kokorochan- said: i hope Mei and Kouchi could have a cute, romantic kissy kissy moment before it ends. :"CCCCCCCC but i'm wondering if the dead person actually is Mei? i mean, it would be too obvious but why else would she go off and commit suicide? at least, that is what i think she is going to do. ^. ^ ;; there would be no point in killing herself if she wasn't the dead person. and she knows who it is. or she could be going to kill whoever the dead person is.. > w> SO MANY DEATHS THOUGH OMG. it was awesome. i'm feeling Higurashi nostalgia although i liked Higurashi more. i'm definitely feeling my Keiichi x Rena vibes being sent over to Kouchi x Mei now.. > w> PLEASE ROMANTIC KISSY KISSY MOMENT! and then death and gore * 0* yeah he needs to get on mei asap. Sadist4life said: I am glad that Akazawa didn't die. The deaths are not very shocking and out of the world (except for the guy who got stabbed many times). I believe this is going to be used in the next episode  Who is the dead one? |
| This episode was way over the top. Literally a mindless slaughter, and no, this is not realistic, just because cornered people want to survive doesn't mean people will act like what happened in this episode. These scenes were simply: "we should make this show more dramatic by having everyone go crazy battle royale style, OH, and why not have the managers of the inn go crazy and kill people too for added effect for no reason at all??" This episode was terrible. And also to people who don't know who the dead person is, don't bother clicking on any of the spoilers, although at this rate the anime might have a different ending from the novels. |

Licorice said: I just love their slow reactions to everything. <guy storms into the room> -OH MY GOD GUYS I THINK I KILLED SOMEONE!!!" -Oh, Teshigawara-san. What seems to be the matter? or <a guy is lying on the ground, covered in blood, probably dead. Each passing second might save his life> -You know, he might be alive. -Yeah, let's stay here and talk about it. <facepalm> But I guess it's too much to expect human reactions from the characters of an anime, that kills about 2-3 people per episode... Yes, i agree. The characters actions seemed downright retarded at times. The most retarded moment of all is the Otaku dead brother girl going slasher psychotic flinging herself out a window to take a half ass swipe at Mei. 'I don't want to die. but hey, I'll kill myself by fling my ass out the window carelessly. Even better I'll give some gore freaks some fan service by breaking my neck from the fall and awkwardly land with my crotch in the air. Hows that?!? You like my instant rigor mortis bridge pose?' I mean seriously? I would like to ask the person in episode 3 how argued that this show wasn't "final destination the anime" if he still felt the same way now. Cause it's gone way past that.. this is now "Final Battle Destination Royale: the anime" |
| Holy fuck. Intense episode is intense 0.0 definitely the best in the series so far, and the most gruesome. More than slightly reminds me of Higurashi. Since Misaki isn't the Another(she knows it's not herself, for the obvious reason being that she can see the color of death) I assume she's going to kill the Another in the next episode. I just wonder how they're going to reveal who it is. I cannot wait for the finale. I'm already counting the days :P |
| Lemme smang it girl. |
| That. Was. AMAZING! The most gruesome episode of the show so far. That's how a Horror show should be. ------ And for those asking "Who is the dead one?"... Many People - after this episode. And still more next week. |

| Battle Royale!! People have finally snapped under the stress of the curse and brought out everyone's inner yandere. |

| Great episode,MADNESS EVERYWHERE!!! Best episode so far the tension was to the max!! First Teshigawara trying to kill blue guy that at the end seems its alive. Then Takako going 'Higurashi Mode" by trying to kill Mei then spreading madness by revealing the tape...SHIT GOT REAL. Dead everywhere first Mikami,then the girl that lose his brother while watching porn(her dead was great!),then random guy getting burn to dead by opening the door....THIS IS WHAT I WAS WAITING FOR BLOOD BLOOD!!! Crazy maid go crazy also probably she was the one that kill the owner and start the fire...i dont know wtf she went crazy still Teshigawara and Yuuya running for their lives...the stair part was hilarious getting troll like that. Takako dead was also brutal horrible way to die,Izumi now also seems going bersek by seeing her dead,I think may go to try to kill the dead person since she knows who it is. Next episode seems intense dead,fire,screams.......Cant wait to see the ending!! |
| Teshigawara and Mochizuki don't die plz :((( Wooo so much happened in this ep! Almost too much x-x Wonder what's going to happen to the main characters in the next ep, cause they've almost all survived it to the last ep.. wonder if they'll have a happy end 8] Although I don't think Kouchi and Mei will have a happy ending, cause I'm guessing Mei is considering suicide.. Oh and about the spoilers in these topics. I usually check if they're picture, if I see text I don't read them :'] Can't wait till next week! |
| I doubt Mei is the suicidal type. Rather, I think she'll kill the dead person herself. I mean, why the hell will she run upstairs if she can just slit her throat right then and there? DUH. Besides, she can recognize the dead one, and she FINALLY DOES SOMETHING!! She's been pretty passive the whole time, so it's good that she's acting up right now. |
 "Belief is the death of intelligence." ~Robert Anton Wilson~ |
| Hm... I thought Reiko/Mikami(not under spoiler because from the beginning someone was talking about this so we all know) the dead one but now I can't be sure. I just hope Kouichi and Mei live (Akazawa too, but she is not that important) The scene in preview where Kouichi is holding something reminds me a lot of a spoiler I read before... Axe or something like that was and he is going to kill extra person... I just hope it's not Mei...(I wouldn't kill her even if she was the extra one XD) |
 |
| so many deaths... all at once... @_@ it's kind of hard imagining misaki trying to kill someone. but eh. xD |
| Of all the previous episodes, this made the least sense. The actions of people, I mean. For example: the dining hall is completely in flames and they just calmly walk around the hotel? They even took their time to knock on the teachers door! That's just stupid. Another thing: Mei knows who the dead person is. Yet, she let's others theorize whether the guy that fell from the balcony was actually dead or not. She then keeps silent as everyone is being killed and even when she is accused of being the dead person, she still tells others nothing! Wtf... The people in the hotel going insane was a fun thing to see, but there was just too much action. The pose at which the girl who fell down remained looked creepy, yet kind of "artistic". Setting the plot holes aside, another thing that annoyed me very much in this episode was the censorship. I mean, it was an issue in previous episodes, but here it became much bigger due to the rise in blood and deaths. A 4/5 from me, even thought I just hated how little sense all of this made. |
| I'm pretty sure the dead one is Sakaki, Akazawa, or Mei. Yes, Misaki. Reasons for Misaki - - She could be able to see the aura on herself - Her solemn tone/ averting glances when the dead one's mentioned (This is also a reason for Sakakibara!) - The hesitation in saying who the dead one is - Sakakibara has a weapon in the preview w/ Misaki in front of him - Too obvious Reasons for Sakakibara - The dad's phone call - The jumbled up memories of him - Main Character - Misaki may have lied about him being dead one because she doesn't want him to die Not my point, but I was really hoping for the dead one to be Reiko but all my hopes are now crushed along with everyone's lives. OTL I jumped at the scene where Mochizuki and Teshigawara (thatishisnameright?) opened that door, the first and second door. Also, this is like 1 of the 3 horrors i'm watching right now alongside MONSTER and Shiki (kind of) |
| SHIT FINALLY GOT REAL. Really enjoyed this episode, laughed at the crazed expressions, finally major progress after 11 episodes X3~!!!!!!!!! |
     |
| This fucking episode.... amazing. Best of the series by a longshot(excluding finale of course). Can't wait for the last ep, shits gonna get realer than real. |
 |
| So many deaths, and still the dead one isn't dead yet. There's not going to be much left of this year's class. |

I know, right? Well, I didn't watch the one with censor, so it was all pretty clear to me. Indeed, their reactions are so off; it was frustrating to watch. I believe the novel is better than all of this...absurd MIS-reactions. Honestly... The madness is ok, but their reactions are just really lacking (as though they were holding back their insanity - which is ok, but a lot of people holding back so much?? Wth!! People should have been screaming already when they saw that Maebira was bleeding!). I feel so much antipathy throughout this ep... |
"Belief is the death of intelligence." ~Robert Anton Wilson~ |
| LOL. I'm sorry, but this episode was hilarious. I just couldn't stop laughing. Don't get me wrong, it was awesome. It's just everybody was so hysteric that I couldn't help but chuckle. |
    |
| Oh boy.. that was intense. And Misaki was just like "Oh that girl died. Now where is my afternoon tea?" |
| “My antics are works of art.” ~ Hermann Fegelein |
| The first half of the episode was great, but the second half was just, WTF. Everyone's going all psycho bitch. XD Maybe a bit over the top, there. I still love the show, though. |
| Sakakibara and misaki holding hands <3~!!! that old crazy lady scared me D: what's up with her? has she something to do with the calamity? Anyway awesome episode, I was like: O_O how many people are going to die in just a night? , I have the feeling that at the end just like 6 people are going to remain alive lol , can't wait for next episode >.< |
 |
| God this episode was intense. I was so freaking scared the whole time. Glad I didn't watch this at night.... And, just like I did episodes ago....I still see this show ending like Shiki, where Can't believe I'm about to go from THIS to Smile Precure.... |
| Just how stupid a person can get? This whole episode, I was waiting for Sakakibara to finally ask Mei just who the hell the dead person is and he did what... geez. And the way he and Mei acted when Teshigawara showed up... You can just guess he killed (not really) Kazami but all they're doing is standing there and calmly saying "It can't be...". lol what? Not to mention when Maejima was bleeding there helplessly, they were all acting slow and talking. I was like "The guy is bleeding there to dead! Wrap his wound or something!" To Sugiura, I'm not the least bit sad that you died. To Akazawa, girl I like you (even though you are my primary suspect of being the another) come to your senses. To Mei, fucking do something. To Mochizuki, don't die you are so cute and heroic (though I called you stupid when you didn't go outside as Teshigawara suggested). To Teshigawara, you can be stupid sometimes but you are fun and you mean good so don't die too. To Sakakibara, well I don't have anything to say to you at this point I guess. And lastly, the-crazy-woman-in-the-butcher-mood-who-randomly-snapped... what the fuck. |
 |
| holy fukcing fuck of fuck. this was total win. who was the dude who got stabbed 10000 times? the inn guy? why the woman go crazy'?? good deaths all around. especially that bitch who slipped and who got hung. winning. nooo misaki plz dont kill self. altoguth i doubt its her imo. i think its the little loli boy |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |

| Deliveries go here pls <3 Candy Kingdom (∩^o^)⊃━☆ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ |
| Well... Misaki knows who is dead, she wants to end it. She could tell who it is when they listen tape. Still this is madness. Madness? |
 |
| I hope its not Mei. This why they should have not said anything |
 |
| Poor Mei. I was laughing so hard at those deaths. This episode was hilarious. |
   |
| Holy shit, death by death. I hope that Misaki is alive. |
bakuramariks said: The way this looks, it could be possible she was hit in the back with something and she has that "freeze/shock" face on. If that's true, it could be Kazami which would be a bad ass way to get him back in the next episode. ......or it could be how everyone thinks it is and she's just crazy and there trying to kill them. |
| I read spoilers so I know who the Another is but I'm so confused. |
| i was like OOOOOHHHHHH SHITTTTTTT! then i went like WTFFFFFF then when the teacher got killed i was like NOOOOOO then when the crazy bitch hanged herself i was like YEAH DIEEE you senile fool then when Misaki ran away i was like no i hope she doesn't do what i think she's gonna do I loved this one lots of death and psychotic people running around in a house |
 |
| ithink that the real extra is mei's other eye and she thinks its her intirely. if she kills herself (which i think she is going to) the other her i think will come and shift the eyepatch.After that i think she will; go on a rampage killing people.and kouichi will be the savior and end up getting the old socialy ackward mei back 0.o AWESOME EP. |
| Yo |
| Oh my fucking god. I want spoilers, NOW. I want them hard. But I caaaan't!!!!!! |
| And so lord of the flies syndrome kicks in this episode ;). |

| Okay, so everything was really cool 'n dandy in this episode, like really - top-notch, I say. But there's one thing that is not only ticking me off, but also ruining the premise - and that would be characters and their behavior. They way they act is illogical, unnatural, and is just odd to say the least. On one side it sure adds some points to being spooky and shit, but when we lay it down on the entirety... it becomes fucking stupid. It ain't bad by any means, and I do have to say that I enjoyed the episode more than a tad, but realism (regarding people and their acts) is nearly non-existent. For the first time I give it a 4 rather than 5... though I hope that with the upcoming grande finale next week, I will be able to revert to the ol' good 5/5. |
