bakacaterpie said: Read the content of this thread above your post. or My earlier post, which pretty much summarises it, for ideas / viewer speculation.I thought this episode was mainly for fan-service, but I was wrong. I wonder why the curse happens even when they are outside the area?!?! |
 |
| Good episode even if they spent more time on the fanservice than the needed to. All i'm gonna add though is that it better not be Sakakibara who is the dead ghost; honestly, i got some relief when Mei and Izumi said it wasn't him so hopefully that turns out to be true because of all the plot twists they could pull that would be the worst one imo. |
 |
| Teshigawara > Akazawa > Kouichi> Mei? Akazawa x Kouichi +1 I was like "SHIT THIS IS GOING TO BE BRUTAL" when I saw the boat coming.. |
| Akazawa x Teshigawara 4 lyf <3 |
 |
| that ep man the i got in touch with my inter blackness. ahhhh shit here we go the storm boy goes in to water were's the sharks ahhhh shit he's knock out see other run after him was like dont go see's boat coming sling HOLY SHIT over all was good ep 10/10 |
belatkuro said: Since people ask so shall people get it! Needs more pictures of Akazawa. And Reiko as well. About the fan service, I see it 2 sides. For one it gives out some good comedy to relief the horrifying stuff from before. For 2 it also can act a s powerful tool to impact more people as the girls die. Now you know that in the OP both of them are in it. So they die. In the list,
 Is my favourite pose of her. Mei to me means a lot. Her skin colour is what I like in girls IRL. Her chest size is also a factor along with her appearance in general. So I can say that I was quite happy and will be quite angry if anything happens to her. As for another reasoning of the fan service other than breasts is to make guys cringe after they see those girls die. It’s a setup that works if you are gullible or not informed ahead of time. Gullible as in infatuated with one of those girls except for Mei. Now just don’t get fooled by it. Still such a waste of bodies and beauty. Well I did not make the mistake. In fact I ROFL all the way of the fan service in this episode TBH. BTW Image Stitches in the spoiler |
| Can I say nice boat? |
| I like how they lull you into a false sense of security with the beach part, I am also liking how tense so many scenes feel because you don't know what's going to happen next. |

Guilty Crown is better than this, and that show's the epitome of shit that's painted to look pretty. 18 minutes of bullshit filler with nothing happening, followed by two minutes of meh plot, ended with a bullshit, avoidable, ridiculous, and illogical death. |

| This episode made me smile multiple times oh gosh why is everyone so moé when suddenly BLOODSHED UNDERWATER this death was rather nicely done, in contrast with the last two |
| Guys, I think reiko has something to do with it. She's been acting weird all the time and when you think about it it makes sense. Especially with the bird. The bird keeps chanting Rei, doushite? Kouichi thinks he is talking about himself but we all know Japanese people tend to shorten names. What if Rei doesn't stand for the bird but for Rei-ko? That explains why reiko hates that bird so much, she is being reminded constantly about the thing she hides. Reiko knows something important, and the bird knows that. Anyone agree? |
| Lol,Reiko minds her age.. |
 |
| At first, I was like 'Oh..a nice thriller..I'm not scared, people dieing. It's only anime.' After episode 4, 'shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii...that elevat- shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii" After episode 8, 'OH MAN U NO SAFE! I'M SCARED! RUN SON! RUN!' After the preview of episode 8, '.......mommy where r u?' |
| Nekomimi~ |
About the preview, I see some people might be confused of its elements. So I made a list going through each one.
My suggestion is to brace oneself for next episode cause I think the slaughter is about to start! And it ain’t looking pretty at all!

| the sense of impending disaster in that episode was nearly too much to bear - it took about 9/10 of the show to pay off - the true definition of suspense - every week is like a new roller coaster ride through hell - love this show!!! |
 |
| Superb animation, but the episode was pretty much unnecessary up to the end, where that guy died, in the most stupid way possible by the way. Why would you go up to the beachball, when it's so far off? I mean, just buy a new one, fuck it. Geez. |
| Mei has something that not many flemale character has... She is creepy in some creepy way. Celty from Durarara!!! has something like that (she has no head and is extremely hot) Now, here is a thought about the episode: They where out of the town so the curse isn't supossed to work, right? But some one died... so either: 1- The curse is getting stronger trought time or... 2-The "Another" was with them and so the curse. |
| I finally found time to watch this episode.... And fuck.... First, why do all 15 year old girls have such big boobs... Even that nerd girl (or at least she reminds me if a nerd), she is just hot... And then we have Mei with small boobs, or at least it looks that way... It's not like I care about that in this anime, but this episode just was all funservice until that last scene.... I couldn't watch it since I witnessed the same thing and I knew what's coming the moment I saw the boat. Looks like curse has nothing to do with a town, but it seems to me that cursed person curses whole town, so my guess is that Reiko (who I still think is the dead one) cursed this town making Yomiyama safe for the day... Also... I really like Akazawa, pretty and sexy (in a cartoony/anime way ofc :D ).... Reiko too, and if she is the dead one, then shit... Also Mei is still the best, and definitely Mei x Kouchi... But I wouldn't mind Izumi x Kouichi too.... I haven't read the manga (waiting for the anime to end to do so) but I've seen few pages... So many differences... If I remember correctly Mei's eye is blue in manga... Also I heard we will get a different ending in anime then in manga... If that is true then it might be worth reading manga... |

| First, let me just say it, I DON'T LIKE THIS EPISODE AT ALL. I mean, the director is clearly trying to incorporate every single element possible into this episode: comedy, fanservice, moe, ecchi, mystery, and of course, the inevitable bloody death of someone. I understand that it's for the suspense purpose, but to me it's just very messy. Especially for certain parts where he tries to blend all of these elements together. If you want to do comedy, just concentrate on comedy. Don't overlay it with creepy music that completely destroys the mood! Oh yeah, and that nice boat ending. Are they trying to parody Final Destination's improbable deaths or something like that for the past episodes? If yes, fuck the writers. Can't they just think up of something more original and natural? The recent deaths made me cringe more than anything else. On the other hand, next episode looks like fun. Perhaps they are finally going to solve all the mysteries once and for all? |
| They thought they would be okay outside the town, seems that they can't be anymore.The clue was left in the classroom years ago, let's see where it could be. |
| good episode, this is another person who is quite irrelevant to the story who has been killed off, i hope next time they kill some one who we actually know |
| @Yumekichi11 I think the lightning death is a flashback to the Yomiyama shrine trip in 1983. Look at the length of the skirt/stockings of the girl in front. akutasame94 said: Even that nerd girl (or at least she reminds me if a nerd) She has glasses, so obviously she's a nerd by default ^_^ |
| Heeh???? Another one died...there was a severed hand there............... And how Matsunaga saved his class from before? What could he had left for them in the school? Ohhh, can't wait to see how this would end!!! |

I mean, the director is clearly trying to incorporate every single element possible into this episode: comedy, fanservice, moe, ecchi, mystery, and of course, the inevitable bloody death of someone. Mei was already moe to begin with, and mystery is what this is all about, and everything should have SOME chuckle moments to lighten the mood, but yeah... that shitty fan service... |

| Well that just proved it that they can die outside of Yomiyama. |
| just knew it someone was gonna die in the water lol damn wonder what will happen next! |
| WTH happened here !!? Looks like the curse does work outside the town |
 |
| Killing someone in a beach episode, epic, Another! |
| UMI DA! So this accident outside the town means none of the rules about the curse can be trusted. No idea how this is going to play out now. |
 |
mp said: It's getting better but I wonder how it will wrap it all up in just 12 episodes? I actually think we're getting close. EP9 is going to be a big one, especially if Matsunaga's cassette tape is revealed to be significant. |
| Well this was a shit episode. Nothing happens until the last minute and then we just find out that some clue was left in the classroom??? And they eat the octopus???!!! It was a lot cuter than the fish man. And the death was bad. |
| I thought this wouldn't be a fan service episode, throughout the ep I thought it was, but the end changed it. Next episode will be blood, thunder and other cool stuff. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| HOLY S***! I thought this was a happy-go-lucky episode, and then bam! Somebody got run over bu a boat and his hand was cut off by the propeller. Trucks kept me thinking, "Are they gonna crash?" Great Episode. I really wish I haven't read the character profiles last month. Somebody just had to put in there who was the "dead person". I hope they remove it soon. Or maybe it was my fault I clicked that spoiler button. |

| Watching this anime is sorta painful for me. Why won't they stop believing this curse&witches bs and start looking for the culprit already? |
| This episode was better than I thought it would be. I thought it was going to be the usual anime beach episode and it was far from it. I really don't remember the boy who died. |
 |

| what a BOWWWRIIINNGG episode... this series drop from 8 at the early episodes, to 7 at last episode, and persoanlly , right now it's 6 for me... and, come on... that death is totally expected! and it seems like nobody gives a fuck if he dies or not, he's just a background character, all we know about him is... he got carsick. From previous episode, judging from the look he's giving to Sakakibara, this guy seems like the one who hates him the most... i expect him to have a better or more memorable personality, so disappointing.. Why cant they kill someone more necessary? like that blonde guy, it would make a bigger impact after a filler-slice-of-life-boring-trying-to-be-cute-but-shocking-beach-episode. it breaks my heart to see a series that has a potential to be epic like this, turns into a complete shit AND I DON'T CARE ABOUT ALL OF THE BORING 543543534667765 MINUTE SCENE OF THEM PLAYING AT THE BEACH... YAYYYY WATERMELON...YAYYYY FISHING COMPETITION AWWW BUT WE'RE ALL SO BAD AT THIS WE DIDN'T CATCH ANYTHING... UUH WAWWWWW BIG FISH OH NOOOO ITS JUST A SEA CUCUMBAR AWWW IT LANDED IN MY HAIR AWWW NOOOO AWWW CUTEEE AWWW VOLLEYBALL MEOW MEOW LALALALA SO FUN XOXO |
| - I felt fucking trolled in the beginning. Although I could sorta tell it wasn't blood. Looked a little too pink. - The tank part made me nervous. I hate sitting in a car and driving by tanks too. It makes me uneasy. - Mei was adorable. - Why did they all have to have huge boobs? - That ending left me with my mouth open. I thought the curse didn't work outside of Yomiyama? |
| Predictable but amazing. Their tits were much larger than expected. Bwahahahaha. Plus. Misaki is so fucking cute. |
| No. |
