| op doesnt really fit slow paced but that is how it is going to be lets get the suspense going |
 |
| Oh my gosh. THE SOUNDTRACK OF THIS THING. It was so lovely and creepy. Definitely the highlight of the series for me so far. Very interesting series thus far, creepy town with creepy inhabitants. Should be pretty good. |
RingoPie said: Very nice episode, I love how it gives you little information, it makes me want the next episode now to find out what's all this about... Though, I still don't get how people could rate right off from the first episode, I meant sure even if you read the manga but still first episode is still too early to judge an anime even if it was good. -.- True, its kinda stupid rating an anime with just 1 episode, its like those peope who give rate 1 to a dropped anime at the 1st episode --'' |
| oh my god, i dont think ive ever been creeped out by a anime before but this did it |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Not a fan of both OP and ED... The show have yet to pick up it's pace... hopefully it'll get better soon^_^ This show have potential... Though I got a feeling this show won't be as good as I hoped... Misaki Mei didn't scare me one bit... The introduction scene where the whole class sit silently kinda creep me out... What's worse is when they all turn lively all of a sudden... Awkward man... |

| BGM music was brilliant, that was the first thing that came to mind after the episode ended and the ED is really quite nice I love the art and the plot seems to be quite interesting Recently started playing corpse party for the PSP so I somehow expect gory stuff ._. hopefully it stays true to horror though since it seems we don't get enough of said genre |
| Hmmmm... this anime caught my attention. Probably one of the most anticipated titles this season. 4/5 |
| I was interested the whole way through, the atmosphere is top notch and I feel the OST is a heavy part in that. Looking forward to more. :) |

Look at my top 5... How many of them have slow start up? I'll tell you, all of them. The show has yet to pick up is pace. That is true. The reason I said I can't see it being too good. When I watch Madoka, I can see a possible breakthrough, when I watch Steins;Gate, I can see it too. I have very high expectation for this show, I'm just stating that I got a feeling that it won't live up to it. This show have potential, I mentioned that, it's just just that it seems harder for this show to be another breakthrough. It's just a personal opinion. Don't take it to heart. |

I don't know why you expect Misaki to scare you at all or why you assume Misaki Mei is the same Misaki that was mentioned at the start of the anime. Even Babe Ruth struck out. Your supposed track record with being able to predict a breakthrough with Steins;Gate and Madoka don't mean you will be right in this case, over ever again. |
 |
| This was really good. looking forward to next episodes. |
| I like it so far. I love how it's so mysterious right off the start and even a little creepy. Seeing Mei Misaki walking to the morgue/boiler room where it showed nothing in the hallway sent shivers up my spine. Very well done and can't wait for more. |
| well didn't expect much to happen on first ep.waiting for the next one ... |
Hashiruyuki said: Woho, It has been a long time since I watched horror without slashing and bloody things (I love it though :p). The last one I watched is Ghost Hound and Another gave me new taste of creepy feeling. Personally I think that the feeling is more intense than Ghost Hound... The only one make me angry about a great show like Another is: I need to wait a whole week for the next episode ! damn!. talk about ghost hunt whihch was the best one xD really creepy at some arcs. but Another is also quite interesting. But yea im looking forwards how this will progress... at least has some talent i guess?.. but yeah defenetely creeepy and i love the soundtracks. |
 |
| Wow , very interesting ... I hope that it doesn't become too much boring or predictable. Looking forward the next ep 4/5 |
 |
| Looking forward to more |
 |
| Woah, creeepy! Love it :D Can't wait for the next following episodes. |

'Sakakibara Seito' is a real killer. He killed two people in 14. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seito_Sakakibara Yumekichi11 said: ..lol, you can read raw.Good luck on reading it.I am reading the Novel version yesterday(now at chapter2).... The reason for that is I read till Vol 3 RAW and yeah we need people who various backgrounds to unravel this series. I myself cannot do it. . Usually I am just describing stuff directly from the source, so I don't think its has anything to do with my poor IQ lol. So far ,all I know is that Kouichi's mind is full of Mei.Everywhere he go, he will think of mei, As if he is in love with her . Now I will looking forward on discovering the mystery of the doll >.< ... sometimes I kinda lazy read Novel which need to use brain to think.lol |

MorningGlory said: Oh great! That's cool! I heard the LN is not translated totally in English, not sure of that one but anything from the LN of the anime not having nor even the manga is a plus IMO. Not sure if I will have any time to include extras of the manga but I might. It worked in favour with some for Mirai Nikki. Yumekichi11 said: ..lol, you can read raw. Good luck on reading it.

Grasp what I can. Just more background info to me with some progress. The way I see it is they should reverse the fact of the LN/Manga going for all is revealed at the end. I want it instead half way with a resolve point of it. The reason for this is if all notice in the ED at the very end of it Mei disappears. Could be a sign of crossing over but I am not sure of that one. Another can be all these people are dead in only then Mei passes over. Sudden brainstorm of the ED meaning that I did not mention. I had to think a little of this. In fact I am obsessed with this series. Not something in a while I felt. |
| i'm dying to know the story... anyone who know please PM me... also did anyone realize that this anime is being numbered "11111" at MAL? although this is just a coincidence. |
 |
| @ma_tch I REALIZE THAT TOO!! Another is numbered 11111, i'm curious is that just a coincidence or there is some symbolism behind it :P I LOVE the first episode, especially the atmosphere... and im desperate to know whats behind all of their suspicious act... hmmm and i spotted some cute boys and girls at class 3-3 <3  i wonder if some of them will be a important character since the only one i saw in the ending clip is the feminine boys who wears white shirt.. |
| I love the premises. It gives off a Higurashi + Jigoku Shoujo vibe. How I wish there's more series like this. |
| My first time watching a horror anime,hope it is not too scary... |
 |
| Loved this 1st episode of Another, there already is suspense, I hope it gets even better ^^ |
 |
| How i said, this is not a terror or horror for scare you, it's a mystery story, and most importantly, Another emulates the stile of japanese's cinema of horror in the lates 1990s. Zero fanservice. Subtle. Excellent. http://www.subeteanimes.com/2012/01/primeiras-impressoes-another-pa-works.html |
 |
| Well I just went ahead and read up to chapter 10 of the manga. Let's see how the anime works things out. |
|
| already watched it damn its totally full of mystery DX btw Mei is Moe Ghost XD |
 I Am Fujoshi~ so what? I am M! and love punishment~ |

| The atmosphere the whole ep was creepiest thing ever. That class also looks like it is made up of creeps. Their can be nothing more creepier than that girl. The whole thing was creeping me the fuck out. Aka this anime is wonderfully creepy!! But my joking aside, this was a really good first ep!! It set everything up perfectly. I can't wait to see all the mysteries get discovered, deconstructed and figured out!! I haven't watched an anime set up a mood like this so well in awhile! I was getting chills, because normal stuff was happening, but everything was just presented and executed so... Creepily!! Im really expecting alot from this anime now. Lets hope it doesn't disappoint ^_^ |
| OP awful. ED amazing. Such a good first episode! Can't wait for next week. |
 Sometimes I can hear my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living. |
| The creepy atmosphere, the dark backgrounds such as the building and landscape which are so gorgeous and detail, and mysteries that cover the story.Perfect combination ! |
| i really admire P.A.Works in terms of atmosphere and art. it's really fitting for the setting and theme of the anime. It all goes really well with the mystery that's waiting to be uncover. |
| Nicely directed atmospheric first episode. Very difficult to make an opinion about the series with only that though. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
BridgeX said: Nachtwandler_21 said: > They changed some stuff from the manga It's a novel adaptation so big chance that in manga some parts were changed I didn't know that. Hmm, from the first chapter I wonder which one is closest to the original? Well, the nurse looks different for one thing. lol |
|
| Love it! The art style of this is so well done:) I liked this episode. It had a good start anf I'm very much looking froward to the next episode. btw: is it just me or do lots of the characters in this anime look like other charas from other manga/anime?:3 |
 |
| Wow, I'm amazed by this episode, can't wait for the next one. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
millo said: Yumekichi11 said: yes yes yess!!! i believe the two girls who is holding hands in this picture is the same girls that you post... Oh ho! Nice! I did not see that in PE. Indeed confirms more but I did not see such thing in the manga so I assume they might factor in love. Oh how juicy can the darkness be when it rips to shreds that love. That fear can rupture what is almost impossible, love? Sounds to me like a nice scenario not in the manga. I don't think Mei will care for anyone with love if she tragically never had any of her own. |
| Well, this episode was creepy like hell. I don't get how others students are : talking quietly to eachothers, like they're hiding something from our new hero. Scary ... Let's wait next episode ... By the way above me Yumekichi already did a custom gif from this anime, good job man ! Already a fan from this first ep ! Waaw. |
| Well watched the first episode just recently and what I was left with was a really creeping feeling in my body. The atmosphere was really cold and chill, not much emotion was there, but it all did a really good job on creep me out. Not many anime out there that really do that to be honest. This show just reeks with mystery, dark and cold atmosphere. As for the main character. He looks really timid and down earth guy, maybe a bit adventurous as well, I hope. Going to be interesting to see how he will cope with this atmosphere around his class. Seems like the other classes are doing just fine, but class 3 to be some supernatural power surrounding it. As for our eye patched friend Misaka Mei. Pretty much full of mystery to me, bad news obviously, and I doubt she will open up for us just now. Good Luck, Kouchi. Great start for the show with a creepy and dark atmosphere. Already looking forward to the next episode. |
