justinas said: Just one question - when did Reiko come back to life and how nobody remembered that she died? o_O That's part of the calamity, no one knows she's the dead, so no one knows about her death. And when she's dead again, people will forget about her. Anyways, I thought the calamity manager was it.. the dead was a bit far-fetched, you'd expect a more.. normal character (a student) |
justinas said: Just one question - when did Reiko come back to life and how nobody remembered that she died? o_O That's what happens when someone becomes the another.. :'] Seems like a lot of people were right about the dead one, I really thought Akazawa was the dead one though xD Still I'm overjoyed that Teshigawara is still alive XDDD he was my favorite character after all :'] Loved the series! |
| This episode made me sure that I truly hate Akazawa. Her death scene was epic xD Didn't expect that Reiko and Mikami was the same person but I think it was a good way to end this great anime. 10/10 |
ichigo03 said: Akazawa dying was NOT sad since she had turned into a crazy bitch, and she had been a huge bitch throughout the series so I really don't care that she died. 100% agree |
| 8/10 or 9/10 overall for this series. Really enjoyed it, but then again I might be jaded by it being the only decent series in a season that was an utter pile of shit with such "fine specimens" as Nisemonogatari, Mirai Nikki and Black Rock Shooter stinking it up. |
| Good start, weak middle, awesome Ep 10-11, weak finale. Disappointed, 5/10. |
| Loved it. Great everything. I don't even need to go into a big speech about how much I loved it. It was just a wonderful experience that I never really have tied with such a short series before. It's sad that it is now over, but all good things must come to an end. |
| Good episode,its over. Great way to end the anime,at first there were some nice death i really lol when that guy survive the chandelier then he run to the door and get own by a pillar....that made me laugh hard!! I knew that was Reiko it was kinda obvious if you look all the clues they give about her,still kinda sad that she die and specially in the hands of Sakakibara. So sad that Izumi died....specially that way,i really like her a lot but she kinda needed to die so MeixSakakibara work without problems,still got teary when she remember about their meeting and when she said "You should have say even that you didnt remember"....goodbye Izumi-chan At the end we got a obvious MeixSakakibara scenes were hearthwarming after so many shit,Mei smile makes everything be ok....going to miss her. They live a disc to tell the next generation about the curse...it will never stop...never. It was a great episode,good characters,the story was good,the music was great and there was many deaths and me being a sucker for terror/mystery genre i must say i enjoy it quite a lot,without a doubt 9/10 for me going to miss my weekly terror...cant wait for next season many mystery animes incoming YA!!!  |
| That was pretty crazy. Thanks to spoilers, I knew who the dead one was. But I didn't know that it was also Reiko so that's pretty crazy. Good series. I enjoyed it, but there were inconsistencies in certain areas. I give it an 8/10 for a great show, but disorganized climax and kind of random dead person. |
whoisfriend said: Cloudy-Sky said: Ugh i really loved it. But it seems i missed something. someone explain me why In that case, Sakakibara must have a evil twin brother. :D |
| Whenever you correct someone's grammar just remember that nobody likes you. |
| dam, that was tense, overall id give this anime a 8.5/10, it kept me interested and it was a nice horror anime, i felt sorry for reiko and akazawa for dying, i never would of thought reiko was another i wonder if they will make a new season with different characters, telling how they dealt with the curse and maybe how to stop the curse once and for all |
 |
| Great last episode. Overall a quite enjoyable anime. |
| It was awesome! Too bad it's over now :( I'll give it 9/10 because it didn't bore me :) |
| One of my friends and I had discussed the possibility of it being Reiko, but had dismissed that as a mere joke. Can't believe it turned out to be her. Great show, so glad I kept watching it while it was running. |
 |
| Interesting show and ending. Hilarious deaths yet again. I'm glad the class leader bitch-girl died. Hated her so much. She even tried to kill Mei because of glasses-girl! And i love how Sakakibara killed his aunt. Twice at that. Dat grin: |

R.I.P ..and yeah dead stayed dead. i kinda hoped that time would reset and all would be alive again only reiko is gone and calamity ends. |

lobkestar said: Can someone give me a big explanation of the whole episode? I want to know if I understood everything. What happened: People still killing each other, Misaki knows that it's Reiko, who by the way, is the same as Ms. Mikami. This correlation was never explained until the flashbacks shown in the episode with the grandparents, reiko herself, and the parrot saying it. Reiko died a year and a half ago in the anime by an unknown assailant, and for the funeral, Sakakibara came over during the time for the funeral, and happened to run into Akazawa, who was grieving over the loss of her cousin at the time. But since Reiko became "Another," Sakakibara lost his memories of his time being there since he attended the funeral, Akazawa, however, did not attend the funeral thus why she remembers meeting Sakakibara. And everyone was happy. |
| It kind of bugs me that this episode they revealed they had the right number of desks for students this year. Misaki says so. Why did no one question this at all? Why was this never brought up before the final episode? Also, kind of disappointed that Reiko was just kind of killed with no discussion. You'd think Sakakibara would have tried to get her to remember or something so she would accept it or something. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted (although spoilers caught me last week-damn!) |
| Too bad it's over now :( I'll give this a 9/10 because it didn't bore me. Is it my pc or does the poll fail? |
Mei waited for so long because she wanted to get rid of the competition. Hence the rape face at the end. "take me, Sakakibara-kun" |
RayanaXx said: I'm guessing it's the only school in town. Why don't they just close the damn school? Someone explain please T_T 8/10 Besides, even if they demolish it and make a new school it will probably end up the same. Remember, the building they're in now is new. The old building where the calamity started is already closed yet it still happens. Changing the class name and whatnot didn't matter either. The calamity is probably connected to the whole town. |

Ksss, i just want ,,Another'' anime like this >.> This is just...  |

| So it was the teacher (aka Reiko). Didn't see it coming, I was more expecting a student. Anyway great serie, I will miss it |
| It was kind of funny when the students were running out of the mansion. That one guy finally got out of the chandelier just to get hit by even something bigger LOl. |

KONmusiclover said: Can I ask a quick question? Why did Sakakibara say "Goodbye Mother" To Reiko? I thought his mother was dead? Kinda confuzzled here XD Reiko looks like his mother. Mei has pointed the similarities out before. Reiko as special to Kouichi means that she was more than his aunt. Everything is always obvious in restrospect, so if not for countless spoilers and deaths that singled out the Another, I doubt anyone would have thought of who it really was. Akazawa died in the novel, and this anime is based on the novel, not the manga. Her death was different, though. I do prefer the manga's drawing, however. Still, overall, the novel is better. |

| there were some differences compared to the manga, but who cares? it was a real pleasure to see it^^ 8/10 |
RayanaXx said: Why don't they just close the damn school? Someone explain please T_T 8/10 IRL japan, this would have ahppened years ago. And even if that's not the case; the massacre would have been ALL OVER THE NEWS. I'm surprised they weren't flocked by reporters and the school definitely would have been shut down. 5/10 Average. |
| No. |
| 10/10 Awesome anime, great story. Kinda sad that Izumi had to die... And lol, Teshigawara isnt a murderer afterall. |
 Doesn't this make you hungry? |
| Same i put 8.5/10 to this anime. It were very misterious till the end. I was suprised for the "ghost" if i can say haha. Anyway, good anime. |
So he killed her both times?   |

Lestrade said: And I thought it was Akazawa all along... Oh well, it would have been a bit awkward if Mikami were killed by a dust mop last episode. And as expected the reason for Kazami to go berserk was because of Sakuragi. His absence in the second half of the show hinted at his grugde he held for our protagonists. Overall, a good episode to conclude this series and I felt the directior put more effort in this episode than usual especially regarding the scene before Reiko's death. I somehow suspected Reiko to be the extra since various people felt the need to mention that the manga made clear that Mikami and Reiko were the same person. However, it still came off as a surprise to me as this anime is adapted from the novel and therefore I thought it differed from the manga in some points particularly in this aspect. Yeah this is totally adapted in the Novel coz in manga Akazawa didn't die, only injured and his hair got burnt and need to cut it short. |

MelbShaw said: I admit, I rofl'd pretty hard seeing that.It was kind of funny when the students were running out of the mansion. That one guy finally got out of the chandelier just to get hit by even something bigger LOl. So close, yet so far for that kid. |
|
| Why did they ruin such a nice atmosphere that was present in the first few episodes? Why switch from actual horror to plain gore? Also, this episode wasn't much better in terms of common sense than the previous ones - the whole hotel is about to collapse (wait, why hasn't it yet?) and Sakakibara just walks in, get's hit by a burning plank and calmly walks on. I have to admit that even though I didn't really like Mei (apart from the first few episodes, when she was very mysterious), without the eyepatch she looked really cute! Like a change of personalities xD As for the ending - it was predictable and logical, but I would have wanted it to be a questionable ending. The atmosphere became way too happy in the end for Another. Btw, how did Mei still remember Reiko if she wasn't the one that killed her? And lastly, poor Akazawa =( |
Digglett said: Yvese said: sakakibara. It was just someone that looked like him. I'm pretty sure it was Sakaki. No, he wasn't the one who killed Reiko, just look alike. Sakakibara only came to Yomiyama for her funeral 1.5 years ago but it is altered and he does not remember because of the curse. |

| Whenever you correct someone's grammar just remember that nobody likes you. |
| I didn't like how over the top some of the deaths were, particularly in the last episodes. I thought this anime was at its best when it did things in a more restrained fashion. Still probably the best thing this season. I'd love to give it a rewatch knowing what I know now. Somehow the whole Reiko/Mikami thing confuses me. |

| Suspension of Disbelief: The Anime. 4/10. Sort of deserves even lower, but it was at least entertaining crap. |
 |
| Yeah, EPIC ENDING!! |
