| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ok, so we finally find out what Katsumi forgot to mention last episode in the tape: When asking his peers about the person, no one knows or remembers. So according to the tape, to stop the calamity: Pretty interesting conversation with Mei Misaki and Kouichi later in the episode where she explains her history and her mother(s) Additionally, we find out that Mei Misaki's eye can see the "color of death" as given the reason why she wants to see the photo from 26 years ago of Misaki Yomiyama. Strange ending. |

| I think this is the second episode where Teshigawara trolled the most important part. I still love him though, I was worried he was going to die but instead he might have killed someone. Mei knowing the colour of death is also interesting. But like Kouichi said, even if you knew who the dead one is would you be willing to kill a classmate? Great episode. |
| [/center] |
| Wow!!! Now everyone seem to be turning against each other. At this rate it looks like we are going to have a blood bath in the remaining two episodes. As for the tape, it was kind of predictable. Someone would kill someone and everything stops. Although the part that really surprised me was that Mei's cousin was actually her sister. Although I was hoping to see why Izumi was crying. I wonder if it was just a dream or it really did happen since it seems that Kouichi doesn't remember her. Can't wait for these last two episodes! |
| Awesome ep. Looks like people are starting to die left and right next ep. Either through panic and people start killing each other, or just the calamity at work. Either way, I think I know how this is going to end. Sakakibara will find out from Mei who the 'another' is. He'll be the one to kill that person. He's the one with the 'insane' smile on his face in the ep 1 prologue. Things are finally starting to be clear :D What's strange is Mei is seen with two normal eyes in the ep 1 prologue. There could be some significance to that since all the scenes in the prologue have happened ( Or will happen ). It's just odd that Mei's eye has this strange power to see the dead so I'm thinking there will be some shocking revelations involving her in the last 2 eps. |
 |
| OH MAAAN, now I want to know who you guys think the dead person is :O And what's up with Sakakibara meeting the girl before, as seen in her dream. And doesn't Mei's eye double as the author's Deus Ex Machina? I mean, it came out of the blue. Still, impressed (: |

| Well this was awesome, and next episode looks even more exciting with more action. So the glasses guy that died at the end wasn't the dead? Colors on his arm were the same as the dead guy's from Sakakibara's mother's photograph. Yet preview showed more deaths will happen. Yvese said: You made me check it and it turns out the places where characters died all showed up in the prologue of ep1. There were a few places along with a picture of bloody knife on the ground before the umbrella and staircase that's believed to be the first death, could it mean Misaki was murdered somewhere? And yeah, there's Mei with both red eyes and insane laugh Sakakibara in the prologue, and again the dam after his shoot.What's strange is Mei is seen with two normal eyes in the ep 1 prologue. There could be some significance to that since all the scenes in the prologue have happened ( Or will happen ). I'm guessing the dam will play a major role in the story, most probably it's the place where all will end. |

Kurimu-chan said: And doesn't Mei's eye double as the author's Deus Ex Machina? I mean, it came out of the blue. I don't think it came off as completely unexpected. She told Sakakibara earlier on the special ability of her eye and it was hinted at that she could tell the extra one apart from the living when she told him that she doesn't think he is the dead student a few episodes ago. |
 |
| Awesome episode! If only I hadn't accidentally read who the dead peron actually is... =/ So why hasn't Mei told them about the "Another" yet? Ok, she might be embarrassed of the eye, or might not want to kill her classmate, but isn't she basically doing the same by keeping silent? The fact that she hasn't told anyone yet means that she is the one responsible for all the deaths so far (or at least the ones on the trip). I wouldn't be surprised if Sakakibara has repressed his memories due to something bad happening. I mean, that's happened quite often in more serious animes. |

It's not like it was a revelation that her eye could see the dead. It was already heavily hinted at in previous eps. OrochiPL said: Hmm yea I forgot about the dam. Will be interesting how that plays a part in the next 2 eps.Well this was awesome, and next episode looks even more exciting with more action. So the glasses guy that died at the end wasn't the dead?

I'm just curious why Mei is shown with two normal eyes. |
|
| Just crossed my mind..did they ever mention that the extra one has to be a student of the class? I mean could it be, for example, Mikami-sensei? I've watched so many mystery series and they've always been misleading, the good guy is always the bad guy and now everyone seems to think it's a student of the class but wouldn't it be cool if it was Mikami-sensei..She's part of the class anyway! |

Funny how she wasn't wearing her eyepatch and in the first couple of episodes we wondered what was under it. We had the answer since the prologue! Finally, Misaki with NORMAL eyes: |

| BTW, one of the next deaths: Chandelier will fall. It was seen in the opening. |

| So much got revealed this episode, wow. I really wonder what Teshigawara did... He probably tried finding out who the dead person is and it backfired? I hope Mochizuki isn't dead, though. Amazing episode overall. Hopefully we get to find out who the dead person is next week! |
Kurimu-chan said: Yea the prologue pretty much has all the significant events that have/will happen.Yvese said: Sakakibara will find out from Mei who the 'another' is.

Funny how she wasn't wearing her eyepatch and in the first couple of episodes we wondered what was under it. We had the answer since the prologue! What's interesting is the opening theme itself changes everytime someone dies. If you scroll through the opening in every ep, the sequence of characters changes and a new person is added, which means hints of who the people will die has been there all along. With that said, I wonder what other hints are left in the prologue and opening. Or heck, the first few eps. It seems the creators have been leaving us many subtle hints since the beginning and since we're reaching the climax of the show, going through the first few eps again may lead to some clues. Right now my main suspects for the 'another' are Mei and Reiko. The fact that Sakakibara is seen in the prologue with a creepy smile leads me to believe the person he has to kill is a major character. It would have the biggest impact on him since it's someone he has been close with. Mei and Reiko are the best candidates for that. And, unlike Matsunaga who accidentally killed the 'another', Sakakibara KNOWS he has to kill that person. That, and it would be incredibly lame is the 'another' was a character that has had little to no screentime. That's just my guess :P |
|
| I'm wondering if the dream sequence really reflects something that has happened or if it is altered somehow. Because in the first case it seems odd that Akazawa would only have a faint memory of meeting Sakakibara. I sense something fishy... At this point I still wonder if Misaki has an ulterior motive. Of course, she claims that it wouldn't have changed anything ( or at least she believed it before listening to the tape) to reveal the extra student. But this sounds rather implausible. Does she possibly feel satisfaction from the students' deaths to compensate for the loss of her beloved twin sister? It it really turns out that Teshigawara has killed Kazami then it would be really ironic since they are childhood friends of some sort. We haven't heard much from Kazami since Sakuragi's death thus I would presume that he has actively avoided Sakakibara and Misaki because he holds them responsible for Sakuragi's demise to whom he presumably had feeling for. This could also be the reason for the argument he and Teshigawara seemingly had before the former one died. Sakakibara made the right decision by examining the tape secretely as it would have resulted in a chivvy if it would have become public that the curse can be stopped by annihilating the extra student and ultimately in a bloodbath. Though, that seems to be what's happening next episode nonetheless. However, we can't be sure if the measure that is descibed in the tape is crucial to stop the curse or if something else might have contributed to it. There's a possibility that we are deceived by the author of this story on purpose. |

Even if she did know that you had to kill the 'another' to stop the calamity, do you think she has the ability to do it? She doesn't seem like the type. As for Akazawa, it is indeed odd why she remembers but Sakakibara doesn't. Maybe she's the 'another' which explains why Sakakibara has no recollection of ever meeting her before, but she does? Afterall, the dead don't know they're dead, right? That, and the living don't have memories of that person. Just my guess. |

| The preview looked intense AGAIN!! Business is picking up :3 |
Sir_Lexa said: The preview looked intense AGAIN!! Business is picking up :3 I'm going to make a wild guess that the countermeasure chick with the twintails (Izumi Akazawa) will die before this series end. |

Terminaato said: Awesome episode! If only I hadn't accidentally read who the dead peron actually is... =/ QFT, fuck wikia/wikipedia, seriously, I just stumbled onto a certain character and get completely spoiled to death, fml... |
| I think I figured out who the girl in the red dress is at the end of the ED. It's Fujioka, I can tell by her hair (That little Ahoge strand) Preview of next episode.... Shit looks f*cking real. |
| Well it was a great episode once again. But I must know who is the dead student at the end? |
 |
| ^ guy with blue hair? Don't recall his name This episode was SUPERB. I'm so pumped for more. Fuckin love this. 5/5 |
| It would have been great if some prick didn't spoil it anywhere. Actually, it would have been great if nobody wrote novel spoilers or manga spoilers. Since the anime came last, it is quite anticlimactic to those who knew beforehand. Anyway, it's a great ep. |

| wow i had goosebumps whole episode long ^^ |
| hmm Teshigawara what did you doooo :( still love you though <3 Hmm I can't wait fo the next ep :x I'm also guessing that Kazami is the dead one since he's the only one with blue hair :'] But I was wondering did anyone from the ending die except Yukari? (not sure about one) cause they seem like the "important classmates" So if not, and Kazami is next (maybe), they might plan to kill the "important" characters in that order :( (I'm also really grateful that the people who accidentally know who the "another" is keep quiet about it, I really am! Thank you! :D) |

leiferouis said: ffs. I was browsing the character profiles on myanimelist and it contained some major spoilers. I thought the spoilers were going to be for only whats already known in the anime up till now but I guess not. Exactly what happened to me :( |
| I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S OVER!!! Wow. Amazing episode. I'm so scared as to who the dead person is, and how that happy kid killed the guy. It sounds like Katsumi all over again :O (or the guy who died could've been the extra but I don't think so..) Next episode is going to be INTENSE. Honestly, it's the climax of the show :) I think the dead person is the girl with the red hair (forgot her name xD) ^ I feel that she wasn't too involved in the previous scenes and because of the flashback in the beginning she must have a big role in it later on. 5/5 |
| Shipping News: The SS MeiXKouichi still going strong (and I was also 'eeeeeh?!' for a second when she invited him to her room) This episode was intense, more than the last. Also, I'd say the culprit is Miss Twintails with the chandelier in the salon [/cluedo] And yeah, it looks like murder massacre mayhem is breaking loose next ep. That buffoon will prolly spill the beans about how to stop the calamity and people will kill each other left right and center. |

But like Kouichi said, even if you knew who the dead one is would you be willing to kill a classmate? Great episode. Well, if she was right, no one would remember. So I would kill the extra. In this episode: No clichés like the inhaler being empty and having no spares, cell phones being out of range, or the jock making stupid mistakes! Still loved it. However, the person who commits the deed apparently has to live with it and won't forget their memories for a while. Sure, Katsumi has forgotten now, but he still has nightmares. |
| It definitely might turn into a "Battle Royale" now that it's starting to get around that killing the dead one ends the curse. The previews look quite ominous. Asakawa definitely has it out for Mei. You can feel animosity and you just know there's going to be a confrontation soon. I doubt it'll go as far as BR's plot. But, I do think someone will flip out and start murdering others cause they fear for their own life. |

| So who thinks Asakawa has feelings for Kouichi after watching this episode? |
|
| o.o Misaki Moe !! Misaki and Main guy should Chu xD But yeah deathmatch starts next ep.. i hope this anime will end with everyone coming back to life.. and calmaty will ended.. but that is 1 of hope and possibilities .. the other 2 ways that how anime might end -all die and calmity wont stop -some will survive but calmity will keep going -some will survive and calmity will be stopped -all will die and calmity will stop note- yes i know i misspelled calmity cuz have no idea nor remember how to spell it right xD |
 |
| so, misaki's eye really have an ability... it's only a matter of time by now for the extra one will be revealed, maybe next episode xD |
  |
| Not as suspenseful as the other two episodes. Still enjoyable all together, though. Am I the only one that noticed that in the prologue, they called the student named Misaki a girl, but in some recent episodes (Around 6 - 8) they referred to Misaki as a male? Was I the only one that caught that? :/ Plus, I'm still waiting for the stuff from the prologue to be revealed. |
| Dont touch me I'm in despair. |

Leo-Kliesen said: This episode be okey , i like this sister misaki she cute. I want know who he kill xD Really? That's like a major ass spoiler and you didn't even warn us before hand. Anyone who clicked that might've thought it was a screenie or something. Thanks for ruining the biggest part of the series for most of us. Fuck you. |
| Dont touch me I'm in despair. |
| Good episode,shit starting to get serious! So at least we know WTF happen years ago that stop the calamity,and i predicted correctly you need kill the dead person even that he was lucky as hell. Akasawa seems to have big jealousy of Mei as she is to close to Sakakibara,even that i like her that was a bitchy move to Mei good they step up for her. I though for a moment they were going to kiss!!! but it didt happen :( That photo of 26 years ago i must say it was creepy as hell..i love it!! So sisters and no cousins...i most say Mei sister was cute i liked that blown hair but it looks everything start in April no May.... Next episode seems shit get serious blue guy got killed at it seems probably someone heard how to stop the calamity and is starting in killing spree...shit will get serious 2 more to go!!! |
