I was disappointed that the ignoring thing was brushed aside so quickly (I kind of miss when it was just Mei & Kouichi) but it was definitely nice to get more interaction with the other classmates & I am also glad Mei & Kouichi continue to grow close.
I still don't like the horror aspects of the series at all. I am just really glad there is much more to the series. And the theory about the Another being killed during the school trip in Reiko's year makes a lot of sense to me. Finally beach episode, I am waiting to see how they will turn that into a horror story.

...Mei's repeated assurances as to Kouichi's reality make me wonder if her doll's eye really can see things. Of course, it also makes me wonder why, if that's the case, she doesn't take the eyepatch off at school and identify the dead person right away. Quote:

Was the music during the suicide scene really necessary? It was overdramatic and made the situation seem humorous, which it should obviously not be!
About the year where the deaths stopped halfway and no deceased was identified, maybe one of the deaths was the deceased "re-dying?" That facemelting was one hell of a gruesome dream.

Actualy Kouichi and Mei were in the classroom when it happened,you can see kouichi multiple times at the start of the episode and while she doesn't appear right away in this one you can spot Mei at the end of the last episode when the teacher walks in.

The suicide scene was bloodier than I'd expected, but Kouichi's nightmare was just plain scary and unsettling. Well, considering he is also a fan of horror novels...
Now we have another interesting turn in the story: someone claims to have stopped the curse mid-year. Judging from the fact that we have a beach episode coming up, looks like the events of 1983 may be repeating itself... |

That's not completely clear. They're erased when upon graduation, presumably because the Another disappears at the time. They have no idea what would happen if the Another was disappeared before the end of the school year, because that's never happened before. There's a possibility the memories are erased right then, because whatever pattern that let's the librarian figure out who the Another was after the fact weren't there anymore.

The number of red herrings being thrown at us this episode borders on ridiculous.
Everyone seems too convinced that Kouichi isn't the Another. That in itself is a red herring. But the way Mei acts this episode makes it sound like she knows considerably more than she is letting on, which is the usual for her. <3 Either she knows she is the Another, meaning she really did die on the operating table during her tumor removal, or she knows she isn't and Kouichi actually is and she is lying to him about it. Or it's possible neither of them are the Another, and this episode is mostly about messing with us! I knew something was up when they used a 3D background for only the second time in the series, I was like this has to be a dream sequence, and it was! Kouichi has some wicked nightmares too, that shit creeped me out pretty hardcore. That was some pretty serious Raiders of the Lost Ark face-melting going on there, very well-animated and staged with the garish nightmare-lighting. I love how they are having a beach episode and somehow it actually fits into the overarching story, it's not just some random going to the beach for fanservice and that's the only reason. I mean, there's going to be fanservice, but it's also going to move the story forward too. They completely telegraphed the events of the next episode when Kouichi and Mei were chatting with Mr. Creepy Librarian, they pretty much said that they'll have fun on the beach and then 2 people will die horribly while they are there. I'm looking forward to it. Nobody's been beheaded or dismembered yet, so maybe we'll get one of those next! |

Aside from the face-melting nightmare, there wasn't much tension in this episode. I felt high tension from the first six... I guess it's hard to keep that momentum going. The next episode doesn't look like they're intending to keep tension high throughout, either.

Well seriously these fantastical deaths are more comedic than sad. This show is most enjoyable by far for the more down to earth aspects. I too find it sad that they tossed away the ignored by the class feature of the plot since exploring the relationship of Koichi and Mei in their isolation I personally found to be really enjoyable.

My prediction for next week: Kouichi and his merry gang (Izumi, Mochizuki and Teshigawara) will discover that three students died and deduce the death of the extra person is what stopped the calamity in 1983. Afterwards, one of them will be stupid enough to share the discovery with the rest of the class, which will whip them into a murderous frenzy. Their prime targets will obviously be Kouichi and Mei.

Why does he had to kill himself inside the classroom... is he a sadist unconsciously?
More,and more... the way this events occur , I can say it's truly is more of a curse rather as a series of coincidental events (duh?!) I hate teachers that wants to be the focus of attention even until their last breath.. sheeshh...ki bab |
