Re: Akazawa and Kouichi
Spoiler: show I think we can both claim half credit for guessing the way to stop the curnomenon. Spoiler: show Speaking of sexual innuendo, LOL at the scene where... Spoiler: show I find the eye explanation a convenient cop-out at this point, but meh. It's the obvious answer we've been expecting. Re: Teshi Spoiler: show

Spoiler: show Re: Kazami Spoiler: show Re: Creepy Kouichi The scene is 01:15 in the prologue. It certainly looks like he's standing in the woods. In the rain. Hey, isn't there a thunderstorm going on right now? Re: Akazawa Spoiler: show Re: Chandelier I guess I'll arbitrarily pick Glasses Girl #1 then. ^~ On a somewhat related note: Checking through the cameos again, I haven't been able to pinpoint the scene of Teshi yelling from the balcony, since the positioning might put a damper in my theory considering he'd have to be yelling at someone already below. However, I did notice Mochizuki seemed to spot something outside the window that arrested his attention. Spoiler: show Edit- Found the scene. Ho ho, perhaps I'm right after all. Teshi's still in the room when he's yelling. He's just facing directly towards the outside, arguing at eye level. Also, right before that scene... Spoiler: show

Well, you've got a lot to look forward to then. Try to pace yourself. Hell, if I were in your position, I might even try to put off watching 11 until mid-to-late week. That way, I could have minimum delay between 11 and 12. But if you do decide to watch all the episodes you're backlogged on right now, I'm sure Yuki and I and the others won't mind!

Yuki and I talked and talked and talked this one into the ground on Skype. ^^; (Apologies!) But yes, we've both seen Episode 11 as well. It was ...
Yuki says: "Something." Talon says: Not sure if great, terrible, or some combination of the two. It definitely came out of nowhere, that much I can say with confidence. Spoiler: show On to Episode 12!

For all my nitpicking, I enjoyed this episode. It was because there was so much ridiculousness that it's easy to just sit back and take it all in stride. Quote:
P.S. If you want to see a real silly reaction face, check out Teshi's at 9:11: O_O

Double-posting because I think I may have stumbled on something important?
Still putting stock in Knox man's (you know who I'm talking about, Talon) claim that there is a major clue to Another's identity which is made "obvious" by episode 10, I've been poring over it repeatedly. I don't know if this is it, but I've just realized... Spoiler: show

You can read more about the different causes of pneumothorax here. tl;dr it's conceivable that, depending on the author's impressions about pneumothorax from the medical literature, Kouichi either ought to have the aura of death about him or he ought not to. And so ... we can't really say much more until the story wraps up.

Just watched Episode 12. It was ... good and okay and ehhh all wrapped into one. ^_^; I didn't care for how everyone just completely lost their minds over the past two episodes, but I definitely appreciated the tugging at my heartstrings that they did both at the halfway point and at the final climax.
Spoiler: show Overall, I feel like Another was a pretty good show. And so ... I guess it's Review Time. Plot: 7/10. It was a decent enough mystery story. A little silly at times and not too amazing of a mystery, but pretty good nonetheless. Definitely worth checking out if you like mysteries and you like anime. Characters: 8/10. I gave this a 9/10 at first but that feels maybe a mite too generous, I dunno. In any event, the characters were well done. Sure, they were kinda tropey, but they were very exemplary in their tropishness. I enjoyed them. Animation: 10/10. Very good animation. The color, the lusciousness, the physics, all of it. Very well done. Music: 7/10. It does the bare minimum it needs to do: provide pleasant ambient music for most of the episode and then provide tense, exciting music for the tense, exciting climaxes. Not a big fan of either the OP or the ED, will not be getting their CDs. Probably won't bother with the show's OST either. Replay Value: 3/10 to 7/10. It's always hard to say with a mystery. It could be as low as a 3/10 because, let's face it, a lot of the fun in watching a murder mystery is trying to figure out who the culprit is and once you know that, well, you know it and it removes a lot of the suspense and intrigue. On the other hand, it could be as high as a 7/10, especially on the second viewing specifically, as you not only re-enjoy what was otherwise a well-presented story but you specifically look for any and all clues that might have tipped you off as to the ghost's identity. So I dunno, this one's tough to say. OVERALL: 7/10. I liked the show, but the final two episodes did the story more harm than good in my eyes. Probably would have been a generous 8/10 before them, but now I can safely say that this show gets a solid 7/10. It was a good show, and a 7/10 ought to fairly reflect that.

Last episode watched. Details about the last episode in the spoiler box.
Spoiler: show All in all, I just saw Another as something to laugh at. It had a great buildup, but I just wasn't crazy about how it all played out. For the most part, I couldn't take the show seriously enough to care about the deaths and all that, and just make fun of how over-the-top and silly they were. The pillar fall in episode 12 was hilarious by the way. To me, Another deserves a 6. |

So, apparently Another got an OAV episode. O_o "Episode 00," taking place before the events of the series proper. I went ahead and watched the pre-OP credits scene, the OP credits, the first minute after the OP credits, then I grew bored and started to skip through the episode. When I landed upon the only thing I felt was worth watching maybe for some sort of tie-in to the actual series, I watched it. Not a pleasant scene though. And then the episode was over soon afterward.
Spoiler: show Underwater doesn't appear to have moved to translate this yet. For now, I went with Commie. Someone's asked Daiz on the Underwater blog if he plans to work on this so we'll see.

OK, I've started watching this. It's mildly interesting...but not like, gripping, as tsuritama and Yes PreCure 5! have been.
I'm on Episode 2 and the nurse is infuriating me. I just took a test yesterday about HIPAA protocols involving PHI (protected health information). The nurse offered to find out the name of the dead patient. W.T.F., nobody in their right mind would do this. I can't believe the hospital to be "shut down" like it is, too. And why's the nurse so fancy with main dude-kun?

Going to throw stuff out here.
Spoiler: show What's funny is I agree with you 100%, she was definitely attractive before the "drunken misery" stage. I think I commented to BBB that Kouichi should ask her for H, but I didn't know she was an aunt until way later. I found it odd that everyone in this class is 14 or so, but they're too well-endowed. It's really off-putting. My scribbles from the first few episodes or so- Spoiler: show
