Anyway thanks to Yumekichi11 I decided to continue to watch this anime despite knowing what will happen, or what can happen, so I watched this episode. Dancing scene is my favorite. Mei is so cute and reminds me of my friend who also lost left eye due to cancer... So sad... Even if he wasn't close to them you think he'd be at least a little traumatised after |

Even if he wasn't close to them you think he'd be at least a little traumatised after No, I understand you, I just gave you my opinion, since there is no other reason... Although judging by my experience it's not that strange. I mean he saw it, but what can he do. I saw my friend get hit by car, and yes I was traumatized for few days, but after that it just goes away. I mean, there is nothing you can do. Just stay strong. That's how I see it. |

| once again, i must say, best new anime out there! some of the most beautiful and horrifying stuff i've seen since shiki or higurashi - totally in love with mei - what an amazing character! i'm really beginning to believe kouichi may be the dead one or the "another" amongst the living - turns out he's been to the town before.....makes you think...................... can't wait for more!!! |
 |
| The 6th Episode was freakin' awesome. It's getting really better now since a bit of the mystery/ies have/has been already vaguely stated on the episode. Mei does exist. The only thing is who's the dead person? and Who's causing all the curse behind class 3? right? Well, Let's just see. C'MON Episode 7. I wish this show is like aired every 2 days in a week. Judging from the latest preview, I think The teacher will only kill himself. No students will be harmed or anything. I was like "WTF" when the dancing scene was showed. lol but it was cute though. OK, Now Moving onto High School DxD on Feb 17. Yeah. |
migfrii said: Guys, sorry to bother, there's just some things I can't understand, do you mind explaning the last few mins of the anime, starting from the part where the librarian was explaning about the phenomenon (curse) What do you don't understand..? It's quite simple.. As for those who think Kouichi is extra one, he is not, already stated in previous episode discussion... |

| More MeixKouichi please~ >w< I laughed at the dance troll daydream. I'd love that to happen. :3 Teacher dropped a heavy bag on the table, I'd have thought it was a gun. I guess it's just a really heavy knife. I think he'll kill himself. :/ |

He will probably cut himself and then pull out a gun and finish it.... :P Just thinking about it... Anyway it will be gory death :D |

| That dance made me laugh my ass off. But it seems so out of place. |
| it's so sad that mei is pointed to be the non-existent one. now sakakibara joined the club LOL and their relationship increase (woot) eating together, skip class together, walk home together, dance together (LOL). aww that's so romantic the mysteries of his mother's death is going to be revealed. i hope i can follow those words to understand the situation in the end, that homeroom teacher has gone mad. i thought at first when i see his weird walking stance, his expression, and that looked-heavy bag he will commit suicide LOL. but when see the preview he is going to kill everybody. wow gonna be bloody hell next episode. can't wait to it |

He might have killed someone in front of that terrified girl. Also If I remember correctly in preview we also saw blood reaching Kouichi, and we know where he is sitting, and if teacher killed only himself I don't know how blood would reach Kouichi... |
|
| God dammit. I thought the teacher would bring out a machine gun and be all like "Say hello to my little friend!!!" Dancing part was a wtf moment XD |
| In this episode Misaki was like Celty (from Durarara!!!) Sexy in some wierd way. |
| lmao the dancing part caught me off guard wonder who will die next! |

I guess I just like silent types... Although I was getting worried about myself since everyone thought Mei is dead, and liking dead girl is strange :P Dancing part was a nice touch at least to me. I don't think Kouichi thought of it because he likes Mei. He just thought what would happen if they did that, although that pervert smile after that scene tells us different story :D |
|
| So what if Kouichi died at birth at the same time as his mother.. :o? |

It's confusing in my head. That smile after his fantasy was indeed a lil' bit funny. Wuppie said: So what if Kouichi died at birth at the same time as his mother.. :o? Wasn't that the case then? It's the same year anyway, and so I assumed that it was on the same date too. |

It's the same year anyway, and so I assumed that it was on the same date too. Well, It might happen if he really cut aorta, but it's located deep in the body and it starts from heart, I don't believe that is the case. Although It might happen even if he cuts throat, there are many major arteries in that part... And about Mei, I always liked her, but seeing her cute side made me like her even more... And Kouichi is not the dead one, at least that's one someone said on episode 5 topic. Anyway it's still not impossible, since there are some other stories I heard (not intentionally, but some people really like to spoil it)... Also I noticed something in the ending... When they zoom in on Mei, she is there for a while and then she disappears... I don't want that to happen for real, and also she is the only one out of the house... But she looks good in that red dress :3 |
|
| DAT DANCE. Way to troll. |
 |
| @akutasame94 Yeah, I vaguely meant that about the throat/aorta actually, but I forgot to write it down. I'm also getting truly annoyed by those spoilers. Even if they put them in spoiler tags they put half of it outside it. Of course not everyone does that. And I think people who want to read spoilers should read that spoiler topic and not post it here. I hope I did it right, at least I don't know what's going to happen at all. I did noticed that a few weeks ago too about her disappearing, and forgot about it actually. I thought exactly the same before, but I think it was just to mislead us, or so I hope. Now that you're talking about that house: I earlier mentioned in a topic about some eps back that there must be something with that house. I mean, the house in the ending looks like the mansion in the opening, and it didn't appear in the show at all! If I'm right the sort of prologue in episode 1 also showed it. Also, I just re-watched that prologue to check if I was right about the mansion being there and I discovered something amazing, I think rewatching the prologue could be seen as a huge spoiler after having seen these 6 episodes. So if someone sees this as a spoiler even though it was already covered, don't read the spoiler: (I haven't read the manga or LN or whatever so I don't know at all what's going to happen from now on but these things could be true) If you have any reply to it, please put it in spoilers. If someone already mentioned this all in the spoilers, please refer to it. Doumo arigatou~ |
| I smiled from ear to ear when they started dancing. Shit will go down next episode. |
| "You watch too much." "I don't watch enough."  |
| @Ovindel Firstly If what I read is true then I can assure you that you guessed one thing. Which one I will not tell you, since I will spoil it for you. I will definitely rewatch the prologue. I believe that in that mansion we will have final scenes... If you want to get spoiled tell me on my profile and as soon as I see it I will send you PM... You'll see how right you were about some things.... |
|
| @akutasame94 Oh holy god, now I'm getting really nervous and exciting. I'm surprised that I was so right (I think if you say so). On the other hand I'm not that that surprised since especially my second point I made was pretty clear. I'm really curious what that mansion has to do with this all, I think it has an important role. I don't want to know anything at all, I have read enough spoilers accidentally from some shows lately and it's getting quite boring knowing that. Aarghh... I just can't wait anymore, give me the next episode! |
| Still confused about some parts of the whole scenario. The dance scene was awesome though. |
 |
| I thought the teacher had a gun in his bag. The calamity was stopped in the summer of 1983? Hmmm how? |
 Oh wow. |
| That dance just screamed "Pulp Fiction" ton me. Please dance around in class 4real, that was hilarious. That reminded me of this manga where the mc is human and everyone else is a robot so she does things like that but they never even look at her. I wonder why they can't dissolve the class in the future by having all incoming students put in other classes, rendering class 3 an empty class. Teacher goes postal...one of the pros of not sitting near the front lol. If I sit in the front it's near the door so when something goes down, I slide out. Soon as I see that knife...meep meep, roadrunner. This anime isn't in your face scary; the atmosphere and slow, deliberate pacing just raises the tension, it's amazing. That bird is creepy though. |

I think the best the principal can do is to allow Chibiki to be an observer in the old library =p.. Maybe if they change from 1,2,3,4,5 to 1,2,4,5,6. Probably that the num4 will receive the curse lol |

akutasame94 said: Because of some idiots on gogoanime I now know everything. I know who's going to die, who is ghost and it is so sad.... So I am dropping this show since all suspense that was built by now is gone. And It was just getting interesting.... I really hope the ending won't be like I read it will be... Anyway I am so angry and mad that I will spoil you (yes everyone here) WARNING MASSIVE SPOILERS,READ ONLY IF YOU WISH TO KNOW: LOL I know right? Someone did it again in the past few pages, and I'm freaking tired of it. It's funny that you pointed out their "trolling mentality": I-know-now-so-you-should-know-now! thinking. Why can't it just get through their heads??? But then, I guess, thick heads are everywhere. =.= I wish there's serious moderating here like in other site's forums. Anyway, no matter what, I'll still watch the anime. Stories like Another come by quite rarely. |
 "Belief is the death of intelligence." ~Robert Anton Wilson~ |
| It's nice that all questions are getting answered now to make up for the time the class told nothing. The suspense is building up so damn nicely. And Sakakibara x Misaki is my favorite couple this season by far so that makes the suspense even more exciting because I want them to survive and be happy somehow :] 5/5 The only thing I don't understand is how the librarian can deduce who the extra student of the year was if all records and memories about them in class 9-3 go back to "normal" as if the extra student never existed in the class that year. The extra student will go back to being a victim just like every other dead student from 9-3 incidents in the records, there's no way of telling who of them it was. |

Slicer22 said: PaninaManina said: You are a real dick head you know exactly what you were doing when you posted that major spoiler. You know for a fact thats true no way in hell that is guess work you put info that has not even been said in the anime. You either read that from someone else, manga or novel. Well cant help that your a twat but thanks to that damn open spoiler of yours you knocked off some of my enjoyment of the anime but i can get past that. I knew i should of ignored the forum because of idiots like you but i like to know what people thought of the episodes of anime i watch. Either way your still an attention seeking ass. This is ridiculous, outrageous and a shame for you to make such absurd accusations. If you just want to come here after watching the episode and say how you like it, then write and walk away without reading anything. People come here to discuss what they saw and their opinions about what is happening in the series. This is a mystery story, the least people can do here is to try to unravel this mystery. I do NOT read spoilers, I do not want to read spoilers, I'm running away from spoilers. I just watch the episode and think about it, how you are so sure that I said any spoiler here? You know what they are? See an attitude as ridiculous as yours, blaming me for ruining your fun because of your own inability to think for yourself makes me cry. |

seizonsha said: PaninaManina said: Japanese is ambiguous about these details, and subtitles are wrong, fault of Crunchyroll. No one seen to care about check the novel. See this: http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Another:Introduction Another big subtitle screw up happened this episode: The subs read that Chibiki said that Asakura Mami was on the class roster from April to June. The original line was 「ところだが、一昨年の四月から翌三月の間そうじゃなかったのだ。」 or in English "That was the case but during the time from April the year before least until the following March it wasn't.". I actually don't know how you confuse 三月 (sangatsu) and 六月 (rokugatsu), but I'll say he or she was probably stressed out. It's just very annoying in a series like this. Now we have 3 Misaki. Yomiyama Misaki, Fujioka Misaki and Mei Misaki. All are same family? Then Kirika hide something. Probably not. Their family names are Yomiyama, Fujioka and Misaki (you got Mei's name order wrong). In Japanese they are written 夜見山 岬, 藤岡 未咲 and 見崎 鳴 ... so at least they have very different names. Concerning the issue if spoilers are present or not...how about NOT pointing them out? By crying about them you make them even more obvious... Good to know this. |
|
| I'm really enjoying this anime so far, might be my favourite this season. |
| wow, nice episode! i cant believe now i start liking Misaki, she transform from a dumb emo teenager to an awesome cool chick, yay... i almost cried when Misaki step into the art club and everyone greet her... that is sooo touching... and i love when Misaki said to Sakakibara, that she cant hang on any longer if Sakakibara starts ignoring her too... shows that Misaki is a cool chick who doesn't afraid to say that she need friends... and also the dancing scene is hilarious!! |
Another reference, this time Pulp Fiction |
|
| Last time i said why don't they skip the class number to save the next class but someone said that the 4th class will be considered 3rd and so on. So now i am thinking. What if the next year they simply named them green, red, blue and stuff. Basically after colors. There is no logical assumption at what class should be number 3. The dead person will be pretty confused. Maybe they can get away with that. Btw am suspecting that student with the scream like drawing as dead. making such drawings maybe a hint from the author. Also what the hell is with Reiko. As about the 1,5 year talk from his father. Well i guess that means that ether his dead, which i don't understand as being very logical since his father is in India and shouldn't be affected(or can it?) by the curse so why call a dead son? Or it's just shows that he has his memory altered and there is some other clue of him being there 1,5 year ago. |

What's up w/that? Hm, well in ep 3 or 4, Mei said that there are many theories to Misaki's death (26 years ago). I think it also applies to Misaki's gender. Because of the countless retellings and alterations of memories, Misaki's real gender became different than what's handed down by tongue. |
"Belief is the death of intelligence." ~Robert Anton Wilson~ |
| Was a great episode. Some plot points were made a little clearer and the teacher going nutzoid at the end was a big surprise. I thought h was gonna say he was sick or something, but nope. I have my theories about what he's gonna do, but I'll keep them to myself just in case. All in all, I can't wait for the next ep. Best Anime of 2012 thus far, IMO. |

DraconisMarch said: i was really expecting to hate that shit cause i thought it ruin the creepy atmosphere but im in all out ship mode now. i also love how they both really feel like characters now, they seem alot more human now, mei was mysterious and sakakibara was to laid back but now i feel like both of them are very likableAnother great episode. Looks like shit's about to start getting fucked up next episode--Hinamizawa style. I'm glad that crazy dancing was just Kouichi's imagination and didn't actually happen. TOTALLY OOC for Mei.

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| It really starts to hint more and more towards Koichi being the dead student, since he apparently was in the city already too - if only at birth, but also a year and a half ago...? As well, since when are knives so extremely heavy? |: |
| damn is he going to kill him self or a student! |
| I just LOVE cliffhangers! Yay! |
| Anyone here suspects that Mei can also be dead? It was revealed that she lost her eye when she had a near death experience. And if she died there? And that is for this reason that Kiriki makes dolls, to replace his dead daughter? That big doll so similar to Mei in a coffin is quite suggestive. And if Mei is dead and came back with his physical body, only that this body has no left eye because she was buried without him, and in place of the missing eye came the prosthetic eye doll that plays her, or she was buried with that eye? It is even possible. |
