| Damn Mei was too cute x) |
| I think someone out of us going to experience heart attack,if we keep on watching this show.. |
 |
About the various deaths in this episode, a little list and explanations of what I think of them and to clear some things up perhaps? Ayano and her friend’s brother death. I think those are the most important ones but they are at most mundane TBH. Mundane as in self explanatory paranormally.

| That goddamn rock made me flinch. Intense episode. Was pretty much at the edge of my seat the entire time. Constantly looking at everything around them and thinking that it could kill them at any moment. Love this anime. |

| Funny thing is i went to the same school as this one guy that got struck by lightning. He lived though. bottosai-01 said: My question is why did they bother hiding in the first place? Students: "Sorry teacher we had to borrow this cassette tape player to poetentialy save the lives of everyone remaining in our class and their relatives, including ourselves".... Like honestly what was the worst that could happen? They get a detention maybe? Whats more important avoiding a detention or saving the lives of your peers and everyone closely related to them? It was literally a life or death situation for everyone(frikin four people) in that room (cept the teacher) and not even one person thought about this? I know theres only 3 eps and they want to keep the suspense and mystery (which kinda died in the last ep) but do it in a way that doesn't make the main characters look like frikin idiots. I think it had more to do with keeping it a secret than anything else. They didnt want people to know about the plan. |
| i don't know if i've ever been so damn scared by an anime, or almost anything, ever...when the lightening strike hit the boy, the whole scene in old classroom three, all the other deaths - i think i literally jumped out of my skin about five times! the sound effects and the quality of them on this show is just phenomenal - try watching this episode in particular in the middle of the night, really loud, on headphones, with the lights off - you'll see what i mean!!! once again, best anime of the season!!! |

octal9 said: the sound effects and the quality of them on this show is just phenomenal I completely agree! |
| As soon as... Ayano? said sayōnara, welp, she's dead. Man I hate driving on roads like that, I freak out enough as it is. If that ever happened to me I would totally drive off the road and die too. Ahhhhh. Although, driving with passengers, my natural response would be to steer to the right rather than the left. I suppose it was quite a long sharp turn though. Maaaan who doesn't know hoe to use a tape player. How even. I finally caught up, and watched the past 7 eps this weekend and now I have to wait to hear the tape? Which'll probably just end up being that you have to kill the extra? Wwaaaah. |
 |
| When they ask the two girls whether they'd join them... I was saying to my screen while shaking my head "no, no, no, no, no, go home, stay safe" Girls "We won't" Me "Phew... Good girls" Later... saw the crane... Me "Oh... Sh*t" T_T Fucking idiot broke the tape. Misaki is cute. Sakakibara remain... neutral. |

scrotey said: I doubt it's just that, he was describing and listing people who died that day in what appears to be a pretty big toll. My guess is that one of the dead is the Another hence it would be "too easy" if they had revealed it already.As soon as... Ayano? said sayōnara, welp, she's dead.

Which'll probably just end up being that you have to kill the extra? Wwaaaah. As for why they hid, none of the Faculty body wants to admit to the curse (besides the ones directly involved like the teachers of Class 3) and they're freaked out enough about anything that might trigger further deaths that they might believe further investigation of the Another and the curse to be just provocation for further deaths (and considering two people died exactly as they were looking for the tape, I wouldn't blame them for thinking that way). It seems from this episode and the preview of next episode Kouichi and Mei are once again being blackmarked by most of the class (barring the two who are currently helping them investigate, since those two seem to be nice guys). As for the one who expressed disbelief at the lack of public attention to a curse that kills so many, do remember there's a few factors. They live in a small borderline rural town where authorities can far more easily withhold information from more "global coverage" (the town seems to gossip about it but they don't disclose it to non-locals), the deaths actually happen months apart (so far there's been only about 2 death per month, besides the 3 this time if the death from episode 8 happened only a week or so from the 2 at the end of 9), they have varying causes and for the most part none of them appear to be related (heart attack, delayed death from head trauma, car accidents), let alone the fact that a good number of them weren't even students of Class 3, just relatives. Is it just really incompetent of the press to not investigate about it further? Yeah. But Mystery/Horror stories don't tend to be THAT realistic, especially those that deal with deaths linked only by a curse. |

| I had a feeling those two girl are next!! |
 |
| What would i do to put myself into that anime. >>>>>>>>>> Ep 12 - Finale <<<<<<< Most are dead only dark chick, defence leader, active guy, main guy are alive. Anyways ep 12...

| Wow the deaths this week, being crushed by a bulldozer and that rock, THAT FREAKING ROCK; almost made me fall off my chair LOL Pretty nice episode and the bgm is amazing as always. I really hope both Tesshi and Mochizuki as well as Akazawa live through this, I really like those 3 DX So Sakaki found the all important tape but was ruined by Tesshi, lol never pull a tape like that >_>; The flashback was pretty interesting though, two deaths in a row and one of them lightning strike O_O maybe this is related to the current time since that girl who moved out and the other girl's brother were both killed (assuming she's dead) in a row Man I was actually hoping for some supernatural stuff on the previous victims coming back to life based on last week's preview. But that dream sequence was enough to scare the heck out of me, I gotta stop watching this anime at night .__.; |
xMusicMohawk said: ExplodingLemons said: Anyone else think that to stop the curse you have to murder someone? This someone may have to be the dead person..... Same here, I'm thinking they need to get "rid" of the another, but they will most likely troll us all >.< That's what I've been thinking for afew episodes now, and I think the "sin" mentioned on the tape almost confirms it (ie his sin was killing said "another") Also add me to the list of people trolled by the rock lol.. 5/5 |
| <img src="http://i43.tinypic.com/b8l5af.jpg" /> |
| Man. We all got trolled yet again! I had my doubts about the tape. I had a feeling something was going to happen right when they got to the most important part... it almost seemed, for a moment, that the crane was going to crash into the recording room and take someone out. Just a thought, but since the tape was snagged right when it was playing the most important part, wouldn't that part be destroyed? At best, it would have stretched so it would be impossible to fix. I wonder what those two girls were up to. It looks like they knew something. ymeza21 said: Great episode! Was anticipating what the tape was going to say >.<!! Now I am afraid that a claw truck is going to smash into my house and brutally crush me to death while I am playing video games OnO Playing eroge while masturbating no less. What would the people analyzing the crime scene have thought? |

| When I saw the car scene, I thought for sure they were going to die by a car crash, but after I saw the van pass by, I am reminded of my friend's essay "The reason the car went out of control was because of the slippery ground", didn't think there would be a "crack" though. |

I've already said it a couple of times, but I really, really think the phenomenon was responsible for Teshigawara's mental lapse. |
| He really is an idiot for ruining the tape now they have to wait until its fixed. Ah i remember the days when i fixed my tape it was a dmx a tape that i played over and over until it burst in my cassette player lmao. Those was fun times fun times indeed. |
 |
| Holy sh*t!!! The deaths( I didn't expect the lighting accident to be so intense - girl falling from the mountain O_O - rock falling in the car that gave me a heart attack - the girl's brother). Kouichi stop having those nightmares...They freak me out O_o Also, why??? the tape....We could have known everything :( I can't wait for the next episode, or to be more presice for the 3 final episodes! |
| This episode was quite cool. I liked a lot the part where they were hearing the tape, even if I knew for sure it would either 'end the episode' right before the interesting part started, or that something was going to happen. Died hit by lightning, that shit was freaking awesome. Then the girl feel from the mountain, the car was hit by a rock (am I the only one that wasn't startled by it?) and the bulldozer crushed that girl's brother. Amazing. As for what they did in the past... He told that he has done a sin. It must involve killing someone for sure, or at least something very similar to it. Whatever he's done, I don't know why he should make such a big deal out of it, if he killed/whatever'ed the "right" one. I'm still confused about who's the extra one... I still feel like it's Naoya, as if it's Mei or Kouichi would be so predictible it isn't even fun to think about it. Still, there is the mistery about how everyone feels like they've already met Kouichi in the past. It could be that he once lived there for a while then died somehow, now he's came back and everyone's memory of him got "reset" so he wouldn't be found out at the beginning, but Izumi is still able to remember scraps of info about him. |

I just didn't get how they drove off a cliff though lol. its actually quite common that when this happens to people driving on these types of roads that they wouldnt survive, its sad and scary, thats why people tend to avoid these roads |

| Matsunaga's "sin" might not be just as simple as "killing the Another." He might have "pushed random classmates" over the mountain cliffs, for all we know. After all, he doesn't have the recognizing-dead-people ability. The fact that he was stalling in the tape shows that he was out of it. He killed someone in order "to save everyone." He's just a middle schooler, and it's quite a great shock for a probably non-violent person. It's human tendency to babble or avert to other things before claiming one's fault. What he might have wanted to achieve by storytelling about their mountain trip also was defend himself from blame of everyone in his class and to the future students of third class who would have to choose among themselves whom would kill the Another. Because in order to stop the calamity, someone must stand up and carry a big and sinful burden. In a way, the memory alteration is a good thing. Just because one might be antipathic, doesn't mean he doesn't see more hideous monsters. |

| Few more deaths. Aya's (the girl with short hair is caalled Aya, right?) death wasn't a surprise. She had many death flags raised during the whole episode. Her friend's family came as bigger surprise. I thought it was going to be the girl, who will die but her brother works as well since she's in class 3. Cristu said: Why did the nurse die? She's not even related to the class. Her brother is in class 3. Family members are at risk as well, remember? Asfor Misaki in morgue it could be that she was going to say goodbey to her cousin Misaki Fujioka, who looked a lot like Mei but was more cheerful (as seen in OVA preview). I'm not 100% sure about this, but it's possible. |
| Hmm this was a good episode (but then again I've thought that every episode of this show has been good so far...) I liked the flashback to 15 years ago while Sakakibara and the group were listening to the tape, that was nicely done. I thought it was a bit tacky, though, how someone decides to come into the room JUST AS they are about to hear the important part. Sigh. I wrote a whole review for this episode on my blog ^.^ |
Misuryu said: That rock gave me a fucking heart attack. This lol Really good episode, I was glued the entire time the tape was playing. The other scenes before that, I didn't really care about. Who was that guy that got bulldozed? |
| Now I'm confused. So calamity works only in Yomiyama or not? Kouichi is having really creepy dreams and Yukari was the best. Short-haired girl acted weird as if she perceived her own death since we first saw her at the school entrance and I knew that she will be the next victim but I thought that that truck will hit her family's car so falling out of the road was surprising. And that stupid Naoya! Doesn't he know how to handle cassette tape?! |
 |
Aoi_Bara said: yes it is, it caused the kid from last ep to die and while he survived till he left, what caused his death was still from yoriyamaNow I'm confused. So calamity works only in Yomiyama or not? and they didnt let the other girl and her family leave if your in yoriyama and related to class 3, your fucked |

DJIzzyIzzyHitler said: Yeah, that was quite the troll. They made us think they could die outside the town but he actually died because of something that happened in the town. In other words, he was already dying through the whole day.Aoi_Bara said: yes it is, it caused the kid from last ep to die and while he survived till he left, what caused his death was still from yoriyamaNow I'm confused.

| Not enough Akazawa this week. I just wonder who will be the next one to die... They did play with our minds, though. We thought at some point that that girl would be the one to die, but it was actually her brother. Very well played. |
| Those two drama club girls are really cute, especially the redhead, but personality-wise, the short-haired girl is my favorite in a whole class. I was so relieved when the short-haired girl, saved by Sakakibara in a glass incident, in episode 4 or 5, but why... oh why... such a nice girl like her need to die too... :( Thank god the redhead drama girl still alive, i hope she gets a more important role after this.. and yay the cutest boy in class (the nurse's brother), finally in the opening, but is that mean he'll die soon? NO!!!! |
| Great episode!!!!!!! creepy as hell!! and anyway I believe that all characters except Misaki and Sakakibara, from the ending that they appear, will die somehow when the anime finish -.- but this is just my theory, I don't know what will happen at the end and I'm curious to seexD 5/5 |
My friend code: 0688 - 6300 - 6898 |
| Gets more and more crazy. Awesome atmosphere. Yeah, I kind of agree with Kaito - that's probably what's going to happend. But I hope that this anime will suprise me ; ) |
| Very intense episode. I was literally at the edge of my seat throughout the whole episode. I like how things are coming together yet they are unable to figure out a solution. It has been great so far. |

Cristu said: Why did the nurse die? She's not even related to the class. And just before she was going to speak about Mei. Coincidence? Maybe, but the odds... Elevator is the safest transport and in the precise timing. Also the other guy died just like that by trying to explain things about Mei. There's gotta be something involving her. Her name "Misaki" and her visit to hospital's morgue... What was that about? Also she's the one related to dolls, she resembles death and her behavior is so suspect... it's like she's always hiding something. But things never are what they look like... Maybe it's original for things to be what it looks? I don't know!! Also I don't belive in the memory stuff. I think it's being manipulated by people who are alive. The principal is new, isnt that weird? The nurse had a brother in class 3..She is related. |
i love tirru ♡ |
| heheh so good! i cant wait to see if they stop it |

Calvinism said: And stop relating it to Mei already, this was cleared up several times by now, Misaki Mei is not related to the Misaki that began the curse. The Misaki in Mei's name is her family name while the Misaki that died was named Misaki, it was not his family name.Cristu said: Why did the nurse die? She's not even related to the class.

| And many more get the buttsecks |

| Dang the car part made me jump I was expecting them to get hit by a truck. Then bang a rock fell on the car instead. Dx I wonder what the important part is? |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| I get the same feeling when they were playing tape with Corpse Party. |

| Just a thought but, isn't it possible that not all the deaths were caused by the phenomenon? For all we know, there might be some psycho running around killing people. |
| I flipped out...twice! |
