| Yes good. Finally, an explanation to this madness! WolfWood37 said: Finally we got the infodump, Class 3 are a bunch of dicks. I get why they are doing it but they should have explained this to him outright. Would have avoided a lot of confusion. ^ |
| So they created a lot of solutions to solve this case, but only they can do it's to choose one person of the class and think that person doesn't exists.... So sad. Why they not try to delete the class to see if the problem will be solved? |

| ...So Misaki isn't dead? Didn't see that coming, guess it's just a weird coincidence her and the girl who died shared the same name. Now that these two are outcasts, I wonder what will happen. I feel like people will still die. I'm getting that feeling that maybe Sakakibara is the one who's dead now. |

Sir_Lexa said: Thanks.VanillaIceCream said: What I don't get, though, is why has the curse started again? Is it because Koichi joined the class? And if so, could it mean Koichi himself is dead? Cause he didn't ignore Misaki. Probably. |

J053PH said: PaninaManina said: Same here.I'm still not convinced that Misaki really exist. Same here as well. Even if it is a simple explanation of "everybody is pretending she doesn't exist," it doesn't answer the question of why SHE was picked. It's a simple coincidence the weird, soft-spoken girl maintaining a number of secrets of her own (why was she visiting the hospital?) is the one they exclude? Even if that is the case, there's still the chance she's the dead student. Well, it's getting pretty interesting, at least. |

| Sooo, one of the students is basically a zombie? Wasn't expecting that one lol. But yeah, I had my doubts as to whether Misaki was actually a ghost or not. Shes still creepy as hell though. It still doesn't explain why she has the same exact name as the dead girl... is she like a relative or something? Also I'm sorry, but the first thing that popped into my head when that kid started clutching at his heart was *GODDAMN YOU KIRA!* lmao. |

souledge94 said: Ah so thats there plan and I guess it works. Untill they botched it and didint tell the new guy hey dont talk to her. Also the heart attack death was rather lame and random. So now we have basically a ghost thats a combination of other ghost that are killing people. That's why in the manga this death happens off-screen. In the Anime they decided to show it anyway. It's just one ghost, not more. Every year ONE death person (who died because of this curse) comes back. |
 |
| So basically everyone in the class is just an asshole? |

| If she isn't a ghost, why was she invisible when the red head was looking at him standing next to her? |
| This was an interesting episode. We learned a lot and another death occured with no gore this time around. |
 |
| What an awesome episode. I really liked the twist, having Misaki be a ghost wouldn't be nearly as interesting as this situation. (And I almost called it with Misaki working in that studio, turns out she actually lives in there. Oh well, the principle is the same: she's physically there, but she's not a customer, therefore the old lady wasn't lying.) Anyway, one thing seems to be off: It looks like people are more likely to die when they acknowledge Misaki. It doesn't have to happen in all cases, obviously (look at the megane girl's mother, for example), but acknowledging she exists looks like a death sentence. Why doesn't it work on Sasakibara? Was it a coincidence? Or maybe it doesn't work on him because he wasn't a part of that class/someone close to that class when they made the decision to ignore her? Anyway, I really hope Sasakibara isn't the dead person, that would be such a cliché. I also really, really like that the reason they didn't want to tell him was logical. I mean, how are you going to tell your classmate to ignore Misaki without acknowledging she exists? He really shouldn't have been placed into this class. |

| so Misaki isn't a ghost I love how this is progressing |
| So basically all this crap is only happening because everyone is cryptic as hell for no reason. Well done everybody. |
| this show's been decent so far but i wish they didn't just spoonfeed me all this background information through dialogue |
| I never actually doubted Misaki's existence. |
| but wait... his mother graduated in 1972 and this anime takes place in 1998 (as shown on the roster) that means his mother was in class 3 26 years ago, so she was in that cass when Misaki died.... |
 |
| Suddenly explained the Title of the show; "Another" meaning "Another person in the class" |
| How does it feel not to exist? XD |

| Episodio 05 - Build Limbs: So the reason behind the "ignore Kouichi" Kouichi rules was for some type of charm, for no more deaths? that was created 10 years ago. Then the previous class officer don't wanted to ignore Kouichi and neither tell him the true (mistake), but then Akazawa use her charm on Kouichi in a desperate way, so that there are no more deaths. Then if Kazazami had warned him not to go to Mei, none of this would have happened? or maybe this would happen anyway, he won't ignore Mei, he was happy that she exists. And because Kouichi talks with Mei which "does not exist" Now Kouichi must cease to exist in the class eyes for the charm to work. Is possible that this "extra" student is Kouichi itself? or is someone from the ending? and what happened to his mother in the first cursed class 3? his mother dies because of the curse? just after Kouichi was born? Now is the begining of a "romantic" (just kidding) relation between those that should not exist. 4/5 |

| It's annoying how they always say to stick to the rules, but nobody explain those said rules. |

| First half was meh. At least some questions were finally answered in the second half. I wonder how this will end though. |
 “Even if the attention isn’t forever, I’ll keep singing.” |
| Heart attack? Kira was here. This is interesting, but one thing is can't they just "terminate" class? I mean, disband it and send students to other classes/schools. |
 |
| Ooouuuuu~~~ so is Koichi dead or nahhhhh? lol xP at the beginning, Akazawa kept asking him if he's ever been to their part of town before bc she swears she's seen him before so maybe he IS dead and doesn't know it o__o |
| that "counter-measure" is so stupid... As soon as she started explaining I was like "don't tell me they ignore the girl to solve the problem of the student count". I was really hoping that's not it but it was >.> So Misaki Mei is actually a regular student and not the ghost of a girl that died (most likely. I mean she could still be the "extra" person of the class in that year). That took quite a lot of mystery out of this tbh. I was hoping for something horror-like at least but it's just people being stupid. I mean technically there are still people dying in unlikely means but Misaki Mei is not the reason at all. So anticlimactic I'm wondering how they are going to continue this now. They effectively reduced the story to two people unless they show it in two strings or the class realizes that it's already to late. I mean the class is trying to ignore them. They can't really interact withe each other anymore now. |
| I was happy when Takabayashi died. He tried to associate with that bitch Sakakibara and look what happened. Sakakibara continues to distress me this episode. I hope he dies while worms eat at his body. He continues acknowledging that Mei exists just because he wants to get laid. Motherfucker. The class made the right decision by isolating Sakakibara. Sakakibara is my most hated character of all time. I hope that bitch dies. I mean, he is not even concerned about Mikami's death and also doesn't shed a tear for Takabayashi's death. If I was in the classroom, I would have killed him already. That heartless bastard. I mean, though Takabayashi thoroughly deserved his death, Sakakibara is the only one who doesn't care. It is like he wants everyone in the class to die. I don't care if Mei actually exists or not. She should have stopped conversing and interacting with that bitch of Sakakibara, in order to save people from dying. She knew all this and still decided to provoke him further. That stupid nurse totally deserved her death from last episode. She was a corrupt nurse who was stupid to go to the school terrace for a fucking phone call. The only one in this anime who is little bit likable is Izumi. I am gonna just down rate this anime if they decide to praise Sakakibara's actions as heroic. Only way I give this anime a 8 is if Sakakibara dies in a ditch horribly and regrets his actions. |
 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. |
| Wait a minute. Mei was ignored, thereby decreasing the count by one. If Kouichi transferred in, would that not increase by one? Thereby negating the ignoring of Mei? I am a bit confused there tbh.. |
 |
| Agree with the guy above me. If they are ignoring Mei to bring the count down then shouldn't they have to ignore somebody else as soon as our MC transferred in? |
| ^ same with the two people above me. why ignore kouichi is mei is the one being ignored? although now i'm thinking the "dead person" who has a soul and memories still is kouichi |
| I think how to avoid the death is to not to talk about the incident ever anymore. So Mei still alive and just being ignored just like Misaki. And now they're ignoring them both, but the moment Teshigawara said sorry to Kouichi, the whole plan failed. I think they need to do that as a class not just as a person. If 1 person fails then all fails. |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
Vindicater said: Agree with the guy above me. If they are ignoring Mei to bring the count down then shouldn't they have to ignore somebody else as soon as our MC transferred in? good point, they failed from the start, even if he/mc would have never spoken to mei they were still screwed, they were so dumb 😂 @JeremiahOrange they were already screwed cause mc transfering there cause they already had 1extra student and woth him its 2extras, death reall has hard on class 3 to screw them over by adding 1more this time to screw up their counter mesure saengdao said: ^ same with the two people above me. why ignore kouichi is mei is the one being ignored? although now i'm thinking the "dead person" who has a soul and memories still is kouichi doesn't make sense cause they had the extra before him transfering there |

| Not as gory as last episode but that's okay because i'm happy that Misaki's and Kouichi's relationship is growing! |
 |
| I think Mei is alive but there must be more to her than this, come on, the girl visited morgue for doll parts! So something supernatural just doesn't want that class to have one more student .. Soi think i got it, the rule 4 might be about ghosting one chosen person in the class. And everyone who died in previous episodes had broken that rule, no doubt. BUT. QUESTION. Is Mochizuki alive rn??? He mentioned Misaki in the note for Kouichi! also i don't think that Kouichi is the second extra person, i think the class decided to ignore him too so that they won't end up acknowledging Misaki because of his questions ! And I really wonder who is the ghost! no clue for now! |
 |
| Finally some answers! Rip the guy with the bad heart, though |
 |
| So Mei became a sacrifice, poor girl. I wonder why she’s the one who were treated to be nonexistent. |
| Whew finally we get to know what's actually going on. Mei Misaki ain't dead :') Also if I were to be ignored and not told anything clearly I would have thrown my hands pretty soon lol. Also that class rep girl Akazawa right? She seems so ignorant and annoying. If they could just discuss this with Koichi, it would have been hella better. He would have atleast known the reason and it would have been easy to cooperate with others. |
