Sometimes theories just seem so realistic, I just wanted to say that I can understand that people would react that way because there have been some spoilers in the topics from almost all episode and that it is really frustrating when you have read a real spoiler.Ovindel said: I actually also made predictions myself, and according to someone some of them are even true!

PaninaManina said: Oh wow! They did one. Did not hear about that in a while but I do know the movie is superb with Travolta.Another reference, this time Pulp Fiction <img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tDKyPNdyXE8/TzoPsW29Z0I/AAAAAAAAJAA/VBjJCm0Dj04/s1600/tumblr_lzda7afXPA1qff4dco1_r1_1280.jpg" /> Guess the director might have a knack for Travolta. |
| All I know is that if I was the one being ignored, I'd totally troll the hell out of my classmates. I'd run around them naked, play annoying jingles in a harmonica, throw insects on the girls and dance Tango with Misaki in front of the chalkboard. |
| The dancing was random but I loved it. Mei Misaki <3 cute! Teacher went crazy walking into classroom. I figured he was going to pull out a gun but instead it was a knife. I also was waiting for the class to scream or something. Guess I will have to wait next episode for that. |

I'm loving the small developments Mei is getting. Anyone else catch that smile? LOL The fantasy was amazing. I was like algsdfklgjsdfklg she's so HAPPPPY. She's motherfucking kawaii when she smiles. Monday, come soon. ;^; Also, was I the only one that was thinking that teacher was someone back from the dead? I was guessing it was the kid who died of a heart attack for some reason. |

The problem was that you started your first post in this threat saying you theory but without making it clear before if you where making a theory or just saying what you've already knew. When i first read it i was like: "Wait is this guy making a theory or did he just spoiled this shit for us by saying the future plot he already knows?" So just make clear before you post a theory that you are talking about a theory and you won't have a problem. |

So just make clear before you post a theory that you are talking about a theory and you won't have a problem. He started last episode. He started out with the "A little birdie told me" excuse and then went and blurted out the whole resolution to the story. After someone scolded him, he then tried to cover it up with a "It was a theory" excuse. This episode he's blurting out the resolution to the cliffhanger. As someone who has read the manga myself, I am pretty positive that he's trolling you all. Your best bet is just ignore his posts completely until the series is over if you don't want to be spoiled anymore. (which sounds so weird cause this story's plot is about ignoring someone until the season is over) Even if his posts are just bad luck and he really is just theorizing, His posting etiquette has been atrocious. So it's not like he's completely innocent even if his theories are lucky coincidences. PaninaManina should just except this. Because it's for the good of the forum. |

| I was just thinking that if it was me I would do something nuts in middle of the test, when all the sudden I saw the two of them starting dancing too bad it was just day dream. Anyway I hope we get some clues so we might find out who is actually a ghost in the class 3. So the Misaki that died 26 years ago was a boy, ok this is what I call a "OH SHIT'' moment (the teacher going crazy) |
| Well not much can be spoiled here since the translated version of the Manga is still on-going. Chapter 11 is the latest one in which exactly where we are right now as in the Anime Episode 6. I went around and read a lot of explanations and comments from many streaming anime sites to understand more of what is going since I am still a bit lost. Sometime curiosity can actually spoil your own enjoyment and I did that quite a few times XD T.T >.<! with some others anime. FUuuu I hate my cat-like curiosity. In my opinions here is that if someone accidentally or purposely spoil you, then it is your own false and responsibility. If you don't want to be spoiled then it is best to keep it to yourself, try to suppress your curiosity and wait for the next episode. Edit: EP song is one of the most beautiful song I have ever heard since AngelBeats EP...T.T even tho I don't understand Japanese XD. It made me cry T.T |

The original Misaki(the boy with the name of the town) died and everyone decided to pretend he's there. In the graduation picture, he was actually there. So the curse started and every class has to pretend in exchange for Misaki's presence that someone isn't there. And when the person doesn't follow the rules, people die. So... what's with the "dead person"? Nobody's dead, they just pretend someone doesn't exist. Please tell me if I'm wrong... -_- There is someone dead, and because of that they should pretend like someone else doesn't exist. I don't completely get it as well, it looks like the author has let us believe that Misaki is a ghost and all that stuff (eps 1-4), and then he just destroys it all and says "well, she's a normal girl, but there's someone dead blah blah...". I agree and the author has also started to drop hints that Kouichi is the dead one. It'd be ironic if everyone in the class dies because they ignored Kouichi. |

| The dancing sequence was one of the creepiest bits yet. I'm not even kidding, it startled me. |
phnsr said: The dancing sequence was one of the creepiest bits yet. I'm not even kidding, it startled me. I thought it was pretty cute, lol. Anyways, I like to point out the inconsistencies within his family 1. His father mentioning that he was in yomiyama 1-2 years ago then said "Ohh right, sorry" at the end. This means something was altered within their family. I Have a feeling that kouichi is the dead one or his aunt (Since that will directly alter memories of their family). Koiochi could be the one who is dead because the story started in the hospital & never showed anything of tokyo. Memories could be altered to make it seem like he moved, but in reality, he was one of the victims of 1-2 years ago. The narration of him telling the story to another person in the start of episode 1 showed that he was aware of the story prior to everything happening. An important factor mentioned was that the calamity stopped midyear with ritsuko's death. This pretty much implies his mother had some connect with that class (She probably wasn't the dead person since Kouichi's existence proved her validity of being alive). I can't really say anything yet. Kirika is still a very suspicious figure because she seemed to be about the same age as kouichi's mother and was probably also in class 3 of the first year it happened. (No solid evidence but likely since they wont put an unused character) ~Also like to point out the person he saw in the elevator in the beginning. The story is currently avoiding her but it seems like she will play an important role in the story. I will still stick to my crazy hypothesis from before xD, I still think Kirka is the mastermind behind all of this. |

| ohhhhhhhh O.o" The last scene was a shock !!! ><" Poor teacher!! He turned into a crazy man!!! I feel that the next epi would be BLOODY ><""""" nooooo~ It would be a BIG shock for the students!!! |
| i feel sorry to those that have been spoiled lucky enough for me i just been skimming through things,but judging from the looks of it we have alot of trolls now spoilling left and right!. |
 |
| Haha! Now that Kouichi and Mei don't exist, they should try doing IT in the middle of class. XD |
PaninaManina said: Anyone here suspects that Mei can also be dead? It was revealed that she lost her eye when she had a near death experience. And if she died there? And that is for this reason that Kiriki makes dolls, to replace his dead daughter? That big doll so similar to Mei in a coffin is quite suggestive. And if Mei is dead and came back with his physical body, only that this body has no left eye because she was buried without him, and in place of the missing eye came the prosthetic eye doll that plays her, or she was buried with that eye? It is even possible. hard question! ^^" In this epi, Kouichi's father mentioned that Kouichi lived in this town from a year & a half (I think).. but Kouichi doesn't remember it... so maybe there is a link between Kouichi's past in this town & the current issues ^O^ MaxCrazy7 said: So the Misaki that died 26 years ago was a boy, ok this is what I call a "OH SHIT'' moment (the teacher going crazy) Haha I thought it was a girl, but now we found the truth >> Misaki from 26yrs was a boy :3 Something wrong with the teacher ><" phnsr said: The dancing sequence was one of the creepiest bits yet. I'm not even kidding, it startled me. yeah.. It startled me too.. I thought that something is wrong.. or that the anime turned into a comedy anime ^^" haha |
Magito said: Haha! Now that Kouichi and Mei don't exist, they should try doing IT in the middle of class. XD Haha Absolutely nooooo :P |
| Thats why he imagined it :D because of his fantazies i managed to get a screenshot on which Mei smiles :D anyway, noticed how her face isnt as white as it was? Its more of a human now ;) |

Zyglrox said: Disregard class Acquire Mei At least this protagonist has his priorities straight. +1 Internet That daydream caught me completely off guard |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| Another is splendid! Even with that dance in a horror anime, it managed to get back in the mood at the second part. |
Ovindel said: I don't think dolls have anything to do with this (again I read comment on what is going to happen, so I don't know the actual story, just some important parts (damns people who don't know to keep details to themselves...) )..... I think dolls might be important only towards the end and nothing important to the story. Mansion is creepy, something must happen there... I just hope the one who spoiled me was incorrect... Anyway even if what that guy said is true I still wanna know how the story progress so I will keep watching :D |

AzureSkyz said: It's very likely that Sakakibara is the dead person. Remember how his dad said he was in Yomiyama 1.5 years ago, then immediately "corrects" himself after a few seconds of static? This hints towards Sakakibara dying in Yomiyama 1.5 years ago, and being back as the deceased student, a situation similar to the one described by the librarian (Mami Asakura originally being a student in 1993, but coming back as the deceased student in 1996). I have to agree. Yet considering how they've hinted how the ghost/curse can alter records and memories, and that the ghost doesn't realize they are dead, it's annoying that mei and Koichi (both of which have had near death experiencescan't come to the conclusion that there's a possibility THAT THEY MIGHT BE DEAD? Plus, Koichi being the ghost is starting to get obvious with him not remmebering visiting the town 1.5 years ago (and the fact "dead" Misaki is now been revealed to be a boy doesn't help his case). But I do have another theory of why he didn't remember that might subvert it. He might've been in the town 1.5 years ago, but instead of dying, he might've witnessed a key incident connected to the curse and had his memory erased because of it. Also, did the countermeasures redhead girl say something about how Koichi might not be the ghost because he didn't "feel cold", or was she referring to someone else? |

And that's why I don't think none of them is dead. Both had near death experience so it is expected of us to believe that Mei or Kouichi is dead, and I for once didn't fall on that trick. I don't think that they are dead one... P.S. Does anyone know how to develop amnesia so I can forget what I read yesterday..? |

So there is a chance the one who said this is idiot, but no, many people agreed with him also by saying some minor spoilers and even pictures of manga or something like that... Anyway I am back... Now what I know is that something will change in this class in the next episode, I don't know what, but something will change so look forward to next episode. It might happen in episode 8 but it will definitely happen... :P EDIT: I never thought I would thank someone for spoiler :P |

| EPIC DANCE IS EPIC! cant wait to see epic teacher. |
| The dance was really good LOL. Nice try, Sakakibara. xDD The anime informed watchers really well compared to what the manga did. |
CheerfulSadness said: no she still looks like she hasnt been out in the sun for8 years, it just think its cause up until this episode mei was always in a dark room or some sort and now we finally see her in broad daylight now knowing she isnt a ghostanyway, noticed how her face isnt as white as it was? Its more of a human now ;) |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Epic teacher is epic... And it would've been even more fun if Mei and Sakakibara actually danced :D |
| I-I'm confused... about the dead person, etc. But the dance scene, lol. Made my day. |

It's pretty obvious I think that what the spoiler said is true (I actually thought it was true even before I read the spoiler). Iit would be a nice surprise if it isn't, or rather a huge surprise.

Well spoiler didn't mention what will change, it just said that something will really change... So I have few guesses... This are all guesses, not spoilers.... First one is that someone will die, someone important... Who might that be? Mei, Kouichi, that leader girl (forgot her name), Reiko or someone else? I don't know, but teacher might kill someone... Second guess is that some major breakthrough will happen. They might find out what curse is really about, or find out who the dead one is... And third guess, the one that I think is the less likely to happen. They will realize that there is no need to ignore Mei and Koucihi since it doesn't really help, and then they will all be friends and work together... Also, that female teacher is bugging me. For some reason I get a feeling that she has a major role in this anime... But I will leave it at that, until I get confirmation... |

| The teacher finally snapped !!! Misaki actually smile and it's cutest smile ever that it melts my heart |
 |
| Misaki cuteness! Crazy teacher! DANCING!!! Seriously, this show keeps getting better and better with each episode. Longing for next week already, even though I'm halfway through a one-week vacation! |
| Everyone is jumping too much into conclusion that because J.C. staff is doing it. It's gonna end up badly. It hasn't even started it. Give them a chance at least. And when the time comes and they actually ruin it. We can all go to Japan, go to J.C. staff and burn their offices. I'll pay for the trip lol - alpha69 about the Little Busters! anime. |
| I can't believe you guys have been basically dancing a "ley's try to spoil whiole claiming to not be spoiling" dance for like 10 pages. Seriously, shut the fuck up already and let everyone else watch it in peace. |
