2. I was under the impression that 26 years ago Misaki was a guy Quote:
2. The dead seem pretty powerful with their magical heart attacks. 3. They tried this. Explicity stated in the episode. 4. Asians are dedicated to their education. If we don't get ace everything and become a doctor, our parents ignore us like the students of 3-3 do to Misaki. Quote:
Assuming that is true, we know that Misaki must be alive since she was chosen out of a group of people that did not include the dead person. |

Mom was 15 in 1972, that's 11+ years alive before the curse claimed her Did I miss something there? I mean if one dies from the curse per month that class needs 11x12=131 students Another thing... why the hell didn't Mei say all these before? Showing off as the mysterious girl to gain his attention? considering the preview |

Before Kouichi got his answers properly explained by Mei towards the end of the fifth episode, I felt like screaming in frustration and suffocated due to the whole Class-3 decision to ignore Kouichi.
At first, I thought, "You're kidding?", they're ignoring him without giving Kouichi any answers. At that kind of circumstances, I would likely have felt trapped and desperate if I were in Kouichi's place. Spoiler:

I still think that it would be better that Mei is the ghost, if for no other reason than it sets up the dramatic ending where Mei disappears in a sobbing Kouichi's arms after he falls desperately in love with her.
However at this point we not only know that Mei is real, we also know that she can't be the ghost because her cousin died and Mei was visiting her dead body in the morgue in episode 1. Which is actually more creepy now that we know Mei is human, who the hell visits their dead cousin's body in the hospital morgue? You're cuter than is legally allowed Mei, but damn you're creepy! So it's likely that Kouichi is in fact the ghost, and the scenario will be reversed and Kouichi will likely disappear in a sobbing Mei's arms! Poor Mei ;_; |

Who got their hands on the Death Note? is what I thought when the sickly guy died that way.
If they really tried everything, I'd personally suggest they just... umm... remove the room completely? If everyone knows about the curse, I'd think they would just not even go to the school. And the way the world is, I'm surprised it isn't known to the outside world. Still, people dying every month because of the extra person? And then people die to even the number? ........? Outsiders dying and........? .........................??? When Mei was describing the curse, I couldn't help but wonder if the setting really made complete sense... Now that he is ignored, what he should do is sexually harass the girls or maybe come to school naked (same thing?). Do all kinds of things and see just how far it takes for them not to ignore him.

We also don't really have enough info to make assumptions regarding how many people outside of the school know about it. The conspiracy could always turn out to be much bigger, and his aunt is certainly involved in some suspicious way. |

You know, when you say it like that, I wonder why no one has got around to making stories about GAR ghosts. We have had a decade-plus love affair with reimagined vampires and werewolves, from Buffy the Vampire Slayer to Underworld, but why aren't ghosts getting any love? I mean, come on, just because they're ethereal doesn't mean they can't be macho. Think Patrick Swayze!

As I mulled over the premise of the curse, I couldn't help but be reminded of my army days, back when I was performing my national service. Soldiers invariably have plenty of ghost stories to share, such as one that involves performing roll call in the middle of a night operation. I'm sure you're all familiar with variants of the story: A platoon of, say, 27 men counting up in pitch dark, "...twenty-four, twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven, twenty-eight... wait, what???!!" |

I know you're j/k with the Children of the Corn thing, but it's funny how often I've thought of it while watching this show. You had an obvious supernatural element there, but most of the atrocities were perpetrated by humans. My gut tells me that's what's happening here, and I haven't forgotten that John Saul reference in the first ep - that kind of scenario is a classic element in his books even more than King's.

The thing I am wondering is..... that if ignoring a student from the class is the counter measure the class came up with...... then couldnt it be, that introducing an extra student in the form of an transfer student is a counter measure from the ghost side?? And Sakakibarakun could be dead....

Even if they do that only in their class, there is probability after graduation they will get some payback/revenge. Oh hey this is good h-doujin material. Sakakibara messed Akazawa. But Akazawa still ignore him. |

Misaki of 26 years ago is never confirmed to be a girl in the Japanese dialogue, even though subs consistently refer to the person as 'her'. He/she is always referred to as 'Misaki' or the gender-neutral terms 'アイツ' and 'その子'. Quote:

Fujioka - cause of death unknown Class rep's mother - car accident. Car accidents happen all the time, so it could have just been a coincidence it happened that year. Class rep - falling on her umbrella. I suppose it is possible somebody pushed her down, but it's a bit unbelievable he managed to make her land right on her pointy end of her umbrella. Mizuno - death by elevator. Even if we assume somebody managed to have access to the elevator and tampered with the cable, he had no way to know when exactly the cable would come off loose and that it would be Mizuno inside the elevator. What's his name - Heart attack. It happened right when he was about to pronounce Mei's name. That's one BIG coincidence. There is also the glass that was knocked off by the wind in episode three. Nobody would have done that. That means it would be yet another coincidence. That's a quite lot of them, don't you think? If it's revealed that the murderer really is a normal human, there better be some solid explanation to all this or I'll just call shitty writing.
