did not look happen here for some reason. I do think it was nice to see the handshake in the spoiler finally it was revealed as to why. I guessed it right as to check if he was dead but also that Izumi mentions that she met Kouichi before but can’t remember visually the stuff yet emotionally she feels an attachment. My senses tell me something is up with that. About first paragraph, Concerning parts featured in the prologue and what we saw in this episode: - The shrine and mansion from the prologue appeared for the first time - I noticed that we could see the empty classroom from the prologue, which was not really empty due to it being used as a storage room. In the prologue it was covered in blood, hmmm... Second paragraph: I think everyone's senses tells them that's something up with the handshake, even Izumi literally says that. I am automatically presuming the cliché childhood friends, but who knows what may actually be the case? I don't hope anyway that all major information will be stuffed in one or two eps at the end, but on the other side the show is just 12 eps.

| Well.. He's dead. |

| This time nobody dies although they explicitly talk about the extra student. I wonder what has changed. Does Mei's eye really see who the dead is or how can she be so convinced? So visual documents are not altered? Now it makes sense how they were able to determine who the extra student is each year. Just compare rosters and class photos. My theory for why the curse stopped that year 15 years ago: The extra student was killed. The extra studen't identity was not determined that year, it was impossible to tell who it was that year because he/she was among the victims. Maybe the extra student died in an accident by pure chance, but I got the feeling the real students found out and killed the extra student in hopes of stopping the curse and it actually worked. |
 |
| The death of their teacher was amazing. If Kouichi isnt the dead person then who is? And I wonder how Matsunagara dude stopped the calamity. |

Exactly what i think. So, they will starting to kill each other? |

PaninaManina said: So, they will starting to kill each other? Maybe that's what happened in 1983 -- and maybe Reiko was involved. Or maybe it was Matsunaga that killed the Other student, told his classmates, and left the body at the shrine. |
Hakuromatsu said: PaninaManina said: Exactly what I think, that could also be the reason why he said that he did it and that he didn't want to talk about it. Maybe it wasn't even related to the curse at all, to make it worse.Or maybe it was Matsunaga that killed the Other student ... |
| I think Misaki is the dead one afterall, or at least, half-dead. I guess somehow her dead sister got in her body, which caused her the green eye that see things that are better unsee. The doll that's based on her sister has green eye, so I suppose her sister had green eyes like the one Mei has now. |
| Damn that teach is nuts !! |
 |
| I make a better countermeasure. What happen to these students that flee from Yomiyama? They escape from the influence of the curse? Well, guess they don't have how to tell how is the extra because if the influence of the curse dissipate they forget all about the extra, but... just wait a little and call to those students, read the list of class and the name that left if it, the extra. Now kill him. So much simple. |
|
| the dream part was so disturbing o.o! im now seeing that, the girl with the long red hair is starting to get intrested into the boy, also i was thinking a kiss scene at the end :L |
| please make my breakfast every morning for me sweet cheeks! *bowling position" |

That's the only theory that sounds logical... |
|
| @ PaninaManina I don't think so, even if they move out of the city they would still be influenced by the curse. Remember Kouichi father ? He is in India and " he is influenced " by the curse. [-_-] |
|
| Nice episode IMO, although I can't help thinking that the teacher's blood flow is weird. I mean, there's too much of it and nearly the whole classroom (or at least half of it) got bloody. Maybe, I'm wrong, after all I've never seen a person stabbing their own throat nor I am interested in biology enough but I really wonder if it is possible for that to happen. I don't get why immediatelly everyone thought that it was fault of the curse. IIRC the deaths caused by the curse were defined as unlikely (and sometimes bizzare) accidents. The teacher clearly commited suicide. It wasn't an accident and he could be easily driven to it by taking care of his very ill mother (people ill like that can be very... uh... mean; own experience) and the stress (and whatever else could be followed by it) of the happenings to class 3 and everyone related. Also, he seemed to be mentally weak every since the begining so I really don't see what made them think it was continuuing. I know it looked as if he was fighting it, but I don't think anyone there saw those little details. Besides, am I the only one who thinks Akazawa might have a crush on Teshigawara? She seemed to be dressed very VERY cute for a usual group meeting and immediately claimed she wouldn't go if he asked her for any other reason. Not to mention that nearly all the time when he is there and she comes on the scene, she makes some kind of contact with him (lightly hits him for no reason or bullies him verbally... ok, everyone does that XD ). And when he came to the pub (or whatever it is) she quickly sat next to Kouichi as if she wanted to attract his attention and/or make him jealous. On top she looked kinda annoyed when he sat across from Kouichi. Or maybe I'm looking into it too much. W/e Kouichi x Mei ftw!! ^_^ |

Maybe there will only be Mei x Kouichi in the end... |
|
| Maybe my favorite episode thus far. They're actually starting to do horror right in this show, with the dream sequence and all. That was amazing~ I wrote a full review of this episode on my blog ^.^ |
akutasame94 said: Nah there is no romance here.... Maybe there will only be Mei x Kouichi in the end... I'm not saying there will be any romance between them. Teshigawara seems to be too uninterested. I'm just saying that she looks too suspicious. But it could be just my imagination. However, she did all things that girls in love do in cliche romance films/anime, although only subtly. Then again, this isn't romance anime. Ok, I'm not so sure anymore. XD |
|
| Tsunderes, tsunderes everywhere, no exceptions. I wouldn't expect any romance for real here. |
|
| i kinda feel like someone will kill someone else on this trip too and didn't that guy that normally goes to the bar say he had a item? maybe he used it that year to kill with i could be wrong on the item part i can't remember lol. plus Beach episode pft i won't let them fool me again this is just the clam before the storm! |
