I mostly watch it cuz of characters and the magic but it has a somewhat interesting plot
just wish it had a second season.
"I figured it would be natural for them to implant some "meat" to obviously be slaughtered afterwards."
The problem is that Another resorted to actually doing this rather than having an interesting, mysterious story. Having 'meat" to get slaughtered is a cheap antic used in cheesy horror flicks. There was no need to incorporate cheap deaths nor a cheap ending. Also, Another is a thriller. The whole 'Final Destination' ending was horrendous. It butchered what could have been a decent thriller series (pun intended).
Since there's no point in arguing further, given that you won't change your view and neither shall I, we can both agree that we had different opinions about Another. You may have enjoyed it. That's fine. A lot of people enjoyed it. When I watch anime or write reviews I look at the whole picture rather than simply enjoyment. From an objective standpoint Another wasn't good. It was fair and thus I rated it such.
Even if the series didn't have a train wreck of an ending it would still have only been a 7 for me. It's undeniable that there is pretty much no character development, characters are bland and seem unhuman with the exception of wanting to selfishly preserve their own lives. Personally, I don't think I underscore the series at all. Not trying to undermine your comment or criticism, but it's not necessarily my score that's bad. A 6, based off of the actual scoring system via MAL, is supposed to be a slightly positive rating; people simply have a tendency to skew their scores from the 5-10 spectrum with 5 being bad and 10 being amazing.
With that said, I appreciate your comment nonetheless. Comments/feedback are always welcome. Cheers.
