There has never been such a policy. If one ventures inside an episode thread, he is obviously expected to be exposed to content from said episode. It's quite redundant to spoiler-tag content from episode X, in a thread that is dedicated to episode X

Whenever it was that they started using "29 students" as a counter-measure, it had become so effective that the student body now take it for granted. Hence, the addition of Kouichi to the roster of 29 for the Class of 98 was a rude shock. It meant that, for the first time in a number of years, they would have to make someone "non-existent" again, which is understandably not a pleasant prospect for everyone involved. Actually, scratch that, because come to think of it, there is always someone volunteered to be "non-existent" every year, since they always manage to have exactly 30 students to begin with. The shock for the Class of 98, it seems, would be that they expected to have one empty desk, only to see it suddenly occupied by a late transfer, meaning that they would have to go through the whole rigmarole of pretending someone doesn't exist, only they were one month late, without realising it. EDIT: Quote:
In case people are wondering why we are talking about class rosters all over again, it's because it affects how Kanon's theory plays out, that it is Ms Mikami who is the Other, and not one of the students. If the phenomenon was triggered despite the number of students being "just right", it would mean that the teacher is the One, according to Kanon. I say it's not true because, depending on how you interpret the phenomenon to work, it's still one of the students who is an "extra", not the teacher.

She had no reason to tell anyone until now. As far as she knew, it was useless information, and she'd have no way to prove it anyway ("Hai guys, I can see dead people for realz!"). Also, I don't believe we know how long she's known.

EDIT: I should add that I've enjoyed the way this show makes me suspicious of just about everyone. Art-club boy has been ever-present but out of focus for most of the series, and when he went to take the class picture, I took that as a tell, and thought he might be the extra, since the class photos have done unusual things in the past, and this would keep him out of it... but then they went ahead and took one with him there anyway. Well played, Another. Last edited by ThereminVox; 2012-03-12 at 17:53. |

So I started considering Mikami sensei again and I've got a question. Isn't the curse supposed to erase previous traces of the Another so if she was the Another would people remember her being in charge of 3-3 in 1996?

I have to admit I would have thought that if you had bad asthma and were going on a trip you'd be damn sure to pack a spare inhaler or inhalers...
And when the guy said he'd drive him to the hospital I went "They're going to die!" Although they're in a Volvo estate so fairly sturdy! I had suspected that stopping the curse would involve a murder, though. |

Akazawa scored zero points with me by trying to throw Mei under the bus this week. I don't think the phenomenon is anyone's "fault" per se, but if anyone screwed up she did. I suspect this is the start of the downward spiral - maybe along with Teshi saying too much - that starts the "man's inhumanity to man" part of the story, the anime's way of saying "Remember when Nurse-chan dropped John Saul's name way back at the beginning?"

I wonder if Teshigawara actually hurt/killed someone on purpose or whether it was kind of an accident like what Matsunaga did. [When Matsunaga got into an altercation with that guy but then he slipped onto a branch.]

As this winter season comes to an end, this is probably going to be the most tense conclusion I've watched in a long time, especially since anything can happen at this point with the gloves coming off.
Quite frankly, given the situations they find themselves in, I'm surprised the rest of the class hasn't turn on each other till now. But like Kouichi had said, can you really bring yourself to kill one of your classmates/friends? But the worst thing about this is there it's going to happen all over again next year.

Obviously neither I liked how Izumi pointed out that Mei was at fault there for the whole thing. But it is true that she knew relevant information. The most important was the death of her sister. She said she didn't want to believe it, but at least give this piece of information to Izumi. Again, in the early episodes it was suspicious how carefreely Mei and Kouichi interacted together despite the possible curse. We know that Kouichi is her first fanboy so no questions, but mei could have been more careful. Or it is what anyone would think not knowing what she knew, that the curse was already started.
And Mei knew even who the extra is. At least tell that to Izumi or if you can't () tell it to cibiki. So even if it was not cute at all I can't see Izumi at fault in thinking that, she is at in pointing it out in that way and in that place. Anyways, Teshigawara looks suspicious to me. He push himself too far killing the school mate.

I wonder if when they reveal who the extra student is, that that student will volunteer to die? That would be a sentimental ending. If it turns out to be Izumi, I think she would do that - it is in her character to take such a heroic act, I think. (Although I don't think she's the extra). I feel that solving it so simply as having Mei be able to "see the dead" is a deux ex machina that simplifies things too much for what this series has built up so far. A bit of a let down for all the climatic apprehension that's built up to this point.

After listening to the tape she doesn't wait around much,she asks Kouichi to come to her room (he's the only person she trusts,this isn't the kind of info you tell anyone,especialy when you've got no proof apart from "I can see dead people") ask to see a photograph with a dead person in it so she can be certain that she has that power,once that was done she was going to tell him,she just got interupted. Also we're not even sure when she tried finding out who was dead,for all we know she didn't even try before listening to the tape. The problem with killing the Another is that even if he/she's dead the person doesn't know it and nobody has a way to tell for sure apart from believing in Mei's power,and right now I doubt many students would believe her.

I know that this depends on when Mei discovered who the extra is, but in theory it would have been a great difference.

Spoiler for How are they a desk short:
And yeah, I'm very happy they're going with something closer to the novel's finale instead of the route the manga took (which was awful because of magical lightning). EDIT: Quote:
It is an important question...is it alright to victimize a person (and though dead, that one person more is at least temporarily alive and breathing) to potentially save others? |
