| 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: |

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. |

| 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!! |

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 Because his mother was already dead when he was born so Reiko wanted to take care of Sakakibara being his 2nd mother and Reiko and Ritsuko is almost look-alike, its explained in manga. |
|
| 7/10 Not really memorable. Nice ending though. |

| Reiko looked like Kouichi's mother, so he'd said that in the end. She was special to him because of that. I never expected that everything will be answered because not all mysteries are really answered in reality. Everything will always be obvious in retrospect especially when there are countless spoilers of the manga and novel swimming about everywhere, and the deaths in the story singled out the Another. True to Sakakibara's name (the real life teenage convinct, Keito Sakakibara(?)=an alias), Kouichi may have killed his aunt. Quite a change from his goody goody behavior, right? |
"Belief is the death of intelligence." ~Robert Anton Wilson~ |
| Please correct me if I am wrong. In one of the ep, the teacher said that the "another" must be someone who die from the calamity, correct? Reiko didn't die from the calamity but Sakakibara's mother did when Raiko was in 3-3 back in 1972.... Consider that they look very similar and Sakakibara said "Goodbye Reiko, Goodbye mother"... |
| My question is how come no one goes to jail. Half of the deaths can't be called self defense >> |

| Great ending. 5/5 |
 |
| EPIC episode! Chibiki-sensei pretty much owned the first part of the episode. What a badass! Oh, and seeing Mei smiling at the end melted my heart! <3 LOVE YOU MEI-CHAN! 9/10 |

| explosions and shit. 6.5/10 |
     |
| So Reiko and Mikami where the another D: I never have imagined that, I thought it would be a student... It was kind of confusing but anyway xD Akazawa got what she deserved for trying to kill Misaki and sakakibara >:c (I wanted them to end as a couple but -3-) 9/10 to me :) |

Reiko did die in the calamity, she was part of Class 3-3 2 years ago and also the records of Chibiki-sensei had is that there's a blank on the class sheet of 1996 and it was said that it is Reiko Mikami the teacher of Class 3-3 in 1996. It was altered/erased because of the curse that started on April of 1998 the class of Sakakibara. |

| I somehow had a hunch that Ms.Mikami and Reiko is a single person. But I cannot believe that she is the extra person! It also works on the faculty room! SO teachers are also a part of this. And Reiko is an alumni of the class. The one who killed Reiko in the flashback looks like Sakakibara. Who the heck killed Reiko?! I feel sorry for Akazawa, I really liked her. It would have been fine if she got together with Sakakibara. But Mei is still the best. This anime is good, my predictions of who is "Another" failed. It is actually Ms.Mikami! For being unpredictable until the end, I give this a 10/10! Goodbye to a really good horror series. |
