I just finished the show for the first time and I’m a bit confused

I’m still a bit confused on why there was a giant massacre at the end. I’m also confused about the old couple as well, it mentioned they were the one dudes grandparents, but still. I also saw that there’s a light novel? How different is that to the show. I don’t have enough time to read. Is the ending different? Thank you in advance

The curse is aware

Now I have only seen the anime, so I'm more than accepting other versions of the story are different.

Despite what the teacher says. This curse must be on some level aware, and capable of acting on it's awareness.

Throught the anime we watch as every safety net of these children are either dismantled or made to seem usless.

Attempts to uncover secrets seem to lead to people being killed just as they are about to reveal something.

And let's not even forget what happend when the students found out about the "Send the Dead back to Death"

I'm not sure why the curse was this aggressive compared to even some of what we know of other surviving classes. Maybe the next class will have it easy. But for this class the curse is very much doing all it can to protect itself and kill the maximum number of people.

A way of ending the calamity

Can't Mei work at the school and identify the extra at the beginning of every year so they can get rid of it early and stop the calamity before it happens?

Considering Another 2001 has been serialized since 2014 (a year after Episode S), could it be that the next entry of the Another series is already being serialized as we speak?

Why though

Does anyone know why Izumi had to die? Like Im aware of the fact her brother was in class 3 as well and he died, but did that play a factor into her death as well? Or was it just the creator wanting to kill her off?

Was darker than expected

You know. I was expecting something dark but not that dark you know?

Izumi dying though threw me a curveball because she was subtly flirting with Koichi, or at least trying to get closer to him. I know people thought the romance was Mei, which sure it couldve also been it…but jesus Izumi’s death was one that actually almost made me choke up on because of the fact that, I didn’t expect it

The middle schools name

Does anyone know why the name of the previous middle school Koichi attended is redacted? I can't remember if it's mentioned in the anime but I'm currently reading the light novel and it says "K*** Middle School"

Are the novels worth reading?

I am not that much into reading so I never gave them a try but they seem intresting, are they worth it? If yes do I need to read the first one to understand the other two or is the anime enough?

Episode 1-3 Discussion please??

(( IN CASE YOU DIDNT SEE THE TAG, SPOILERS!!))

Hi, first post here, I’ve never read or watched any horror anime before. I just finished Ep 3. Idk if you can curse, but HOLYY F*CK!!! WHATTTTTT?!!?! THIS IS CRAZY?? and I just KNOW it’ll only get crazier??! the umbrella?? The noise? I thought it would poke out her eye or something?! But no? Oh my god she just ?? She just dead asl ?? And her mama too?? Like what?!! And then it just cuts to the next episode?? I’m so serious immediately paused and whipped out Reddit because what?? The??? Freak frack????? That was genuinely so shocking? And Misaki was telling him the story again but it was different than the first episode but it sounded like Misaki speaking there too? Is that just for plot or like? I’m so shook and confused right now ? Like word? Bro went there? And the doll store?? I have questions and please answer with simple yes/no/you’ll find out/not important?

  1. Does Misaki make the dolls as well? Cos I saw her sketch and she said she was adding wings, and then a doll had wings but no arms?
  2. Did Misaki lose her eye in “the accident” or was it always a prosthetic?
  3. Is the girl who died in the hospital just a weird coincidence since they said her name was the “same” but written differently?
  4. Is his lung and his father’s lung collapse related to Misaki?

Again please just answer with simple, short things I want an idea of what’s going on, not to know any spoilers!

EDIT: I’ve finished the show and am wildly unhappy with this. Why wouldn’t she say sum from that start? Misaki is a dummy dumb dumb and the second she heard that tape she should’ve hunted yk who down. What the freak.

Does 2001 explain how the curse changes memories?

I can't read 2001 (the sequel novel) as it's not available in my country afaik. But I read the extra who comes back from the dead in this one is Izumi, who is the new protagonist's cousin. I that read the novel goes more in detail about the memory manipulation, but how so?

Basically what I never understood is even if everyone forgets about the extra's death, if they remember their previous life starting from their birth (including whether they were born before or after X other person for example) they should notice their age doesn't match up.

Besides how do they explain having no memories of the extra for the few years between their death and them coming back? Does everyone get fake memories?

I'm curious to know whether the sequel answers this, I don't mind spoilers btw.

The last 2 episodes from the police point of view.

(Yeah, yeah. I know it's sounds dumb, but still)

Just imagine,YCPD arrived Sakitani Kinenkan and after the firemen's work they began their investigations. What do you think the report was?

What did stop the calamity 15 years ago?

I finished Another a few years ago and tonight I decided to rewatch it and realized how much of it that I had forgotten, making it almost like a show I haven't seen. Which is great, because the anime makes you not want to skip a single scene and keeps you wanting more. Anyways, I'm on episode 7 now, 10 minutes into it. The only thing that's not explained until now is the reason why the calamity stopped 15 years ago. It was mentioned that the class went to a trip (a shrine), but I'm not certain what exactly made the calamity stop. If it's a crucial spoiler about the end of the story, please put a spoiler warning.

What do you think about remake?

Many are hoping for a second season, but what if the creators suddenly release a remake?

Honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing this anime with better graphics, more gruesome deaths, a plot without holes, well-developed characters, as main as secondary.

And most importantly, without absurd and illogical moments like: "Damn! I fell off the windowsill! I'll lie in the bridge pose." "I'll go check the kitchen and I don't care that I was warned about the fire." "Don't ask me why I'm killing my classmates if I think the Extra is you." "Man, everything is on fire. Let me call my friend." Or "I knew who the Extra was but I didn't want to hurt you, and even though the curse took away most of our class."

Another 2001 light novel

Just finished the Another 2001 light novel and loved it! I like how it built suspense/tension, had me on the edge of my seat. Finished it rather quickly because of how much I enjoyed it. Those of you who have read it, what did you think?

questions about reiko

So since reiko is the one that is the extra. What was it about the desk in the faculty office? I dont understand was it missing one or one too many?

And could the curse be avoided if they added or remove a desk or something or pretend a teacher doesnt exist?
