*This is my first review and is my own personal opinion, the opinion may differ from yours though all respects are due*
Another is a mystery/horror series that consists of 12 episodes and a OVA, this series is deserving of more praise than it get's already. It's worth you're time if you're into a good mystery or gory anime.
Story - 9/10 Kouichi Sakakibara is a new transfer student of a third year middle school, the class has a mysterious past, this classroom also contains a mysterious student who also contains a girl called Mei Misak who wears an eyepatchi. -This storyline always keeps me on edge

and you never know what's going to happen next which I really enjoyed! as the episodes go on there are many characters that are introduced and it's safe to say with the horror genre that most of them do not have a happy fate. The only gripe I had with the story is that was a certain twist that happened too late in the story to really make too much of a impact.
Art & Animation - 10/10 I thought the art and animation was great for this serious I was really impressed with P.A. works and their capability to make the series look greater as it went on!, The character models looked perfect as they were proportioned amazingly without looking odd at all. The many different environments looked as best as they could with loads of colour and subtle details.
Sound - 10/10 The sound was pretty much perfect as it set the tone for the series with dreary backing tracks and sharp and fit for what is happening within the episodes. The opening by ALI PROJECT and Ending by Annabel certainly grew on me as the series went on, while they are nowhere near my favourites they certainly set the tone for the opening and with the ending it was soft to relieve the tension from each episode.
Characters - 8/10 While the only characters that stand out as much throughout the series are the two main characters, the rest seem to be cannon fodder, Mei is the typical monotone character throughout the series though a different side can be seen to her in the OVA. Koucihi is the typical male lead that knows nothing about what is going on and tries to find out the secrets which makes him a character that people would connect to. The supporting characters did little to progress the story and I found their names really difficult to remember...
Enjoyment - 10/10 I can definitely say that I enjoyed this show so much that I was constantly waiting for the next episode to be released!, this was one of the few shows that made left a massive impact after watching a certain episode, safe to say it left me breathless. For anyone unsure about this series watch the first 3 episodes and if you're not hooked by then it's probably not the show for you.
Overall - 10/10 After enjoying the series so much I feel like I should give it 10 what can I say, I've always been a sucker for a horror series that keeps you guessing.
- Thanks for you're time reading this review and hopefully you'll enjoy the show as much as I did. - Rikku101.
