Another	comment	A horror/mystery novel by Yukito Ayatsuji which was published in 2009, and later adapted into manga and a 2012 anime by P. A. Works.Twenty-six years ago, in the 9th grade's class 3 (Class 3-3) of Yomiyama North Middle School, there was a student named Misaki. As an honors student who was also good at sports, the charming boy was popular with his classmates. When he suddenly died, his classmates decided to carry on as if he were still alive until graduation. Then, in the spring of 1998, a boy named Kouichi Sakakibara transfers to that classroom, and he grows suspicious of the fearful atmosphere in that classroom. In particular, he becomes curious about an aloof girl with doll-like beauty named Mei Misaki who wears an eyepatch and is always alone, drawing pictures. Soon, students around him start dying in gruesome ways, and now Kouichi has to solve the mystery of the event that has taken the lives of so many students throughout the classroom's history if he wants to break the cycle of death that has plagued this school for decades.For those in the US, the series can be watched legally at Crunchyroll and The Anime Network.A Live-Action Adaptation in a form of a movie aired in Japan on August 4, 2012.A spinoff novel, entitled Another: Episode S was released in Japan on July 31, 2013 (with an American version coming May 24th, 2016), and a sequel entitled Another 2001 was released on September 30, 2020.Compare Final Destination for another work in which people die from bizarre, supernatural "accidents."

Another / int_13973747	comment	Necro Non Sequitur: How Yukari Sakuragi dies. You will never look at umbrellas the same way again. The excavator in Episode 9. Takako's death in the anime. A fire from earlier in the episode wells up and create an explosion from the backdraft, which destroys some of the building's foundations. She then gets caught in some of the loose wires, which are somehow hoisted into the air and end up strangling her to death. The fact that none of this should be physically possible doesn't lessen it any. This nearly happens in Episode 12, where several students are seemingly crushed by a falling chandelier in the opening scenes. The one who manages to get up and run away gets crushed by a randomly falling pillar before reaching the door while the rest survive.

Mei also has a cousin/twin sister named Misaki Fujioka, who also plays an important role in the plot.

After a student beloved by the whole school tragically died, they all pretended he was still alive, up until the day they graduated. However, in doing so they "brought their class closer to death", essentially causing a malfunction in reality. Thus, a single deceased person was to be resurrected every year as an extra student, with the memories of the living being rewired in accordance. Now a paranormal force is attempting to rectify this mistake, using causality to engineer the Extra's death and return them to the grave but most of the time, it is one of the living who ends up killed.

Another / int_1c445e86	type	Poor Communication Kills
Another / int_1c445e86	comment	Poor Communication Kills: Many times: Justified by a really nasty Catch-22. Class 3's continued survival depends on pretending that Mei doesn't exist. On the other hand, explaining that to Kouichi would require them to acknowledge her existence in the first place, which would trigger the events they're trying to prevent. Needless to say, things go to hell very quickly indeed. They probably could have gotten away with it if they'd told him before he officially started attending class, but by the time they got around to it Kouichi had already acknowledged Mei's existence, leaving everyone unsure as to how best to proceed. Mei has the power to detect the taint of death in people at all time, but her classmates just have to shutdown all communication channels with her. If Mei has told anyone that Misaki was in reality her twin sister, people wouldn't be left in the dark about the progress of that year's Calamity and she wouldn't have been blamed for failing as the 'nonexistent student'. And there wouldn't be any theories about her 'returning incomplete', thus being the dead person, in the Episode 11. There's also Mei's not telling anybody but Kouichi about her ability earlier than she did. Though given how everyone responded to the knowledge of the tape and the possibility that she was the "Extra", her keeping quiet is probably justified. Also, in the manga version Mei tells Kouichi that her ability explicitly does not allow her to see accidental deaths coming. This means that she couldn't necessarily save anyone or prevent their death anymore than anybody else in her position could, and could still get her blamed for failure because of it. Plus, the ability to spot the "Extra" didn't have any practical use until the characters discovered the tape and learned killing them could end the Calamity. Finally, in Episode 12, Mei finally reveals to Kouichi who the extra was (she did try earlier, but was interrupted by Teshigawara). When he asks her why she didn't tell him sooner, she says that he wouldn't have believed her anyway. Probably could've saved a lot of deaths had she of communicated this sooner, but everything fits together once they replay all the clues sprinkled out throughout the series at once for anyone who missed it. Considering how her reacts when he learns that his aunt was the "extra" and he'll have to return her to death to end the curse, it isn't hard to see why she'd have trouble telling him. We also have an example of an inverse of this trope in the series. When the boys go in search of a clue to how to end the calamity, they decide not to tell anyone about what they are doing. Except they run into Yumi Ogura and Aya Ayano along the way and fill them in on their intentions. If they had stuck to their guns, Ogura would never have let that information slip to Izumi and Takako, which would prevent them listening to the tape and inspiring an unhinged Takako from making a general announcement that inspires half the class to try and kill Mei at the climax of the series.

Another / int_275773bd	comment	Curse Escape Clause: The Calamity has no known way of being truly ended, however, the students of class 3-3 have devised a Protective Charm that can keep them safe. This being to designate a student as a non-person, and having them and their homeroom teacher ignore them for the entire school year. This is believed to "balance out" the Extra student throwing off the correct number of students. However, this charm only has a 50% success rate, sometimes failing for explainable reasons (the non-person breaking under the pressure and demanding to be acknowledged) and sometimes not. Before that though, a student found an alternative solution by accident. Katsumi Matsunaga of the 1983 class got into an argument with another student that turned violent, and accidentally pushed him onto a branch and he died. Wracked with guilt, and confused no one noticed the other student was missing, he returned to the scene of the crime to find nothing but broken branches. He had unknowingly killed the Extra, and this restored balance to the class. Knowing the curse caused Laser-Guided Amnesia and rewrote records, he taped his findings onto a cassette and hid it, hoping a future class could use this knowledge to save themselves. Pairing the above with the ability of Mei Misaki to see the color of death around a person, she had identified the Extra early in the series but took no action since she had no idea killing them would restore balance. With her ability and Katsumi's knowledge, Kouichi is able to end the curse for that year by killing the Extra.

To be fair, nobody had any idea that Mei's actions as 'the nonexistent' couldn't have anything to do with the start of calamity at the point Kouichi transferred, so Akazawa's reasoning was valid. Kazami murders a student in the last episode while she's begging Kouichi to help her, and shows exactly no remorse over it, even when he learns she wasn't the Extra. To put this in perspective, Takako does explain she's unwilling to kill Kouichi because she's convinced he isn't the Extra. When Akazawa beats him to death almost immediately thereafter, you can't help but feel by now he had it coming.

The anime has a similar ending, except worse since Akazawa and Kazami both die at the mansion. The ending of the original novel is on par with this, as Akazawa breaks her neck when she falls from a veranda. The ending is also heartbreaking and a Sequel Hook Tear Jerker. Sure, you manage to end the dreaded Class 3-3 curse for this year for now, but over half the class and many of the classmates's family members are dead. And Mei, Koichi, and the remaining surviving students recorded a tape and hid the tape in the locker with valuable information about the curse, implying that the Class 3-3 curse hasn't ended permanently.

When she's leaving Nakao's funeral, she throws a glare over her shoulder at Mei. In Episode 10, she decides to blame Mei for the reactivation of the curse. When Sakakibara attempts to defend Mei, the camera focuses on her angrily biting her lower lip. On top of that, the episode opened with Akazawa having a dream about Sakakibara that exemplified her growing feelings for him. Clearly, Akazawa is very jealous of Mei for how close she and Sakakibara have become. In Episode 12, she seems almost excited in getting rid of her "rival" for him, and hated how he keeps interrupting her. Then she seems to simply give up and considers killing him as well.

While everyone else is horrified speechless, Takako screams very loudly, and is very nearly inconsolable at his funeral in the next episode. After surviving an encounter with the homicidal inn-keeper, she also admits to Izumi if the other girl had died too, she'd probably not be able to keep going her self.

But Mei reassures him that the calamity had already begun when he started making contact with her. You can almost hear the audience breathe a sigh of bittersweet relief. The entire Class 3-3 of Yomiyama Misaki, hands down. Simply by pretending that a beloved classmate was still alive and graduated with them, they supposedly "opened the gateway to Death" and brought down a catastrophe that terrorizes every future generation of Class 3-3 students and their families. And by extension, the dead student, whose presence in the class jeopardizes the lives of every student around them as well as their families, even though that person was forcibly brought back to life and had no ways to know they are dead.

They are actually subtle hints at things to come. Also the early episodes have quite a few subtle hints that only make sense once we are told (or notice that they have very similar character design, but more likely the former) that Reiko and Ms. Mikami are the same person, and hint that she is the dead one. A minor one but if you look closely to Kouichi's hospital table in the first episode, the Stephen King book Mizuno points out to is Pet Sematary. Any King fan watching would know it was all about the consequences of trying to bring the dead back to life, a recurring theme in the series. Around the time Kouichi becomes the second "non-existent" student, Mr. Kubodera says that Ms. Mikami goes along with it in spite of how difficult it is for her. It's difficult because she's Kouichi's aunt.

The school administration is not very helpful with preventing the curse, putting a transfer student in class 3-3 (resulting in the class's initial Poor Communication Kills problem) and making Ms. Mikami the assistant homeroom teacher (she had already had a harrowing experience as class 3-3's homeroom teacher two years prior). Turns out the latter was necessary because she's the extra person and has to be in the class, even if Fake Memories result in a backstory that would make the homeroom teacher appointment seem unwise.

However, the rest of class 3-3 chose to pretend that he was still alive until graduation. This altered the class to a place that "invited death". Every year since, an extra student has appeared on the roster—a dead person. All significant records and memories—even those belonging to the dead students themselves—are altered to accommodate them, and the identity of the dead person is not brought to light until graduation. Additionally, at least one person with connections to 3-3 dies every month. The only way to prevent the deaths, as Class 3-3 discovered through trial and error, is to treat one student as if they don't exist for the entire year to "even out" the imbalance caused by an extra student. Or they can find the "extra" and kill it to end the curse for that year.

Somewhat tragic, since Takako is actually confusing Mei and her twin sister, Misaki; this is made doubly so if you know something about Japanese culture: Takako remembers someone who looked just like Mei named Misaki, but who, of course, had both eyes. She assumes this means Mei came back incomplete and is therefore the Extra. However, in Japanese culture, you only use first names with very close friends or family (Izumi and Takako are described as being "joined at the hip" in the novel and first-name each other, and Izumi specifically asks Kouichi for permission to call him this way in the anime). Thus, Takako isn't being entirely truthful when she says she "knew" Mei years earlier: they were actually fairly close friends, and now she thinks her old best friend is undead and causing her friends and classmates to die, and the only way to make it stop is to kill her.

Granted, he did fall from the balcony in the previous episode... ...But Akazawa has no such excuse, when she tries to murder the unconscious Kazami because she feels he deserved it. And later she tries to kill Mei, while basically admitting that announcing her "the dead one" is an excuse she doesn't necessarily believe in. Kazami has just murdered two of her classmates and is about to kill a third on the off chance they might be the Extra, and Mei apparently very violently murdered her best friend. Most people would be homicidally furious at that point.

The third, the "Calamity", is far more dangerous and is a response to the first. Because of the imbalance in class 3-3, there being one more person than there are assigned seats, the Calamity will start trying to "balance the books" by killing the Extra.

Another / int_dbca2c99	comment	Red Herring: In Episode 8, Nakao dies in spectacular fashion outside of Yomiyama, leading the audience and characters to believe that the curse is not confined to Yomiyama. In Episode 9, however, it's revealed that this is probably not the case—he may have actually died from complications from a concussion that took place in town, which one could technically count as an in-Yomiyama death. The creepy shopkeeper whom Koichi met when he discovered the doll shop. On the first two occasions, she notably says the exact same thing to - and seemingly because of - him. This is never revealed to be anything significant. The shopkeeper largely only exists as part of the larger subplot of Mei being dead, even before the audience knows what that implies A hammer and sickle showed is displayed prominently in the OP in the hospital elevator but nothing it could reasonably be a symbol of ever develops into an actual plot point The hospital in general appears in a lot of establishing shots and gets a lot of charaterization as being creepy despite never having any real plot significance. Let's face it: how many people didn't think at least for a while Mei is the dead person? Even the ending theme of the anime heavily implies it, with her fading away while all the other kids fade in.

They went to the hotel Matsunaga worked at to ask him about the curse, the exact same hotel where Mei was staying at during her vacation.

Every warm moment where Mei and Kouichi are face to face, with the music playing in the background, you'd think they were about to kiss and they don't. There's a bit of Kouichi/Izumi teasing in Episode 7 as well. And again when she decides to ride in whichever car Kouichi is in to the beach in Episode 8. Kazami/Yukari is teased in Episode 12; Kazami is particularly enraged at Kouichi due to her death. Also Izumi/Teshigawara in the last chapter of the manga. Izumi/Teshigawara is sort of faked out ship teased in Episode 8 as well (Izumi originally told Teshi that he was to ride in her car, momentarily giving him the impression she wanted to be together for the ride to the beach, to which he seems rather surprised/happy). It's quickly revealed that she did this to free up a spot in the car Koichi was riding in, thus the fake out.

The result is gruesome; he kills his mother and then kills himself in front of his class. In the next to last episode, Takako mentions if Izumi had been killed by the homicidal psychopath Takako herself has just barely survived, she isn't sure she'd be able to go on, as all her friends would be dead.

Another / int_e0aed924	comment	No Antagonist: The curse is never directly personified, while various characters make bad decisions none of them are ever a real antagonist. Played with when the audience learns that killing the extra classmate will stop the curse, there's a character that is in some sense responsible for the string of deaths but even they don't know it, and never take action to harm anyone. When Reiko turns out to be the dead one we're left wondering if killing her was justified in the first place as she never did anything wrong.

There's plenty of blood shown quite explicitly but the images are noticeably darker than Kouichi's reaction shots and the wound is totally dark in wide shots. The same technique is used just after Kubodera stabs himself in the neck. And again when Nakao gets hit by a motorboat propeller (the next episode revealed he was dead already) and thrown into the air. It was apparently deemed graphic enough for Takako to be shown in close up twice with her eyes bulging out of her skull that the upper half of her head is censored whenever her body is shown.

Another / int_fc225bec	comment	Artistic License â€“ Physics: Real fire would burn much, much faster in addition to producing massive quantities of smoke. Also, yanking someone up by the throat the way Takako dies is much more likely to either rip their head completely off or break their neck. Death by hanging actually usually snaps your neck from the drop; you're only strangled to death if you have an incompetent or sadistic executioner. The Calamity apparently qualifies as both, though.

Another / int_fd1b902c	type	Non-Malicious Monster
Another / int_fd1b902c	comment	Non-Malicious Monster: The curse tries to get rid of the dead person in Class 3 just like the humans are trying to do. The problem is it's non-sentient and therefore has no qualms with indiscriminately killing the other children until it guesses right. How non-malcious the Calamity is can be debated, given how the deaths in the anime seem to directly cause each other. Yukari's death causes Tomohiko to snap and murder two of his classmates in cold blood, and it would have been three had Izumi not intervened. The deaths of Aya and her big brother depress Yumi to the point she's willing to recklessly attack another classmate she believes is the Extra, which ends up killing her. Ikuo's death causes his grandmother to lose her mind and attack several other people, including her husband. An encounter with her, combined with Junta's violent demise a few episodes earlier prompts Takako to play Matsunaga's tape for the rest of class, before incorrectly identifying Mei (who else?) as the Extra. Her fairly avoidable death (because nobody tried to explain this was wrong) causes Izumi to attack Mei herself, not because she believes her, but because she thinks Mei murdered her best friend. The maliciousness of the Calamity is also questionable based on the fact that for the past twenty-six years, it has tried to kill people from the beginning of the school year until graduation. That means that if it really is an attempt to get rid of the extra person in Class 3, it has done a really, really bad job. Instead, it seems like it could be a punishment against the class for merely existing as a place that welcomes the dead. The dead person is also one. They're never really antagonistic, it's just that their very presence causes other people to die, and they don't even realize they're responsible.
