| 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. |

| IT IS FINALLY OVER |
 |
| Not bad. It was fun most of the time :) |
 |
| So... considering probably half of the student body died in that place, do we consider the school trip idea a success or a failure? Anyway, it was a pretty fun series. It didn't offer anything really exceptional, but there wasn't anything to dislike either; it has great art & animation, the horror atmosphere was almost always well executed, and it was thoroughly entertaining and occasionally thrilling. One of the few series where it doesn't need to be anything mindblowing in order to be a pretty dang fun ride. Why'd they have to kill Akazawa though when she wasn't even the extra? shit antoniocaiee said: Sry BRO YOU FLUNKED ! HAVE FUN NEXT YEAR! lmao |

| Amazing anime, not much a fan of the horror/suspense category, but damn, this was definitely great. Lots of suspense, blood and a dark atmosphere that kept me holding on my seat. I'll rate this 9/10. |
| Well, that was a good end to a good anime but it gets an 8 from me. Reasons: - No explanation on why that bloody old woman (no pun intended) went batshit crazy - No explanation on why Mei is able to 'see' death with an artificial eye. - I didn't feel anything for anyone, well expect the nurse but she died too early... thankfully the suspense kept me going. - The bloodbath would've been avoided if Mei said something. - Okay, you're in a burning building with bits of wood and debris crashing down everywhere. What do you do? 1. Hide till it dies down? A. Who has time for that? 2. Run away? A. Er... falling debris? 3. Grab your phone and start calling someone? A. You know what? I'll do just that... I'll do just that while stand still and all. It's not like I'll be crushed to death or roasted alive or anything. Sigh... don't get me wrong, it IS a good anime.... just the above. |
 |
| I had a lot of fun, really good Anime. I watched it in one go. I think the last 2 episodes went a little overboard... it was fun to watch and suspenseful, but it kind of took the "horror" out of it. Some deaths even made me lol :D PS: I read that there were plans to release a sequel LN back in last Fall , yet there don't seem to be any news about it. Did one you hear something? |
| Well I was half right, I had guessed Reiko might be dead pretty early on. Her constant headaches and odd behavior is what tipped me off. I had thought maybe due to the calamity stopping midway 15 years ago that the dead one had just stuck around from back then, AKA Reiko. But once the tape was revealed I quickly dropped that theory. Reiko being the teacher was a great twist, I never saw it coming. As for the series itself, I liked it a lot. I'm usually not a fan of horror anything, since 99% of them fail to scare me in any way. But Another was actually generally creepy and suspenseful. This show had an amazing atmosphere that sucked me in and kept me on the edge of my seat almost the entire way through. My only complaint is that I didn't like the direction they took with these last 2 episodes. It went from suspenseful and creepy to just ridiculously silly. What I hated the most was how half the students just randomly turned into crazy axe murders lol. But overall it was still a great series, 9/10. |

| Best episode of Happy Tree Friends I've seen. |
| Well this was amazing! Will rewatch because there's alot of stuff I didn't understood during the first episodes |
| Bruh check out my soundcloud https://soundcloud.com/wal-skynner " Becoming an adult means hating milk chocolate and loving brocolis. " ~ Wal Skynner |
| I just loved this anime. One of my favoutites *_* I loved the bloody ending. Really missed that in the manga :x |
 |
| This show required such a ridiculous amount of suspension of disbelief. So many situations handled terribly and a key plot moment at the end that came out of nowhere and could have prevented the ENTIRE SITUATION. Watch it as a comedy instead of a horror. I was laughing at some of the deaths. Good value. 5/10 |
 |
| Do you think anyone would have believed Mei if she said who the dead one is? People were already scared of Mei and Kouichi... one of them would have been the obvious dead one. It was a great psychological anime!!! Everything was intertwined and the ending was really brilliant! Had we known Reiko was Ms Mikami beforehand, it would have been too obvious in my opinion. :p |
| I was here? Prove it. |
| Another is a very epic anime. I really liked it. But is it just me or anyone else think that they did not put proper full stop to story. They just told you about one year or calamity. They did not tell us that how to control/evade it once and for all. I guess its just me..... |
 |
| The ending ruined my overall opinion of it. It was just too chaotic, like they were trying to stuff everything in at the last moment. Some of the deaths were just extremely silly. The triple kill, then a perfectly timed pillar, and the dining room door explosion all should have never happened. I get supernatural stuff is evolved but suddenly everyone becomes psychos? Lightning would never strike that often in one area. And what was the inn lady's problem and the girl trying to kill her best friend, despite not thinking she was the extra? There wasn't enough clues or hints to help, a critically thinking audience, figure out who the extra was. It as just, this is the extra, and here's an arbitrary detail and some left out info that's supposed to somehow, make it make sense. I was planning on giving the series a 10/10 because I loved it up until now. But after reflection, I'm dropping that to a 8/10 overall. 6/10 for the episode. |

| what a surprise! I didn't see that one coming |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| Finally I've finished this cinematic logical fallacy of an anime It was so retarded that it was hilarious 2/10 |
 Nico- said: Conversations with people pinging/quoting me to argue about some old post I wrote years ago will not be entertained@Comic_Sans oh no y arnt ppl dieing i need more ppl dieing rly gud plot avansement jus liek tokyo ghoul if erbudy dies amirite |
| Akazawa noooo |
 |
| What the fuck. So Reiko killer is the same guy that Akazawa met? |
| Man I really enjoyed this show and I was quite surprised by the extra one reveal. It kind of shows though that Mei could of identified the person a long time ago but who would actually believe her? Its a shame we will never find out who originally killed Reiko, im thinking along the lines of either Izumi's brother or Koichi himself but all that can be done is speculate. |
| well of course the curse isn't completely broken, then it wouldn't be a horror. The cycle will continue... |
| i'm okay with the conclusion but the previous eps seemed like a trainwreck to me. I mean c'mon, what are the chances that people just became cold-blooded killers all of a sudden, and so much disasters happening in that villa it's like the place got nuked lol overall meh, time to check out the ova |
  |
| Well this was a real horror series right here. 10/10. This was messed up in so many ways. I liked it. Sucks it's over though. |
| Ohkay.. so who didn't die in the end? I wonder if (re)killing the dead did much good since there are not many students left anyway. Why don't they just shut down the whole school. Repeating something and expecting different results is insanity isn't it. I mean shouldn't lives be more important than education? But yea, good series. Crazy but captivating plot. |
| Huh, the reveal didn't come off as all that great. And I didn't really see a reason for them to kill Akazawa except to ship Sakakibara and Mei at the end. |
 |
| One of the best series to ever exist, especially in the horror genre. Just gotta LOVE IT <3 I love horror, macabre, eroguro, gore and all but not many manage to scare you. Another on the other hand gave the feeling of uneasiness (not fear but still) so it is a big plus. The only other series which manages to leave on us a similar effect is Yami Shibai the first season (currently watching other seasons), well I guess. It's probably because of the animation style they did. I never suspected Reiko to be the extra and that's a big plus, well done for that. Hope for a season 2, spin off or anything someone said they are working on a spin off? is that ongoing? also I need to find the Light Novel :'( anyone know where I can read it? :3 btw does anyone know if the dolls Misaki hangs around are made from plastic or what? _kaas said: LadyBird said: Can I just state before anyone actually comes here and starts discussing: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PUT SPOILERS UNDER A SPOILER TAG. A lot of curious people are going to browse these forums and I want to make it clear beforehand that it's not fair to everyone when we spoil. If you do write under a spoiler tag, MAKE SURE you CLEARLY STATE that you're about to post something so big. Please keep everyone else in mind when posting!!! It's your own fault if you get spoiled by reading a thread discussing the damn episode ahneeme said: I'm not going to use spoilers because people who don't want to get spoiled shouldn't be coming in here to read before they finish the episode. Are both of you that inconsiderate? Sure it's a fact that it's their own fault to get spoiled if they read it before watching the anime but we all went through the experience of being spoiled just cause of curiosity until we learned from that experience and started reading comments after watching. That said it's nice from us who experienced it to at the very least put Spoiler tags and warn, it's not much work but helps a lot. ahneeme said: The principal locks away stuff and would never show it to the teens thinking they (as a school) shouldn't involve them in such stuff. Also give the stupid tape recorder thing with how to stop the calamity to the principal or something! Why would they stick it in the closet again poor kids who will have to go back to look for it. They might never find it. camelkid11 said: that was awesome! can't believe it! 9/10 for me. I don't want to sound like I'm forcing you to rate it a 10 but I wonder just why do some people feel the need to give a rating 9 instead of a 10? I feel like they would really give it a 10 but just want themselves to feel like a true critic or something so they give it a 9. There's a lot of series anime or not which deserve a 10 but critics give it a 9 to give out the illusion of being very perceptive and informed of the show. Cause if one site gave it a 10 and others 9 fans would think the one that gave a 10 is less dependable in regards of providing us with a valuable review or impression. oh btw please msg your replies to me rather than posting them here because if you post them here it might give negative thoughts to people and none sure wants that especially after having just finished the series (since this is the finale thread) again please (if you want to reply ofc) ClementIV said: Great anime! 9/10. Had I not seen seen the spoilers I might have given it a 10 Oh come on don't let a spoiler judge the worth of a show for you :( Hakuromatsu said: That was the best decision ever along with using different seiyuu'sKurimu-chan said: So, wait, they NEVER told us that the teacher was Reiko? Nope! ^_^ |
