Hmm of course Kouichi's phone call with his dad could be a trap. Hmm referring to what Chibiki-san said, people who are out of range, like Kouichi's dad was, aren't affected; thereby, his dad was able to probably recall perfectly about his previous visit in Yomiyama. However, since that convo was supposedly out-of-bounds to the phenomenon...his dad's memory was somewhat altered(?) after he asked that to Kouichi. They were connected by the phone line (so not really out-of-range before the signal died on them) after all despite his father being in India. So, there's a little lapse in the phenomenon since his father was able to squeeze the question, but it was immediately corrected by whatever phenomenon. But besides the phone call becoming a probably great red herring, it's also an elaboration of how strong the memory alteration is. For Kouichi to probably not remember his visit or his probable stay at Yomiyama since 1.5 years ago (perhaps he never left ever since?), everything was really being kept in track by whatever phenomenon. Quite calculating and abrupt, right??? Whatever it was seems omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent... I wonder if he'll be able to have the same convo with his father though, or if the signal will continue to barricade their communication due to the phenomenon. Hmm after rewatching, I wonder...if the dead person's family dies when the charm doesn't work?? Hmm...and in Reiko's year, the phenomenon stopped in midyear, but she couldn't remember. I think that's quite problematic because it seems like even though the students in Reiko's year were able to stop the phenomenon, the memory alterations remain a nuisance for the information of how to stop the deaths to be handed down. Thereby, it seems like that although they found a way to stop the phenomenon in one year, a dead person will still appear in 3rd year, 3rd class in the future. "Another" being an implication of a never-ending cycle. Quite sad for them... If someone was able to write the way to stop it though, I wonder if it won't be altered?? Are the class rosters and memories the only ones altered?? Hmmm Also, now that I think about it...it'll be summer in their time soon...and it was mentioned that the deaths stopped during summer break in Reiko's year?? Some foreshadowing of a parallel or repetition in Kouichi's time??? Interesting if that's the case. So many things you can discover during summer breaks after all. Ü |

It airs in Japan around 1:35-2:05 am in Sunday; I think (if I remember right from the jp site). If you're in the US, subbed ep comes out before or after noon of Monday. |

So as of episode 6 I have two theories on who the dead person is. If somebody has read the manga please do not spoil it as I am loving this anime and like playing the guessing game. But my guess is the dead person is either Yuuya Mochizuki because the fact that he has been nearby every death and he is the only charachter besides the main charachter who hasn't died yet or even gotten threatened by falling glass. Not only that, he seems to have a fasination with drawing creepy shit and just all around looks like the kind of guy who would end up being evil and going crazy. My other theory is obviously the main charachter himself. only for the fact that the anime started with him waking up in a hospital when it could have easily have started anywhere else and not change the plot. They gave a hint in one of the episodes that any time death is nearby the cell phones mess up however if you watch the very fist episode, his phone was messing up long before things started happening almost like he's contacting people on the other side. Not only that but the main charachter is there for EVERY death scene. HE watches the girl trip down the stairs. He's on the phone when the girls gets on the elevator. He was walking home when the kid had a heart attack and was even there when the pane of glass fell over. Not only that but in the first episode one of the students said that he was closer to death than anybody else. These are just my thoughts. anybody else agree? |

I don't think Mochizuki is the dead one... I get exactly the opposite feeling about him... I think he is going to die soon... As for main character I already stated why I don't believe that he is the dead one.... |

did anyone remember what the protagonist's dad said about him coming back there after a year and a half. I think the protagonist is the dead one. |

I mean, if he'd come to life and people's memories (the nurse's and doctors') were altered before his dad was contacted it would still be the most likely theory, no? |

I just don't think that's the case...I just feel that if that theory is correct it has many holes, and I wouldn't find it satisfying.... I think it's either Mei or Reiko.... Especially Reiko... She is the strangest one, and also that bird wants to tell us something.... P.S. Close to death can mean anything.... One obvious example is Reiko if she is the dead one, although I don't know how students would know about her being dead... Also everybody seems to know about his mother (what we found out in this episode) although it's not stated, but everyone was looking at records so I guess they know.... Many theories, we'll just have to wait for episode 7 and 8, there will be some change, I just don't know what.... |

So the fact that the returning dead student alters everyone's memories means that anyone in the class is fair game to be the dead student at this point. But if it's Kouichi it will feel like a bit of a copout. By the way, I just noticed that the lighting on everyone's hair looks like EKG flatlines. I can't unsee it now O_O |

Adair said: This show is absolutely ridiculous (not to mention confusing), but somehow I can't stop watching it. I hope it gains some semblance of a plot soon though. Haha Ü There is a plot, but the way they cope up with the supposed conflict is slow and sometimes (or often?) apathetic. When they first heard about it, they try different stuff and speculate, but it's still no good because the phenomenon is way too advanced for them. Then, the significance of their supposed mission fades away as the next death didn't come immediately, and life got in the way (e.g.studies, eating on rooftops, whatever); thus, they've become apathetic at a point. As to the ridiculousness, well, stories like this one or The Ring or The Grudge (and tons more) have always been so, but we watch and jeer at the stupidity or (rarely) lack of it (very rare I might add; or none at all) of the characters in them. But, more than such a condescending entertainment, they make us curious as to how it'll all end. And we'd want to know/prove if we're right or wrong from the start... Anyway, I don't find it confusing. |

But If you don't know it, then I probably heard it somewhere else so I will not tell you her last name since it can be called spoiling.... As for the "she is not in the class" Who says she has to be in the class. I think extra can be anyone in the school connected to class 3... Like teacher for example..... Again I realized something very interesting which can be true regarding Reikos last name. I don't want to search it online since I will end up spoiling myself... Again if you know her last name I will tell you why I think she can be dead one... EDIT: I searched online to see if her last name was mentioned before, and from what I found out it was... So just in case I will put it under spoiler tags... Let's assume the Reiko=Ms. Mikami... Then I can understand how she could be the dead one. Only problem is how did she become the dead one and who died in April... Maybe Mei's cousin Also remember this: Mei said “the people connected to the class who have died over the years” - So it's not only limited to students...

Have to be Reiko. Kouchi's memories were altered by the curse, like everyone else. But he didn't have to forget he was in the town unless he needed to forget something specific about someone. He was no friend of anyone there, probably. So we can conclude that he forgot something about a family member. Thus, Reiko. |

I didn't read the spoiler, so I can't really comment on the stuff connected to it, but the whole curse is about there being too many students in the class (one extra), so there is one less seat (that's how they find out) and they have to end up ignoring someone. So yes, a student has to be the dead one. (the whole point is that an extra name appears on the class roster as the dead student comes in and since everyone's memories are altered as well, they can't find out who it is). That's why Reiko can't be the dead one. Correct me if I've got the whole story wrong. |

Curse was set in motion before he came to class. In April, since they started ignoring Mei in May... And you can read the spoiler.... There's nothing special in it... At least I know people who came to same conclusion as I so it's not spoiler but theory.... And as I already said and as Mei said, anyone connected to class 3 can be the dead one... Also she said that older students who die were sometimes the extra person, so that also includes Reiko... And regarding what's under spoiler tags... Physical similarity is obvious... |

I think you're misunderstanding what Mei said: anyone who was connected to Class 3 and died because of the curse can be the "dead one," even if they weren't ever a student in Class 3 -- but the dead one is always a current student in the class. The reason the current Class 3 had enough desks at the beginning of the year is because they had accounted for the extra student. There's a good chance the dead one was already in the class when Kouichi transferred in (unless, of course, Kouichi is the dead one). According to the information we have now, I don't think it can be Reiko (if it were, she would've been "reincarnated" as a student in the current Class 3). Of course, Mei and/or Chibiki may not fully understand the curse -- if the information we got in EP 5/6 is wrong, I could see the dead one being Reiko. EDIT: And I'm not sure that they didn't start treating Mei as nonexistent until May. I think EP 6's pre-OP scene took place in April, and then the post-OP scene took place on May 1st, as we see on the chalkboard. |

Of course, Mei and/or Chibiki may not fully understand the curse -- if the information we got in EP 5/6 is wrong, I could see the dead one being Reiko. THIS POST IS FOR THEORY LOVERS, NO SPOILER IS GIVEN ON FURTHER EPISODES, SIMPLY USING INFO ALREADY GIVEN AND MAKING HYPOTHESIS BASED ON THEM (so nothing you ''shouldn't'' know already). IF YOU'RE NOT INTERESTED, DON'T READ THE SPOILERS. If we assume that Reiko is indeed Mikami, the assistant homeroom teacher [Other than the physical resemblance and the int that Mikami is Reiko's married name, both Reiko and Mikami seem to act strange : the confusion and headaches Reiko is experiencing (and her weird memory losses) and the catotonia/depression state of Mikami, especially when Sakakibara looks at her (+ the fact she is out sick often and isn't involved very much at this point).] the librarian mentions that Mikami sensei has been homeroom teacher before (probably two years ago ?) and saw the calamity happen (correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that's what he said). Then, this year, they put her back as assistant homeroom teacher. But maybe she died two years ago and she is the dead person. Though, that doesn't make much sense with the desks, at least it's someone who's really IN the class. Could explain why the phenomenon didn't happen ''right away'', cause she's only ''assistant'' homeroom teacher. Then again, I'm only theorizing since the librarian shouldn't remember her as having been homeroom teacher before if she's supposed to be dead (erased from the rosters). + Why would the librarian remember both Reiko and Mikami as different persons if they're the same ? + remembering one as the student from 15 years ago and the other one as a homeroom teacher. I can understand for Sakakibara since he's exposed to both of them simultaneously in the story, but it would be weird for the librarian. As for the change some of you have mentioned, since the current homeroom teacher will probably die next ep., it would be normal to assume that Mikami will become the new homeroom teacher, thus being ''permanently'' part of class 3. Thus, IF she is really Reiko and is the ''dead person'', there will probably be more deaths regarding the curse. Still, even if I'm wrong, I pretty sure Reiko is the key character at this point (the grandpa's comment implies that she's dead) and Mikami will probably be very important too (since it's theoricaly her ''second'' time experiencing the curse) Up to this point, the only other option is Sakikabara as the dead person but I truly disbelieve that for some reason (maybe the feeling, as some have said before, that it is ''too easy''), even if it would make the story even creepier :p. For now, what I think is what I said earlier. |

I think Sakakibara is the dead person :( Oh and Misaki is getting cuter and cuter x3!! I like her and sakakibara as a couple u.u |

PaninaManina said: Triskel said: Up to this point, the only other option is Sakikabara as the dead person If so, the father wouldn't call to him, after all, he's dead right? I think that the father proves he is alive. But do we know for how long his dad's been away ? Still, for sure, Reiko's case is way more fishy than is Sakakibara's one IMO. @Miharu_Endoh, the fact that his memory has been altered doesn't necessarily mean that HE is the dead person. We know that anybody involved with class 3 can have his memory altered regarding the dead one. So it's not really solid ''fact'', I believe. |

All these comments make mo go and check.. But I will not.... I agree it might be Kouichi but I just don't think it's him... My bet is that Reiko indeed is the same person as Ms. Mikami.... I even think it was stated somewhere around first 2 episodes. And why would she insist on him to obey the rules, she definitely knows something... I will stick with Reiko being the dead one. So far most clues point to that. I believe Mei and librarian are wrong about curse. They simply don't know enough or they are wrong which can be understood since memory has been altered... So I think Reiko = Mikami and that she is the dead one. I will keep waiting and I will not search online since I love making new theories and gathering clues... :) And I also like talking to people about theories and If I know who the dead one is then I can't comment... :) BTW Triskel you read my previous post about Reiko didn't you ? :P Physical resemblance is really strange... And also if we assume that they are the same person and show confirms it (if it didn't already) then we can pretty much be sure that she is the dead one. Although I truly believe that she is the dead one is I hope that she is not. It's to obvious if it's true and I might be little disappointed even though it will not affect how I rate this anime.... |

PaninaManina said: Kouchi's father don't know he is dead? Impossible. HAHA. Like the ''Impossible'' comment. Well, I wouldn't go to this extent, let's just say that it is possible but very unlikely xD ? Akutasame94 said: My bet is that Reiko indeed is the same person as Ms. Mikami.... I even think it was stated somewhere around first 2 episodes. And why would she insist on him to obey the rules, she definitely knows something... Yet again, I can only say the same thing as I said earlier (but I won't repeat myself). Even if we assume that they are the same, for now, there still is a lot of things that aren't coherent with this theory. I hope it will be made clear by next ep. or soon enough. |

Creeepy. But a really good episode that gave us a more in depth analysis of the situation, which I was grateful for! Personally, I thought the teacher had body parts in that bag. o___o'' I don't know why I thought that though... |

And because he looked like a zombie from the beginning :D |

So I just saw the titles for EP8 ("Hair Stand") and EP9 ("Body Paint") on ANN (I'm not sure where they're coming from, since they're not on the official site, but whatever). It looks like the doll that's being constructed here will more or less be finished by EP9, so I'm wondering what the titles for the final three episodes will be. "Faceup"? Something to do with clothing? |

Mei looked great this episode, and so was the ending. The story, however, is a little strange. |

Probably the best episode so far, I liked the interaction between Mei and Sakakibara, not only did we learn a lot, the topics they discussed were very interesting. The dancing sequence was exactly something I had a little rant about during the last episode's discussion, it was awesome. So, Sakakibara actually might have visited the town before and does not remember it. I wonder what that could possibly mean. 4/5 can't wait to see what the teacher has in store for the students. Ps: My 666th post is one in an Another's discussion topic? Gotta admire life's sense of humor. "- You know... death isn't something gentle. It's black. Black as far as the eye can see. And you are all alone. - All alone... - Yes. No different from living though, isn't it? It doesn't matter how many relationships we seem to have. We're all alone." |

Okay, so episodes during episodes 1-4 this show seemed really cool, with loads of potential. Then episode 5 and 6 just ruined it for me. It just seems like an anime with an amazing atmosphere and bad plot. I hope they turn it around, but my hopes aren't really that high. I'm pretty disappointed about it :( Her glass eye is so much better than her eyepatch, but either way she seems like a less cute version of Enma Ai. I did love that dance seen though, I totally loled. Also, if everyone survives by moving, don't you think everyone would've moved over the years? Again, an explanation filled episode. The past 2 episodes don't flow nearly as well with the series as the first 4. |

So everyone here is into that eyepatch... Huh, well, I am hooked. Also, I suspect the twintailed girl will be the second heroine |
