| Solid horror anime. The only problem I had was how silly the violence got near the end, and how improbably the two leads kept avoiding death. 8/10 |
 |
| I LOL'd at the part where the guy got out from under the chandelier and then ALMOST got away and a giant wooden pole just pancaked him. hahaha. Wait, does that make me weird and creepy? I like this anime, I'm not usually into horror anime but I can admit that this is a good anime in the horror genre. I hear there is a 2015 coming out soon, maybe? I don't know what in the world they would put in the season 2, maybe the calamity hasn't stopped? But if season 2 comes out I'd be glad to see some romance between Mei and Kouichi! 8/10 anime |

| I've been plottwisted! I felt they could have took this show so many directions, but I think they made the right choice; it was so fun to watch After they did the flashbacks I felt dumb for not catching she was the teacher. I was thinking it was the countermeasure girl for the last few episodes, I'm glad she died though. Grey haired librarian "This is not normal",,lol:P Loved this series overall, kept me hooked. |

| Holy crap Mikami and Reiko were the same person, never saw that coming. Then after she was assaulted I thought she was already dead. If a sequel series is made, maybe next time they actually break the curse. Either way that is one hell of a curse when it alters memories like that. Pleasently surprised by this series. I'm typically not a fan of horror, but I love a good who-dun-it mystery. 8/10 |

| Ah, another show where the ideas/premise are spectacular but the execution wasn't on par. 6/10 I found that this show lacked logic and solid pacing. The show kept on teasing the ideas and then info-dumping it at us viewers and then adding another mystery, and repeating this step, without the stuff that mystery shows should do (foreshadowing, red herrings etc.) instead. I feel like it was too focused on the shock factor, which didn't work that well either because the show was too "cute" and over the top. I think that it would be more successful if it had more imagery and less time for the characters acting stupid and wild. And logic... There were a lot of things that the characters did that was just unwise, like when the main guy stuck in a fire, he pulls out his CELL PHONE to call Misaki. Is that really the right time to call her? Another big one I thought of was that there was a lot of plot armor being used, such as Misaki not using her second eye to be able to find the extra student right away. The show purposely made her wait till the last episode to actually reveal it when she had the ability to find the culprit from the start. I would also point out this show is really anticlimatic because there is barely any buildup to the ending (compared to other mystery dramas like Shinsekai Yori where all of the earlier episodes supported the big finale) But don't get me wrong, I did like it overall. It was fun to watch this show, hence why I finished it in two days. It was quite entertaining and the music was really fitting. |

| Can someone please explain to me what the can scene was all about 1 1/2 years ago? Why doesn't he remember that. Did I miss something crucial? Anyway, the ending was sad, but I enjoyed the show. I should note that most endings make me feel sad regardless of the outcome. |
notsomacho said: Can someone please explain to me what the can scene was all about 1 1/2 years ago? Why doesn't he remember that. Did I miss something crucial? Probably because at that certain time he was shocked about his aunts actual death and since due to how the whole "Another" person was explained it changes the memories of the people closely involved to them. |
| so it's stopped? just for the rest of the year? it will start again next year? nothing changed for the teachers i guess, why don't they completely remove 9th class? why will anyone go to the school like that? |

| one of the best conclusion to an anime ever |
 |
| I'm really impressed about Reiko-san be the death person... I was not even expecting it. In the end everyone forgot who she was, except Sakakibara-kun and Misaki-san ... The last chapter had a great ending, loved it immensely. This anime has my respect it's 10/10 for all performances, and all the emotions caused by the tears cried. PS: I had not even noticed that Mikami-sensei was Reiko-san. |

| That was shocking, i mean why ? why must Reiko and Akazawa died ? they're both my favorites ! My mind still can't keep up untill now, such mindblowing finale. And there's no need for a 2nd season, it ended perfectly with just one season i think. Overall score 10/10, more anime like this one pleaseee ♥ |

| What I don't get is why did the manager's wife of the hotel, or whoever, go crazy and start killing people in the last episode and this one? |

| Is there a reason why there isn't a 4th floor in the hospital? I kept thinking that it was important throughout the series haha |
 |
| What an ending! I did not see that one coming at all. Great twist, loved the tension and how it always kept me guessing. Hopefully Mei and Sakakibara end up ok (and Teshi and Mochizuki, they were pretty good characters as well). But with them putting the CD there, could it signal a potential season 2? I could see it being that or a nice full circle conclusion. Either way, great show, glad to have found it. I'll definitely recommend this to my friends. Edit: Just bought it on bluray! Woohoo that's my first anime bluray :D |

I kept thinking that it was important throughout the series haha 4 in japanese is "shi", which sounds exactly as the word for death, "shi". It's a superstition to not put 4th floors in hospitals. Also, floors 7 ("shichi", pronounced almost exactly as "shi") and 9 ("ku/kyuu", which sounds like "ku", which means suffering) Oh okay thanks for the info! I had no idea that there was that much superstition. |

| 9/10 Youichi and Mei never kissed ;_; I never wanted a kiss more than i did at the end of this show and it never happened. Why... WHY... I feel so incomplete right now. (I am kind of a sucker for romance especially in such an unforgiving tale such as this one and Elfen Lied, ect.) |
| so, who killed Reiko?? did sakakibara himself? ? |
| I never realized that the teacher was Reiko... and i didnt have a clue she was the one |
| Wow... it's over... I liked the series but i was scared sometimes because i was watching the show at night. I was scared of: -umbrellas -staircase with umbrella -elevator -my friends |
| Wow they killed off akazawa what a dick move. I know some of you like mei but she is a bit too antisocial for me. For me best girl in this was akazawa. They even hinted that she liked kouichi while Mei shows pretty much no feelings. I was pretty bummed out :/ As you can see, I'm a sucker for pairings and romantic endings, and this did not suite me well. AT ALL. But at least that blonde haired dude(can't remember his name but he's friends with kouichi) lived. 9/10 for me. |
| What an amazing ending to a truly unique and great show. I definitely didn't see the twist coming. Hopefully there will be a second season in 2015. |
| OMG i already knew Reiko is the dead one since i found it really strange when Kouichi's Grandfather was saying "Poor Ritsuko and then Poor Reiko" And then i said to myself who's Reiko? Perhaps she's the one with glasses that is living with Kouichi? Reiko is Ritsuko's sister and she is Kouichi's Aunt as well. Only thing that the anime didn't mention was Reiko as the teacher until the reveal on the last episode. |

| Exciting series with full thriller moments! 09/10 |
| Nothing really too special with this anime - the only thing horrifying about it is how something as bland as that could ever get greenlit. 3/10 for this one. Fail to see how this is #30 in popularity on MAL. |
Cirris said: Eh, I guess I'm the only one that thought they went stupidly overboard over the past two episodes. Akazawa's death was retarded for the fact that she got stuck like a pin cushion to a table and Kouichi and Misaki didn't have a scratch yet they were only two feet away. The characters still acted completely stupid and irrational. Blue haired kid took his turn to go psycho slasher. Decent start to the series. The overall premise seemed to be a good one. But as it went on, The story regressed into a second rate forgettable slasher horror flick, with nonsensical character actions and farfetched death sequences. The show reminded me way too much of C rated movies you'd see on SciFi/SyFy and that's not a good thing in my book. I wanted this show to succeed. I really did. I thought it could be something of a thriller suspense with scary elements. It just turned comical toward the end. It was seriously disappointing for me. ----------------------------- BTW, I'm always one to get annoyed at people who always go "the manga was better." But in this case it really is. It's like two completely different stories. You should definitely check it out. Exactly ^^ |
| Too bad it'll happen again the next year. At least they recorded how to stop the calamity on a dvd but the students would probably still go apeshit again trying to figure out who the extra is. I don't usually watch horrors but I liked this one. |
| The last 4 episodes were awesome. Not usually into any horror, but this one was pretty interesting with a great plot. Rating 7/10 |
| Well, that happened. I never thought that the dead one wasn't even a student. Overall, it was a nice, calm horror anime. |
| Loved the beginning of the series. The atmosphere was creepy, mysterious, and tense, which was perfect for this type of stories. It was around the end that I didn't enjoyed it so much. I don't know, the series became more of a crazy slasher flick with most (if not all) of the characters becoming psychos all of the sudden. Not bad overall for a quick watch. Savagely violent for sure, especially by the end. |

| Thought that the start of this anime ws actually rather boring tbh, but wow did the later half of this anime make up for it. Damn it was really good in the end! 8/10 from me. |
