| Only three episodes left? Such a pity, I really enjoy this show. I was expecting something to happen during the driving scene, but the rock still scared me. I was hoping they would actually hear the content of the tape and the episode would stay away from the clichéd way, but I guess it was too much to ask. Loving Mei more and more every episode. 4/5. |
| That guy getting hit by lightning. "Kirin, Begone with the Thunderclap" |
| One does not simply eject the tape while it's still playing!! Just when the most important thing is finally revealed the tape gets broken. Can't wait for the next episode nonetheless. |
| Awesome ep. |

| Ugh!! If only he hadn't pulled on the tape it wouldn't have torn, I am dieing to know what happens next! Mei is so cute though, especially when she's looking at the boys all knowingly when they try to keep her in the dark to protect her. |
| Am I the only one who thinks Mochi kid is gonna get killed before the tape can be fixed and then they're forever doomed not to know the rest of its contents? Cause I have a sinking feeling that will happen -_- It will irritate the shit out of me! Next week looks intense! That rock gave me a fucking heart attack to!

Dx It's the second time in two episodes we've been trolled by a truck... Rule of threes! I THINK if the truck appears again it's gonna kill someone that time! Well I hope it doesn't atleast... |
| awesome episode lots of stuff happened hopefully they can get that tape fixed |
Bird_Eater said: Sorry, but I can't see how this is a good horror anime. Because it's a better mystery anime than horror anime. I'm pretty sure a lot of us would have dropped it if it weren't for the intrigue of the phenomenon; I highly doubt anyone's really here for just the Final Destination-style deaths. |
Hakuromatsu said: This. Viewers aren't watching because people die but because they want to know why they are dying.And curses tend to be unrealistic because they are unrealistic. A little suspension of disbelief is already necessary to believe in a curse.Bird_Eater said: Sorry, but I can't see how this is a good horror anime.

TheGrey said: 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. It can't be like that, even though that old timer looks suspicious. Most deaths are accidents or heart attacks. Unless he actually gave that guy wrong medication and lowered the hand brake secretly in this episode. It's 100% supernatural. And the only way to stop it is to kill the extra person. It was obvious that that tape guy killed someone, and that it probably stopped to curse. Thus, killing the extra is another way of stopping it, or maybe dooming them eternally to wander as extras. |

That's pretty much why I'm still watching and completely interesting in this series. I want to see how they get this whole curse deal sorted out, if at all, and get all of the clues about the curse put together. |

| damn it, Y U NO handle that precious tape with care !ლ(°Д°ლ) i want to hear the rest of the tape ಥ_ಥ |
rechajulay said: damn it, Y U NO handle that precious tape with care !ლ(°Д°ლ) i want to hear the rest of the tape ಥ_ಥ That one kid said he can fix it. I'm really hoping he does next episode u.u |
| 3/5 didnt like this one so much |
| AGH! Show trolled me again! Should've known that tape wasn't gonna reveal the important information and then Naoya broke it! Though makes me wonder. How do we know Naoya didn't do it on purpose, and he's the extra one? I know the dead person is not meant to know they're dead, but maybe he subconsciously knows and the curse is using him as a puppet to sabotage things? |
 |
| Enjoyed that very much. For me this was the first episode i felt that they built up suspense very well. Where as in previous episodes i've always been like "well here it comes" when shit was about to go down, here the lightning strike, the rock smashing into the windshield and to a smaller extent them looking for and listening to the tape were executed very well. My only criticism would be them hiding frantically because a teacher was approaching. All things considering i thought that was quite dumb. |
 |
| Wow, such a great episode! I'd say the best so far. One little thing that annoyed me was the predictable accident of the tape being ruined just as it was getting into the most important part. But hey, hopefully it can be fixed. |
| The brother's death wasn't funny at all... no, I'm not saying that the deaths til now were funny, but this one just scare the hell out of me. The lightning was so loud... this anime by far is the only one using audio to appeal mystery to audience. Ever since the first episode. Now this makes four deaths in the month...or was it five? |

| Nice episode. Have to say though that why would anyone be scared by a teacher telling you off, when people you know are dying left and right? |

| I am actually very interested in seeing the detail on fixing the tape that has turn into scrambled seaweed . petalshreds said: because you were doing the same thing like him ,watching video in a room in front of a computer.The brother's death wasn't funny at all... no, I'm not saying that the deaths til now were funny, but this one just scare the hell out of me. My house live near by the MAIN road .There might be a chance that a drunked driver driving a 30ton trailer smash in to into to my toilet while I am in it... |
| I think possibly it could be or clues that it could be another class mate cause. It being Mei is to easy it might be the jock since he accidentaly broke the tape and no one has touched him once. But it could be Misaki. But the only problem is that Misaki almost became a victim. Cause the window glass shattered when she tried to open the window. So that means it may not be Misaki. |

| Liked the flashback about 1983(?), I hope they'll solve the mystery and I'm looking forward to some more deaths. |

 |
| Another nice episode. :-p This show has such a relaxing atmosphere for being a horror, and I think I love Misaki. |

| So THATS why my mom won't let me have a computer in my room! |

I know the dead person is not meant to know they're dead, but maybe he subconsciously knows and the curse is using him as a puppet to sabotage things? Maybe, but don't forget about Akazawa... She's the guilty one for the events to be happening. And she didn't even take responsability. If your sub subconsciously theory were right, she would be the one. No one has theories about the blue haired student? Why did they changed the class rep? I think possibly it could be or clues that it could be another class mate cause.

| What a thriller. Two people died this time. |

| Another = Final Destination: The Animation |
  |
| Or can pretending one student is still alive when dead bring about that kind of calamity I wonder; this anime as the feeling of Final Destination, "there is no escape from death" |
| So has anyone else noticed that in the opening has been changing in some episodes? In the parts with the characters flashing by, the ones that have died are getting replaced with another character. Anyway, this episode was okay but that rock though. |

petalshreds said: AH that's true, although we didn't get a cue whether they all died or not since people "can" survive a crash, even from that high up. But yeah, totally forgot them in my count.Leon-Gun said: petalshreds said: Just 3, the kid that went for the summer trip with them and this two now.

And someone mentioned something which is quite interesting, Misaki actually almost got herself injured twice in this episode (the window glass and the locker). People keep harping about not believing her because of the poker face she always has on but I think it's simple to see she just has that kind of personality. |

| I've re-watched the first episode and it all makes a lot more sense now. And in the very first scene there are very brief images that now give me a clue of 'who' it is. But who knows if it's a real clue or a misdirection on the part of the director. |

| Well, this episode was interesting. More reads and an explanation that what happened in the past |
Cristu said: If she knew wouldnt the curse just end? The whole point of the curse being active is that dead people stumble upon the class unknowingly. The curse basically prevents said person from knowing, to the point their memories warp.Marzan said: I've re-watched the first episode and it all makes a lot more sense now. And in the very first scene there are very brief images that now give me a clue of 'who' it is. But who knows if it's a real clue or a misdirection on the part of the director. Judging by the opening (inside her green eye a creepy image with only the eye she doesnt have) and music "there is a second me", I think the extra is Misaki's doll's half.. Maybe Misaki as a whole.. She said she almost died when she lost her eye... Then the eye came "empty eyes in the dark" her doll eye took her life to fill its empty or maybe merged with it. That's the only reasonable theory I have so far. In that case, I think she knows she's the dead one. She always looks as if she's at fault when someone dies. She looks to the side.. I think she's in love with Sakakibara and that's what prevents her from doing anything. I think she found out she was dead and decided to suicide, but then he appeared and filled the empty in her heart for the first time... |
|
| Of course, he had to mess up the tape just when the important part was coming up... I don't know why, but I have a feeling the kid who is going to try and fix it, will be the next one to die. |
