King of Games Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 because that's not a confusing title. [img]http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-01sAzuY9-b4/Tw8F-ggJ8eI/AAAAAAAACeI/r6aXwthN4y0/s1600/another_anime.jpg[/img] The only new show I've followed this season so far. Following synopsis unshamefully stolen from the TvTropes page. "Twenty-six years ago, in a third-year classroom of Yomiyama North Middle School, there was a student named Misaki. As an honors student who was also good at sports, the charming girl was popular with her classmates. When she suddenly died, her classmates decided to carry on as if she were still alive until graduation. Then, in the spring of 1998, a boy named Kouichi Sakakibara transfers to that classroom, and he grows suspicious of the fearful atmosphere in that classroom. In particular, there is an aloof girl with doll-like beauty named Mei Misaki who wears an eyepatch and is always alone drawing pictures." I'm really liking this horror-mystery show. The atmosphere this show has is amazing. The main spends alot of time never knowing what the f*** is going on. Then there is the Misaki girl who's existence is under scrutiny. 5 eps in and I need more.

Legend Zero Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I'm watching it currently, and enjoying it. The theme song is amazing. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burnpsy Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Dropped mid-way through episode 1. TBQH, not my thing. I even went and looked up spoilers as usual to see if there was anything in there I would enjoy if I stayed. Nope. Only series I actively dropped this season.

DSS Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Had a great start but as it progressed, the story became more and more like a Final Destination plot. Soundtrack is brilliant (can't say the same for the theme song since it doesn't fit). Would have been nicer if they used the manga art since its far superior. Will continue to watch this and hopefully it won't make me predict 100% what will happen next ._. . But still its been a while since i've added a horror-psychological-mystery anime.

DARKPLANT RISING Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Semi-necro but I suppose it's allowed in this section. Anyhow, for people who dropped this anime: look at it till at least ep 5. Eps 1 and 2 are basically explanation of the backstory. 3 is where the plot starts to move, 4 is where it develops, and 5 is where it finally becomes clear. Looked at all current eps, and this show is hella amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shalltear Bloodfallen Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Not my usual cup but it sounds promising so I probably going to have to give it a watch sometime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo-R. Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 A friend recommended it to me and it looks really interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Games Posted March 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Series is nearing the end now, ep 12 should be the last one. These kids are surprisingly efficient at getting themselves killed. "The only way to see if you're supposed to be dead is to kill you!" It makes a lot of sense and no sense at the same time.

DARKPLANT RISING Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Series ended. ...Last 2 eps were a giant mind f***er, and I think it coulda done better, but it was definitely one of the better animes this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Zero Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 The last manga chapter came out around a week before the final episode....I hate myself for reading it. DX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Games Posted March 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Why is it when a bunch of extras die in quick succession like here and in Blood-C, I just find it funny? I'm worried for my soul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Another was really good; it hooked me into watching the whole series in two shots straight, 9 episodes for the second one. [spoiler=Although I found a few things that weren't believable] Firstly, how does Mei's glass eye have the ability to see the color of death? It'd make sense if she really did turn out to be a ghost, but the way it's presented, we're supposed to accept the fact just because. Secondly...why did Mei wait that long to get rid of Reiko? If she really was resolved to kill her, wouldn't she have been rational enough to take care of the problem before any unnecessary deaths? Thirdly, how is it Koichi and most of the other kids were so freaking calm about some of the later deaths? They heard Teshigawara just killed Kazama and they're just like "...you sure?" instead of "F*CK F*CK, WHAT THE F*CK'S WRONG WITH YOU?" like most people would. You [i]could[/i] say the constant deaths throughout the series desensitized them, but meh. Finally, why was everyone [i]walking[/i] in the burning building? If a building's on fire, I'm gonna pull a Sonic and dash the f*ck outta there.[/spoiler] I know that sounded like I had huge problems with Another, but it really was gripping, suspenseful, and a pretty good story to tell.

King of Games Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 I know the dead person was properly forshadowed, but ...[spoiler=''major spoiler"]i never caught that Reiko and the assistant teacher were the same person.[/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sage Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 The only thing I majorly disliked was the OP, which as said didn't fit at all, and the ED transition. I mean, you barely notice it at all. Is at episode 8-9 (I think). Good show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARKPLANT RISING Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 [quote name='King of Games' timestamp='1333079861' post='5894649'] I know the dead person was properly forshadowed, but ...[spoiler=''major spoiler"]i never caught that Reiko and the assistant teacher were the same person.[/spoiler] [/quote] [spoiler=Actually]They used a lot of tricks to stop anyone from realizing that. For one, while their real voice actors are the same person, they created a fake name for a non-existant voice actor for the credits, and even made a new page for that fake voice actor in the business office's home page (after the final episode, that page was deleted). And of course, for another (no pun intended), she used different voice tones. I didn't realize it either. BTW, this is a completely irrelevant topic, but Mochizuki is special 'cause he's the only major character who didn't kill / think of killing anyone, AND wasn't killed.
