mystik said: it was too happy and cheerful with him and Mei. so he already talked to her which is why they couldn't explain it? I was kinda disappointed when the teacher goes nuts but only pulls out a knife? so yeah if I was in Koichi's spot and everyone was going to ignore me anyway...... I'd so troll everybody. dancing in the middle of class is a start. knock stuff over. write on people. it'd be amusing. grab some random girls .... lol hahaha was thinking the same thing :D you ignore me? ok let the fun start *insert evil grin* |
DarthObsidian said: One thing I don't understand is why the original Misaki is male all of a sudden. I'm pretty sure the Misaki from 26 years ago has always been refered to as female. For example, in the opening narration of episode 1, the Misaki from 26 years ago was refered to as "she" and "her". Also, the "poor Reiko" thing was kind of suspicious. 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 Original Misaki ever was a boy. Now we have 3 Misaki. Yomiyama Misaki, Fujioka Misaki and Mei Misaki. All are same family? Then Kirika hide something. |

| What a great episode Sakakibara's daydream was the best. I taught that the teacher had like a bomb or a some type of heavy machine gun but a knife ptthhh. If i was a student there I would work my chair into that teacher's face |

Hmm at that ep (3 or 4?) that Mei told Kouichi about what happened 26 years ago, she'd also said that there are many theories about Misaki's death. I think that line of thought also applies to Yomiyama Misaki. Because of the many theories surrounding him, the storytelling has become somewhat distorted within many years. Adding to that, there's the continuous alteration of memories, so I think that's why the gender of Misaki 26 years ago in the countless retellings became opposite from what's real. ^^ It was a good twist: totally kills the thought of Mei being the Misaki 26 years ago. |
 "Belief is the death of intelligence." ~Robert Anton Wilson~ |
| Speculations Mei has gotten so much cuter now that Kouichi has joined her ranks. Lmfao at that random surprise dance scene, it looked so stupid and didn't fit the mood at all haha. Wth, the teacher came with a knife and he looks like hes gunna go insane. I'll say he's gunna kill a student, don't see him as a person who would suicide for others. |

witchhuntress said: So now we know why Sakakibara isn't affected...because he left for a long time? Hmm Sakakibara's imagination was funny lol. haha yeah when he was dancing with mei I was like "Oh god plz let this not be a daydream." Then it was and I was disappoint. :[ I do love though how they tried to make it seem like sakakibara is the dead one with the whole you were there 1.5 years ago... But now we know that he can't be the dead one because it would be too easy. |

Zyglrox said: Disregard class Acquire Mei At least this protagonist has his priorities straight. Lol. I don't mind the teacher going insane, but i don't know what reason they will use. |
helur said: Zyglrox said: Disregard class Acquire Mei At least this protagonist has his priorities straight. Lol. I don't mind the teacher going insane, but i don't know what reason they will use. Didn't the librarian just say the reason in this episode? He said something about "they made him be the teacher for the class again" So it's probably he's been through the whole thing before, and seen so many die, maybe even his family. So he just can't go through it again and decides to kill himself/the students now. |

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. On a happier note great episode as always and god damn that dance seriously caught me off guard and cracked me up. I have been shipping Kouichi x Mei since near the start and they just keep getting better and better together lets hope it at least ends with them together. |

“I’m glad you stopped me. I was really worried that you really wish that you never met me. I’m glad that I met you. I had a wonderful life. No matter what may await me, please don’t regret meeting me.” - Nagisa Furukawa |
| For some reason Sakakibara really annoys me. The next episode looks really good though. |
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... |
Waiting for: God Eater (PSP) 私が、探偵だからよ。 |
| I really hate to say it but Another is really trying a bit too hard to let us now that it's a horror title. I know setting the mood and all is good, but in this case there's probably too much being done to forcefully make us feel uneasy. So we finally get some normal conversations between the protagonist and Mei, but the end of the episode has to make sure that we receive a Geass-like cliffhanger with the teacher randomly pulling a knife out at everyone. |
 |
| Another great episode can't wait till next week. DarthObsidian said: Also, the "poor Reiko" thing was kind of suspicious. Agree, I bet my money on she's the dead one or something to do with it. |
Ardamaeus said: Madcat_Zam said: I thought it's illegal to own a gun in Japan. That's why you hear people over there go on rampages with knives. Lol, and a teacher bringing a weapon to school is not illegal? I think madcat want to say it is difficult to bought a gun in Japan,so knife is a easier option for them to use for killing. |
| Signature Removed |
| Yeah. |
| I wonder if the teacher's gonna take down a few with him when he goes...(hope so). Mei's looking so cute now. I'm really starting to like her most. Sakakibara's kinda slow, and I don't know about everyone else yet. The librarian's not bad. I'm glad we got the backstory. ^^ |
| Sakakibara imagination was really a surprise lol I really like this episode, can't wait for next ep |
| LOLOLOLOL AT SAKAKIBARA'S DAYDREAM DANCING WITH MEI but they still make a very nice couple, hope it ends up that way :) when i saw the teacher zombie-walking down the hallway, i was like WTF?! then watching him grabbing into the bag while preaching nonsense, i though he was gonna go school days beast-mode and pull "someone" out :S |
 <img src="http://i47.tinypic.com/2mw85l2.jpg" /> |
| Thought he was about to pull out a gun, I was wrong. It was a knife ;o |
| Interesting episode. Really think anything pointing to Kouichi being the one that shouldn't be there is a misdirection. It's happened every year for 26 years and, apparently, from the start of the year. Why would this year be because someone just randomly transferred in? Then again the numbers were correct before he showed up? So he could be it or it could be something else. Don't know yet. As for the ignoring thing. It sucks but I'm of two minds about it now. It's obviously not fool proof but if it saves lives then it's not totally a bad thing. On the other hand acting like someone doesn't exist is a horrible thing I wouldn't want to wish on anyone. I would take up the role myself, at least I hope I could, but I'd never want to force it on to someone else. Anyway, really starting to enjoy the series. The first three episodes were little short of a uninteresting drag but four, five, and six have been really good and only getting better. Looking forward to the next one. |
| Kouichi's conversation on the phone with his father is eating me up. The content and the fact that it dropped. |
| LOOL everyone's gone curaaaaaaaazy |
| i think i just found my new forum Gif. I liked the relationship progression with the two but it seems a little too fast and nice im thinking foreshadowing. |
 |
| lol teacher going nuts^^ |
 |
| The dance was awesome lol |
 |
| Among all the things, what surprised me the most is that Misaki is a BOY! :O That's just too unexpected. |
| I have a bad feeling about the teacher. What I mean by that is - what ever happens, it's probably going to be stupid. If he's just going to kill himself - why the hell do it at school and with a knife of all things. If he just randomly starts killing his students - wth? |
| Whenever you correct someone's grammar just remember that nobody likes you. |
anime_addiction4 said: The red haired girl was trying to figure out whether Kouchi was dead or not by giving the handshake? At the same time, they told us that the "dead" has a human body. What? I don't get it. A "dead" person has "cold" hands. I think Izumi said this in the episode. It's a little strange, I know, but I suppose a "dead" person can have a physical form or body. Sort of like a zombie. |
anime_addiction4 said: So...It doesn't make any sense to me. The librarian guy told to Kouchi and Mei that those who are living in this town - Yomiyama - are in risk of being killed by the curse and; therefore, by moving away will make them safe. He even gave the cell phone as the example. So why the hell are they doing in this town? Just move to another town instead of picking up a random guy and treat him as non-existing, which doesn't always work - 50/50. Back to the episode 1 the scene in the hospital. The red haired girl was trying to figure out whether Kouchi was dead or not by giving the handshake? At the same time, they told us that the "dead" has a human body. What? I don't get it. You expect everyone in the class and their family to just pick up and leave town? Easier said then done. The families often times don't even find out till after the fact and who is just going to pick up and move at the world of a 9th grader, if they even talked about it. Not sure they actually can. There's other things like ties to where you live and stuff involved as well. A lot of people are born, live, and die in the same area. It's not really that strange. Some people during disasters refuse to leave their homes even if they know it will cost them their lives. As for the handshake, don't know, but from what was said I guess she at least expected that the dead person would be cold to the touch. She said he wasn't, right? So, she figured he was fine. |
Despite the episode being excellent and I can’t deny the MOE of Mei in the following, Among the many of her in the spoiler About Mei/Kouichi, essentially a huge boost in romance. From the walking around at night here to Kouichi saying something as personal as his mother dying at birth was quite surprising of the amount of trust he shows. I did like seeing him here of his expression while another good show of Mei’s face here in comparison to Kouichi. It kind of showed her feelings more. The Parc incident in the spoiler Mei sitting at her desk looking at the window was nice. I got to admit that the I loved a lot the eating part in the spoiler I still have to admit I am quite surprised and pleased of the Mei’s smiles in the spoiler About Mei’s mother, I am surprised not many mention of Mei’s mother. She is one hot MILF in the following,  Along with the variations that are shown of her in the spoiler Theory Time! Somethings to think about in the list:
About thee end, it’s obvious that the teacher here does not looks stable at all. In fact he looks distressed here. So next episode I think he is going to mass go nuts. About the preview, oops too late! According to the spoiler BTW 2 GIFs to share of insane teacher and poor girl going crazy in the spoiler Rest in club: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=402751 |
| 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: |

| I see blood in the preview. Can't wait to see the next episode already! |
| THAT fantasy of Sakakibara was kind of a lame joke, but I still had to laugh because of it. I expected something was going to happen with one of the teachers sooner of later, but not this. I'm sure someone will die as the preview clearly stated that with all that blood splattering. For some reason I thought he was going to get a gun and not a knife, but a knife fits a horror show better and I actually don't care a bit. @Yumekichi11 The thing Mei's mother is holding in her hands is obviously that hat thingy. |
Ovindel said: Oh my mistake, I though it was something else.@Yumekichi11 The thing Mei's mother is holding in her hands is obviously that hat thingy. |
| Why have a class 3? Why not just have larger classes of the others and leave that class empty... Also why does the main character seem to not care whenever someone he knows dies? |

glitchhunter said: Why have a class 3? Why not just have larger classes of the others and leave that class empty... Also why does the main character seem to not care whenever someone he knows dies? Maybe because he has not been with them too long and doesn't know them well. Although I am pretty sure he would care about Mei. 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... |
