After hard promises of ‘no romance’ and ‘yuri-gal wannabes’, I decided to check out this so called suspense anime of the decade.
*Snicker*
Surprisingly, I managed to get through the whole 9 eps but at least the suffering wasn’t in vain. I found a few interesting things…^^
You know how camera’s like to take off when the MCs are having some kind of boring talk in order to focus on other totally un-related scenes?
Well, it was interesting when the girls above would pop up in most of them. They felt like some kind of filler lesbian couple or something.
I am starting to get attached and if they survive the next two episodes, I might even just learn their names off.
Might.
They seem to be the most plausible at the moment after the other one got…
My radar was deafening at the above scene. They had so obviously been having last time sexing those two!
Why last time sex? Because one of them was skipping town.
Bad move girls! When you start ditching each other is when things go full despair. You should have stuck together! On the other hand, it was probably the parents’ fault but still, the ‘ghost’/curse/whatever the hell is responsible, doesn’t give a frak!
And because they weren’t strong enough to stay together, that’s what happens!
And I was starting to like them too.
Sigh
At least they had time for some ‘remember me’ sex, am I right?
I guess all is left is to ship dolls. After all, they can’t die on us.
Hmmm, Mei might be onto something there….
Speaking of Mei,
She sure has a photographic memory of a naked girl’s body there.
Hmmmm
Love/hate?
I will take it!
And finally, this cracked me up pretty good…
…No
I don’t believe it
I don’t fuckin’ believe it!
Bitch ruined my tan!!!
Must be hard getting a good tan in that always moody town

Good to hear you swallowed your pride and gave this one a shot. I see you immediately noticed the background lesbians like any true nation member should easily be able to spot. You even took it a step further with background girls 3 and 4.
Hopefully Drama Girl 2 didn’t die in that car crash. Drama Girl 1’s NEET must have either been working on a horror VN, watching eroge or visiting my blog before dying.
Wow, you’re even trying to ship Mei and Angry Tails? I salute you for your dedication to the cause dood. But let’s be honest here, the show wants to pair up Mei with Male Lead for some dumb reason.
Ah well. Maybe your senses gave you a foresight of what’s to come.
March 9, 2012 at 20:16
Bah!
That was just in case it does happen.
Worse still is that angry tails is also hot for MC!
And my MC doesn’t mean Main Character/Male Character.
It means something else. I hope you guess it ^^
As for the town jumper, I doubt she survived that. If this were any other anime other than Another…
March 9, 2012 at 21:08
Do you mean the energetic guy? Because that’s the only other person I’ve noticed Angry Tails reacting towards…or do you mean the other megane girl who’s still alive other than my sweet Reiko?
Yeah, I ws being foolishly optimistic in hoping she’d survived. Man this “curse” is taking away lives as quick as Battle Royale 1 did, yet it’s STILL not as creepy as BRS TV. BRS TV has definitely scared me and shocked me way more than Another. At least Another’s living up to its suspense/thriller hype. It fails as horror though.

Oh Lord, BRS…
I need a moment
March 9, 2012 at 20:47
Oh. Wow. Didn’t pick up that at all with scene. Saw it as heavy foreshadowing that death was imminent for one or both of the characters or whoever was closely related to them. Lesbians? No. Haha.

Yuri Goggles,
They are your next best friend ^^
You should so try them out ^_-

I’m kind of glad the Background Couple has kind of disappeared off the show. I always had a fear that they would get some focus, and then they would be killed at the end of the episode. This way at least the Nation can always imagine that they survive and live long and happy lives if they don’t come back.
As for the Drama Girls, I guess I was too focused on the doom that I knew was coming for them to notice, but now I can see it quite well. Honestly I want Drama Girl 01 to survive more then ever and then they pledge to be together… and die together if such is fate.
I could honestly see both for the Background Couple and the Drama Girls, first after they have run as far away from Yomiyama as possible, each couple trying to live each day not worrying about the curse and just focusing on their love, since they could die at any time.
As for Anger Tails and Mei, I honestly don’t see it. Have they actually even spoken directly in show? More importantly have they talked about anything not related to the curse and/or the male lead? Mei has more chemistry with the other girls in the art club, which I really wanted to see more of. Hell it was pleasant surprise that no only did the rest of the school not pretend Mei didn’t exist, but she had friends too.

I am surprised too that the background couple are still alive. Here is to hoping they stay that way>.<
There is no pigtails x Mei. I was just disillusioning – after all, Anger tails seems to have it in for Mei, doesn't she? I wonder why.
Oh wait, love rivals *roles eyes*
As for the Drama Couple, Even if girl 2 survives, she is gonna be so broken. Not only did her bro die, but when she finds out about girl 1….
Sigh

Did a little digging. Girl 01’s name is Ayano while Girl 02’s name is Yumi by the way. I have not found a translation yet of the names of the Background Couple. The official site does have a class roster in Japanese, but the site also has possible spoilers.
March 10, 2012 at 01:12
It’s too late to learn names now. One of them is already KIA!
The other…Only time will tell
March 10, 2012 at 02:10
Actually I did some double checking and Girl 01’s full name is Ayano Aya and Girl 02 is Ogura Yumi.
Also I did find the names of the Background Couple. The long brown haired girl is Kanaki Anzu while the short haired girl is Matsui Aki.
March 10, 2012 at 02:13
Ah thanks,
I will be sure to use them next time…if they survive >_>
March 10, 2012 at 00:55
Haven’t seen this anime but what’s up with the last pictures? Lol
Reminds me of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
March 10, 2012 at 01:06
It is a horror show so…
March 10, 2012 at 02:46
My take is that if we never see the background lesbians again is because they ran away together to another city to start their new life, either running away from their family or to avoid getting killed.
March 10, 2012 at 12:20
Running away though doesn’t always work it seems….
Well, at least we won’t know if they are dead that way.
March 10, 2012 at 06:43
Another… watching or not watching… that’s the question.
I’m not entirely convinced by the premise of this. And have a male lead…
Maybe I will read the manga first.
March 10, 2012 at 12:29
Seems fans don’t like it that much.
But if it had only come before Madoka, this would have made a name for it’s self.
That third episode ending almost made me gasp. Almost. Too bad I had already given the feeling I would have to Mami-san.
And despite it’s genre, another doesn’t twist the heart like BRS is doing at the same time.
I guess watching Another is like watching real world news.
