| i just finished watching another episode, that first part didn't fool me though, obvious troll is obvious that guy died in a horrible way, though it wasn't as gruesome as that teacher suicide death that came out of nowhere, i think that student getting minced in the boat engine is a lot worse but they didn't show much of the blood and gore like last episode but what does this mean? i thought the curse can only activate when you are inside the town, does this mean they are no longer safe no matter where they are, or maybe it activated because they were getting closer to stopping it, dam that's freaky by the way is it just me or is izumi starting to take an interest in kouichi? it seemed like she was trying to get closer to him in this episode |
 |
| I have loved this serie from the beginning. Every episode is interesting and I just can't wait a week to see next one. This episode is not an exception, because I think it was nice to see characters outside of school, having fun and there was zero percent fanservice, I'm so used to see beach episodes what are full of girls who want to show themselves to boys and boys only talk about the girls. So this was really nice episode. They just fooled me and I believed that there will be no killing this time. I was so happy with them. I'm not sad, that I was wrong and I'm happy that the character wasn't important to me. And cause of the end I'm waiting that I will see how they will deal with this. Maybe this kill will be the start for the real chase for the killer. Yeah, I believe there is someone who kills them, no curse. But I can be wrong. |
| Well this episode obviously didn't have the usual vibe to it, until the end that is. But lets get real here, the dude was literally asking for it. Comn it's like even they knew that he was gonna die and they were just sitting there and waiting for it to happen. It was that expected. I actually found it rather funny. An pretty good episode tho. 4/5 |
| For some strange reason, I always find the girl with glasses creepy. Even more so than Mei. Mei looks very cute in this episode btw. She was actually scared of the octopus lol. |
nathanr said: Because it is a curse. Or do you really think one criminal mastermind can somehow make someone trip from a flight of stairs into an umbrella, make an elevator fall, drive a teacher into suicide, give an student a heart attack and make the wind throw a ball far out to sea in order to make an student go for the ball and get rammed by a speedboat? I admit some of those parts are very man-made but a lot have been proven to be complete accidents without human intervention. As such, 1 time is a coincidence, two times is a fluke, 3 times it starts to smell, and by now it's just imposible to be purely "accidental" or "incidental".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? You could make a case that it's all just a series of accidents and sad events with no correlation but then you'd have to dismiss the 25 years the curse has been in effect. It's been so consistent that the student body has even found rules to which the curse is bound (only members of the class and their inmediate family die, the farther away from town the less affected by it, their memories of the year are fuzzy afterwards and it at least 1 person dies per month). |

| Does anyone think that the next episode might have flashbacks from the past "curse" victims, however even if the dead being shown again in the preview is just another dream, its a safe bet a least one person will die, if not more; my bet is on the kid who likes to draw. Also quick question the guy who died this episode drowned before the boat, or after? because it seemed like he was just floating there as the boat went by. |
 |
| The guy who died was that Teshigawa's friend? If so, based on ED Teshigawa is next. And he's my fav. guy (not counting Koichi). But I was seriously fooled by the whole fanservice. |

| This episode felt completely pointless to me. I was bored the entire time. >.< It went nowhere and was just an excuse to put some moe chicks in bikinis. I have no idea what they were thinking make such a meaningless episode into the mix. Gawd Damn - you better be redeeming yourself next week Another because this shit - it ain't cool. |

Btw does anyone know what month it is in show? Reiko is the assistant homeroom teacher. So she still qualifies. Forgot about that, It would explain a few things; since they said she went through a lot when she was homeroom teacher; 1996 was the year it stopped half way right? so perhaps that was the year she stopped being homeroom teacher and died? There was also that thing with the date being altered in the records. |
|
the_trainman said: Why is that screencap special? If you mean the one Hakuromastu posted its because of the way she is portrayed through the window;i never considered Reiko because i forgot that she qualifies; but if you assume it has to be one of the group since the recent death occurred outside Yomiyama, her chances go up, since its fair to say some of the group can already be counted out. |
|
the_trainman said: So it's unusual she's portrayed through that blurry-style window? Well yeah, come to think of it, it is... Also Kouichi's grandparents (in the past episodes) never seem to talk directly to Reiko, which is strange. There are other things also; the grandfather said poor Ritsuko, poor Reiko as if they both died, and also the year it stopped half way was 1996, Reiko if i remember correctly was once a homeroom teacher but then "went through a lot" and became a assistant, so perhaps she died in 1996, it stopped half way and she came back as an assistant. |
|
| Didnt expect this ending |
| I would say its fair to say its not Mei or Sakakibara, one being he was confirmed by Mei to be alive, and the other because it wouldn't be much of a twist, so plot wise I'd say its safe to say Mei is not dead. So that leaves Azakawa and Reiko; what i wonder about Azakawa more than about the possibility of her being dead is the idea that she remembers Sakakibara and the dad said he was in Yomiyama a year and a half ago but then said he was mistaken only to be cut off; so i think when she finally remembers what she forgot we will have our plot twist. |
|
| She could have, but that would be the twist wouldn't it, because he doesn't remember going, it seems that part of the phenomenon is the altercation of dates and memories as seen with the roster and the fact that Katsumi doesn't remember the clue he left behind. It really all does fit if Reiko is the dead. The month is July or August? because they said people die by the month right? So how long do they have to hold out for, if they can't stop it? |

nathanr said: It was made so you cry when those girls die cause their breasts will rot and you could not do jack shit to prevent it and savor them cause it's anime. I know the setup but it's not a good one IMO less some fap to this episode or got sexually attracted whom I can say to Mei I might have for her skin but that's it. So if anything happens to Mei, now that is going to be hard. The rest, well I don't have to worry over their breasts rotting since they are dead and yes they are in the OP so they will die most likely. LovingHate said: - Why did they all have to have huge boobs? The boobs are not that big but still, Mei shouldn't have these. Remember that other girl with the glasses Suigita I think, likes Teshigawara. She is seen jealous in the OP at one point IMO. Chances are we might have a fight around for love. |
| There is also more to the theory if Reiko is indeed dead; the year is 1998 currently right? if you subtract 1 year and a half like the dad said it would be half way into 1996, that is the year the deaths stopped half way; so if Sakakibara went to Reiko's potential funeral halfway into 1996 Azakawa could have seen him then; however when Reiko came back the memories were altered once again just like the guy in the Library said. Reiko dying in 1996 could have been what caused the deaths to stop halfway. Also the dad could remember because they compared it to a cell phone signal right? since he is India it wouldn't be that impossible to say he partially remembered if the signal analogy they made is correct. |
|
| Gotta love these freak accidents. For the whole day, not a single boat was spotted, and one finally does appear, there just has to be a drowning teenager right in its path. |
InfiniteDestiny said: Reiko if i remember correctly was once a homeroom teacher but then "went through a lot" and became a assistant, so perhaps she died in 1996, it stopped half way and she came back as an assistant. You're confusing Mikami with Reiko (which I've been seeing a lot on the internet). |

|
| If i recall they said something about school rules thus why he address her as Reiko at home and Ms.Mikami at school, now that i think about it though Ms. Mikami and Reiko (whether same or different) act completely different; Ms. Mikami looks scared out of her mind all the time. |

It's even in the MAL anime profile.InfiniteDestiny said: Reiko if i remember correctly was once a homeroom teacher but then "went through a lot" and became a assistant, so perhaps she died in 1996, it stopped half way and she came back as an assistant. You're confusing Mikami with Reiko (which I've been seeing a lot on the internet). I'm with everyone else here; Reiko is the likely candidate. - The bird keeps saying her name - Her headaches when trying to remember the past - Sakakibara's dad said he was in Yomiyama a year and a half ago which was 1996, coinciding with the librarian saying certain events happened to Reiko. Also explains why Izumi has 'seen' sakakibara before ( At reiko's funeral ) - Sakakibara's grandpa whispered Reiko's name ( And his grandpa is tired of funerals hint hint ) - The guy in ep 8 that the group tried to contact remembers seeing her before but Reiko denies it. Could have been for Reiko's funeral. Now, obviously it's not 100% ( Unless you spoil yourself and read the wiki which I havn't ), but even if we're right about it being Reiko, it's the journey that matters in a story. We still don't know who else is going to die, nor do we know how the group will find out who the dead one is and that's all that matters. If endings being spoiled mattered, then prequels wouldn't be popular ( Fate/Zero or Star Wars :P ) |

| Now here is the question at least me for me; lets say for the time being it is in fact Reiko; she died in 1996 when the deaths stopped halfway; is her death the reason they stopped, if so why her? what would it take this time for the deaths to stop; will it continue until the "select" person like Reiko dies? because we haven't heard anything of her being the person chosen not to exist if i remember so for all we know she was just a normal student in the class which leaves the question open. |

If Reiko is the 'another', then they have to kill her. It's already been said that making someone 'not exist' no longer works so the only option left is to kill the 'another'. Question is how will they find out it's her? I'm sure Sakakibara will be hesitant so I'm eager to see how it all plays out. Maybe Sakakibara will ask his grandpa about reiko? /shrug Also, someone said earlier that in ep1 they showed the locations of people that have died so far ( Which means that future death locations are also in it which I find interesting ). In ep1, a large mansion is shown ( The same mansion in the ep 9 preview! ) |
