I can't believe such a big disappointment this was.

Saying that after seeing 2 episodes out of 26 (50 if counting both seasons) is very rash.


Prequel said:
It's a mystery with gore and a mystery that lacks any and every quality of mystery, like making you WONDER!

Saying that is thoughtless if not plain stupid.


"Another" on the other hand isn't a great mystery series nor a great horror... and has a very annoying opening song which makes watching less enjoyable.

You know, slow build up is usually bad for a lot of shows and movies, but this is doing it in a way that is just more intense. Am scared as to how it will pull off.

OOOOOOH! The plot thickens...

This episode was significantly darker and creepier than the last episode. Build up episode done right.

Yandere Rena is fucking terrifying. Those cateyes freak me out...

Kei learns more about the mysterious murders!

OH SHIT RENA WAS EAVESDROPPING ON YOU KEI. YOU'RE SO FUCKED!

4.5/5 Big improvement over last episode. I expect this next one to be the "wham episode"

Nothing too impressive yet, the characters voices are still too squeaky for my liking.

Decent episode I guess, it was better then the last one at least.

Still not seeing where the *horror* aspect of this show is though, it feels more like a murder mystery to me. Also I don't see how people find Rena in the least bit scary. Horribly annoying? Yes. Scary? No, not at all.

I'll have to watch a few more episodes before I can really start making any judgements though.

Yeah, I'm gonna go to the store and get some Huggies Deluxe!!

I'm pretty sure these girls are up to something. Rena proved herself to be slick after the "liar" scene. Bruh, I'm sensing some major events going on in the next episode as well. This is making me wonder how Keiichi will survive now.

24 episodes left is a long time...

Jesus Christ it's only 2 episodes in and I'm already creaped the hell out. The suspense is killing me. I knew that guy would die so that was kind of obvious. So intense and there haven't even been any murders shown yet.

Omg, camera man died. Well, it was obvious since the moment he was chatting with the woman and Keiichi.
Rena was creepy from the beginning but she has become creepier this time, what's with that?
This show is really scary, hard to watch past midnight to be honest, lol.

That was so creepy! This is my third time watching a horror anime, and I even though I really want to marathon through the mystery(like I did for Another and Shiki), I can't, because there is only so much of creepiness that you can endure in a day!

Damn, that was a creepy episode. Suddenly Rena and the other girls are psychotic. Man,I was scared when I thought that Rena was listening to him the whole time.


(Those cat eyes)


The cop Ooishi was a cool character. But I think I see death flags everywhere. Also that village festival. Whoa. There must be a network of all villagers working together to achieve some stuff. Also the fact that even children are involved. If the culprit of last year died in a holding cell before Satoshi went missing, then there is some shit going down. I hope Ooishi wins. He is a badass cop.

Poor photographer and that nice lady. I would have shipped them together.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

Well, this is getting more and more interesting. It was a big shock that the photographer died, really really shocking. So, each year someone dies, and someone goes missing. Obvious murder, I disbelieve that there's anything supernatural regarding it; even while this anime does have the supernatural genre. As expected, those girls are fishy, though, seems like they're hard-believers of the curse, so that's rather contradicting. The way Rena screamed was really unsettling, the way she eavesdropped Keiichi's conversation was even more unsettling. Enjoying this anime so far.

I dont undersrand how some people are so quick to judge a show as bad or boring after only two episodes?? As for me i am enjoying the suspense of the build up and hoping the show will deliver when the time is right, Looking forward to the next one.

Trying to watch this show again after putting it on-hold halfway through years ago. And man this guy is really digging his own grave lol. Why is he trying to be a fucking Sherlock Holmes? Just mind your business, you fuckwit. It's obvious there's something wrong with the entire village, especially after Rena went into a psycho mode and then returned back to normal so effortlessly.

This is getting really creepy and interesting. My ears hurt after hearing Rena's "Uso Da". That's really creepy.

I didn't expect for the photographer to be dead, tbh. I wonder what is the connection between Rena and friends to the curse

My suspension of disbelief suffered a strong blow at the cop involving a young boy in the investigations and disclosing with him details of the photographer's death. Then my appreciation of the episode improved at the exchange between MC and creepy girl #1 (Rena? Still have to learn the names).
Character design is pretty awful, but I suppose it is meant to strike a contrast - cute girls doing creepy stuff.
Let's see how this continues.
