GuiltyKing said: Yet another episode that kept me at the edge of my seat; especially during the scene with the tape. Can't wait to listen to the rest of it. Ugh, only three episodes left and it's getting really tense. 5/5 of course Tense indeed! And just when i thought that no one will die in the episode. A whole family died together with that girl's brother. And they are all trying their best to stop the calamity with no actual results but to learn a bit more of the mysteries behind it. I kind of have an idea who the dead one is and i'll see these series through to the end to verify that. |
  |
| Though I wished the dream sequence had been better executed I was kept at the edge of my seat nonetheless the entire second half of the episode. The underlying sense of danger was immense. The whole time I expected something to happen to the two girls and suspected the one girl going home to get knocked over by the digger but against all odds it was actually her brother who kicked the bucket eventually. |

Misuryu said: That rock gave me a fucking heart attack. I knew she'd die (they were driving in the rain, after all), but I just thought they'd be hit by an on-coming truck or something. I was leaned in an inch from the screen, volume up, waiting to see the front of the car that was gonna kill em, when CRASH! "Oh, shit!!" I've gotta stop doing that. xD |
sayami said: Misuryu said: Same here also the lightning strike.That rock gave me a fucking heart attack. I was listening to the episode with stereo closed back headphones, high volume, and it was insane. I nearly went deaf (and heart attack too). Really good episode however. Filled with a bunch of foreshadow and suspense. I knew something would happened before the tape finished, but that dosen't mean I'm not frustrated with it. I hope we'll find out what's on that tape a week from now. Also, show of hands, who thinks something's going to happen to Mochizuki next episode? |
And what if all love is an act of bravery? Could you look me in the eye and say that you are not afraid?  |
| I jumped at the lighting XD |
| so i reeeeeeeally enjoyed this episode! i knew of course we wouldn't get to know the full contents of the tape but as long as things progress swiftly, i'll be okay. q: lots of death, yummy yummy.~ and i jumped when that rock or whatever it was hit the windshield ahahahaha. xD and that sucks to fall down the cliff like that; and be hit by a truck like that. :c GOOOD EPISODE <3 i'd like to see more progress with much more kouchi x mei moments now please. :3 |
| That lightning was a bitch ! Scared the crap out of me ! |
| this is so amazing |
| This episode trolled us in so many ways. First with the Hyped up Dream-Sequence. Secondly with the tape predictably breaking right before the good bit. And does anyone else get terrified when they see a truck drive by the opposite way when you're turning a corner on the side of a mountain. This episode re-awakened that fear for me. Anyway, 5/5. I can feel the climax approaching. |

Well, you missed a few as well and mixed some past incidences into that: 1) Sakuragi Mieko: car accident 2) Sakuragi Yukari: pierced throat 3) Mizuno Sanae: fatal head trauma 4) Takabayashi Ikuo: heart attack 5) Mr. Kubodera's mother: asphyxiation 6) Mr. Kubodera: suicide 7) Nakao Junta: intracranial hemorrhage 8) Komu ?'s brother: crushed by crane 9) Ayano ?: car accident(?) 10) Ayano ?'s father: car accident(?) 11) Ayano ?'s mother: car accident(?) We have yet to learn if the car accident involving the Ayano family was fatal to all of them (though it is likely concerning the height) and we still don't know wether "(0) Fujioka Misaki - death by kidney failure" was part of the calamity or not. The other two people were part of the 1983 calamity...so we at least know 3 names of the 8 people who died that year: Hamaguchi ?: struck by lightning Hoshikawa ?: fatal fall Sakakibara Ritsuko: death due to sickness while in childbed |

You also forgot Yukira's mother which was the reason for Yukira's mishap. Also the The Teach smothered his mother before "Nicole Simpson"-ing himself in front of the class. Since lightning boy and falling off cliff girl were previous year incidents you negate those two. Then you add two for mommy and daddy who both plunged down the cliff with their cursed drama loving daughter. Soooo, The list is up to 11? |
seizonsha said: we still don't know wether "(0) Fujioka Misaki - death by kidney failure" was part of the calamity or not. Tough call. Genetically speaking, first cousins are three degrees of separation apart, and Chibiki said it was limited to two -- so if Fujioka's death was caused by the phenomenon, we're not getting the full story. |
| SO SCARY. Wow. Amazing episode. But I was literally cringing with my ears ready to be plugged shut the whole time xDDD. I was just waiting for a death to happen. We saw like 4 this episode -_-" The girl's brother's death really hit home though, I would be DEVASTATED if something happened to my brother :/ And I also can't wait until we hear the rest of the tape. So interesting!! I was dreading something like what happened. Oh, and I jumped at the lightning. I almost killed myself with the fork I was holding in my hand XD 5/5 |

| CRAZY EPISODE!!!!!!!!!!!!! T_________________T And srsly,, every time I'm watching this show and it gets boring that I feel like falling asleep and dropping it, somthing REALLY interesting happens and I have motivation to watch it xD.. |
SergioSource said: As expected, the idiots break the tape :PP |
| i really dont want any of the 4 characters in this ep to die, i like them all, and kudos to the show for giving us some more mei x sakakibara shipping |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Oh the anti-climax of that audio cassette >.< I wonder why he didn't simple take the recorder with him to the hiding place like any sane person would in a hurry. I mean lift book size object and dash vs turning it off, open hatch, fiddle out cassette and THEN hide -.-'' Although I guess that whole argument is null and void since Naoya didn't do any of those steps, which is rather amazing and not at all like the old cassette players I remember. And even with this seemingly quick user friendly access he still managed to screw up the tape which should be considered a feat in itself^^ But the damage can quickly be repaired with a ballpoint pen and some scotch tape, items that should be readily available at school. Hell most likely even in the room they currently are in. Which means technically they could and "should" have it repaired within minutes and let us listen to the damned thing for the opening in the next episode xD |
| I had the feeling that they won't let us hearing the whole tape ¬3¬ damm it I want to hear the rest of that tape >.< Misuryu said: That rock gave me a fucking heart attack. same here >.< and also on sakakibara dream when the boy killed by the boat appeared from the ceiling x.x Mei is so cute ;o; I hope she is not the "another". I Can't wait for next episode °^° |
 |
| I thought the player would get struckt by lighting before the good part, guess that'd be a bit cheezy. But suddenly a freaking rock hit the car, i shat my pants. |
| レッツゴー ED イケイケゴーゴー |
| Intense episode; that rock and lighting... no especially gruesome scenes but scenes that made me jump in my seat all the same. The idiot breaking the tape was predictable.. why wouldn't he have just taken the whole thing, its not like the guy woulda noticed one piece of missing equipment in a room full of the stuff; it was small enough to carry also. So any bidders? whats the general guess on whose gonna die next? Hakuromatsu said: witchhuntress said: Glass eyes...a mirror of the dead? Ü That would make sense, considering Mei is so confident that both she and Kouichi aren't the Another. Agreed, it seems likely; i'm glad that its likely that neither Kouichi or Mei are the Another because there are so many ways better to play the twist then to say the MC was dead all along... |
 |
| Of course, the tape cut out. The tape always cuts out. Perfectly fine until it gets to the part that matters. I wish they didn't borrow that from all the really bad horror movies that exist. I wish the dream sequence was as glorified and plot-based as the preview led me to believe. I still liked it though, same with the last one. I look forward to more. The deaths made me laugh, as always. :D Neat episode. The dreams further my beliefs that Sakakibara is the dead one. |
   |
| Woww what an episode.. I was really on the edge of my seat when they were listening to the tape.. xD The lightning and rock really shocked me omg.. xD Still I'm happy nothing happened to the "main characters" cause I really like them x_x (You knew Teshigawara would make it out alive XD it would be a wayyy to stupid way to die) But I really think someone "imporant" is going to die next week.. :( I wonder who was laying next to the tree.. |
| God damn, this is what I get for watching a currently airing show. I so desperately wish I could watch the next episode right now... but instead, to ease the pain I will just discuss and ponder. By now I can't help but suspect that the curse may not kill you outside of Yomiyama, but it sure as well will kill you on your way out. Either way, escaping won't be that easy. It seems that the calamity may be a lot stronger than I originally thought. Even if Naoya didn't screw up the tape I'd be surprised if it didn't mysteriously scramble itself so they can't hear the important parts. There was something about this episode that kept me on the edge of my seat and my heart racing as the two deaths got closer. I wonder what they will do with that new bit of information regarding Tatsuji. Was he just "acting"? What would he be fibbing about? Either way, there seems to be a lot of crying and panic in the next episode which could lead to some confessions or just be plain old hysteria. Either way I'm more than eager to find out! |
akutasame94 said: Agreed... I don't know why but I think her eye sees dead one... I have a feeling that somebody told me that,but I can't remember... Damn it must be the curse :P This makes the most sense. She even gave us the hints in the beginning. The glass eye that keeps her safe in the calamity, (It must, considering her confidence and how she tells Kouichi not to worry about her) her relation to the ball jointed dolls, her visit to the morgue... ect. |

Cirris said: The story is kind of getting out of hand. With so many people dieing from the class every year you'd think the curse would be a national phenomena story. That it would be as closely scrutinized by scholar and enthusiasts as the Bermuda Triangle. Is the body count up to 10 now with the actress wannabe family flying off the cliff? They still have like 7 months to go. Yes, the fact that no media seems to dig into a phenomena story like this is beyond me. The curse must have caused at least 200 deaths of students and family members the last 25 years. Looking back at all the deaths until now, they all seem so well timed. Still there is a chance for the incidents to be coincidentally and not necessarily forced by some curse. Some of them are due to stupidity; it was told that the guy last week hit his head before going on the trip, and didn't borther to get it exeminded, which then lead to him drowning when loosing consciousnesses. And the guy in the flashback who held an umbrella during a thunderstorm which is really dangerous. Something that bothered me for a while is the absence of the class rep (?) guy with the glasses. He hasn't been an active character for many episodes now, I wonder where he is??? |

It's just one of the quirks of the genre you have to accept. |
| Lolol, why not just take the cassette player out of the audio room, go back to the art clubroom, and play it then? Silly kids. |

| Mei seemed so sure she won't die and even if everything in the anime is pointing towards her being the dead one, I refuse to believe it! I think it'll be someone we least expect, or maybe not... Just when Another gets extremely predictable it pulls you in a different direction :l Cynderella said: kamikaze_1996 said: fuck that death was just mad, he was sitting on his computer all casually and WHAM! he gets a crane rammed up his ass I suddenly realized my computer desk is positioned right in front of my street facing window on the second floor.

He hasn't been an active character for many episodes now, I wonder where he is??? and there is a reason this isnt media attention, they pretty much went 1 and a half of a decade without any deaths, it would just look like a freak accident ecpecially since all of them die from accidents and many such as the nurse or that girl's brother arent even connected to class 3 so it wouldnt look like they are all happening from just that class, watch the news, 4 freak accidents in 1 month is far from abnormal, actually it is, there are way more than 4 deaths in a month from freak accidents |

You're probably right... This was a good episode, considering we got at least a bit of information out of the tape. Now we know why they went to the shrine, and we got the drama-teacher tidbit. Also, Mei was cute :3 |

| Jesus i don't know why but my heart was racing the whole time i was watching this(music was really getting to me too), and what a shit nightmare that was lol. i had pretty clear feeling one of the girls was gonna die after they started to focus on them i just don't get how the ones brother Died first instead of her? still hoping our core group makes it out of it but that number of people is getting thin :( twintails crying in the preview makes me sad |

The glass eye that keeps her safe in the calamity, (It must, considering her confidence and how she tells Kouichi not to worry about her) her relation to the ball jointed dolls, her visit to the morgue... ect. Rather than seeing, I think it's more appropriate to say she can recognize the dead one because they all could see the dead one as though he/she is alive. Ah...but SEEING would make sense too. After all, she can't see normally through her injured eye, right? So if an injured eye sees something when it shouldn't see anything, it's not a "normal person." However, if she can recognize the dead one, why hadn't she yet?? Could it be that only when going to Yomiyama shrine, will she really be able to distinguish the dead one? Or could she have known already, but she kept on forgetting because of memory alteration? Or could it be...that her eyes become hazy? Or it doesn't work for now? =.= |

"Belief is the death of intelligence." ~Robert Anton Wilson~ |
| This show still blows. It's a rainy day, therefore the car drives at 20> MPH. The car slows down in preparation to make a turn around the mountain, suddenly, flash rockslide. This results in the car accelerating to 30> MPH, which effectively broke the steel guardrails. Logical. Oh right, flash bulldozer to your second story room is cool too. |
 |
| Again we got some stupid deaths this time. Killied by lightning - happens with a probability of 1:12500. You would rather die in a plane accident (btw, plane is one of the safest vehicles out there) than this. Killed by slipping down mountain - ok, that happens, but you must be quite an idiot to let that happen. Killied by bulldozer(?) - Well, somehow it was hilarious^^ About the 'return of the dead': It was very obvious that it was a dream. But still, it was a nice idea. About that cassette: Why take it out? I'd stop the player and take it with me when hiding instead of trying some dumb shit. When he hid the cassette was still in his hand, the player was still on the floor where they had put it and the tape of the cassette hanging between them. Wouldn't somebody get suspicious if the saw the player of the floor? This Teshigawa(?) guy must be really a retard. Or maybe it's just the story, who doesn't want us to listen to the tape to keep the suspense up -_- Well, still, I liked the ep. Mei was very cute again. Liked it, when Kouichi saved her from the glass or when they both hid together when the man came in. I'm eager to see next ep. People crying in the preview, looked interesting ;-) |
