Well, i'm glad the story is going somewhere now. It felt so static beforehand, and the only character with any kind of personality was Sakakibara. Seeing Mei these past couple episodes makes me like her much more than i originally did.

And that daydream was amazing. Best scene of the show. I like that they added some comic relief to the perpetual gloomy atmosphere. The last two times that made me laugh was the umbrella death and the heart attack, which were just ridiculously hilarious and supposed to be serious. :/

Interesting cliffhanger... Not as bad as the previous eyepatch thing they did, though.

Lol, thought he had a gun. It would have been more effective to strike down as many students as possible in a short amount of time.

Teacher: CAN'T TAKE THIS SHIT NO MOREZ!!!


I thought it's illegal to own a gun in Japan. That's why you hear people over there go on rampages with knives.

That's totally what I would do too. Totally digging Kouichi x Mei.
They make a surprisingly good couple. I'll root for them since they're the only likable characters that are still alive -- trap-kun aside.

Reinforce: Reiko is the dead one.
Kouchi went to Yomiyama one and half year ago to her funeral.
One and half year ago the curse was active. Two years agora something seem to be happen there. About two years ago prof. Mikami get absent of school and she was homeroom teacher of class 3.

Tatsuji mention that the dead could be someone who die recently.
Mikami, Reiko's married name, die in that years an so came back as dead one when Kouchi's father decided enroll him in there. When they talk at fone, Kouchi don't remember be in Yomiyama one and half year ago because he are under influence of the curse, but your father who not are for be distant remember.

Gramps says "why Ritsuko... why Reiko... why you both die?"

Also, when Reiko die, Izumi met Kouchi in her funeral thus she wonder about him.

This anime is awesome....

I love how, after 26 years, the curse is still a big mystery as well.

Also, the two "non-existing" people should really dance and stuff,
not like anyone can stop them XD

Mei's mom doesn't seem to know anything relating to the curse, though.

And Kou does seem to have a secret about himself, but whether it means he is dead or not is still debatable... and that open-ended-ness keeps the mystery more fascinating. Great writing!

I was like; 'Oooh, heavy bag.. must be a big-ass gun.
Then the teacher managed to pull out just a knife.

But yeah, nice episode.
And that epic daydream was epic, they should've just done it.

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Aww no one died today (of course that's a good thing, but idk it's interesting) but teacher went crazy at the end. I think he's going to kill one of the students to avoid anyone else dying in that month as well as himself.

Mei and Kouichi, aww they're best friends now, how cute! Though the random imagination dance scene nearly knocked my off my chair, that totally ruined the atmosphere, but I little comedy doesn't hurt I guess.

How I hate cliffhangers!

The series' getting better and better after the revelation, slowly changing in terms of script and characterisation but still retaining its gloomy atmosphere.

Awww what a horrible point to end it! ... Because I have a strong feeling the following event in the next episode will be very disappointing >.<
Unless we get to see some truly eery, gruesome, bloody death involving that knife^^


Oh and the heightened level of moe from Mei was very refreshing to say the least (^.^)

It's very likely that Sakakibara is the dead person. Remember how his dad said he was in Yomiyama 1.5 years ago, then immediately "corrects" himself after a few seconds of static? This hints towards Sakakibara dying in Yomiyama 1.5 years ago, and being back as the deceased student, a situation similar to the one described by the librarian (Mami Asakura originally being a student in 1993, but coming back as the deceased student in 1996).

yeah, I was thinking 'bout it since I've seen the previous ep
cool, that I'm not the only one, who think that way)

and now I could say, that I'm scary enough..after this preview >_< I want and don't want to see this at the same time..gosh..It's going to be crazy and bloody

Kouichi's dad escaped abroad so the curse can't effect him, but he sent his son, he is a coward. (librarian said it's enough you're not in Yomiyama and you're safe, remember - "like a mobile out of range")

I wonder what the teacher dude has in the bag besides the knife, one knife alone can't be THAT heavy.

lol when i first saw the dancing in class part i actually thought it was real but it was all a daydream.

So leaving town can actually save u from the curse just as long u dont come back huh.

Teacher gone whack some ppl think he will kill some students, some ppl say he will kill students and himself. I guess i he just going to kill himself. gotta wait till next week to see what happens

Man at first i thought the crazyiest thing was Them dancing in class till i found out it was just a Dream Then the ending happened i knew something was up with that teacher and he was in the opening two weeks in a row!.


I have no clue how many he will kill but if you look closely at the scene with him talking one of the girls in the front row is missing also judging from the preview the blood splat hits the short haired girl the worst (one that almost got hit by glass) and shes in the middle of the class i would say he at least kills 2 or 3 randoms in the front of the class...JUST HANDS OFF THE TWIN TAILS Okay?!

Same, I thought he was dying, then as he started to talk I figured he was gonna pull out an SMG or something, then it was a knife :l

He made it sounds like he was going to kill the students to save them, but judging by the preview it seems more like he just did himself in with a gutsy throat slit or something. Damn cliff hangers.

Loves the dancing, at least the idea that we all had was entertained, even if it was only a day dream.

That dance scene totally caught me off guard XD. It was a nice change of pace from the serious mood. I'm beginning to like Mei's character now that her story is revealed. Also liked the interaction between Kouichi and Mei. Seriously, they could add some romance into this (like what Mirai Nikki did) despite being a horror.

Up to this point, I'm pretty sure that Kouichi is the dead one. But I also feel like it's too predictable if that turns out to be true, so chances are it won't be him when it's revealed in the end.

The ending!!! The teacher is definitely going to kill himself in my opinion; what he said while he was shuffling through his bag was foreshadowing for that.
Misaki is adorable and I hope Sakakibara and her become a couple <3 He seems to already be in love with her x.x
I still don't know who to trust in this show...the librarian seems completely sketchy to me...But I guess we'll find out.

As always, I posted a full review of this episode on my blog ^.^

Dammit.... what a cliffhanger.

I laughed my ass off when Sakakibara was dancing with Mei during class. Why couldn't that have happened in real life! The conversation with Sakakibara and his dad was iffy. So does that mean that he was, in fact, in this city before? Maybe he's the dead guy... But Mei still seems fishy to me. There's definitely something going on with her.

One thing I don't understand is why the original Misaki is male all of a sudden. I'm pretty sure the Misaki from 26 years ago has always been refered to as female. For example, in the opening narration of episode 1, the Misaki from 26 years ago was refered to as "she" and "her".

Also, the "poor Reiko" thing was kind of suspicious.

it was too happy and cheerful with him and Mei. so he already talked to her which is why they couldn't explain it? I was kinda disappointed when the teacher goes nuts but only pulls out a knife?

so yeah if I was in Koichi's spot and everyone was going to ignore me anyway...... I'd so troll everybody. dancing in the middle of class is a start. knock stuff over. write on people. it'd be amusing. grab some random girls .... lol


hahaha was thinking the same thing :D you ignore me? ok let the fun start *insert evil grin*
