I thought the same the same thing, but she explained that it was a doll's eye. I dont think that she spoke of it metaphoricaly.. heterochromia.. beautiful, isnt it? 0.1% of the world has it! |
 |
| Damn! I didn't expect that! |
| Just as I started to really like her, she dies like that! Really looking forward to finding out more about this legend. |
| I pretty much guessed a lot of the stuff that was going to happen this episode, even her death, but holy crap it was still very shocking and impacting to actually see it |
 |
| One thing, this is why you don't run in the halls. I don't get it though, did she actually see her? |
| dat nigga dead |
 |

| ---------My Profile------------ |
| Funny how Mei first tells how she lost her cousin in that hospital last month, and a minute later goes 'Hurr I don't exist!'. Way to contradict yourself. I'm really confused about Mei Misaki's identity. Is she the girl from 26 years ago? If she is, then how in the world could her COUSIN be a junior high student?! It also makes no sense because Mei is supposedly a ghost, so either the cousin could see her like the MC does or she was already dead like Mei was, which is impossible because she died last month when the MC was still in the hospital. Also, the main character is SUCH a slow person. Just ask the stuff you want to know and that Mei Misaki would most likely answer most of it, if not all. She never showed any restraint in sharing information, it's just that the MC is just being way too careful with his words. |

| WHAT THE HELL?! So she doesn't exist so why can he see her? And did glasses girl see her too and suddenly got an umbrella to the throat? What the hell is going on here? |
 |
| Ah, the infamous umbrella death scene! Everyone warned me about this and now I see it.... I burst out laughing because it was so expected. "Kya! I tripped and got stabbed by my umbrella." Anyway, I take back what I said from episode 1. It's starting to get mediocre. This show keeps on teasing the mystery but whenever the MC gets close to the truth, somehow it avoids him and he's back to square one. silversaint said: yeah im gonna have some laughs with this anime ^ |
| The first one's dies... poor girl. She's a really nice student. |

VanillaIceCream said: 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. I don't think Mei is dead at all and It shocked me too that she was the first but you never run with an umbrella down the stairs. |
 |
| This show gets better and better. I liked her, sad to see her go... who's next? And what is the mystery with Misaki? Something about her causing deaths every year around this time or something? We'll see I guess... |
| Unfortunately I had her death spoiled (I'm never going to read "Is this anime worth watching" threads ever again) but still I'm really suprised how detailed it was. I mean there was no looking away etc. The show gives us a lot of unanswered answers and main character is starting to be annoying with his slow thinking. |
 |
| Finally... Something happened! But it somehow managed to pull it off without getting any less boring. Gonna decide if I should drop it after another episode... |

Yes, it is a culture thing. The number 4 is like our number 13. |

| THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY |
That ending... |
| So, there's another Misaki. Cool, it's getting interestiiiiiiing!! ^-^ This death by an umbrella was kinda cool :D I WANT MOOOORE! |
 |
| no vagina eye. I am disappoint. holy smokes that death at the end was difficult for me to watch ._. |

| That's why you dont run down the stairs... especially with an umbrella with a pointy top. But in all seriousness, that was seriously painful. |
 |
| Whelp, that was friggin brutal, loved it. Also this episode makes me glad I never use umbrellas lol. |
 |
| never use stairs .... or umbrellas and escpeccially never both at the same time lol |
 |
| Can't believe she died, and died just like that.... That death was just plain awful.... How more unlucky can you even get... |

| I only watch this series at night before bed xD The pace is a bit slow, but that's how tension rises. I have a good feeling about the next episodes, hope I don't get disappointed. That end was a good start I'm too excited to see what's next. |

| Are you people blind or something? It was fucking obvious that she was going to die after like two-three episodes. Just look at her haircut and moe moe face silversaint said: ^yeah im gonna have some laughs with this anime |

| What a fucking half assed fall. "I am going to die in the most lame ass way possible of the highest precision." Also your "creepy" character can't be that creepy when she's so cute. |
| brutal pretty bs way to die but ok |
  |
| and it begins. this has now gotten really interesting. |
| The narrative is tremendously heavy and slow, the star then it really does seem a fool, but to raise the episode has the thought of the really grisly end, however, there is also a very strange inconsistency in it, due to the behavior of the characters. Drawings and animations rather than discrete, beautiful dolls. |
 |
| I remember seeing that umbrella scene before but forgot it was from Another. That totally caught me off guard. |
 |
| Well, maybe my sense of humor is fucked up, but the whole umbrella scene seemed funny to me, not scary. I mean, what an absurd way to die. Is it even possible to kick the bucket like that? Would her body gain enough momentum from the fall to get pierced through? And how likely it is that the umbrella would be positioned so conveniently as to cause her death? I'm not usually the one to complain about realism in a freaking horror anime, but still, the contrived circumstances kinda ruined the moment for me. I would have preferred some other - more realistic - death, like maybe her falling and cracking her skull in the process. Still, I liked the episode, even though the previous one was better. It just seems a bit strange since it seemed like Sakakibara was figuring things out already, but then he just acted so surprised here. Well, maybe that was to be expected; perhaps he didn't think his theories would be confirmed. I also think that the megane girl (what was her name?) saw Misaki and that was what shocked her so much. Perhaps people see Misaki shortly before dying? Aside from Sakakibara, of course. |
| I am sure she saw Mei WHAT JUST HAPPENED |
| On the tip of my umbrella.... ella... ella... The death scene seem very forced to look like its dramatic and tragic but its almost impossible to happen in real world how the hell a timid middle-school girl has spear tipped umbrela The Story telling is not catchy The People and situation around him started to look very annoying for not completeing the story, again seem too forced to keep the story a mystery i will drop this show if next episode is still lame |

| Episode 03 - Bone Work: Awesome episode and a unexpected death (but now it seems like, she exist in others people eyes too) Mei told the horror story to Kouichi and get the full name of Misaki by the nurse: Misaki Fujioka (the cousin of Mei, who seems to use her identity too) later on, Mei says to Kouichi that she does not exist in other eyes people. Many mysteries behind Mei that is interesting to watch. Like his Dolls eye and the hollow dolls thing (as if the dolls wanted to absors people souls, because they are hollows, empty inside) That end is somewhat weird but is likely that Sakuragi got to see Mei, so she got scared (or a curse?!) and she falls from the stairs and get killed by the umbrella, don't know why Sakuragi has to die. 5/5 "My left eye is a doll's, it can see things tha should remain unseen, so I usually kept it covered" Mei (Another) |

| Fucking stupid idiot girl, why the fuck do you need to panic and run. Just walk normally. What a dumbass |
| i actually really liked the girl that died... i can't handle gore so i was covering my eyes and i feel for her )': |
 |
| I will never walk the stairs with an umbrella the same way again... |
 “Even if the attention isn’t forever, I’ll keep singing.” |
| Not sure I liked the pace of information in this episode, but I did find the ending to be crazy! |
