| I'd laugh if Izumi Akazawa was the dead person. I doubt they'd make it that obvious though. I like how the story took a dramatic turn. That's precisely what would happen if a bunch of scared and desperate kids where told one of their classmates was the cause of their "curse". It's the mob effect. People tend to ignore rationality and reason when something like that happens. |

roy25mustang said: No one knows Misaki Mei has a sister. In fact, officially, Misaki Mei has a cousin called Misaki. Misaki Mei is, for all intents and purposes, an only child. This is partly because of Mei's mother paranoia about the subject. I might also add, Mei's cousin didn't go to the school Mei did and such no one knew her. Akazawa apparently did, but her memory is fuzzy about it.But one thing that made me like UGH. Was how we know Misaki has a sister, but they didn't know. So if she had told them 1) She wouldn't be suspected as the dead one, she's a victim of the curse 2) Koichi wouldn't be the reason for the curse starting As for the repeated "trololol, they went insane because of a short recording, no wai !", no...just no. They went insane because they were told "To stop the curse you need to kill the Another. I, one of the Heads of countermeasures KNOW who the extra student is. The Extra student is MISAKI MEI ! Kill Her !" So, we have a bunch of students all scared about a curse with people dying every month, and suddenly they're told by one of the guys who are in charge of the class that Misaki Mei, the girl who shares the same name as the Misaki of the curse and the one who they believe is at fault for the curse befalling them, has to be killed. They already had reasons to hate her, they were just given the last push. |

| A few things to say. First, i feel like i missed an ep, at the end of the last one everyone was still more or less calm and in fear, but at the start of this ep that one lady and Takako are BAT SHIT INSANE, with no real explanation, it feels like they were like "hmm, too many people left, lets just set them all on a rampage for the hell of it." second, was the teacher seriously killed with a mop? that's so dissapointing. third, why did no one evacuate when there was a fire? i'd have ran up and down the halls yelling "FIRE, FIRE!!!" and bail after that, not calmly look for people and shit. fourth... i dunno, but this episode while it had my heart pumping was kinda lame in the context of the show, we've gone from curse to murderous rampage in no time at all, Higurashi could pull it off because it only had a few eps before flipping the kill switch, whereas having ten eps and changing it leaves me kinda annoyed |
| Time to hit the climax in the last episode. |

Candor said: This episode simply ruined the show, too much gore and unlogical stuff, I wasn't expecting much from it as i read the summery before it aired, just hoped for an awesome ending. the first 10 episodes were great, but this.. well i guess it's too late to drop an anime that has 1 episode left.. gonna watch next episode hoping for a good resolution.. What did you rate this episode? |
 |
Jacut said: We will know next episode. I know who you mean by but there is also Misaki to check upon. She did not look to me dead there. Just KO.LadyOrihime said: Who do I think is the Extra? I won't tell you in the spoiler who is but I can give you an interesting hint (that won't help you more than that though). |
well i guess it's too late to drop an anime that has 1 episode left haha dropped fate zero like that |
| This episode was quality entertainment, imo. Perhaps one of the most entertaining episodes I've seen in a decent while. I'm quite the big fan of yandere's, insanity, and watching people kill each other off in anime, so this episode was a slight gold mine for me. It was entirely bat shit, but logically it does make sense why they have reached insanity at the possible highest level. I can't wait for the last episode. I'm personally expecting Izumi to end up as the dead one. |
 |
| Mother of God..... GAHHH SO MUCH SUSPENSE!!! &^%$#* |
 |
| damn bloody and creepy episode. I think Misaki is gonna go kill the extra. |
 |
| Wow, what an episode. There was so many moments that made me jump in my seat. It would be sooo scary to be in Mochizuki and Teshigawara's situation. Kazami seem very suspicious to me. Can't wait til the next episode ^^. Wonder how they'll explain everything next episode.... |
 |
| Very intense episode. And I can't wait to see what happens. |
| SH*T GOT REAL! Though whats bugging me is why is the managers wife suddenly going on a killing spree? How is Takako aware of this? And where's the body that Naoya thought he killed? Didn't someone say he'd seen him covered in mud? Just saying, for if they pull off the "dangers all gone but I can't help but think we forgot something *BANG*" trick, I'll be annoyed. |

Andrew729 said: And sorry, but I kinda think either Kouichi or Mei is in fact the "Another". To me there haven't been enough possible hints toward anyone else, and there are a lot of suspicious moments in their backstories. But hey, in this episode, who did we have more reason to fear? Kouichi and Mei or their yangire classmates? Sort of a moral in there somewhere. It's been said that the another is here on the mansion. That leaves out reiko. So what's the theories? Aside from the novel spoiler that brain-dead watchers been regurgitating? Despite Misaki knowing who another is, she keep silents, possibly because: -it's someone she cares...but then there's no point grabbing a weapon and fleeing. So she might commit suicide to stop the blood craze, out of guilt. -the another is herself..so it's going to be suicide -she knew who the person, but only later knew that killing said person resolved the curse. So she went to finish the job - yet this won't stop the blood craze..But this being anime and all. -another is a character far from the spotlight but still in the credits. If that happens, that's pretty bad writing since there's no hints or clues of this with the exception of reiko, but she's not here. -Troll path- that after all the blood bath, the another survives and we got a symbolic "U MAD" |
| Fan of mature, dark, non-cutesy school uniformed choked fan service BS anime. |
| Crazy episode. Killings everywhere lolol. Kouichi is pretty damn cool this episode. Standing up for Misaki and saving her whenever she's in danger. Saving her from being stabbed, helping her dodge the crazy girl's knife at the window, etc. And that kick he gave... simply awesome. Hoping for a MeixKouichi ending for the last episode. Is it possible? |
Andrew729 said: Yes, it was pretty over the top, but, we remember the dance scene of course, so the staff are probably Tarantino fans. And Tarantino ain't exactly known for his subtlety. Be that as it may, the scripts that Tarantino writes and directs are meticulously crafted and well executed. Many of his films aestheticize violence, but never compromise his integrity as a writer or director. Contrast that with episode 11 of Another, which was a jumbled mess of chaotically uneven pacing: the scene with Teshigawara at the beginning lasts three minutes and twenty seconds, but the rest of the episode moves by so quickly that it fails to build any suspense. It's a string of bloody deaths, psychopathic facial expressions, and over-the-top dialogue (the students even seem like zombies with their chants of "return the dead to death"). No tension whatsoever. It tried to be a Wham Episode, and failed for three reasons: 1) we've been gradually desensitized to death over the course of series, so making an entire episode centered around multiple deaths isn't going to be particularly impactful in itself, 2) the episode was overdramatic, maybe even to the point of making some of its scenes comedic (not my personal opinion, but I've seen it said here and elsewhere), and 3) the episode essentially neglected the mystery that we've all been waiting on pins and needles to see resolved. |
| So everyone finally became crazy, all thanks to Takako. Crazy episode yet and I can't wait to see what Misaki does... It makes me think that in the ends, no one from Class 3 will make it out to graduation alive. I love the facial expressions here. Looks so Higurashi-like. |

Tsiih said: kelken said: So they try to stop the curse that kills one person a month buy butchering everyone they suspect as the "dead one" which in actuality increases the casualties at a faster rate because they keep hitting and missing...I understand that they're hysterical with fear but I thought at least a few more would be logical about it. "It came from downstairs, let's check it out." BZZZZT! wrong answer XD one scream could be anything, two...I'm out of there! QUESTION! That still wouldn't stop the calamity in succeeding years would it...? Thinking back, yes there was that calamity that was stopped midyear but it occurred again with the current class 3! Is there anyway to stop the calamity for eternity or is it just a yearly thing? hmm i think killing the dead person only stops the calamity for that month. Even though someone died (the extra) no one remembers so it looks like the calamity stopped |
| Probably my favourite episode. Kinda sad this series is ending. |
 |
| WOW! My favorite episode for REAL! |
 Sakoju! |
roy25mustang said: I know that, that's what I meant though. No one knows hence it makes everyone suspicious of her. It's basically the same misgivings Kouichi had before Mei herself answered them. And there's actually no proof to back Mei anymore. She's legally a Misaki now and her mother would deny Mei had a twin sister, let alone the fact Misaki is dead now so you can't just put them side by side as proof. Mei has no evidence to back up her claim so what good would telling them do at this point? At best they'd accuse Kouichi and Mei of lying to evade death.Leon-Gun said: roy25mustang said: No one knows Misaki Mei has a sister. In fact, officially, Misaki Mei has a cousin called Misaki.

They already had reasons to hate her, they were just given the last push. For Mei’s sister Misaki, wasn’t that just explained in the last episode? It said she had a twin sister named Misaki. She, Mei, was given to her mom by her mom’s sister (this is all from memory, so I could be wrong). Takako said that in elementary school there was a girl that looked exactly like Mei, but she didn’t have the eye patch. It was said in this episode that Mei got her’s around the age of 4 (I think Izumi was the one to say that). So the only person it could be was Misaki (Mei’s sister). But no one knows about her sister, so they think that it’s Mei incorrectly. |

| one week isn't enough for me to wait. i want to finish this madness once and for all xD |
| Nope. |
| Yeah it feels like they are rushing the end. It really should be a 24 episode show. I love me some very tsun girls but Mei's reaction to this whole thing could save her and a lot of other people undue problems. Don't know why the people who work at the inn are fucking insane Urgency definitely feels like being chased around in corpse party, which is to say, very good. |
| The chip in my mind, it summons me. I gave my life to your machines. |
Candor said: So basically everything that people have posed logical explanations for already. Got it.gave it a 1, really ruined my night yesterday, they could've make it way better, especially the characters expressions and bring some logic especially to that fire in the dining room |

| Great Episode, When evryone was coming after misaki i was thinking for once in the whole show she would show some ounce of human emotion such as fear in this case but she didnt, she still had the same calm look on her face, well i guess its one of her cooler qualities.....*dance scene in class boggles through mind* |

Telling me to NOT READ, made me READ.....godamnit, no surprises i guess, chiba why would you post something like that even if it was in a spoiler tag, you might as well as posted it in the 1st ep |

| this one reminded me a bit of the shining - big empty hotel closed for the season, except with a whole butt-load of killers instead of one - can't stand the fact there's only one more episode - is misaki really the dead one? i hope not - she's my favorite character....also: comparing this show to higurashi... is just silly (excepting high death count), totally different vibe, different story, and one hell of a lot more built up suspense (a la hitchcock)....i love both series, but they definitely have their own separate thing going.... |

| Awesome episode :D, I love when people snap and go crazy. The only thing I didn't like was that lady who fell out the window landing like that. Would've been better if she just broke her legs and back died a bit more slowly lol. Would've added a bit more horror element. What a stupid way to land. She died pretty quick considering she broke her neck. Other than that lovely episode. As long as Kouich and Mei survive i'm happy. i don't understand why the old lady was taking part either though... haha, it would be funny seeing the librarian dudes reaction when he came back. "OK... so everyone's just killed each other". Honestly, you can't leave people on their own for a few hours at all. lol |

| IMO great episode, I was already missing some brutal scenes in anime since Higurashi and found this anime good enouch to comapare it to Higurashi. I wonder who the extra one is athough I don't think that Misaki keeping her secret about her sister is really bad idea. I mean, she had problems to talk about it with her only friend so why going around and telling everyone about something so unrealistic. That is my view. If I had to tell something wrong about this ep it would be the fact that everything happend really fast. But I don't mind it, generally episode was reaaaaly great. |
| I wonder...I really wonder...If there was a different director of this anime...If it wasn't the one who directed Blood-C, this anime wouldn't be ruined? Whoever wrote the script too...did he/she even think about it properly? Even if it's anime, at least a pound of human behavior should be there? It's just gahhhh...Even if people are desensitized, goggling (widening of eyes) when seeing a stabbed person or scooting away is usually still there. But no...they're all deadpan, no cringing whatsoever. Sigh... |
