Synopsis

In class 3-3 of Yomiyama North Junior High, transfer student Kouichi Sakakibara makes his return after taking a sick leave for the first month of school. Among his new classmates, he is inexplicably drawn toward Mei Misaki—a reserved girl with an eyepatch whom he met in the hospital during his absence. But none of his classmates acknowledge her existence; they warn him not to acquaint himself with things that do not exist. Against their words of caution, Kouichi befriends Mei—soon learning of the sinister truth behind his friends' apprehension.

The ominous rumors revolve around a former student of the class 3-3. However, no one will share the full details of the grim event with Kouichi. Engrossed in the curse that plagues his class, Kouichi sets out to discover its connection to his new friend. As a series of tragedies arise around them, it is now up to Kouichi, Mei, and their classmates to unravel the eerie mystery—but doing so will come at a hefty price.

Another is not a subtle anime, and it isn’t especially logical either. Its tone is suffocatingly grim, its color palette is even grimier: shadows creep across damp hallways, gray skies pour endlessly, and the surrounding landscape is composed of metal rust, rotting wood, and moldy cement. Every frame is drenched in a kind of slow-building morbidity, as though the show is not merely about death, but trapped inside it. This works… at first.

Set in 1998 at the Yomiyama Middle School, Another begins with atmosphere and promise. The new transfer student, Koichi Sakakibara, arrives with a collapsed lung and a cloudy understanding of what his new ...

I totally recommend Another if you're looking for horror anime! I was surprised at some scenes, I love the art style and how the plot is so interesting. It did scare me at times but I'm happy that it actually had a extremely good plot! If you like horror animes and can't find one then I would watch Another.
The anime is at "another" level for real. This was my first time watching a genre like this one. It's awesome, already one of my fav. The characters are so pretty, well animated, the story is good. The ending made me satisfied but also left me in ...

Another is a really interesting anime. I probably would've liked it more if it was a fast-paced movie instead of a 12-episode series, because the pacing is very slow.

Another is an anime that wears the horror and mystery tags proudly, but whether it lives up to either is another story. While it starts with a chilling atmosphere and a mysterious premise, the series slowly spirals into a muddled mix of repetitive shock value and lackluster storytelling.

The narrative centers around an ominous curse and a class surrounded by inexplicable tragedies. It sounds intriguing, and at first, it is, but the intrigue quickly fades as the mystery ...
