Blonde dude starts killing spree of random guys! Nice!

And people who thought Kouichi is dead can finally trash the theory.

Pigtails is jealous, made Mei to apologize, in fact, pigtails sucks 'cause she had major responsibility for telling Kouichi nothing in the hospital at the very begining.

I'm quite perplexed that Akazawa is being hated. Actually, I'm quite surprised that no one's bashing on Mei. Even if there's nothing she could do of the knowledge, for her to keep the fact for herself isn't satisfying in itself. Because, after all, her ability gave her the chance to stop the curse firsthand. I love Mei's character; I really do, but such an important thing to be hidden and not given action upon is so wrong.

It's not about enjoyment of deaths either that she hid it. More like it's antipathy. If she does care that much, why would she just let it all be? I know she still doesn't know the solution then, but shouldn't she have delved more?

But, of course, if it's to protect somebody from the hurt...If it's to protect somebody that she hid it...I guess, I can forgive her...But if not for somebody else's protection, such hoarding of information is inexcusable. But then, I guess she wouldn't be able to talk to someone about it before since she is nonexistent, and no one might believe her ability...

Oh well...I still love her character 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? :/


So it's not just me! I realized it as well.... Quite confusing....


This has already been explained nth times in previous discussions.

Actually, everyone believed Misaki who died 26 years ago was a girl at prologue and first episode because that was what's revealed firsthand. It was only cleared Misaki was actually a boy during ep 5 or 6. It's because of the memory alterations that in the storytelling Misaki was told to be a girl rather than a boy.

Cliffhanger!! This episode kept me on edge from the beginning to the end..
Btw Mei's sister was really cute.But now we know that the calamity had started with her death in April. But what's with Mei's green doll eye that can see death? And we didn't hear who the extra student is....again >_<

The preview for the next episode freaked me out!Someone's gonna die.It better not be Teshigawara or Mochizuki 'cause I like them both.

This is really getting bad. Misaki knows who's the dead and was keeping that to herself all the time? She twitched when Teshigawara said that they need to find out who;s that person. And I'm pretty sure he killed his friend.
And more deahs next episode. It's going to be bloody. ^^

How can people still talk about "who the dead person is?", it's been quite obvious since 5 episodes back if you notice the details or bothered to look at the facts.

Either way I could not care less for the 'official reveal', what I find more interesting is how they will deal with the situation once possessing that knowledge.
I.e how are they going to kill the dead person (^.^)

Simplest and most logical solution would be providing Mei with a knife and let her dispatch the *anomaly* seeing as everyone else would have no knowledge of this and forget that person ever existed in their time period.

First the tape gets cut then the door scene this episode; the truth doesn't like being revealed does it; at least the Kouichi dead theory can finally be laid to waste, it was imo the worst possible way to go with it; seems like the random deaths start; wonder who the blonde guy killed? if he did at all. Reiko theory gains more ground for being the dead; since she is there, Mei made comments concerning the photos of Reiko, the photo was in Reiko's room; and it would show why she would hesitate since they are related (Kouichi and Reiko), in any case at this pace i wonder if any are gonna live...outside of possibly Kouichi and Mei.

Spoiler tags could easily be for images or something of the sort, you need to provide warning for a major spoiler like that. Everyone else does, because they are trying not to ruin the series for others. I realize that you are young, and that everyone makes mistakes, but please be more thoughtful about things like this in the future. The only reason I'm not reporting you is because of your age. You have just successfully ruined this series for many people, including myself, so understand that some people might be a bit upset. You have no right to call him stupid when you are the one in the wrong.

"Send the death back to death. That's how to stop the calamity once it's begun."
I hate how the girl made Misaki apologize, I mean really she had no reason whatsoever to apologize and then the whole class agrees its all her fault. I believe it was originally the girl's fault because she told nothing to Kouchi about the calamity in the first place, if she had told him the whole calamity and to avoid Mei than the whole calamity would have not happened in the first place.
Oh yeah, Mei's sister is pretty. *O*

Dang! SO GOOD! I got scared by the lightning!

Alright. The Misakis we know are actually sisters.
And Misaki (Mei's cousin) is the first victim.
Thus, Sakakibara nor Mei is the dead student.

This is getting good. In order to stop the curse, they need to put the dead student back to death in order to remove the curse.

And this is something we should expect, Mei's eyes. There is always a character that should have a power or a skill in a series.

Now Teshigawara appeared out of nowhere! And it seems like he killed somebody.
I will now expect a blood bath next week! MORE! MORE!

Isn't it more likely that the "Misaki" in the prologue is Mei's twin sister? Seeing as how she is the actual first victim of the calamity.

Holy shit son! body count at the start was 19 (students)i believe then 18 not sure if that kid with asthma will die or not but after that cliffhanger i think hes lucky to have been out of the house lol...,and my homeboy (or whoever was sharping that filer) might have gotten hasty and killed someone just before we were able to find out who the extra was!.

I can't wait for next week to come sooner even if Akazawa was a bit cold still hoping she makes it through this since it looks like alot of shit is going down next week for reals.

Suspense is killing meeeeeeee ! Still, very impressive episode once again. Extremely hard to deduce who the extra is even though there aren't that many people actually at the trip (eleven if I counted right ?) and it seems unlikely a side character who hasn't been introduced could be "another". So it only really leaves Teshigawara and Mochizuki as suspects (Akazawa being counted out thanks several hints we had). Both could be very nice anticlimactic assassins so I'm waiting for the resolution and especially the moment when everyone (including the killer who most probably doesn't know he's dead) discovers the truth.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

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.


ironic. truly ironic. dude i seriously was about to click on that spoiler, I WAS, but then I was like no, better not because I was kinda scared that since so many people already accidentally know who the another is, someone may put it here to ruin everything. and it seriously was the first spoiler that i didnt touch.
im sorry i had to say and im reeeally sorry you did read it :(

This. Also, I'm too tired to go back and watch the prologue again, but in the screenshot someone kindly provided, the hair colour is warm and reddish, which is closer to Fujioka Misaki's; Mei's is colder and closer to green or blue.

Other than that.. if you have astma (sorry, I have no idea how to spell it), and KNOW you have to take medicine.. wouldn't you ALWAYS take a spare with you if you're going on a trip? Or at least double-check your regular one to see how full it is? I know often things are forgotten when you go on a trip, I have it all the time too, but something THAT important, that could save your life? Maybe it's just me. :')
Can't wait for next week, I see blood and loving it!

I'm guessing that the calamity causes people to forget things that could save their lives. It has already caused several highly unlikely accidents, so it wouldn't be too much of a stretch. xP
If any of my posts seem odd, it's probably because I'm tired. Sorry. I have sleeping issues.

So, do we add two deaths to the toll, or wait and see what happens next week with 1. the asthmatic kid with the mysteriously empty inhaler being rushed to the hospital 2. the guy lying face down outside who might have been a victim of random violence... ?

Well, I can't say it was disappointing not to have a gruesome death... it was great to finally have an understanding of so many things...

... when the curse started, how Mei Misaki and her sister/cousin are related...

... the fact that we now both know how to stop the curse and , potentially, who is the dead person...

... and the anticipation ... who will survive? Will the few people who know be killed by the curse before they can reverse it?

A great cliffhanger episode.

Love the sound of the thunder,etc. too... surround sound and subwoofers were made for shows like this!

I already know who the another person is from reading the light novels but this anime adaptation is great. The writers make you think that one person is the dead one then suddenly makes you think it's another person............. etc etc. Great suspense. I'd be quite surprised if I didn't read the light novels. :(

Anyways I love how they revealed more about Misaki and she is humanized more and more with each episode because initially she was seen as almost doll like and perhaps dead. (Appreciating the fact that Sakibara stood up for her, the story of her twin sister and her love for her, wanting to see her biological mother, and didn't anyone feel some sexual tension between Misaki and Sakibara LOL. She was all like I want you to come to my room and I was like damnnnnn girl is gonna get her freak on.......bow chika bow wow :| )
