LisNoir said: Agreed *nods*Of course, he had to mess up the tape just when the important part was coming up... I don't know why, but I have a feeling the kid who is going to try and fix it, will be the next one to die. This episode is so good ~ It's a right decision to watch it alone at 2AM in a pitch dark room hehehehe xD |

That's so racist of you *joking* I don't know, can the another be someone who died so long ago? I thought it was supposed to be one of the deaths of the last year. Anyway, that's possible... That guy has been away for a while hasn't him? It seems things won't be settle by the tape, but by findining out in the very end who the another is (well maybe the the tape will tip them to that). So we'll probably figure that out soon... wait... that guy died? When? |

| Now this was one hell of a cheap episode. Nothing but cheap, expectable tricks to scare us. They messed up the tape right before "the important part"? Yeah, like we didn't see that one coming... And the lightning strike was a laugh - like you could still stand and be fine when a lightning strikes a few feet in front of you... This episode was way below the average level of an Another ep! |

That's what you get when you're watching previews, so I guess that's actually your fault :p Leon-Gun said: People have survived direct lightning strikes, I'm willing to let that one slide. Lightning is very misunderstood. While what you've said is true, I'll keep my opinion that a lightning strike at such distance would blind and deafen a person for tens of seconds/minutes at the very least. It's just the way that many shows treat physics (and common sense!), like we were all idiots and would actually believe in all they put into their episodes... Anyway, let us hope that the 3 final episodes will feature something unexpected and scary (or surprisingly simple - I'm in for that kind of surprise as well). |
Kurisu666 said: I agree with that but a common man's knowledge of physics and science in general is actually pretty small, that's why they themselves don't research or try to make it as real as possible. They go for the most impacting ussually. Personally, I'm surprised they didn't make the person near him get thrown back and possibly flung down the mountain slopes (creating more deaths).While what you've said is true, I'll keep my opinion that a lightning strike at such distance would blind and deafen a person for tens of seconds/minutes at the very least. It's just the way that many shows treat physics (and common sense!), like we were all idiots and would actually believe in all they put into their episodes... I get why some people would get mad at the blatant disregard of realistic physics and such in most shows but I tend to just roll with it, in that regard at least. Kinda like how I don't get too hung up with all the space shows where the characters basically have self-propulsion somehow or manage to stick to ships without getting flung into deep space. |

| Of course they break the tape at the most important part.... Very nice episode. I hope this doesn't end up like Hamlet.' "And then everyone died. The end." |
| I thought almost 24,000 people died each year due to lighting strike ... |

poochisuu said: Misuryu said: That rock gave me a fucking heart attack. A fine episode, we all knew they didn't run into the two girls for no reason. What bothered me though was the stopping of the tape; the trope of an important message getting cut off is so over done that it no longer generates more suspense...it makes you go "oh, old trick again." And really, how big would the consequences have been if the teacher discovered the four of them there? Teacher: what are you children doing here, you aren't allowed in here! Group: We're just, y'know, trying to save lives? Teacher: Sounds legit. |

Another has managed to be a nice flowing experience with horror that isn't forced onto you like most other titles would try to do to you. The horror is completely forced on you, and most can actually predict when someone's going to die because the show makes it so obvious. And then the deaths are just stupid. I stand by Gogetters' original comment. |

| Dat lightning strike made me jump. |

| Jesus christ, the lightning and the rock smash made me jump too. So many deaths in this episode and the damn tape just had to break at that point didn't it. |
Misuryu said: This.That rock gave me a fucking heart attack. And why that clichéd broken tape trick? I'm expecting that it will be fixed next ep, but only for a bit, so they probably will only hear the important part or the thing that he wanted to confess. (he still didn't do that he only told the prologue of it if I'm right) Also they really should stop the spoilers in the preview. |
| Godamnit idiot he broke the tape :( What happened at the bottom of the mountain!!!?!one111! And Mei just doesn't fit making any jokes whatsoever. Ouch that girls brother died while that other girl along with her parents just got wiped out. 4 Deaths in one episode wow... not to mention those two flashback deaths. Misuryu said: Fix'dThat rock and lightning both gave me a fucking heart attack. |
 |
| just knew someone or multiple was gonna die. figuring those girls and Mochizuki were the most likely. the tape getting messed up was not cool. leaving us hanging like t hat. oh of course one girl dies and the other ones brother. Mei is still way too suspicious. |
 |
| I knew the idiots will ruin the freaking tape and i was astonished by how calm they where about it. I would be kind of pissed. Deaths are really escalating now. |
| That rock hitting the car was wtf. And when the car just fell off without anysort of effects gave me a blank 'Wut' expression. Mei was a heart stopper, especially when she put on that flower. And I was totally going "come on, Come on, COME ON" when the tape started playing and it was just about to say the important part. Then when the idiot broke it, I went "FUUUUUUCCCCKK" and fully raged at the screen. I think this is the first horror series I have ever seen and I must say this successfully got me interested in this genre. What with all the psychological stuff and shit. |

| It's quite unusual how that girl bid Kouichi sayonara, which is only really used when you don't expect to see someone again after a long time, or at all. It came to serve as her death flag to me. Now even those whose names haven't even been introduced yet are also dying. That doesn't seem to be a good thing. Kouichi's nightmares, are they significant or just a red herring? The lightning was okay, but that rock startled me. That girl's brother's death was quite an absurd way to go, definitely another "freak accident" by outside standards. Well, that was nice going with the tape. It has to be fixed/its secrets revealed one way or another, or the entire ruckus regarding it will turn out to be just a waste of time. |
| *Note to self move computer away from windowed area* of course the tape would not work it was good too. love how they did that, a tape being played is a classic in any horror movie, show, game etc. kinda expected those girls to die though since they showed them. but a great episode yet again. seeing all the dead people again was kinda cool especially the nurse :O |

| Damn, I just knew they wouldn't be able to hear the important part. |
| Tape scene was pretty predictable, but I wasn't expecting all those people to die. |
| LOL what the fk is going on? -.-" So curious what the explanation is going to be for the cause. =p |
 |
| This just keeps getting better and better. |
| Nice job, thats what happens when the cd/mp3 generation finds an old fashioned tape *sigh* That NEET was a bro. Holding your mouse even after death - RESPECT! NEED MOAR MEI! |
Cirris said: T With so many people dieing from the class every year you'd think the curse would be a national phenomena story. That it would be as closely scrutinized by scholar and enthusiasts as the Bermuda Triangle. Exactly! i loved the episode though. I knew once Kouichi talked to those girls they would be next. |
| Deaths starts to become like the deaths in Final Destination LOL. Anyway good episode as usual... |
 |
| Just a bunch of coincidences I'm sure. |

| How did I know they were gonna change it and listen in the creepy abandoned building XD. And of COURSE he breaks the tape. That was unnecessary lD but I guess it's suspense for those who don't know. Since they're killing random people who I don't even remember from the manga, I'm nervous about even people who lived in the manga dying... I keep thinking Mochizuki will be next. |
Hakuromatsu said: - Chibiki is lying, or at the very least not what he seems. The revelation that he is the drama club advisor -- and evidently a competent actor -- must be significant; it wasn't played up enough to be a red herring and no mystery scriptwriter would drop a superfluous detail like that. Something like that. Misuryu said: That rock gave me a fucking heart attack. I had two only from that lightning. |

DarkShards said: Just a bunch of coincidences I'm sure. Very could be. |
| あらあら。。。 |
| Isn't this the first time several people died in one episode? LOL, gotta squeeze in all those deaths in twelve episodes I guess. |
| Well I have to say that this episode managed to keep me at the edge of my seat o.o And God DAMN, when that rock hit... |

| Not this is thriller done good! Very suspenseful moments, my favorite episode so far. |
 |
| Was Mr. Ohba a reference to Death Note mysteries since he was a detective? |
| I was just looking at the road sign and BAM, THE ROCK ALMOST MADE ME FALL OUT OF MY CHAIR! |
| Oh my god this was the worse. Such a good anime. It is mind-blowing. |
