Kurimu-chan said: There were so many hints.You know, I never realized that the teacher was Reiko herself. ..... ._____. Like the episode where Reiko had a massive headache. The next ep Mikami is suddenly absent because "she didn't feel well". Tons of other clues too. Thing is, most people were skeptical because Mikami and Reiko had different seiyuus. That was just the authors trying to cleverly hide the truth though. Afterall, if they had the same seiyuus it would be much easier to tell who the 'another' is.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't him, but again its always the same with these kinds of stories, most prevalent in the harem genre, that the main protagonist doesn't remember that he was there before. So I really felt sorry for Izumi, she was one of my favorites but had she not died then Mei and Kouichi wouldn't have ended together. |

Kurimu-chan said: So, wait, they NEVER told us that the teacher was Reiko? Nope! ^_^ |
| Eh, I guess I'm the only one that thought they went stupidly overboard over the past two episodes. Akazawa's death was retarded for the fact that she got stuck like a pin cushion to a table and Kouichi and Misaki didn't have a scratch yet they were only two feet away. The characters still acted completely stupid and irrational. Blue haired kid took his turn to go psycho slasher. Decent start to the series. The overall premise seemed to be a good one. But as it went on, The story regressed into a second rate forgettable slasher horror flick, with nonsensical character actions and farfetched death sequences. The show reminded me way too much of C rated movies you'd see on SciFi/SyFy and that's not a good thing in my book. I wanted this show to succeed. I really did. I thought it could be something of a thriller suspense with scary elements. It just turned comical toward the end. It was seriously disappointing for me. ----------------------------- BTW, I'm always one to get annoyed at people who always go "the manga was better." But in this case it really is. It's like two completely different stories. You should definitely check it out. |

| I loved to watch this show each and every week. Too bad some assholes already spoiled the fact about Mikami being Reiko and she being the dead one. Well what can you do? I kinda wished that Sakakibara would have let Reiko live, poor thing ; _ ; Awesome show, almost a 10. But I'll go with 9/10. EDIT: Why is this still an "airing" anime? |

It's like two completely different stories. You should definitely check it out. The anime felt like it forced the mystery of who the 'another' is. They intentionally left out scenes from the manga which makes it seem as if the mystery itself was weak. The whole reveal at the end of this ep felt like an asspull. A cheap trick to misdirect viewers earlier on in the series. A true mystery doesn't need to leave out scenes in order to reveal it. |
|
| Oh i see. They were so similar that i thought it was him. Then it all makes sense ^^ Nice show and a cool last ep. |
 |
| Now that it ended my mondays are gonna a lot more boring.. I definitely loved this (and will continue loving it of course), 10/10 from me~ There just wasn't anything that I didn't like. Great music, animation, characters, plot, atmosphere etc. About the ep... I liked that ending, otp feelings hnnnggg. |
 |
| 5/10. |
| 9/10 that was fantastic. I expected the teacher to be the extra so I wasn't disappointed. I liked all the character development. |
| SUPERB Anime! *___* 10/10, and goes to my favorites. Sad for Akazawa... And think she suits Kouichi better than Misaki. Most of the deaths were female, the must be almost no girls in class 3 now. Hope we get a sequel soon! |

justinas said: Seriously?Just one question - when did Reiko come back to life and how nobody remembered that she died? o_O Did you even watch the earlier eps? |
|
justinas said: Just one question - when did Reiko come back to life and how nobody remembered that she died? o_O That's part of the calamity, no one knows she's the dead, so no one knows about her death. And when she's dead again, people will forget about her. Anyways, I thought the calamity manager was it.. the dead was a bit far-fetched, you'd expect a more.. normal character (a student) |
justinas said: Just one question - when did Reiko come back to life and how nobody remembered that she died? o_O That's what happens when someone becomes the another.. :'] Seems like a lot of people were right about the dead one, I really thought Akazawa was the dead one though xD Still I'm overjoyed that Teshigawara is still alive XDDD he was my favorite character after all :'] Loved the series! |
| This episode made me sure that I truly hate Akazawa. Her death scene was epic xD Didn't expect that Reiko and Mikami was the same person but I think it was a good way to end this great anime. 10/10 |
ichigo03 said: Akazawa dying was NOT sad since she had turned into a crazy bitch, and she had been a huge bitch throughout the series so I really don't care that she died. 100% agree |
| 8/10 or 9/10 overall for this series. Really enjoyed it, but then again I might be jaded by it being the only decent series in a season that was an utter pile of shit with such "fine specimens" as Nisemonogatari, Mirai Nikki and Black Rock Shooter stinking it up. |
| Good start, weak middle, awesome Ep 10-11, weak finale. Disappointed, 5/10. |
| Loved it. Great everything. I don't even need to go into a big speech about how much I loved it. It was just a wonderful experience that I never really have tied with such a short series before. It's sad that it is now over, but all good things must come to an end. |
| Good episode,its over. Great way to end the anime,at first there were some nice death i really lol when that guy survive the chandelier then he run to the door and get own by a pillar....that made me laugh hard!! I knew that was Reiko it was kinda obvious if you look all the clues they give about her,still kinda sad that she die and specially in the hands of Sakakibara. So sad that Izumi died....specially that way,i really like her a lot but she kinda needed to die so MeixSakakibara work without problems,still got teary when she remember about their meeting and when she said "You should have say even that you didnt remember"....goodbye Izumi-chan At the end we got a obvious MeixSakakibara scenes were hearthwarming after so many shit,Mei smile makes everything be ok....going to miss her. They live a disc to tell the next generation about the curse...it will never stop...never. It was a great episode,good characters,the story was good,the music was great and there was many deaths and me being a sucker for terror/mystery genre i must say i enjoy it quite a lot,without a doubt 9/10 for me going to miss my weekly terror...cant wait for next season many mystery animes incoming YA!!!  |
| That was pretty crazy. Thanks to spoilers, I knew who the dead one was. But I didn't know that it was also Reiko so that's pretty crazy. Good series. I enjoyed it, but there were inconsistencies in certain areas. I give it an 8/10 for a great show, but disorganized climax and kind of random dead person. |

| Whenever you correct someone's grammar just remember that nobody likes you. |
| dam, that was tense, overall id give this anime a 8.5/10, it kept me interested and it was a nice horror anime, i felt sorry for reiko and akazawa for dying, i never would of thought reiko was another i wonder if they will make a new season with different characters, telling how they dealt with the curse and maybe how to stop the curse once and for all |
 |
| Great last episode. Overall a quite enjoyable anime. |
| It was awesome! Too bad it's over now :( I'll give it 9/10 because it didn't bore me :) |
| One of my friends and I had discussed the possibility of it being Reiko, but had dismissed that as a mere joke. Can't believe it turned out to be her. Great show, so glad I kept watching it while it was running. |
 |
| Interesting show and ending. Hilarious deaths yet again. I'm glad the class leader bitch-girl died. Hated her so much. She even tried to kill Mei because of glasses-girl! And i love how Sakakibara killed his aunt. Twice at that. Dat grin: |

| I had hard time deciding 9/10 or 10/10 .. but 10/10 .. no specific reason.. i rate by how i feel about anime not analyze every freaking detail.. not like damn detail lunatic.. i loved anime and i can score by feeling how i felt about anime so.. i decided 10/10 Very unexpected that Reiko was extra one T_T ... R.I.P ..and yeah dead stayed dead. i kinda hoped that time would reset and all would be alive again only reiko is gone and calamity ends. |

lobkestar said: Can someone give me a big explanation of the whole episode? I want to know if I understood everything. What happened: People still killing each other, Misaki knows that it's Reiko, who by the way, is the same as Ms. Mikami. This correlation was never explained until the flashbacks shown in the episode with the grandparents, reiko herself, and the parrot saying it. Reiko died a year and a half ago in the anime by an unknown assailant, and for the funeral, Sakakibara came over during the time for the funeral, and happened to run into Akazawa, who was grieving over the loss of her cousin at the time. But since Reiko became "Another," Sakakibara lost his memories of his time being there since he attended the funeral, Akazawa, however, did not attend the funeral thus why she remembers meeting Sakakibara. And everyone was happy. |
| It kind of bugs me that this episode they revealed they had the right number of desks for students this year. Misaki says so. Why did no one question this at all? Why was this never brought up before the final episode? Also, kind of disappointed that Reiko was just kind of killed with no discussion. You'd think Sakakibara would have tried to get her to remember or something so she would accept it or something. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted (although spoilers caught me last week-damn!) |
| Too bad it's over now :( I'll give this a 9/10 because it didn't bore me. Is it my pc or does the poll fail? |
Mei waited for so long because she wanted to get rid of the competition. Hence the rape face at the end. "take me, Sakakibara-kun" |
