Okay, that one goes to you but we never learned why the extra one appeared or did I miss it? I know the Misaki stuff from 26 years ago but you can't tell me that it keeps going without a reason and what exactly the extra one does to cause the deaths besides him being there and if the extra one is specifically chosen.

My thoughts:
- It's Sakakibara
- It's Sakakibara's other crazy image from one of his nightmares, remember it?
- It's someone we don't know
- If we assume your suggestion, a possessed random student
- Possessed Sakakibara = crazy Sakakibara (?)

And I agree, that smile indicates nothing good, I hate these endings. Is it the same in the novel?

Yes we do, it's be taken as a self reflection but the extra one is always there to be used to target other ones who are alive and not dead like the extra one. The evil spirit FOOLED THEM! IMO it learned from the last stopping of the calamity to use someone else than a student.

Paranormally? It's hard to explain. Only explanation can be religious in this. Best and easy one is using paranormal means such telekinesis or weather manipulation. Anything that is paranormal like the wind or sudden muscle seizure at the right time. The possibilities of a crazy evil spirit are endless in its quench for revenge.

The only reasons it keeps on going is that the evil shit thinks it must kill endlessly till it is satisfied. We don't know when that may be. Maybe never.

My thoughts:
- It's Sakakibara
Might be him as the next target based on the whole sudden lung problem at the end. I see no gain in the evil shit to take control of him.
Zhou said:

NO! The setting is real time I think not dream like less next chapter may mention something of it.
Zhou said:
- It's someone we don't know
We don't know for sure the person Chibiki even mentions in the anime so I hope it gets revealed.

Could be but it could be the real form of that ghost.

If he really is.

NO! Novel mentions Mei being dead.

Great ending but not as memorable as ano natsu de matteru's ending.

I wish akazawa wouldn't had died but anyways atleast Teshigawara & Mochizuki are alive.

By the way didn't the other person who stopped the calamity killed a guy.So I never expected it to be a girl this time or maybe they messed up here.Anyways great ending,9/10.

Sh*t. Got Mindfucked on this last episode. I am not following the manga so i don't know what's happening and such in the manga when i'm currently watching the series.

So... can anybody explain what happened? Reiko is Kouichi's aunt right and during the first few episodes, she keeps on appearing on the anime but why is it that since Ms Mikami who was killed by a stranger who looks like kouchi (Take a closer look) that took place a year and a half ago (which means that it's before when kouchi transferred to yomiyama north) keeps on appearing? LOL total MindF*ck lol How did she even took a soul to live? What?? This is really madness...... >.< So this means that Mikami sensei wasn't even seen by the students through the whole serie? But why it's his aunt or whatever he called Reiko for?

How can even Reiko live if she already died a few years ago in the first place? lol So many unanswered questions, So....Are Kouchi and Mei the only two who can see Reiko in the first place?

However, The series did a very good job on it. I'll rate it a perfect ten for the final one. Best shot this Winter of 2012 along with High SChool DxD. I hope to see a sequel soon if there is.

WOW!!! Is it over?? We might get a sequel, after all they left a tape for the next class.

I was expecting a blood bath considering what had happened in the previous episode, so those last 10 minutes I was thinking that it would start again soon.

I had seen some spoilers so it didn't surprise me that is was Reiko, but I was hoping it would be a different person but since I had no idea she was also the teacher I was still surprised.

Great anime! 9/10. Had I not seen seen the spoilers I might have given it a 10 but it felt a little anti-climatic.

I would rate it 9/10 if they actually explained the calamity and why/how it happens.


:D yes that would be lovely to have an explanation. I don't remember where but I think there's going to be an OVA? I think on it was on AnimeList? D: gah it's a really foggy memory

Eh. The ending was...alright. I felt that the way they introduced
was totally lolwtfrandom. Yes, I'm sure that was the aim, but they could've at least built up to it or given some signs or implications, none of which there were.

Overall, it was still a good series. 9/10 overall.

Edit: Oh, and to be honest, I also think a sequel to this would be kind of awkward. I mean...everything is pretty much tied up. Somehow, I don't think an "After Story" of Another where Sakakibara and Misaki have a baby or something would go very well ;P

It was decent for what it was. I usually don't watch stuff like this but is was definitely interesting.

As for a sequel, most horror novels at most have spin offs with some tie-ins. The students won't be in class three after this year. It could still be cool but it would have to work hard to really be as interesting again.

As some of questioned Mei and her smile at the end. I think you're looking into it too much. I think it was just a smile.

Late as always I am... Great post as always...

Good explanation (I was a little worried about this) I would analyse this episode and entire show, but Yumekichi did more than enough. I was right about Reiko being the dead one. Also I am glad Mei lives...

Few things made me go to rage mode...

Akazawa hitting Mei (Mostly because of Mei's face - so cute),
Akazawa dying in Kouichi's hands,
explosion moving Akazawa's dead body like that,
that crazy dude staying alive
.
.
AND MOSTLY THAT WE GOT TROLLED IN THE END... THAT SMILE (although I don't see a meaning in it, explaining why would take time so bear with me) IS... AS I SAID I SEE NO MEANING BEHIND IT, BUT MY EXPERIENCE IN DRAWING AND WATCHING/READING ANIME/MANGA TELLS ME OTHERWISE. WE USUALLY DRAW THESE SMILES WHEN WE WANT TO FORESHADOW SOMETHING, TO HINT FOLLOWING EVENTS. AND THIS MIGHT BE TRUE BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT I READ:

we are now for sure there will be a spin-off for novel Another: episode S
and a sequel novel simply called Another 2
no im seriously the author told so
oh and 1 march they released the light novel serie (the same as novel but then with illustrations)
idk about manga or anime so yeah…BUT I HOPE THERE WILL BE!!!



If there is going to be season 2 I will not watch it unless Mei and Kouichi are not in it (and now I hope there is a meaning behind Mei's final smile)

P.S. Also notice Mei's eyes when she smiles, they are kind of cold, worried, little evil.

Also shortest explanation why I don't see meaning behind her smile... I don't remember that guy getting possessed by spirit after he killed it...

Are you referring to that guy on the bed or someone else? As no one in that rooms looks like Kazami Tomohiko. Or I must be blind. That guy on the bed has bigger eyes than Kazami. Maybe they managed to save other ones while the shit was going on inside with Akazawa, Mei and Sakakibara.

I'm pretty happy with how it ended. The class got trimmed down quite a bit in the end, but the ones I wanted to survive, did. So no complaints there. All in all, the craziness of the last few episodes made a nice contrast to the slow start of the series.

9/10 for me. It was the anime I looked forward to the most each week, and it always delivered a good thrill.

Very nicely seen. Is there anything you can say of the sudden eye change too?

Manga is supposed to be almost done and Novel is just same as original except with added stuff and new illustrations. Another 2 I think is anime only, not sure if LN will be out because that would mean anime to wait for it to be released. If things go well during summer/spring than maybe Fall 2012 we may have Another 2 with no LN just the anime starts it up. Else you have to wait veryyyyyyyy long for LN to finish.
akutasame94 said:

Kouichi will be in it and Mei too but the thing is that Mei will be a problem to deal with. She might be the next extra, cause the evil spirit got her now! It got smarter and got what only thing that can detect its plans.
akutasame94 said:

They are? Might want to make a comparing based on some pics I took of my original post? I would like to see your take on that one.
akutasame94 said:

Because the spirit would have no gain in getting him. He was just normal. Mei has that eye and it wants it as to not be detected. It's a win win situation for that EVIL SHIT! Cause while it has power over Mei, if it needs to it will kill her and either it's in his interest. They may finish off Another 2 by killing Mei/Kouichi indeed. Cause the LN has Mei dead.

Yeah the guy on the bed is Kazami with no glasses IMO. I checked many time. It looks like him big time + he has chest wound. I think he got that one too.

Maybe he time traveled, and a future version of himself killed her.
Or maybe, he is a serial killer and secretly kills people on his free time, and by some unexplained reason he forgot that he was a killer, and became a completely different persona.
Or maybe it isn't even him at all.

We will never know unless if they explain it in the OVA.

Very well... I'll take these two pictures...



We have this kind of look usually with evil characters. They give that look only when they are hiding something or planing to do something (I actually thought she might hug him, or kiss him). But it can also mean that she is really seriously thinking about Kouichi's words. Although I think it's not likely... Anyway compare it with this classic evil character face



Same expression or am I blind? Eyes are pretty similar, pupil in the corners, kind of narrow...

As for the smile itself:



We usually see these eyes when someone realizes that other one has no idea about their plans.Like they know something no one else does. Smile itself looks normal but in combination with facial expression we get something similar to this:



We can see that their eyes are similar, eyelids half way down, kind of caring, but not in a good way... I might be imagining stuff since I suffer from insomnia (for those who do not know I am having trouble with sleep), meaning I get 3 hours of sleep at most during the night. Anyway enough to get me through day...

I agree, you don't show those eyes to a friend and especially not after you survived shit like the calamity. I think Yumekichi is right with Mei being possessed (if the evil ghost exists), something is wrong with her and probably leading to some kind of continuation.

Or maybe this...

There is only one thing I don't understand. The whole deal about Mei's eye is weird... How can she see the color if it's fake, in fact how can she see anything? Ok supernatural, but how can she move it left and right?

As for her being able to remember Reiko's death. It was probably possible because she witnessed her being killed, which might also have to do with her eye. That brings me to theory that she might be possessed by her sisters spirit, but unlike Reiko they can co-exist and that's why she was able to remember and why her eye has power. If not possessed than her sisters death had to do something with Mei's power, maybe her sisters spirit gave her that power to protect her?

I liked the show gave it a 10, but there is one thing that really shouldn't have been absent... Mei and Kouichi never thought "what if we are next?" Living with that is not as easy as shown in anime. So absence of that fear is kind of dumb...


I just won't believe Mei is evil even though I am helping to prove it...

Doesn't sound bad but we can't say anything for sure (which sucks). I remembered that Kirika's daughter died during the pregnancy, maybe Misaki got her ability from her, maybe the ghost of the unborn child somehow follows her.

Thanks to my urge of getting spoilers. I already knew the dead one right off episode 1 so yeah, not surprised. Just wanted to see how people would actually die and I laughed so hard on the first few minutes. Christ, that was comedy gold deaths.

If there's anything I cared for this episode, it's Akazawa. Ugh, I still hated the idea she had to die, while the others survive and Kouichi instead of being a considerate gentleman with a dying girl on his hands, just went full retard and add insult to a fatal injury. 10/10 Kouichi, I'm very mad.

Overall, 7/10 at best.

Ok so the anime has ended, but it does left us with a couple of questions, such as:

-If Reiko died a year ago, then who is that lady living her life as a teacher and a Kouichi's aunt?

-If Kouichi did came to the placea year and a half ago, then how come he doen't remember that he has been to the place a year and a half earlier.

-How come, it is only lately that Mei have the power to see who the once dead?

- And who exactly were these "Extras" are and why do they bring such jinx along with them if ever they are ghost who can manifest physically as normal living persons?

it’s all because she’s a shisha,
let’s say i killed you 3 seconds ago,

you’re next year shisha, and i’m in the cursed class next year

the moment you’re ”summoned” and became the ”extra”, i’d forget that i killed you 1 year ago, and your family & friends would all think that you’re still alive, you did not die, and you’ve always been with them for the past ”1 year”, when you’re supposed to be dead.

it would be far more easier and yeah DjoxyAE says there is ghost in the manga. Which proves all I needed to prove.

I don't think it was a ghost, I don't know how to insert the spoiler button so I won't spoil it but check the last two pages of chapter 20. I have no idea what's that supposed to mean.
And Misaki's smile at the end is super suspicious, gives one the creeps.


In manga that someone. ghost or whatever, is the one who wrote the note "Who is the dead one" on the table of Misaki. Remember when Kouichi ask Mei who wrote that? when he visited Mei on her house(Episode 7 i guess) Mei said that she wrote that but she lied.

Ok so the anime has ended, but it does left us with a couple of questions, such as:

-If Reiko died a year ago, then who is that lady living her life as a teacher and a Kouichi's aunt?

-If Kouichi did came to the placea year and a half ago, then how come he doen't remember that he has been to the place a year and a half earlier.

-How come, it is only lately that Mei have the power to see who the once dead?

- And who exactly were these "Extras" are and why do they bring such jinx along with them if ever they are ghost who can manifest physically as normal living persons?


1. It's the same teacher and aunt of Kouichi no more no less. It's just like a time machine where Reiko/Mikami-sensei is back from the time when she was still alive living as a teacher, her memories being dead are altered in such a way because of the curse that is lifted upon joining the Class 3-3.
2.As I said being a part of Class 3-3 your memories are altered that involves the dead one just like his memories visiting the funeral of his Aunt Reiko because the dead one in that year is his Aunt and his Assistant homeroom teacher.
3.It's not late, she is just not sure about who could it be and she forbids herself on seeing things with her doll's eye that's why she covers that eye even in class.
4.There can only be one "Extra" or "Dead one" cause only one desk is missing including the desk in the staff room and if the curse has started there's no stopping it but they found a way to stop it and that is to kill the "Dead one" and send that one back to death.

Refer to this image below for some clarifications of Reiko/Mikami-sensei being the "Another" that year:

Great!

I know that Reiko was murdered 1,5 year ago by a student because of the "phenomenon" but I want to know why he killed her?

Maybe because they also found out that in order to save the class they must kill who the "Dead one" is and go rampant and kill each other just like the class of Kouichi and Mei.

It was good comedy. Horror/thriller not so much. Anyway 8/10 for interesting death moments and that MC and Mei survived.

nothing was really solved is there....they were able to stopped the calamity that year but so many had already died!!!!!

I give this anime 4 out 5, because they didn't really find a way to stop the class 3's phenomenon they only stopped the calamity in that year but it will happen again every year it will never stop!!!

And why did Reiko died when she was still alive and who killed her i know it was a man but who and why

I saw and I am telling you, that's the person there. It's not human, no way. It's a monstrous abomination that wants to kill as a endless revenge.

My thoughts:
- It's Sakakibara
- It's Sakakibara's other crazy image from one of his nightmares, remember it?
- It's someone we don't know
- If we assume your suggestion, a possessed random student
- Possessed Sakakibara = crazy Sakakibara (?)

And I agree, that smile indicates nothing good, I hate these endings. Is it the same in the novel?


There's some forum I read, they said that it is Sakakibara who wrote that but he just couldn't remember it and Misaki lied to him by saying that she is the one who wrote the note "Who is Dead?" they based it on the novel so yeah it is not indicated on the manga.
It was shown in episode 6 I think or 7 when Kouichi ask Mei if she wrote that and said yes. But the truth is she didn't.

About Kazami Tomohiko, there surely SOMETHING FUCKING WRONG WITH THE STAFF OF THIS ANIME! WTF is up with him in the following,

Many may wonder? Well he is alive and I WANTED HIM DEAD! HE IS FUCKING SICK IN THE HEAD! SICK LIKE SHIT! Let me remind what this fucko did by order of MY RAGE!


Yumekichi, that's not even Kazami, it's Maeshima. Kazami definitely died.
You sure, it looks like Kazami with no glasses.


Best proof that this is Maeshima is his hair, especially the front part...

<img src="http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120304121048/another/images/d/da/Maeshima.jpg" />
GOT IT! Changed my thoughts but he still looks like Kazami. Aaaaarght! Got tricked! Regardless I still think what he did is how I think of him. Guess the concussion really got him from Izumi.
