The only time I laughed so hard in this loser series(1/10).   I bet he is a girl.  Oh, and Izuki is dead, I was crying so hard, I couldn't go on any longer. :( Just kidding, this was like even the show writers couldn't handle each character.  I would have rated this a 5 if there was a yaoi moment in the series. That's how shitty this show was. And the end. No explanation of the deaths, no resolution, repeat the shit next year. And the Mei x Suckakibara. So cute right? Fuck off both of you. Die in hell for all I care.  Now if you excuse me, I am gonna fap off to this. |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| 1^trashiest post i have ever saw Anw 8/10 it would have been a 9 if i got a good reason on why she didn't say who was the another before so much people died Maybe they did but i missed it if that was the case please tell me |

| 6/10 Had some moments but overall just lacking in real polish |
| OK what the heck was that ending- like why were people being stabbed left and right? For me I enjoyed the first 6 or so episodes, I liked how they built up for the ending and I was really expecting something gruesome but not in a mindless fashion where there are explosions every other minute, there's a murderer, the characters are just basically going insane, and out of nowhere Misaki just decides to tell Sakakibara that she knew all along. Like many other people above has said, this show went from something I took seriously to just purely comical - I was laughing at the show more than I was watching in fear, and that mood change left this anime as one that didn't really know what tone it was going for, which is never good. 8/10- First half great, second half wtf? And if you're still reading this, please take a moment to appreciate this gif. Like this is one of the moments that just made me burst out laughing, like why did they even include this :P |

| damn my theory was right, it was a teacher. but there were way bigger hints that i didnt pick up on, grandpa gave the biggest one of all. didnt even noticed it could've meant she actually died, thought it meant she's been through too much turmoil. i loved the plot and what was going on, but i also found too many holes in it and wrongs. i mean, if everyone knows about it, why did no one try to actually stop it or have news coverage on it? or why not shut down that class, or the entire school? did no parent or family of the kids wonder why there were only kids in that specific class dying? no one could've not noticed that for literally 26 years. im probably being harsh on it, but frankly, my gut goes with a 6/10. |
| Tons of revelation being transmitted in this episode. The curse sided with Kouichi it seems to kill Izumi before she kills him. And lol I thought she died from the fall in the flashback. Aha, now I see why they try to hide from us viewer the 4th rule. That means, all the time their effort to ignore Kouichi is pointless because Mikami/Reiko is not ignoring him. Then again the curse started before Kouichi enter the school. Thus, the right way to nullify the curse is bring the DEAD back to DEATH. What I find weird though is Kouichi is not sad or mad at all in the previous eps when Reiko was stabbed by a student. And they should have examined Mikami's body by a scientist to see if there's anything unusual in her body. The one who killed Reiko looks like Kouichi lol, but he's not wearing that uniform at that time. The bird and the gramps give us a pretty good hint back there. What comes from insignificant character becomes significant. Well played, well played. It sure as hell lifted up the curse, but heavy prices cost this. If Misaki tell them from the start this couldn't have been happened. Well if you just let the curse going on the death would be much fewer I guess, since only 1 death per month I guess? I thought this was a not-so-good ending because they just lift the curse from that year. The next same class as them will suffer the same curse. I was hoping they nullify the curse forever. If by any chance Misaki's or Kouichi's family study at that school in the next year, welp you're finished. I demand Another sequel. rma2002 said: OK what the heck was that ending- like And if you're still reading this, please take a moment to appreciate this gif.

| Enjoyed this anime, 8/10 from me! |
 |
| This was really good anime and one that I couldn't predict the ending. I was gonna give it 7 at start then in the 4-7 ep It went up to 8, but hte last episodes were really good so I give it 9. I disliked OP/ED but at least OP had this horror set up. I don't yet understand about this goodbye mother thing as she was his aunt, but its late and I am sleepy so I think about it tomorrow ;] |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| On balance, it was thrilling exciting and accompanied by high-quality graphics, not regrets for spending time on this, except one thing: I wasn't expecting that amount of blood during whole sereies, I thought it would be like Jigoku shoujo...still I believe it worths watching! |

It started out slowly, maybe a little boring for me, but built up the tension gradually. I was on the edge of my seat by the time it got to the final episode. 8/10 overall. An excellent way to kick-start my horror month challenge! |
| this felt like horror for preschoolers. yikes. 4/10. |
  |
| Mystery was fine overall, but holy moly, how many plot holes, illogical situations/actions they created in last 3 episodes is beyond my understanding. I'm disappointed, it was fun to watch, quite entertaining but last episodes were terrible. |
| Wow! What a plot twist! It wasn't as gory as i expected it to be but i did enjoy the story overall.. Solid 7/10 |
 |
| plot seems intriguing at first with its mysteries but it became stale since they discovered the tape. its not even explained why the incidents keep happening. its not important but it made me care less about the whole thing. its gonna happen again in a few years, who cares. knowing how curious the MC was at first its disappointing how shallow the story is. the last two episodes was poorly made, so many times i feel like they are just dragging the duration by throwing dumb dialogues. it feels like im watching a typical horror movie where i get pissed off a lot at characters who react to things slowly. and its not a good one. |
| Sooo..... Misaki saw the teacher get killed, through her eyes (random asspull) she knows the that the teacher is dead. But somehow, doesn't tell anyone like heyy A FUCKING DEAD LADY is teaching them and she keeps quiet abt it. Tf is wrong with her. Also, like legit, who tf walks calmly on the stairs when their friend just fell from a building. These character are just horribly written without any realistic behaviour. Started slow, but picked up in the middle and ended horribly. Terrible writing towards the end, only the plot twist at the end was good. Else trash. 4/10 and that's being generous |

| Don't we just love how nonchalantly Koichi walks around fucking burning mansion?? mmmhmm that's the spirit ... ''mm everything is burning imma just check my phone for connection now and call Mei'' Mei can you run?? She can miraculously block any deadly attack but run is a big no-no lol Mei and Kouichi were the worst in the last two episodes. Izumi's a red herring, okay, fair.. but she deserved to live more than the others.... The ending is surprising and is unpredecent to all previous cases.. i think it's fair enough, she's been working with class 9-3 after graduating and died then returned as an assistant. But big thanks for telling that other classes don't have a teacher assistant in the very last episode!! WOW that is SO BAD!!! And Mei didn't want to say who's dead because it would hurt MC's feelings? That is so dumb. She had cooler personality in the beginning. Before getting attached to that idiot Koichi. And why hide the CD though? Can the teachers get involved already? It's been 26years of deaths. ------------------------------------------------------------ All in all: The start was great but it tuned out to be lackluster because of the main characters' behaviour. The general idea is interesting. A class fighting the curse by ignoring someone. New class member suddenly joining in and ruining the strategy. It turned out to be logically solid but i dislike how lazily the plot was driven to a gruesome climax and unfullfilling ending. Main peeves: - Mei's silence. For the mystery and and a quick n' easy 'way out' of course. Amd her reasoning in the last two eps, - The main character unreasonably urging to communicate with Mei despite all warnings. Again, it was easier to develop the plot like that and i don't like it. - No explanation of the start of the curse. So why a certain dead person was able to come back one day? - no resolution, no character development, no signs of influence of deaths on town, even no entertaining relationship development. The continuation of stagnation with no guaranty of a better outcome. . . . Minor peeves: - the flow of the last two episodes - I hate the opening with a passion --------------- 6/10 - solid but not good. |

| That ending was pretty meh tbh. Way too many plot holes, way too many conveniences and a rushed and stupid ending. Smh Kouchi and Misaki didn't even progress their relationship. The person above sums up my annoyances really well. |
 |
| Not sure why I enjoyed this on my first watch. Nonsensical show with emotionless characters I don't care about. If I want to watch people going crazy killing each other I'll watch Higurashi again. |
 |
| Whoa I didn’t read all the posts but from what I read it seems like everyone is disappointed from the ending. The anime overall is great I enjoyed watching it and the ending was alright for me, even though I re-watched it and know the ending already. _MaeMae_ said: - No explanation of the start of the curse.

 |
| Wow, that has to be one of the worst most dissatisfying endings I've seen in an anime. Also, HOW TF DO EXPLOSIONS WORK IN THIS SHOW. The random bitch that went into the room and got hit by a point-blank explosion gets out just fucking fine and we see her by the car later, but the window explosion that the mc and eyepatch were next to along with the countermeasure girl ONLY FUCKING HIT 1 PERSON AT ALL. |

| I'm very thoughtful... So basically there was this curse upon students of the 9th grade (3rd room), and for some reason they couldn't avoid it even if they changed the classroom name. The story was very interesting at some points, but I think some characters needed more development and screen time (besides Misaki, Sakaki and Akazawa). The soundtrack was nicely chosen. It's eerie and beautiful at the same time. The ending was the show's peak, with lots of tension, and it was kind of satisfying. I just wish there was more explanations about the event, and about the curse itself. I finished this show in two days, and there's this thing that always happens with this kind of anime... This kind of nostalgia and positive feelings towards it... It's hard to say. I liked Another more than I expected, even though the critics towards it make sense. |
 |
| 9/10 This was really good but I think It lacks Detail, first of all I didn't even know that Reiko is their Teacher. also It will be better if give the other classmates more screentime for the viewers gets more suspects. but overall it is a really great show. I didn't even expected that ending. |
| Dang I really though the chandelier got a quadra-kill lol. Kazami is a complete asshole. How is HE so sure that he isn't the dead guy. That dickhead is on a killing streak. Also Akazawa totally lost her cool in the last episode. She was just bent on killing Misaki. As the head of countermeasures, she should have handled it more logically and atleast known about Misaki's eye power. Also what?!?! |
