Another [Series]

Apparently the people on Sankaku think this was a great show.... because of the finale?

I don't understand, to be honest. The rest of this show was decent at best, and then the finale was just stupid. I think the highlight of it for me was, "Hey, let me stop in the middle of a hallway in a burning building to dial someone."

Havoc10K:
Well, considering how badly it was directed, all the potential was wasted, the only good episode was the first one. After that it all went to shits. Seeing gruesome deaths should have been horrifying but it was so hilariously broken that it wasn't very funny.

If they made it into a horror comedy, it could have redeemed itself, but the direction sucked even with the indication that it could be funny.

Best suspense was in the first episode, and the best comedy was the daydream he had about Mei and him dancing in the middle of the class. Everything else was worse than HorribleSubs trolling, and THAT is an achievement in itself.

I winder if it's based on a manga or a LN, if the former i'll check how badly raped was the plot, and if the latter, I highly doubt a story made this badly was done into an anime unless they went original. Which they probably did.

If this is an original story, I wonder what the script is like, cuz I am fairly sure this is a fine example of someone's work being trampled just like Kirino's novel was about to be in the LN (Ore Imouto Light Novel).


Generally speaking, this could have been great, if they took it seriously.

It turned into Blood-C, or something. Essentially, turned into a crappy horror anime. I mean, after the chandelier fell and one guy ran out, was it really necessary for him to be crushed by a pillar? I understand that the curse makes death "gravitate" towards the class, but...

Also, while I suspected Mikami-sensei a little, I was slightly disappointed in the way it ended. They could have given us the information that Reiko and Mikami-sensei were the same person much earlier, and I don't think it would have detracted from the show or the suspense, and it would have given people that "AHA" moment they seem to seek.

All in all, it was probably the best horror/mystery anime I've seen in a while, so I'll give it an 8/10 or so, but....still. SMH at the ending.

Exactly this is what I thought of it. Episode 11's pacing was abysmal, and completely took me out of it. "Building on fire? Walk casually. Person with knife? Shoulder bump them out of the way." Ep 12 was a little bit better, but still had bad pacing. Ending was good though, still would recommend the series to alot of people.

Haumea:
If you felt the ending was a bit lacking, I suggest you read the manga. I felt the ending of the show was morbid for the sake of being morbid. It tried to shock the viewer too much, and the experience was dumbed down from that of the manga. The manga had a slightly happier ending, which though a bit tacky feeling, had a lot more depth. But, hey, for a single season show, Another really captivated me more then anything else this season.

Tatsujin:
Another gets a Live Action film. Good news.
