Diagonaldi Very well executed

Nonureva Really Surprised!

FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

WakenPayne I started to watch this show because (I have to be honest here) a Facebook friend recommended it to me. When I found the first episode online I decided to order it. When I got it I decided after a few weeks to finally complete the show and how is it? Well, this show is in my opinion the one of the best mystery/horror stories.Okay so the plot is that 26 years ago in a 9th Grade Class at a Japanese town called Yomiyama a popular student named Misaki died. The class was in grief because this was a student loved by classmates and teachers alike. One day however a student cried out "Misaki isn't dead, Misaki is right over there" so the students continued to act as if they never died. They keep the act up right through until Graduation but unfortunately things don't stop there (How you may ask? Watch the show). In present Day a teenaged boy named Kouichi Sakabikara is going to Class 3 and everyone all acts weird and they all deny the existence of a student named Misaki Mei.Now onto what I personally loved about this series. This is one of the first mystery stories where not only was I guessing what was going to happen, not only was every single one of them wrong, but for the most part none of them were "jump the shark" That is mystery story gold. I mean with most mystery stuff I see now, most of them I either have the whole story figured out in the first act or they pull a twist where I say "...REALLY!".If there is any complaint (aside from the misplaced theme song) it's that for a third of the show it seems like a Final Destination Clone. The characters go around with their lives and they die in freak accidents. Now the characters here are a LITTLE BIT more careful and the deaths aren't overblown like in those movies (well, one is).So if you want to see an anime that has none and I mean NONE of the anime stereotypes then this is for you. It really is one of the best mystery stores I have ever seen. I would most certainly recommend it to mystery fans who can buy some supernatural stuff in it.

Morbius Fitzgerald Okay, I generally don't do reviews on IMDb unless I actually feel as though I could contribute something as a point of view towards the film or TV show. This is not an exception. I was hooked into the show from the first episode onward.The plot is that a student named Sakakibara Kouichi enrolls in Yomiyama High School, Grade 9, Class 3. It turns out that the particular class he enrolled in has its own urban legend; 26 years ago, a student named Misaki, who was really popular, died during the mid year break. A student eventually said that Misaki wasn't dead and Misaki was in the class, still learning. Back in present day, however, Kouichi meets a girl at Yomiyama high called Misaki and the other students deny she ever exists.That is all I will reveal about the plot in this review. This is actually one of those horror/mystery genre titles where if you have little to no exposure about the plot, you will be guessing everything. It also is one of those mystery shows where the final twist isn't a letdown. I have seen way too many mystery films where the build up was really good but the reveal as to what was really doing all the damage just ruined everything and made it stupid. The same goes for a TV show. And to see a show where they don't only keep the mystery well hidden but the reveal isn't a letdown, that is just great.I also have to admit, this show does portray a creepy tone throughout the entire run. It never gets to the stage of truly being terrifying but I have to admit, with some of the things that went on, I was actually creeped out by some of the stuff that happened. Kudos to them for also making the first horror title in years that actually, you know, was creepy.Now when it comes to things like the animation of this show...it looks fantastic. Okay, if you aren't really into the anime style of drawing then you probably won't like the style of the characters sometimes but the texture of some of the setting and the Gothic anime style makes it seem so rich in atmosphere that it works really well to the shows advantage.The other thing is that the voice acting (at least in the Japanese version) is spot on. The way they act makes me want to know more about these characters, for example a lot is left in mystery as to Misaki's character and with all the gruesome deaths that happen in the show (none of which are caused by her...I won't say anything else) she mainly keeps to a calm voice throughout all of the show. Some might say thats bad voice acting but it makes the character more interesting. The English dub...well, the animation was nice.So overall, I loved watching this show. I completed it in 3 days flat and I enjoyed every second of watching it. I will definitely put it on my "Top 10 TV Shows" list. So if you're into the idea of a horror and/or mystery premise which is surprisingly well put together, check it out.

Jim Fess I wont lie for the first 2 episodes and right up until the last minute of episode 3 i really wasn't to into this show at all, but that all changed after episode 3 ended. I was discouraged right off the bat cause of the first two episodes, all you hear about is this mystery and all the characters begin to talk about it and never finish, it was just pissing me off because it felt like the show wasn't moving anywhere at all. It picked up at the end of episode 3 enough that made me think hey this show might be worth it, so i stuck with it and i wasn't disappointed. Even at the very end i was honestly surprised by the outcome. This was my first serious pure mystery anime I've ever seen and i have to say it was pretty good. It had some violence, and a ton of eerie mystery vibe that i started to like. So if your looking for a good mystery anime with blood then you will most likely like this, but make sure you give it a chance past episode 3 because for me i didn't like it at all until i got past that point.Overall: 4/5. Why? Well the voice acting wasn't as good as i think it could of been, especially in the beginning. It may have stayed the same throughout and i just got use to it but i remember thinking to myself several times i hate the way they sound like their forcing themselves to talk like that. But I really liked the characters, they all had good personalities but i think one of the only reasons i was able to stick through in the beginning was "Mei Misaki" i really loved her vibe and look.

kdv93 It's not too often an Anime keeps me guessing where the story is going, but Another certainly did that. From very early on in the story till the very climax of it all (which should be noted is extremely satisfying) Another never steps in the tracks of the expected, which is quite something for a horror story.Though progressing somewhat slow in the beginning after the third episode the series boosts away and rarely stops to let you take a breath. As a mixture of true mystery/horror and Final Destination style deaths it's clear that no one is safe. Except for the "Another" off course.Ki o tsukete!
