| Episode 08 - Hair Stand: The beginning was something, and we get some fan service, Teshigawara seems to like Akazawa and Akazawa have some interest in Kouichi (she wanted to have Kouichi ride hers cars with her, but then she rides Kouichi car with him). The hint is in the classroom, Nakao death was in the beach outside Yomiyama (so if the curse exist, it can happen anywhere). Why do not they close the school better, or at least class 3? Why the students do not change schools? Families are not worried about them? They have not even asked questions about the recents deaths? have happened five deaths (Sakuragi, her mom, the nurse, Nakao, the boy with a heart condition) 3 students from a single class !! and seems like the families are not really that worried...why? And now they probably are gonna blame Kouichi, when is the school that must respond, or even the authorities, but when they are? 4/5 |

| ....Okai, this sh--crap was already boring af, then they decide to insert a beach episode? Like really? I don't care if they were taking this show seriously, or trying to make a purposely bad horror parody, but this is just awful. Gonna fastforward the rest or just drop it now. -_- |
 |
| The curse made people retarded and mad it seem. Holy fuck I guess there no escaping from it after all. If it was this easy, everyone would had done so. |
| That scene at the end tho... |
 “Even if the attention isn’t forever, I’ll keep singing.” |
| Already knew that splatter was gon be a watermelon lolol. You can't fool me, Another!!!!! XD Ugh, isn't it obvious you SHOULDN'T go after the beach ball? Just buy another one, geez. You deserve to die if you fall for that obvious trap!!!!! D;> |
| The episode started out and after the truck maneuver it looked like they were safe. Especially with the melon before the opening. Turns out they weren't. Why even try to get that ball back. I mean, sure, they thought they were safe but that was kinda risky even under regular conditions. I'm really wondering what the guy left in the classroom. Can't be a paper or anything because there is no way that is still there. But what could it be that would be still there? Gdj_24 said: First: Why the hell did that kid swim out to sea that far to get a $2.00 beach ball. The logic behind that decision baffles me. so true. The moment he ran into the water it was obvious he'd die :O Just leave the damn ball. |

| As some one who watches high school slice-of-life almost exclusively, I really needed this |
| I had a feeling someone would die. They kept saying that outside of the town the curse would not work and it felt like they needed a new twist for the show. As soon as they went outside of town, I had a feeling someone would die to get that "Holy shit, no way" type of reaction. Next episode looks fantastic |
 |
| I hate Izumi for being a whiny bitch this episode. She wants to screw Sakakibara just like how Sakakibara wants to screw with Mei. Also, she has been very cruel to blonde guy. And ANOTHER one bites the dust. Seriously, he just screwed with his friends and went to get such a far shot ball. I dunno how he died before that boat hit him. Before I proceed any further.  And none of the other ones try to call him back. They just stand there, hoping for something bad to happen. The rest of the episode is just blatant fan service, talking about reaching 30 and improving figures. |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| I guess we should have seen it coming that Nakao would die. (Was that his name? Nakao?) A nobody whom many of us don't remember ever having seen before joins the trip, hangs out in the background, gets a minimum of characterization... I guess in hindsight he is an obvious redshirt - cannon fodder, brought along just so he can die. I liked the shot where Sakakibara was shaking water out of his ear after coming ashore - that was a funny little detail. :D paraboxes said: No one talking about the Akazawa x kouichi moment in the car???? I mean she literally rejected that other dude in the car to go be with kouichi, and then asked him what he thought of her. I loved the car scene. Akazawa tried to get validation from Sakakibara. Sakakibara teased her and didn't give in to her attempts at bullying. :D |
| Why the fuck did they need a beach scene? And what is at the classroom? |
| moment he swam out to get a $1 beach ball screamed death for him. well looks like the curse is even outside of yomiyama |
| Haha this shows must be a weird one to had a beach episode for a horror genre. Their whole theory was incorrect it seems. As I expected when someone reveal something new, someone is going to die. At least that's my current theory. |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| I think something is under the bench anyway nice fanservice episode :D and I am shocked that someone died... why? |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| This was no boating accident!!! Oops, wrong show. |
| I always lose at disc golf. I keep throwing the game. |
| I thought this was just gonna be a filler episode but nope gotta end a good heart warming episode with some gore! Looking forward to the next episode! |
 |
| I'm so glad that it wasn't a typical beach episode! But first of all - everyone thought it was a watermenlon in the beginning right? xD ------- I love when anime porgresses in a filler-type scenarios.. It's a kind of meta troll for the viewers :P I appreciate that the overall tone haven't changed. Cause that would be a disaster. And it wasn't! Yay!! The melancholic background at every ''beach fun'' scene is showing the fear and grief that burden characters trying to distract themselves and live a happy life at least for one day. A terrifying thing happened. A curse worked even beyond Yomiyama. Guys thought that they're not in danger as they're out of Yomiyama at the moment. Welp that's weird but more interesting otherwise all the students and their families would be able to stop the curse right away by simply moving to other places. .... and the death. That guy had the worst idea EVER! Not feeling well all day and suddenly deciding to go far away in the sea. Genius! Other dead people had more common sense, smh. And why Katsumi left the hint in the class? pretty convenient for the plot haha :D |

| Nobody is safe! Not even outside the town |
 |
| Another “dumb ways to die”, why did he try to catch that beach ball anyway. And that bg music when they are catching some fish, it’s much better if they use a lively one to liven up the mood. It would be a perfect transition to that gruesome death, will make everyone surprise I think. Because of that somewhat slow bg music, you already know there will be something bad about to happen. Maybe that’s why some people here think this anime is predictable. |
| Things started out really cherry and optimistic. Infact this was the only episode where the main cast were this happy! I was thinking that the car-sick guy might drown and die but nah they always make the deaths so gory. Also looks like the 'key' to stop the curse is where it all began...In the classroom. Also pretty decent fanservice lol. |
 |
| My theory: The thing the aunt can't remember involves this year's dead student I believe. Bruh ofc someone else dies by the end of the episode. Mei is still my bet for the dead student. It literally cannot be anyone else. And if it is they will have to justify it very well. |
| Omg and I was hoping this would end on a good note, but no, ofc he had to swim 10 kilometers just to get a damn beach ball. Ouch, that dead was horrifying. 4 episodes left. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| This episode really caught me off guard because it deviated hard from the novel and the manga. This whole episode basically never happened. That death was really cool tho. |
 |
| I really loved this episode, it was 99% wholesome and it felt like a different show outside of the curse discussion, seeing the gang enjoy themselves on the beach with some nice ost was so good, it’s one of those things where you would love to see these characters in a non horror setting and just get to have fun, and we kinda got that here, it’s just a shame for them it’s still the same universe lol. But I will say, this episode also had the most avoidable and dumbest death in the series. Yeah, the curse isn’t supposed to work outside of Yomiyama, but you are the fucking cursed class 3, you should have stopped that guy from going so far out into the water for a $2 beach ball, that’s just dangerous in general, like man that was dumb lol. Good thing he was a random character and not a main one. |
| A decent way to integrate a beach ep IG |
 |
| wtf was that ending man |

| Laughed audibly when the car-sick dude died at the end there. Most ridiculous death yet. He swims like a kilometre out into wavy open ocean just to retrieve a beach ball, and goes from waving his hand to signal he's fine to drowned and dead within about ten seconds. Then a speed boat comes and carves him up just to be sure. At some point you have to be a bit cautious about putting yourself in such a dangerous situation when you know there's some supernatural force that takes advantage of it. |

| Wtf!>, even outside of Yomiyami, they still couldn't escape the curse! |
| Did we seriously need a beach episode? lol okay to be fair this didn't really focus on much fan service compared to others and we even got to learn about the clue that Mitsunaga left behind I will admit though, that death was just kinda dumb lol he really thought it was a good idea to swim out to get that ball? It looked pretty far out. I know they weren't in town anymore but even so lol |
