Wow, the suspense was keeping me on the edge and then finally someone died!!!

I was having doubts about how they were presenting the plot, but this was great!

Now I can't wait for next week!

This episode somehow reminded me of the book/movie "Omen"


By the way, where does the censored release come from? I'm watching the HorribleSubs release and it seems less censored than the OP's screencap.

holy shit that was unexpected i was like 'oh gosh no no she's gonna die but i don't want her to die'. Then she died I feel so sorry for her that it happened and for the boy that liked her but looked like he didn't get a chance to confess to her.

Censorship sucks!

Knowing what's going to happen makes the build up feel too slow. I recommend not reading ahead xD. Still really cool to see it animated.

At first I felt this episodes was answering too much, but afterwards new questions have arisen, so all is well. I'm a little bummed out that the megane-girl died..

Still a few things point in both directions, if Mei is dead or not - but it seems more certain now that she's shunned. For example; the looks from megane-boy and megane-girl plus the exam ontop of her desk. Is she just trolling Kouichi cause she's grown so accustomed and/or cynical towards the whole thing that she just plays along - "yes, yes I don't exist blablabla"?

So, the girls with glasses storm out of the classroom cause someone related crashed with a car, as seen in the preview? A) she sees Kouchi and thinks he's cursed her for bringing up Mei, or B) she actually sees Mei and freaks out.

More from the preview I'm guessing the woman with the blue ribbon is Kirika. And more so that she's somehow related to Mei. Mei being kinda vague about where she lives, I'm guessing she lives in that same house - which would explain how she disappears all of a sudden. Still the shop's interior is hard to figure out, so there could be an alternative route to go down, therefor both she and Kouichi were unaware of each other in ep. 2.

This was a really good episode. I'm starting to become very confused over Mei's identity now - I'm not sure when she died or if she even ever existed. That ending, by the way, totally shocked me. I wasn't expecting Yukari to die first, or in such a horrible and painful way.

You're probably right. It could also be possible that all the students in class 3 will all die at the end, and maybe the same thing had happened in the past years that's why the students were so anxious on telling Koiuchi about the story. We just saw the first death and now who will be the next one? damn this is so thrilling. I like where this anime is heading. Im hoping for more disturbing scenes next week /droool

YES! REALISTIC!
-falling of the stairs, no broken neck (lucky)
-umbrella reaches the floor faster than the girl
-umbrella has a HUUUUGE pike on top
-umbrella lands in THIS position and is even capable to pierce the girl
Could be interesting if things wouldn't be this hilarious. XD
Final Destination is more realistic lol.

I'm thinking thats why people are afraid of Misaki ordeal cause if they see her they will die shortly afterwards.

Still I was like Holy Shit wasn't expecting glasses girl to die. xD

So a small deduction from what I've seen so far:


I can't wait until I know WHY?
Normally I'd find a summary of the manga and/or novel, but I can't find one.. So I'm waiting to be scared again in the next episode.

Rather than realism, isn't the fun of horror garbed with immense suspension of disbelief?

I don't think Sakuragi's death was stupid at all. If anything, it's a sign that (as Mei had said), "It may have already begun."

I think they did well on the slow motion.

Anyway, I won't spoil on the manga, but it'll all make sense soon. 3 eps isn't enough to judge the whole thing.

Or maybe she was freaked out about seeing Mei and her dying was just an accident from running down the stairs because she got scared.

Yeah, and if anyone can remember, she sprained her ankle in ep 1, right?

If it's her clumsiness-mingled-with-fear, the world can be deadly.

That's what I'm thinking. Dunno why she would be so suprised just from seeing Kouichi. Good epsiode, finally getting interesting.

Final Destination is more realistic lol.


THIS!!!

Yes, it was disturbing and chilling. But part of me thought, "Christ, not a 'lets find incredibly gruesome almost impossible ways to kill someone' show". Having her crack her head open falling down the stairs would have been gruesome enough and much more believable.

For me how she died practically ruined what was otherwise a really great episode.

You can argue that how she died couldn't possibly be accidental and it would make it seem like there's supernatural forces at work. However, i think it would be much better if it continued as if her accident could have been merely bad luck coupled with her foolish haste.

What a stupid ending to the episode.

And what if...Mei itself is a doll which contains the soul of the dead Misaki? Thinking about what Mei just said about dolls being searching for something to fill their emptiness, this might be a good theory, then.

So the first victim is the first to appear after the MC in the ED. Probably too obvious but maybe that will provide a clue to the order of victims.

Based on that i'd say only the MC, Twin tails and Misaki survive the series. As well as people who don't appear in ED. Twin tails appears in the foreground and the others appears more ghost like in the ED. She also appears last.

Still gutted for no more Nonoka Ai.

I just died (ok probably not the best choice of words), my mouth was wide open when I watched the girl die, wow shit is going down. My neck feels somewhat strange now :(

I think Mei looks pretty without the eye patch!

Oh god I want next episode now, I can't and I won't predict what's going to happen next...
