Another Episode 2-3

stalking is bad. don't do it.


The plot quickens pace as Sakakibara begins to put the pieces together. Why does everyone act like they can't see Misaki? Why will no one tell him what's going on? What really happened in Class 3 26 years ago?


Oh, the cute nurse Mizuno. Something tells me I am going to regret
having favorite characters in this show...
As with the first episode, these two continue with the high quality of art, fantastic soundtrack and great composition. Though the basic plot is rather cliche (are these rumors about "the girl who died and haunts the school" really that rampant in Japan?), Another does a great job of slowly building the plot.


any way you look at it...that's creepy. 
Honestly, my only gripes with the show are merely genre taste issues and have nothing to do with the quality of the show. I don't really like horror (especially ones that do the whole "and then there were none" type plot progression - it's too similar to survival game stories, which i hate) and that colors my enjoyment. But i love good stories and well told ones above the rest.



Rating: A-

And the body count begins.
