This show was funnier than Konosuba and on the same level as nichijou imo
Maybe it's just me but most horror anime is just Comedy to me.
I guess that's where live action prevails, u can't beat the real life immersion
Pennywise, US, Child's Play, Annabelle, Happy Death Day , half of those scared me to death
I honestly hope one day we get a season 2 though was a good show nevertheless want to laugh more.

I am with you on this anime being more of a comedy than anything. I could tell that the show wanted me to take everything happening seriously but it was all too absurd for that to happen. Plus the ‘tension’ before somebody died felt like the set-up to a predictable joke.

ikr especially when that kid died in the ocean
like it was so obvious he was going to die, and yet the show thought they were teasing us like it wasn't obvious 😂
and that goes for the one that died in the elevator, not to mention the chaos at the end.

Final Destination was just people dying for 98mins
There were so many times the characters lost all their brain cells simply for plot progression

I wouldn't call it scary but it's horror not comedy. as for a season two I find it unlikely, but there is another novel out "Another 2001" iirc, I'm not sure if the English translation is out yet though.

There's the Shiki Anime
Shuuzou Oshimi's Mangas
And the Higurashi Visual Novels, which made a good Anime too

Another also wasn't bad, at least for me.
Horror can work in Anime as well
But since the characters aren't real, just throwing in Gore and Deaths doesn't work.
But honestly, that sort of horror isn't enjoyable for me even in Films

Slasher Movies especially

The last episode was GTA Irl, the only episode which i liked most in the series, just kill and kill, like stand up, do something funny and kill someone cause maybe that one is extra person. Lmfao.

My thoughts exactly XD. Things that try too hard to take themselves seriously always end up feeling ridiculous instead. Some of the death scenes are so absurd that you could add cartoon sound effects to them and it would fit perfectly LOL

It was quite well written, the adaptation just doesn't cut it. That's usually how horror genre is in anime, movies too. While the raw text can play with you like a kid plays with a toy, because the image is based directly on your imagination, adaptations just can't do as much, as, when put into an image, the horror element loses a part of it's main point:the unknown. Fear is based on lack of knowledge and senses. Giving the horror element an image, is like showing to a kid that there's nothing to fear in the dark. That's why one of the only solutions left are jumpscares, but they also stop working after some time.

you right, it prolly is, but I haven't read the source material, should've been more specific cuz I was only thinking about the anime adaptation which to me feels goofy and not well written because of how they handled it, but idk much about the manga cause like u said the image is based off your imagination in the source material, adaptations can't really do as much

The first time I watched it, I really got into the creepy vibes and the mystery of it. The sort of dirty textures they use all over the place, and the eerie music...

And now I've watched it probably 6 or 7 times and with each subsequent viewing it's more and more comedy. lol. Either way, I love it.

The bizarre way all the deaths took place. the last episode that became a battle royal, if that's not comedy I don't know what is. :)
I can't be the only one with that morbid sense of humor. like if I see someone die in an Extraordinary way of course I'll laugh. I still enjoyed the show,

Then what do you a psychological show its a horror they gotta put some blood shed to make it so

like I said the deaths in Another were just over the top for me while the show kept trying to take itself seriously so I couldn't help but laugh anytime each death occured, especially that last episode. I know it sounds a bit morbid, but at least 30% of people share my sense of humor

In a way all the 'scary' movies/shows that u guys hype bout is a comedy since all these shows boils down to there will be haunted house,a cursed doll and some jump scares to make it creepy

yh Final destination was a comedy, but it's just scarier for Me in live action cause it's more down to Earth, not as exaggerated as in anime.

I still don't understand how some people see this as a hilariously bad show while others view it as the best horror anime ever.

personally I think it's the best horror anime. everything is perfect for the genre.

if you want some cringe horror go watch Shiki or Elfen Lied. they're good in certain ways, but overall the way their stories are told at times and how certain scenes are made super serious made them pretty funny at times. I don't see how you can see Another that way though

it wasn't scary, but honestly it wasn't that funny either, only 1 or 2 of the death were laugh worthy level of stupid.

If a horror show made you laugh it missed its point.

Honnestly I thought Another was pretty bad.
Blend and boring and the spirit being an unknown character is underwhelming.
