| Nice horror (btw 1001 post) |

| A beautiful anime, with some improvements it would have been better. |
 |
| The real dead person was the friends we made along the way. Bruh how does he not remember Akazawa? Guess she was too irrelevant for him to remember. I would def remember such a pretty girl... I definitely did not see Mikami being the person. Too many red herrings. On a more serious note, I still think the whole "Mei has a magic eye that can somehow see death" is some BS lol. |
| What an amazing journey this has been. The human mind is really fragile, so everything that happened wasn't just an edgy thing. Seems like Akazawa died after all, it was a touching scene and we also found out when she met Kouichi, but it lasted too short. She had really good moments this episode, mainly when she saved Kouichi but then she just broke down as well. But I'm glad the 4 survived. I really liked Teshigawara and Mochizuki so I'm happy they made it safe. It now makes sense why the grandma wanted to kill everyone. STILL, it's so sad to not see Akazawa together with everyone :'( So it turned out that the dead was ALSO OMG, GRANDPA YOU ARE A GENIUS. I never thought about that. Also can I just say how amazing Chibiki, the master of the library, was? He really had some great moments in this series. Seems like they followed the "tradition" and also recorded themselves, but this time saying what was the most important thing, which was the advice to really talk this through with everyone so there won't be any regrets. I enjoyed Another for what it was. Great anime and I can say that I'll miss this. I kind of wish the ending wasn't so abrupt. I wanted to see more after everything has ended. Oh yea, seems like Maejima survived, so that's good.  |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| Is nobody gonna talk about how it looked like Kouichi had a heart attack right before dealing the killing blow? He just faints right then and there, and no one says anything about it. How do we know he isn't dead now and is the next "extra" student? |
| Wow, that was really really bad. Misaki Mei was truly the villain all along, this dumb bitch could SEE the another the whole time but stayed silent all 11.99 episodes because ???. The high rating this show has can only be from people who feel like "tfw no goth eyepatch gf" because this show is just not good |
| Messy literally and figuratively...The show tried a bit too hard to seem scary and supernatural more than it was, and it took itself way too seriously. Didnt really explain things too well, and almost seemed like a Japanese version of Final Destination. Not a terrible show, but not really horror at all... a 6/10 at best for the gore and bit of thrills and overall plotline. |
| great until the last two episodes, unnecessarily overboard |
 |
| Not as good as I'd hoped it would be, but an interesting ride nonetheless. |

| I had a friend tell me they didn’t like the ending for this show but I thought this was awesome, I didn’t expect the explosive finale but imo it was very fitting for this show, and I gotta say I was not expecting Reiko/Mikami Sensei to be the yomibito/extra person, they had the idea that it could only be a student thrown out there but looking back at the connections it definitely makes sense, and it also helps explain why ignoring a student doesn’t always work, because the extra person can be a teacher lol. Hate to see her go tho, I liked Reiko a lot, as well as her teacher persona, but the deaths that hit the hardest for me was the nurse girl Sanae and Akazawa, Sanae was the plug and had Kouichi’s back for the first leg of the show but she was one of the first unfortunate victims, and Akazawa nearly made it to the end which made her death hurt even more, she was one of the best tsundere girl designs I’ve seen in an anime and I really liked her character despite the few times in this show she was a bitch, she really was only trying to protect her fellow students which resulted in her death, although I think at that point she maybe should’ve trusted Kouichi since a lot of the class had already died at that point, but it was honorable either way. And with that I’ve finished my main spooky month 2022 anime, I really really loved this one, the mystery was good and it had a fantastic spooky vibe, the show looked amazing too, very nice art and animation. I’m really glad most of the main cast lived to the end, like Kouichi, Mei, Mochizuki and Teshigawara. RIP to those that were lost along the way. And I also want to mention this has been a show I’ve been meaning to watch for a long time, I’ve known about it since around when it came out but it took me this long to get to it, I’m glad I finally did because it rocked. This will be a good rewatch too to pick up on the hints that I missed the first time. I’ll have to hit the OVA soon too. |
| Ok so they all started brainlessly killing each other which was completely dumb. Mei had to just tell them the dead person but it seems all she wanted the whole time is to not let Kouichi know about this. Also, there are some stuff idu , think ill have to dig through more to understand it. Nonetheless, I liked the horror vibes and the story is a bit interesting, first 4 episodes were but it still kept some interesting vibes throughout the series 8/10 |
| Reiko being the extra, I didn't expect. Felt bad seeing her executed like that. Would Kouichi really kill her though? He's been staunchly anti-death the entire time, but he's nearly as prepared to kill his aunt as the others were to kill random classmates. At least he and Misaki lived, which I was hoping for. To be honest, the writing is a bit tacky in this episode, but I found myself completely immersed in it anyway, in the "eyes glued to the screen" sense. For a sudden bombastic killing sequence, it didn't even feel out of place, because the characters involved were established to be not quite entirely sane from the first few episodes. |

| Damn what a plot twist! |
| Story had too many plotholes and characters were dumb. The posts about the plot issues in this thread pretty much sum it up for me. Still, while I was close to dropping it, I'm glad I didn't because it was enjoyable despite the problems. I'm also bummed that Akazawa died because she was my favorite character. But I don't know what the point of that soda can scene was between Akazawa and the MC. It didn't seem to add anything to the story, and why did they forget it? Maybe it was to show how she liked him? They seemed to suggest that at times, but then they went nowhere with it afterward. And going off that, maybe I'm biased, but it bothers me that she seemed to be an important character - like meeting with the MC at the cafe. But then when the MC hears that there's a clue in the classroom, he only tells those two guys (Naoya and Yuuya). It would've made way more sense if he told Akazawa, seeing as she's the head of the committee and literally invited him to that cafe that the MC eventually only meets the other two guys at. In the end, the survivors, apart from Mei and Sakikabara, were just characters I didn't care that much about. And while I want to like Mei (and I still somewhat do), she made so many poor decisions. At the beginning, I thought this would focus on the mystery of the original student who died, and that this current class would solve and stop it. But it ended up being a Final Destination-esque anime. This would seriously be a 10/10 anime if the plot made a lot more sense, because everything else was done so well. And if they really had to stick with this plot, I feel it should've been longer, because the last few episodes felt way too rushed. |

| Ngl I still hated Akazawa to the end LOL I seriously hate her dude That definitely wasn't the ending I was expecting though. I was so sure Akazawa was the killer or maybe that guy with glasses but nope, it was Reiko; and suddenly her not remembering absolutely nothing about the past makes sense, but also how Kouichi's grandfather was tired or funerals and was upset about Reiko too Overall though, I think this series is like maybe a 7 or 8 for me. It definitely wasn't perfect, there are definitely flaws in the writing, but I still enjoyed it! It kept me on edge and creeped me out all the way through... Someone seriously has to burn that school down lol |

SaltyCookie_ said: He forgot the scene because he was there to attend Reiko's funeral, making it the memory of the dead. She forgot it naturally due to passage of time, which is why she was able to recall the event later on. It's a vague hint at who the dead is, that also doubles as a romance subtext and possibly a red herring for the MC. I'm also bummed that Akazawa died because she was my favorite character. But I don't know what the point of that soda can scene was between Akazawa and the MC. It didn't seem to add anything to the story, and why did they forget it? Maybe it was to show how she liked him?

| It had good ending at the end but I didn't knew that the extra person was reiko! |
| I’m just confused about what the doll sub plot was about- Yes, I know it relates to Mei’s eye and why she can see the colour of death, but the whole twin/cousin thing seemed like a random addition that didn’t have anything to do with the plot. Moreover, I don’t exactly understand why having a doll’s eye gave her the power to see who was the extra. Am I missing something? Just about to watch the OVA. Perhaps that will elaborate? |
 |
| Well, that's a confusing plot twist if I've ever seen one. I just like how everyone ended up killing each other because Mei just refused to explain what happened to her twin or point out who was the dead one, and it was literally because of her inaction that over a dozen people died. What is wrong with these people? |
| Pretend there's something flashy and cool here. |
| Well... I've accidentally read spoiler so it didn't surprise me that much but, Well, now... I can say this one is very enjoyable, indeed. A little bit too slow at some parts but still tolerable. |
