Wow, subforum already? Excellent!

So, stairs and elevators are out. If you're afraid of escalators, this could be a real problem.

Nice, Another has been escalated to subforum status. :)

Endless "Check your laces" Soul

Indeed, Another has been lifted to a subforum.

And I am probably going to be taking the stairs for while after this episode.

I like Another but a subforum for a serie of 12 episodes and for a genre which is not that popular ? Really :twitch: ?

About the episode : A good one. It's more or less the same than the manga. Overall, 7/10.

Well when you do take the stairs, don't run and always keep a hand on the handrail.

Endless "Safety first" Soul

And remember to not ever bring an umbrella when you do :)

*Ksplat*

Poor nurse. Face first on the floor...

Yes, really?? I finally have a reason to be excited again.

Point off only because everyone's decision to tell Kouichi nothing just because Izumi was out of class on the first day is looking really, really dim at this point. Otherwise.. :)

fuckin lawl, I was thinking the same thing.


FUCK. I can't believe another one's out. She starting to become one of my favorites too.

How can I sleep tonight.

So you are saying that the nurse should have been splattered against the roof of the elevator first, before slamming into the ground? Yeouch.

So because this isn't shounen fighting/summoning monsters or franchise series it shouldn't have a subforum? Traffic for this series has been the best for winter anime, it has an air of mystery that can lead to many kinds of speculations and discussion which it has and has at least 1 character that needs a discussion thread. We've done subforums for 12 epi series before that have thrived and some for 24 that have failed. I think this was a great candiate for it. People can disagree, fine but nearly 1K posts in 4 epis with a rise each time gets ones attn.

Ugh don't make your physics teacher cry. :heh:.

The "morale" of the story of whoever dropping two balls from the Tower of Pisa is that acceleration is the same for free-falling objects regardless of your mass (inc. the elevator and the nurse). Of course practically the elevator may fall slower than free fall speed due to friction with the shaft. But anyway when the elevator hits the ground you will be slammed into the ground. I don't really see how you have any chance to be splattered against the roof first.

Btw that video was only for showing how the myth of survival by jumping right before the elevator hits the ground is only a myth.

I am an arts student btw and never did physics. :heh:

Didn't the elevator roof fall on her though? But yeah her face wouldn't have splatted that fast :heh:

Was not expecting this series to get a subforum since it's usually the high profile slice of life and action series that tend to get it, but nonetheless I am happy to see it get one as it is well deserved. It's my clear favorite of the winter season (which btw is pretty bleak to me, but then again it's winter which is usually when it's the quietest) and I haven't seen a good horror/mystery anime series since Shiki.

4 episodes, and we have 2 people die in the last two eps. I guess future eps is going to play the "Guess who's gonna die next" game :p

This episode gave me another reason to perfer extendable umbrellas(which often don't have pointy ends as far as I've seen).

Hooray for a subforum~!

Yet another great episode no pun was intended XD God stairs now elevators....
So Mizuno was killed since her brother was in the class, so she is connected? So if someone on the outside were to get in on it, would they die too?

You would also prefer to take the stairs, and be extremely cautious of falling objects and the traffic while walking in the streets. The "residual effects" of this anime towards its viewers seem to be pretty positive and healthy. :D
