teacher's suicide was awesome!!!!! it wasn't at all shocking but i think it hinted at a demon taking over his body because it looked like he was fighting himself

You know, getting a knife and stabbing yourself in front of your students wouldn't be very healthy for them, right, Sensei?

What was with the dream in the second half...the only thing I could say to that was WTF.

Next episode is the class trip! Also, these two
in the same shot.
The statement below is true.

I thought for sure the teacher would kill a couple of students, but instead he just killed himself. The dream where everyone was melting was really creepy. Next episode looks way out of context, can't wait to see the surprise there.

The teacher took a while to kill himself. But it was nothing compare to that dream he had. People melting like candles.

Yeah, I haven't seen such a bloody anime since Elfen Lied yearrrrrs ago. It was my first boxset at the end of middle school. I haven't rewatched it in a while either. I'm usually pretty good with deaths and blood, but there is something about suicides that really freaks me out.

So Sakakibara is not eh ghost student(or he is and Misaki lied to him?).Because i was wondering about what his father said him (about that this is the 2nd time that he is in that city,but then he said he was wrong,something strange...)
At least the now all people of the class talk to them.
Damn teacher killing himself with a kitchen knife,probably his life was very bad :/
And by the way Izumi Akazawa is the prettiest girl in the anime,i like her very much,i hope now she will participate more in the anime plot.Her face when she was drinking the coffe,she is very cute awwww *-* :D

7 episodes in and still enjoying the ride. Sad that it has only 5 more episode. Kinda knew about the twin since I watched the OVA first without knowing.

The teacher died in style though. Very gruesome.

The Death was gruesome as hell!!

I knew it, this hypcrite students would start talking to them the moment their plan fails.

If i were Sakakibara, i would punch those assholes who refuse to talk to me in the early episodes.

And the dream sequence was scary as hell O____O

Seriously, i probably would have died heart attack on that one.

Seems Akazawa did indeed met Sakakibara back then.

I really do have a feeling that the Misaki "Mei" who appeared in the first episode and went on the basement was different compared to the Mei where Sakakibara first met on school,

It's a high possibility that Mei's dead sister is indeed the extra person who shouldn't be alive.

Can't wait for this! The beach preview could just be a red herring on things to come :P

I like that they are not "not there" anymore, and they can talk to the other characters like normal people. And the scene from the beginning reminds me a lot of Elfen Lied.

If Mei is so certain Sakakibara isn't the dead person (I assume because of her eye) why doesn't she just use her power on the rest of the class? I'm sure there'll be an answer but it's very strange.

The teacher really fell on his sword for them, but still that was absolutely brutal for anyone to watch.

Is Kouichi dead or not, I can't tell. I wonder why Mei thinks he isn't dead, maybe because she knows she is the dead one who knows...

Well, the main character could very well be the dead one, after all there are things he doesn't remember happened, like him having been in the town before and stuff, maybe he died and forgot he did.

And also, didn't Mei say she died shorty during the operation or something, maybe she's the dead one then.

yea cause stabbing yourself in front of the students does wonders for their minds. hope he didint have some type of disease that can be transfered by blood. Also why not blow your brains out. I mean it would have been less painful. Liked the mushy father talk thats one good dad. umm that last scene seemed rather pointless.

That doll room still freaks me the hell out, even more so this episode thanks to Mei acting extra creepy in it. Also her being so emotionless, even after witnessing that teachers death is just...odd. I'm starting to think she actually is some kinda doll that came to life or something :/.

I'm also starting to think Kouchi's aunt is actually dead, she just acts really weird. Not to mention they never did find out who the dead one was from 15 years ago, so maybe due to the calamity stopping midway she just stuck around? I'm probably wrong but eh.

Also if someone doesn't get eaten by a shark next episode I'll be highly disappointed lol.

So am I the only person at this point kinda shipping twintails and Kouichi? Their interactions in this episode made me root for it, I like Mei but the fact she's so emotionless makes me think that they work better as friends...

I also can't work out who i think the dead one is! I'll be pretty upset if it ends up being someone that we haven't met.

I don't get why no one finds it suspicious that Misaki had a cousin in the town who died during the school year. Speaking of which, some people seem to be confused. Misaki was likely visiting her COUSIN at the morgue. Her sister was a stillborn, meaning she died at birth.

So the literally city sized plot-hole is, if the curse/phenomenon/whatever doesn't extend to outside the city limits, as we've learned in Episode 6, WHY DON'T THEY ALL MOVE AWAY?? 100% chance to not be killed by this thing, and they pass it up because.... plot induced stupidity. WTF.

I really enjoyed this episode. I wonder what the guy meant when he insisted he saved them... Does that mean he killed those two students at the temple to stop the calamity? Maybe as some kind of offering to the dead? Interesting.

I've watched this episode. Then I went to school. I was on Maths class looking at my teacher and picturing him... you know.... This thing is that I sit on the desk right in front of teacher's.... God...
This anime is really exaggerated. Where on Hell would a techer kill himself in front of his class?? There are so many bridges on this world....

I'm pretty certain that's a red herring.

The prime candidate in my eyes is Akazawa. I suspect her to actually be Kouchi's mother. It'd explain the connection they have. I also think that what stopped the phenomenon mid-year 15 years earlier was that two persons, rather than one, died during the school trip. They must have 'killed' of the deceased person, explaining the second death.

That said, I'm not sure about this at all yet. There are basically three things bothering me:
  • Why did they stop going on trips in the 9th year, if it was during the 9th year trip that the phenomenon was halted?
  • Kouchi's father seems to remember him being in Yomiyama about one and a half years prior to the start of the series. What is that about?

  • What precisely is the connection between the extra deceased person and the deaths in class?

I think it's Kouchi, if you go back to the scene where he shakes hands with twin tails, his hand is slightly transparent, and you can see through it to what's on the table. This seems like perhaps him losing faith in his mortality could affect his physical form? Also you noted the earlier episode where his father said he was there a year and a half ago, then dropped it, I believe this is the memory altering portion in effect.

Episode 07 - Sphere Joint:

The sensei commit suicide, in front of 15 years old student (must be a shock for them).

Akazawa goes immediately to the point, Kouichi can be the death one (mysteries involves Kouichi mom's was a supposed death by the calamity) as a joke.

Mei tell Kouichi that he is not the one that is dead (maybe she can see something withthe doll's eyes of hers)

Akazawa maybe know Kouichi from childhood, and then the group get a hint of a man named Katsumi Matsunaga which was from the same class of Kouichi aunt, this person says that he know how to stop the calamity and that he left a note of this somewhere. But cause of the Curse itself his memory has been erased.

So many death flag :( mature ladies are bound to be gone. I think it gonna work the same way as the ring, even after breaking the curse it will still goes on again and again. Maybe the two who died during the trip was sacrificed?

That's not what I expected he was going to do with the knife. Can't complain though. Very surprising and definitely not expected like the previous gory deaths(the heart attack was kinda sudden, too, but it was missing punch).

He could have done that at home though. No need to scar his students for life. And the other teacher seems to be losing it now, too. Seems as she's seen this happening before, too, according to the library guy. Well, if that was her. Maybe it was a different teacher.

This is actually getting interesting again. I'm disappointed that it's not a ghost story (I don't know why but the mystery is kinda gone. It's just "who is the next to die a brutal death" now) but the suspense is there again. Who will be the extra? I suspect the head of countermeasures or Koichi. It's weird his father remembers him being in that town almost 2 years ago and he himself doesn't. Might be just because of the phenomenon though. I guess that's what they want the viewer to think anyway.

And I honestly feel like he is going to kills his father with the constant questioning.
