You're probably right... This was a good episode, considering we got at least a bit of information out of the tape. Now we know why they went to the shrine, and we got the drama-teacher tidbit. Also, Mei was cute :3 |

| Jesus i don't know why but my heart was racing the whole time i was watching this(music was really getting to me too), and what a shit nightmare that was lol. i had pretty clear feeling one of the girls was gonna die after they started to focus on them i just don't get how the ones brother Died first instead of her? still hoping our core group makes it out of it but that number of people is getting thin :( twintails crying in the preview makes me sad |

Cynderella said: akutasame94 said: Agreed... I don't know why but I think her eye sees dead one... I have a feeling that somebody told me that,but I can't remember... Damn it must be the curse :P This makes the most sense. She even gave us the hints in the beginning. The glass eye that keeps her safe in the calamity, (It must, considering her confidence and how she tells Kouichi not to worry about her) her relation to the ball jointed dolls, her visit to the morgue... ect. Rather than seeing, I think it's more appropriate to say she can recognize the dead one because they all could see the dead one as though he/she is alive. Ah...but SEEING would make sense too. After all, she can't see normally through her injured eye, right? So if an injured eye sees something when it shouldn't see anything, it's not a "normal person." However, if she can recognize the dead one, why hadn't she yet?? Could it be that only when going to Yomiyama shrine, will she really be able to distinguish the dead one? Or could she have known already, but she kept on forgetting because of memory alteration? Or could it be...that her eyes become hazy? Or it doesn't work for now? =.= |

"Belief is the death of intelligence." ~Robert Anton Wilson~ |
| This show still blows. It's a rainy day, therefore the car drives at 20> MPH. The car slows down in preparation to make a turn around the mountain, suddenly, flash rockslide. This results in the car accelerating to 30> MPH, which effectively broke the steel guardrails. Logical. Oh right, flash bulldozer to your second story room is cool too. |
 |
| Again we got some stupid deaths this time. Killied by lightning - happens with a probability of 1:12500. You would rather die in a plane accident (btw, plane is one of the safest vehicles out there) than this. Killed by slipping down mountain - ok, that happens, but you must be quite an idiot to let that happen. Killied by bulldozer(?) - Well, somehow it was hilarious^^ About the 'return of the dead': It was very obvious that it was a dream. But still, it was a nice idea. About that cassette: Why take it out? I'd stop the player and take it with me when hiding instead of trying some dumb shit. When he hid the cassette was still in his hand, the player was still on the floor where they had put it and the tape of the cassette hanging between them. Wouldn't somebody get suspicious if the saw the player of the floor? This Teshigawa(?) guy must be really a retard. Or maybe it's just the story, who doesn't want us to listen to the tape to keep the suspense up -_- Well, still, I liked the ep. Mei was very cute again. Liked it, when Kouichi saved her from the glass or when they both hid together when the man came in. I'm eager to see next ep. People crying in the preview, looked interesting ;-) |
mrmuk said: Killed by slipping down mountain - ok, that happens, but you must be quite an idiot to let that happen. In case anyone didn't notice, when she fell, it literally looked like she purposely rolled off the cliff ahahahhaha. I lol'd |
| that is a big ass cliff hanger, i want to know what was on the rest of that tape (>.<) |
| Rarely have I been unable to find any clue to what will happen next in an anime (well, in a any media to be honest) but Another really is a masterful series in terms of suspense and extremely good at throwing the spectator off the scent in every episode. I'm absolutely not convinced Mei is the dead classmate nor am I convinced that "another" actually exists. This little game that's been repeating for 26 years seems really fishy to me and unless Chibiki has something to do with all this, nothing really makes sense. A truly great thriller up to now, with great characters and fantastic sound direction to boot. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| So my assumption was correct, it was a dream. Wasn't that riveting as the preview, however I still loved it. 5/5 I'll make it a habit to post pictures of what happened in the show. However, they will be in no particular order.  |
 |
| The mystery in this series is really beginning to shape up, the tape was the best clue yet and the fact that the man who helped the class in some way freaked out when the boy died but in fact the boy was dead before the boat even hit him. This series does leave cliffhangers at every episode a little obnoxiously at some points, but I'm still voting this as my favorite series of this season so far and when it finishes airing I'll be sure to marathon it to watch the story in sequence instead of weekly. |
| I feel like there were more deaths this time around than usual. I have to say though, the scariest death was the rock smashing the car window. I did NOT expect that! I was expecting a slippery road or a truck to come out of nowhere, but instead, I got a rock smashing the window! scary. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| GOD DAMN TAPE. Misuryu said: That rock gave me a fucking heart attack. Same. I was expecting a car crash, not a freaking rock falling. lol |
Misuryu said: That rock gave me a fucking heart attack. This and the lightning strike. |
 |
| I don't know about the rest of you, but my heart was racing quite a bit when they started to listen to the tape. |
| I used to believe the brain was the most important organ in the body. Then I realized - - Look what's telling me that. <img src="http://myanimelist.net/signature/SpykeRoseRed.png" /> |
| Great episode! Was anticipating what the tape was going to say >.<!! Now I am afraid that a claw truck is going to smash into my house and brutally crush me to death while I am playing video games OnO |

| It really still could be anyone, at this point. The Another, that is. But yeah. This episode was kinda a huge-ass cliffhanger. But 4 people died this episode, so I guess that makes up for it. Can't wait for next Monday. 5/5, as usual. EDIT: As I was editing the Wikipedia page(because it seems that no one who adds the synopsis for each week of Another on Wikipedia can spell...) I accidentally saw something that ruined the ending for me. Goddammit, Wikipedia... |

| Lemme smang it girl. |
| WHO IS FUCKING STUPID ENOUGH TO RUN DOWN A WET, STEEP MOUNTAIN WHILE EVERYBODY IS DYING AROUND YOU. WTF. SOME ONE IS BOUND TO FALL. Okay, I love Teshigawara. I usually don't like his type of character but maybe it's the setting that changes it. Idk. |

| that lightning strike and the rock gave me a freaking heart attack. I didn;t expect the lightning... omg.. and even tho i expected the rock... i WAS STILL SCARED. ahhhh!! |
| LET JUSTICE BE DONE; THOUGH THE HEAVENS MAY FALL |
| while the main characters are busy exploring, searching for clues and listening to the tape, i keep on shouting.. STOP PANNING THE SIDE CHARACTERS, PLEASE!! it got me thinking how they're going to die or something.. this episode is very heart racing.. it's not the horrific visuals of these kinds of stories that terrify you (see fail nightmare in the earlier part of the episode), but the atmosphere, direction and music.. this show is really having a good time making us predict what will happen next but not exactly how it would happen.. and that's when we get surprised.. and way to debunk that theory on the guy who died in the previous ep outside Yomiyama because one of them is the "Another".. the events of his eventual death are already prepared and settled in Yomiyama? kuh.. still doesn't stop us speculating that the "Another" is one of the main characters, though.. mdz said: It's a rainy day, therefore the car drives at 20> MPH.

Logical. Oh right, flash bulldozer to your second story room is cool too. mrmuk said: of course the deaths are highly unlikely and are ridiculous.. it's not coincidence acting upon this stuff.. it's a scary calamity that always puts dramatic failures on their dice rolls.. it makes them stupid, act unnaturally and bends the surroundings against their favor.. i'm getting sick on these kinds of comments.. have you not understood the mechanics of the show and are still conforming to our rules of physics when it's not needed?Again we got some stupid deaths this time. Killied by lightning - happens with a probability of 1:12500. You would rather die in a plane accident (btw, plane is one of the safest vehicles out there) than this. Killed by slipping down mountain - ok, that happens, but you must be quite an idiot to let that happen. Killied by bulldozer(?) - Well, somehow it was hilarious^^ DJIzzyIzzyHitler said: you also have to add the fact that the calamity conveniently makes people forget about all the phenomena besides killing those that wanna get involved, of course.. it can even alter temporarily printed records.. so far, this is the important part of this calamity that convinces me that it isn't just mere coincidence.. and sadly, this is that element of the show that they can just abuse and is kind of a bit unfair.. if anything, i would've wanted to bash the show because of this..mikado34 said: and there is a reason this isnt media attention, they pretty much went 1 and a half of a decade without any deaths, it would just look like a freak accident ecpecially since all of them die from accidents and many such as the nurse or that girl's brother arent even connected to class 3 so it wouldnt look like they are all happening from just that class, watch the news, 4 freak accidents in 1 month is far from abnormal, actually it is, there are way more than 4 deaths in a month from freak accidentsCirris said: Yes, the fact that no media seems to dig into a phenomena story like this is beyond me. The curse must have caused at least 200 deaths of students and family members the last 25 years. The story is kind of getting out of hand. With so many people dieing from the class every year you'd think the curse would be a national phenomena story. That it would be as closely scrutinized by scholar and enthusiasts as the Bermuda Triangle. Is the body count up to 10 now with the actress wannabe family flying off the cliff? They still have like 7 months to go. Looking back at all the deaths until now, they all seem so well timed. Still there is a chance for the incidents to be coincidentally and not necessarily forced by some curse. Some of them are due to stupidity; it was told that the guy last week hit his head before going on the trip, and didn't borther to get it exeminded, which then lead to him drowning when loosing consciousnesses. And the guy in the flashback who held an umbrella during a thunderstorm which is really dangerous. |

Wouldn't somebody get suspicious if the saw the player of the floor? This Teshigawa(?) guy must be really a retard. Or maybe it's just the story, who doesn't want us to listen to the tape to keep the suspense up -_- The phenomenon does more than just kill people. We already know that it alters people's memories, so it's not impossible to imagine that it influences other thoughts in this way. Hypothetically: the phenomenon didn't want anybody to hear what was on the rest of the tape, so, rather than kill all four of them, it simply influenced Teshigawara to remove the cassette and get it snagged. |
| I got a fcking heartattack where the lightning hits the guy ... I knew it would happen but DAMN, this was loud and sudden ^^ And ofcourse this Anime just gives me more reasons to love it |

Reaper71 said: My hand is raised.sayami said: Misuryu said: Same here also the lightning strike.That rock gave me a fucking heart attack. I was listening to the episode with stereo closed back headphones, high volume, and it was insane. I nearly went deaf (and heart attack too). Really good episode however. Filled with a bunch of foreshadow and suspense. I knew something would happened before the tape finished, but that dosen't mean I'm not frustrated with it. I hope we'll find out what's on that tape a week from now. Also, show of hands, who thinks something's going to happen to Mochizuki next episode? |
| The death at the end made me fear for my life, death on the PC. OH GOD NO. |

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 |
| The "object behind you moving" noise while kouichi was walking up the stairs in his dream got me. Turned irl to check the noise. :O |
| They aren't even a bit pissed that guy broke the tape and just laughing it off? What? |
| facepalm IDIOT! they were so close to hearing the end of that tape |
| that tape ~ trolling everyone like a boss |

| Damn nightmare! That scared the hell out of me. Twas a good episode as always. Goodness gracious. Those poor girls. Falling on the cliff and the brother get hit by a crane. And that tape. I feel that the broken part of it might not play which might be important to solve the curse. But we are seeing more light here. If this ends up good and proper, it will officially become a favorite anime of mine. |

| That tape... I was like, "Are you fucking kidding me?" That tape will save lives and your just running around with it. |
 |
| 5/5 that was an interesting episode. Only 3 more left! |
 |
| Thankfully, I saw this before any spoilers could appear on my dashboard on Tumblr. That lightening strike gave me a freakin' heart attack, along with the ending. I think I have a brother complex with anime despite me having a younger, autistic brother and when I heard her say "Brother!" instead of mom and dad my heart dropped and I was sitting there for quite a few seconds, breathing heavily and panicking a little. This anime has the most perfect atmosphere I have ever seen in an anime. Nothing compares to it. I don't think I've ever feared for my life more then I have after watching this. I literally do not even take an elevator anymore because of episode four. People always ask me why. |
| Dont touch me I'm in despair. |
| So much for one death a month.. and I'm not even referring to the double death, I just mean how frequent they are happening this year. Regardless, loved this ep too.. though the "oh no the tape broke" bit before they got to the bit that mattered was a bit of a cop out =x |

| Haha Ü But...I'll miss this show T.T |

Jourii said: ClementIV said: Ekutah said: There was to be some fanservice once in a while. Not that I mind. lol I didn't even notice it. A very minor case of fanservice xD If you're mad of this pantyshot you mustve freaked out during last episode? XD That doesn't count as a panty shot, no panties. And in my case I'm actually impressed by they not have done that! lol~ (I got all fanservice I wanted with Reiko last epi. xP) Not to mention who needs this sort of appeal when we have Misaki Mei being cute (that flower. *-*) That said, all my hate to the dude who took that tape off without pausing it. I was "oh my, I hope that's just a continuity error but know, of course you needed to have destroyed it in the process to delay the reveal. And am I suppose to think that is "credible" because they are young and current generations knows nothing of cassete tapes? lol Nah, I think you could make that reveal now so all my hate to you. That said, the deaths happening alongside the talks and the tape and with all those cuts... Really cool and creepy~ |
| This episode made me jump in my seat quite a bit, especially when Naoki (I think) fell from the ceiling ._." I'm looking forward for next week's episode, since some idiot broke the tape. Also, when making a recording that will hopefully save lives, shouldn't you make the message shorter and precise? I want to know what's on that tape! xD |

| SPOILER ALERT!!!! a hint as to who the dead person is....? resembles....? |
  |
| Thank God this episode was awesome to make up for that poop beach fan service episode. Nightmare sequence was intense. Definitely better than the last one. Good show of Kouichi's inner turmoil. Leave it to blondie to fuck up the tape. Dude's an idiot. What was that? 4 people dead at once? Fucking awesome. There was so much build up with the creepy music that I was just waiting for some shit to happen and someone to die. It didn't happen when I thought it was going to, and the mood seemed to pass--lulling me back into a false sense of security. Then...  |
