Tatsujin, not having a fourth floor is standard in all Japanese hospitals (and sometimes other buildings too if the builders were particularly superstitious). It's because the word for four (shi) is pronounced very similarly to the word for death (shin). Sometimes they don't have a ninth floor either, because nine (ku) is the first syllable of suffering (kurushii).

Oh right I forgot about this. Plus, they avoid the rooms with number 4. And also in Naruto when kyuubi got the 4-tailed mode it was considered to be the most dangerous. Same reason again.

Yep. It's why they have alternate pronunciations for 4 (shi is also yon) and 7 (shichi is also nana) too.
Tatsujin:
fucking love episode 11, so much gore and blood ... insanity activated!
on ep. 12.

It's a good show. I just didn't like how they made the ending. Let's see what will your opinion be.

I agree completely really wish there could be more to this but I doubt that would happen since it was only 1 novel. (unless of course the novels story was longer some how LOL) Ive not found much else with such a strong atmosphere.

Pretty good show and ya like what you said, I was expecting a creepy ending but turned out to be a normal story. Well, just the very last episode at least. The OVA was really good. Damn P.A. Works did a fantastic job once again. There were so much natural detail in the characters, besides the amazing theatrical graphics they have.
Well ... I'm looking forward to Tari Tari and their new under-development work. Oh yea, Another 2 novel or the manga is in product, no announcement for the anime thou'. Here's the thing, it's really hard to pick up where Another left off ... if so, they'd have to do it around our era, not a decade ago or the second choice is to make a whole new story based on a whole new events.
I downloaded Another's artbook, I have both mangas. I wish I had the energy and motivation to read manga in general ...
I gotta go to sleep now.
