| I can't stop loving this show! glad this epsiode wasn't as brutal as the last few didn't mean it wasn't suspenseful and it felt like was a big Info dump,too bad for Takabayashi he should have listened to the rules. it was pretty surprising to know mei exist and that both her and Kouichi don't exist to the class anymore,but to be honest i didn't exist i could just think of al the crazy stuff i would do best school life ever hell you wouldn't even need to go to school lol mei tends to skip alot when ever she feels like it. but i wonder where this is going will they try and prevent the deaths or will they continue to let them happen would be crazy if a *another* transfer student joined too. |

| I didn't understand one thing, can someone explain to me? If the other students only need to ignore one student, pretending he/she doesn't exist, why ignore Sakakibara now? They are already ignoring Misaka, so...they are ignoring two students now? Well. I hope Sakakibara isn't the dead person, making the protagonist the "culprit" is becoming so common that it's almost a cliché. I want to be someone very random, that I wouldn't notice normaly. |

| Such a great episode, and quite a few questions answered to boot. The whole "who is dead" deal really got to me, though. Now I'm thinking: complete plot twist within the next few episodes. I wrote a whole review of this episode on my blog ^.^ |
| If you don't understand what is going on better check the manga, the manga is not even completed what I can see. I can only find 10 chapters but it does explain a lot. Misaki Mei looks so different in the manga than anime, but dunno. |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| Maybe they are all dead and there only one person alive |
| So they will just ignore? That's a nice plan, but we know they will die sooner or later. |
| Im assuming people would notice by now, the op changed again this time they replace the nurse with the teacher. So 2 deaths in june the nurse and now the guy with the heart problem. Im assuming his portrait will be replace with someone else now. So the class "countermeasure" is to basically ignore one person from their class that a bit harsh not to mention how it affect someones mental health being isolated and not being able to talk to anyone. I'll just laugh it this "counter measure" doesn't work in the end. Next ep. looks like the to isolated students are going to have an ep to themselves |
 |
| Another mediocre episode. *ba dum tss* It's actually slightly improving, there's an actual reason now.  |
 |
| Very interesting story. I get the gist of it. Each month 1 person in class 3 dies but Class 3 has found that out if they totally ignore a new student, they escape death. So now the cycle cannot be stopped cause Kouichi was not informed about the rules of Class 3 beforehand and that he is found out the truth. Im glad that Mei exists. She's just another student that greedy Class 3 ignored. Imma enjoy watching each of them die. X) |
| lol I bet MC is the dead dude. Also I could get behind shipping MC and Mei, not even gonna lie |
| So... things are more clear now. An extra student to prevent dead of students. Im more courious about this. Waiting for next episode. |
| this is fckn amazing |
Just taking a breather but the following, OMG SHIT! Induced cardiac arrest by the thing! It’s obvious in the spoiler |
| Now I know why misaki was bring ignored and know one of them is dead but who is it? |
 |
| Im starting to wonder how the girl from 26 years ago died. |
| Heh at least both Mei and Sakakibara got themselves a partner x) And judging from the preview, those two seems to be getting really close. Wordsmith said: Also, one question: I'm not into disabled girls - at all! So.... WHY THE FARK IS MEI SO FARKING MOE? >.< Haha you're not the only one. I find her really MOE too. She's really cute :P |

| So basically (someone correct me if I'm wrong), Class 3 pretends Misaki dosen't exist so that the number of people in the class stays the right number and nobody dies. So when Kouichi comes in, he treats Misaki as if she does exist, which is why the class is one extra again, and why the murders have started to occur again, right? |
And what if all love is an act of bravery? Could you look me in the eye and say that you are not afraid?  |
| Darn. Thought for sure she was a ghost. Clever use of camera works has tricked me! (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ Now we just need to know why they didn't tell him to begin with... Ranma-Kun said: So Sakakibara is not existing anymore... In that situation I would go straight for the girls locker room and see how non existent I am xP Lol. I was thinking of doing something silly in the class while everyone is trying to pay attention to the teacher but this works too. :) |
PhantomEX said: There's only one explanation for Takabayashi's death. KIRA. .. Anywho, im starting to think that Kouichi might be the dead guy... I re-watched his death while listening to the Death Note soundtrack that plays the Light kills all those criminals. Brilliant. |
| Humm But who is killing all? Is misaki dead? Is koichi dead? Im so curious. Im thinking about read the manga. |
 |
| Looks like Mr.Plot just hooked up the two characters. Go MC! |

renkinotaku said: wait, wait... so every year after Misaki mysteriously died, there is one extra person in the classroom. But somehow, nobody knows who that person is. So they start ignoring a person like they don't exist to have the total number of students to normal? is that right? O_O Yes. The school and everyone have registered for, let's say 26 students. However, when classes start, there are 27 students who show up. Then, if they check the records they will find it will be altered to be 27. To make matter worse, apparently 1 of the students is already dead but no one is able to tell who it is. Everyone's memory and any records in that town are all altered to make the dead student *nearly* impossible to detect. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
Everyone who is thinking of Moe of Mei in her club should appreciate at most the following, for the next episode. It also looks like it's trolling us with MOE to alleviate our fears only to put it in our faces again. Watch out for that to not get a heartsick now. Reaper71 said: Correct, it is to appease the thing into one person being like it.So basically (someone correct me if I'm wrong), Class 3 pretends Misaki doesn’t exist so that the number of people in the class stays the right number and nobody dies. Reaper71 said: No because he recognized Mei as being alive which is something against the rules of the thing, which made it pissed off and started the calamity again.So when Kouichi comes in, he treats Misaki as if she does exist, which is why the class is one extra again, and why the murders have started to occur again, right? |
| Actually you would be surprised to know that (minor spoiler, check at your own risk) |
| And for those asking why the school doesn't closes or do something, it's cause the only people who know and work against the curse are the students and teachers of Class C. Also, they don't ignore Mei due to suspect of her being the "dead one". As to what i did read in the past they just randomly pick someone. |
kittybell said: What if... his mom died while pregnant with him, he was never born and his whole life is a lie. Now he's part of the class that caused his mom to die, as the 'dead' person, and he just carries the curse on. Dun dun dunnnn! Really interesting theory however you have to take into account that the class already had an extra student even before he transfered to the school. |
 |
| if you were the one that didn't exist would you take advantage of it? PERHAPS like grab a girl in the chest >.> |
 |
| When she talked about the ghost or w.e first thing that come into my mind was IT"S HIM. And that's how I think it's going to end. |

| Well Mei not being a ghost was kind of a shocker for me. The class really did a good job of pretending she did not exist. Soooo if the whole class is supposed to follow the rules. Does that mean that the two that are being ignored have to follow them as well. Is the boy still supposed to act like Mei doesn't exist? I'm guessing if he does'nt follow the class rules the deaths would keep coming? Or does them being ignored by the class/teacher basically not count them in the Class 3 rules. |

v3catsxanime said: Minenene said: Wow, this is so good yet so confusing. This anime makes me think a lot. Heart attack death, a good change from the usual bloody death. This is making sense now, so someone amongst the class is dead? And Kouichi shouldn't have talked to Mei, everyone would've probably still been alive! More of my questions have been answered but I can't wait until next episode to clear things up. Yes, he should probably have ignored Mei. But if the class had told him something about it before he talked to her, then he wouldn't be so curious about it, would he? I somewhat feel sorry for him.. after all, it wasn't really his fault for starting it, since he hadn't known anything about it when he talked to Mei. (then again, curiosity killed the cat..). Or in this case, ignorance isn't bliss at all. The causality really...Sigh... And other things that were cleared now...Kouichi hasn't been victimized yet...because he seems to have a doubt still of Mei's existence even if he said she does exist to the nurse before... Somehow, now that they're both nonexistent...I think it's a reason why Mei seems open to him. |

 "Belief is the death of intelligence." ~Robert Anton Wilson~ |
| She says that she exists, but I still have doubts. |
| I wonder if being one of the ignored has the benefit of being immune to the class deaths. |

WhiteBlue said: i hope he fucks her soon Hahah. Not that I mind the Mei x Kouichi boat, but I love how you're so blunt about it. This, ladies and gentlemen, is what runs in the male mind.~ |
| episode 5 rlly added a new layer of depth to the show. because now its all about "whos the dead one?" jaysorbet said: WhiteBlue said: i hope he fucks her soon Hahah.

| Interesting Episode... explaining lots of thing, if you actually believe what she just said to him to explain the whole thing. Yes, maybe she's not saying it all but, after being ask two times if she does exist she still answer with the affirmative. Somehow, I don't know... I have my doubt. But, I don't really see why she would lie anyway. She's got nothing to gain from lying about it... from what we knows. I also kind of want her to be hidding something because, I feel like this whole thing is going to end up like a big remake of 'The Sixth Sense' where the main character is actually the dead one. They would team up and search for the Ghost in the Class but, the dead one will be... Him! or her... The Killing won't stop since they aren't really ignoring him... useless. |
 |
| Wow, that makes a lot of sense. Probably whoever acknowledges the fact that Mei exists dies. Nice to know that she actually exists as well. Man, Class 3 is really dumb - why did they not fill Kouichi in?!?! I hope that will be explained soon. |
| DAMN YOU KIRA, NOT THE FRECKLES KID XDDD its weird finding out that misaki mei is actually human and lives in a beast ass apartment, but now both her and sakakibara are exiled :/ well, at least they have each other <3 AND THE PREVIEW, WHOOOAAAAA!!!!! take it easy you two :S cant wait for the deaths to start rolling in again |
 <img src="http://i47.tinypic.com/2mw85l2.jpg" /> |
| The way Misaki described her left eye a few eps ago...something like, "it lets me see things that should remain unseen." In other words, she already knows who the "dead" person is in the class. I think it's that assistant female teacher, Mikami. Just a hunch. |
jaysorbet said: Or could end up tragic and both are eliminated. Remember the last person to go is Mei in a red robe. Well that itself has some meaning. However remains the huge foreshadow she will die. WhiteBlue said: i hope he fucks her soon Hahah. Not that I mind the Mei x Kouichi boat, but I love how you're so blunt about it. This, ladies and gentlemen, is what runs in the male mind.~ Now knowing the shit thing, I doubt it will love to allow any romance. I will do more posts later with a list Done:
In this anime, love this time will not triumph. This anime must show evil and sometimes you can't do shit about other than seeing it kill. Think about that one folks! |

| my brain is full of fuck... i think mc is the dead one, its either him or red head girl...just a hunch i thought the death in this episode was pretty weak just sat throught the op for the first time looking for hints. i found nothing and had to listen to ali project in the process...i shouldve muted my computer |

It's a guess at most but the genre of this series should make it easy to pull off. I am hoping the Yuri couple will be a good example. Oh I don't know kiss and cuddle....sudden shit fall SPLAT! Both dead. Something like that. Yeah this should be good if done right. That will prove where does love save? Where does it powers work? Nowhere in this town. I have analyzed and concluded that if exorcism don't work the whole freaking down has all Holy magic nullified. You would have to exorcise the whole town with a huge ass circle. Need to find the point where the effect are the lowest too. Basically no priest can do shit inside the town. The thing has blocked off any divine powers of God. I am not surprised the only thing in that town are evil shit. No angels will come for you in that black dome of death. Worse if you get killed by the shit IMO you join it. You kill other people to bring them to him. |
| Another one dies! I think I know what happens though. They die by saying Mei's name or that they die so that Kouichi will not know what happened to Mei 25 years ago. I think I'm getting the picture now! BTW some jerks of class 3 to ignore him. Well at least he can not worry about school anymore. LOL. That preview seems like they're going to have a bond/date. Get ready for a new couple? |

| I don't know about you guys, but Misaki is so damn cute in this episode. :D |
