Another

That was so inline with what I was thinking that I took that scene 100% seriously until it was revealed to be a dream sequence. Double trolled.

I think what Twintails mentioned about "warm hands" is an interesting comment. Koichi's aunt always looks like Death warmed over. It makes me ill just looking at her. And the teacher trying to commit suicide(?) came out of nowhere. It seemed like the hot assistant teacher would crack first, and this guy would remain impartial to most everything.

Does anyone else find the rules to die kind of strange? A fairly close relative that has to be currently living in the town ... that's some odd restrictions for a supposedly supernatural activity. And the "charm" is apparently only effective half the time and can fail for seemingly no reason at all.

yeah,it's strange to me too.

to me,because of the teacher suddenly gonna kill himself in the next episode,the class gonna be on a break for days/weeks and because of that some students are probably gonna die because the "ghost" might not gonna tolerate the students not being in the class.
but that's just my assumption.

Just a hunch but... does that doll eye give Mei the ability to know who's dead or not?

Oh, look, the year the aunt was in Class 3, they did not find out who the dead person was. Heh.

It certainly seems like Koichi isn't the one who is dead. I doubt Mei is the one who is dead either. Even despite her lack of love for cell phones. Although the way she gave Koichi her number was cute, borderline tsundere. Twintails looks like the one most likely to be dead. Her inability to remember why she feels fairly familiar with Koichi is unsettling. And we don't know how much weight we can put on that "cold hands" trick since, as pointed out, it would be really effective if it actually worked.

Anyway, next is the beach episode that will almost certainly end with one, possibly two, grisly deaths.

It's kinda weird that the next eps will be a beach episode with the students look like they're having fun while the killing phenomenon still actives.
Hmmmm..... *Thinking mode on*

If you've been paying attention, you'd know that all incidents are within the town itself. Nothing will happen outside the town or to anybody outside of the town. I believe the currently episode discussed this while they were looking into the curse.

So either they went on a trip to help ease the mess the curse is causing, or it's someone's imagination. We'll know next episode, but I think they all went on a trip.

What if twintails is the dead one, and shes actually Kouichi's twin sister that died at birth. thats why she kind of remembers him. but its only a guess.

That start. Fucking watermelon. Anyway, you could feel something bad building up throughout the entire episode, despite most of it being all happy, and the anticipation waiting to see what it is that will happen. Then he gets annihilated by a boat. Liking this series so far. As usual, looking forward to the next episode.

Great episode, Nice boat. That is all. I was kind of hoping for a happy fun obligatory summer episode with no dying but oh well

I did not expect someone to actually die. I figured this to be the calm before the clusterfuck of a storm that was sure to come. There was certainly a lot of tension throughout the episode in spite of me thinking of it as a happy beach episode. There's certainly a lot of questions this raised about the "phenomenon" that were thought to be certain. Hell, we don't even know if this is actually related to the "phenomenon" either.

Not seeing the Final Destination thing. Aside from people dying, Another has no relation to that. Maybe I'm giving the writer too much credit, but don't you guys think that maybe we are jumping to conclusions here? I mean, Mei turned out not to be a ghost, so maybe, just maybe, these killings are not actually paranormal at all. They may well be gruesome coincidences, and possibly in some cases intentional.
