| I definitely saw a death coming. . . but this one is quite shocking. So apparently they're not safe anywhere? |
| poor guy is gonna have to wash his boat. |
 |
| oh come on now, they left the town!! And besides didn't anyone else think shark attack? Come on, anyone? The boat just wasn't as effective. |
 |
| Cause of death: Trying to get back the beach ball LMAO I'm glad the hot guy didn't die. I was kind of nervous when he went in the water to go save the guy who died. |
| Another one's..... My condolences. God will be with you, he'll take care of you my friend. |

| "yeah i know we're all in danger of a curse that is killing people randomly but i'm gonna swim out half a mile into the ocean and grab that beach ball real quick brb" |
| I knew that something would happen, despite the fanservice ! |
 |
| One of the more impressive episodes I've seen in a while. Another is shaping up to be quite the powerhouse.. Awesome Art/Animation this episode, the colors and atmosphere were really vibrant and life like. Definitely one of the best beach episodes i have seen. The fanservice was on point as well (seems a bit odd that the girls are so well developed as 9th graders, even most high school anime girls don't look half as mature). The romantic undertones were subtle but well done with the numerous possible ships. The Hero Matsunaga was cool, but the memory tampering has seemingly prevented him from disclosing what he figured out that would be useful for this years class. That was a long delayed death scene, where you can only shake your head in resignation to the inevitable death.. Easy 5/5 episode, the show overall has my top spot in the thriller/horror department, leaving Higurashi in the dust (if Monster is in the running then perhaps that changes things). |

| These kids cant get a break, they were having a nice day then bam someone dies. that death was really messed up. |
 |
| The watermelon thing was a nice tease. The episode was so light hearted and fun up until the very end... didn't see that one coming. What could that guy have left?!? |
| Nice Boat. But the watermelons were better. |
 |
| No one talking about the Akazawa x kouichi moment in the car???? I mean she literally rejected that other dude in the car to go be with kouichi, and then asked him what he thought of her. OTP confirmed. Also akazawa > mei. The actual episode was ok. Felt a bit slow but at least the fan service was in check. My best guess is that the extra one is They all seem a bit off. |
MsChii said: [color=#00A693] Another died.[/color] I think I just understood the title of this show. This was a pretty fun and relaxing episode, but it was far too obvious someone was gonna die. Akazawa is hot and Mei is adorable. <3 |

wheresthehandle said: hahahah, yep xĐ but it was a nice death and it served a purpose. R.I.P.Lol I don't even know who that kid was who died. |
 |
| I knew that someone would die this episode. Them being safe outside of the town turned out to be a load of bull, as I thought it would. Sadly we didn't get a shark death though :(. I'm also surprised the glasses kid didn't go with them, he seemed like he'd be a lot more involved in this. |
 |
| Well I liked this ep. But I have to say since I read the anime, that it was a pure fan service. Non of this is anime related. Kind of sad tbh. Even If I like the anime more then the manga. |
 |
| I can't believe this show straight out did an actual beach episode. It was kind of fun though, and at least someone died. |
| "This is a brilliant idea." |
| watermelon troll was good wouldve been my fav ep if that ending didnt happen though... o well moving on |
  |
| Knowing the curse exists, why did he go for the ball? |
| lol, at that death that came out of nowhere. Who was that guy anyway? |
 |
| I don't know what to think about this episode. I'll be honest, the first half bored me a bit, I don't like beach episodes in general and it just felt unnecessary. I know the kids needed to relax a bit, but frankly, I don't care very much for the most of them as they're not entertaining enough on their own. Hell, I only remember names of Akazawa (who is slowly becoming my favorite character), Sakakibara and Misaki. The death etc. was interesting and it came off as a surprise, but still, it doesn't change the fact that the first half bored me. It could have been written better, I guess. Oh well, the next episode is looks mighty fine. |
| I enjoyed this ep. Mei looks so cute in her swimsuit.  |
| I don't really understand why that guy died even though they were outside the village?... was it an accident after all? |
 |
| Byebye guy I don't even remember. |
 |
| Episode 08 - Hair Stand: The beginning was something, and we get some fan service, Teshigawara seems to like Akazawa and Akazawa have some interest in Kouichi (she wanted to have Kouichi ride hers cars with her, but then she rides Kouichi car with him). The hint is in the classroom, Nakao death was in the beach outside Yomiyama (so if the curse exist, it can happen anywhere). Why do not they close the school better, or at least class 3? Why the students do not change schools? Families are not worried about them? They have not even asked questions about the recents deaths? have happened five deaths (Sakuragi, her mom, the nurse, Nakao, the boy with a heart condition) 3 students from a single class !! and seems like the families are not really that worried...why? And now they probably are gonna blame Kouichi, when is the school that must respond, or even the authorities, but when they are? 4/5 |

| ....Okai, this sh--crap was already boring af, then they decide to insert a beach episode? Like really? I don't care if they were taking this show seriously, or trying to make a purposely bad horror parody, but this is just awful. Gonna fastforward the rest or just drop it now. -_- |
 |
| The curse made people retarded and mad it seem. Holy fuck I guess there no escaping from it after all. If it was this easy, everyone would had done so. |
| That scene at the end tho... |
 “Even if the attention isn’t forever, I’ll keep singing.” |
| Already knew that splatter was gon be a watermelon lolol. You can't fool me, Another!!!!! XD Ugh, isn't it obvious you SHOULDN'T go after the beach ball? Just buy another one, geez. You deserve to die if you fall for that obvious trap!!!!! D;> |
| The episode started out and after the truck maneuver it looked like they were safe. Especially with the melon before the opening. Turns out they weren't. Why even try to get that ball back. I mean, sure, they thought they were safe but that was kinda risky even under regular conditions. I'm really wondering what the guy left in the classroom. Can't be a paper or anything because there is no way that is still there. But what could it be that would be still there? Gdj_24 said: First: Why the hell did that kid swim out to sea that far to get a $2.00 beach ball. The logic behind that decision baffles me. so true. The moment he ran into the water it was obvious he'd die :O Just leave the damn ball. |

| As some one who watches high school slice-of-life almost exclusively, I really needed this |
| I had a feeling someone would die. They kept saying that outside of the town the curse would not work and it felt like they needed a new twist for the show. As soon as they went outside of town, I had a feeling someone would die to get that "Holy shit, no way" type of reaction. Next episode looks fantastic |
 |
| I hate Izumi for being a whiny bitch this episode. She wants to screw Sakakibara just like how Sakakibara wants to screw with Mei. Also, she has been very cruel to blonde guy. And ANOTHER one bites the dust. Seriously, he just screwed with his friends and went to get such a far shot ball. I dunno how he died before that boat hit him. Before I proceed any further.  And none of the other ones try to call him back. They just stand there, hoping for something bad to happen. The rest of the episode is just blatant fan service, talking about reaching 30 and improving figures. |
 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. |
| I guess we should have seen it coming that Nakao would die. (Was that his name? Nakao?) A nobody whom many of us don't remember ever having seen before joins the trip, hangs out in the background, gets a minimum of characterization... I guess in hindsight he is an obvious redshirt - cannon fodder, brought along just so he can die. I liked the shot where Sakakibara was shaking water out of his ear after coming ashore - that was a funny little detail. :D paraboxes said: No one talking about the Akazawa x kouichi moment in the car???? I mean she literally rejected that other dude in the car to go be with kouichi, and then asked him what he thought of her. I loved the car scene. Akazawa tried to get validation from Sakakibara. Sakakibara teased her and didn't give in to her attempts at bullying. :D |
| Why the fuck did they need a beach scene? And what is at the classroom? |
| moment he swam out to get a $1 beach ball screamed death for him. well looks like the curse is even outside of yomiyama |
| Haha this shows must be a weird one to had a beach episode for a horror genre. Their whole theory was incorrect it seems. As I expected when someone reveal something new, someone is going to die. At least that's my current theory. |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| I think something is under the bench anyway nice fanservice episode :D and I am shocked that someone died... why? |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| This was no boating accident!!! Oops, wrong show. |
| I always lose at disc golf. I keep throwing the game. |
| I thought this was just gonna be a filler episode but nope gotta end a good heart warming episode with some gore! Looking forward to the next episode! |
 |
| I'm so glad that it wasn't a typical beach episode! But first of all - everyone thought it was a watermenlon in the beginning right? xD ------- I love when anime porgresses in a filler-type scenarios.. It's a kind of meta troll for the viewers :P I appreciate that the overall tone haven't changed. Cause that would be a disaster. And it wasn't! Yay!! The melancholic background at every ''beach fun'' scene is showing the fear and grief that burden characters trying to distract themselves and live a happy life at least for one day. A terrifying thing happened. A curse worked even beyond Yomiyama. Guys thought that they're not in danger as they're out of Yomiyama at the moment. Welp that's weird but more interesting otherwise all the students and their families would be able to stop the curse right away by simply moving to other places. .... and the death. That guy had the worst idea EVER! Not feeling well all day and suddenly deciding to go far away in the sea. Genius! Other dead people had more common sense, smh. And why Katsumi left the hint in the class? pretty convenient for the plot haha :D |
