Finished my rewatch of the anime "Another" with my friend who hadn't seen it, and while watching I made a little chart categorizing the order in which each person dies, if someone murdered someone else, if they are related to a class member, a doodle indicating how they died, and deaths from previous years that were related to the class! Obviously spoilers if you haven't seen the show but in either case it was fun to make :3

ANOTHER 2001 by Yukito Ayatsuji

I was waiting for this for so long. If I remember correctly the english version was supposed to come out on March 2022 but got delayed until December 2022. Another is one of my most favorite light novels of all time — no kidding. I love the plot, the characters, the author's writing style, and the way he narrates the story. It was comprehensive enough for someone dumb like me.

Another 2001 is a sequel for the Another Volume 1, 2, and the side story Another SO. If you want to read 2001, I highly recommend reading the the prequels and the side story since they are all connected in one way or another.

Another 2001 revolves around Sou Hiratsuka who has been placed to Class 3-3 that have an infamous curse tied with the class. With the help of Misaki Mei, together they must find out who's the casualty among the students to stop the horrible calamity that will strike them.

I really enjoyed reading the story! Although there are parts that are similar with the prequels. The twist at the end is quite predictable however it still gave me some goosebumps, 9/10.

On the author's note at the end, he said there is a new sequel in the planning/making and sadly it will be the last.

I hope you guys would give this a read! I promise it will be worth your time 😉💗

Another Anime Review

There’s some series that, over the years, you hear about from other people in the anime fandom at large. Usually its just about the overall series, and people will tell you to not look it up, just to start it. You just kinda have to take their word for it. Then there’s others, where its the events of the series are what people talk about. Some pieces of media have a moment so iconic, that they’ll tell you about it first, then what the series is about afterwards. Scenes like those are often cut up and put into YouTube compilations, titled things like ‘Top 10 WTF Moments in Anime, Part 3′. Those clips often stick in the mind for years, waiting for their chance to be rediscovered and understood in full context. This just so happens to be the case with this month’s Anime Exchange assignment, a 12 episode series simply titled Another. 

Another, based on the manga by Yukito Ayatsuji, is a supernatural mystery series that follows Kouichi Sakakibara, a teenage boy who is a transfer student at a small town high-school. Upon arrival, he discovers a mysterious girl with an eyepatch who nobody acknowledges, and learns about the mysterious ‘Calamity’ that seems to befall the third 9th grade class every year. One by one, students and their families die mysteriously, and its up to Sakakibara and the mysterious girl to figure out why. 

Series like these are usually out of my usual range, but I found that I was pleasantly surprised with what was offered. I was immediately grabbed by the sense of mystery and dread steeped into every frame of this series. The visuals are muted, with even bright sunny days lacking their typical shine and luster. This, combined with the resting gloomy faces that every character had, really set the tone for the entire series from the get-go. Wherever scenes took place, the series maintained this depressing atmosphere, something which is quite impressive given that it attempts the time-honored anime tradition of a beach day episode in the second half of the series. 

However, what made itself apparent just as quickly as it’s tone was this series’ love for lore-dumping. In the very first episode, we see Sakakibara recovering from a collapsed lung in the hospital, where he meets three students from the high-school that he is transferring to. Their full names and titles are thrown at the viewer so fast, it’s quite difficult to process. This is something that, unfortunately, happens quite a lot in this series, as it needs audiences to be familiarized with the entire class before it can start killing them off. I found myself remembering characters by a key characteristic of them, not their names or titles (’Glasses Girl’, ‘Pigtails’, ‘Carsick’, etc), which lead to confusion whenever they were brought up in an important conversation.

This problem is only compounded when the series starts playing with names to keep up the mystery. In the earlier episodes, Sakakibara discovers that years ago, a student named Misaki died in the third 9th grade class, an event which started what is known as the ‘Calamity’. What makes things complicated is that there is revealed to be two other Misaki’s in the series: one who died in the hospital on the night that Sakakibara was discharged, and the other who is the mysterious eyepatch girl. Everyone in the series refers to all three of these characters as ‘Misaki’, so good luck figuring out which one they’re referring to, unless you were really paying attention, or have already seen it. 

The main Misaki herself (or as I call her, Eyepatch Misaki) is really not much of a character at all, which is quite disappointing. Her role in the story as a whole makes sense, being the creepy goth girl who everyone is fine pretending doesn’t exist to try and stop the Calamity. However, beyond that, she really doesn’t do much. For someone who gets nearly as much screen time as the main character, and could be considered a deuteragonist, Eyepatch Misaki does little to progress the plot. Most scenes she is in, she simply gives vague hints about the mystery, follows Sakakibara from place to place, and hardly shows any emotions. She could be replaced with a stuffed animal and she’d still have about the same level of agency or importance. 

What makes this all the more disappointing is that the series has enough time to develop many other characters in it’s 12 episodes, yet excludes Eyepatch Misaki from this in order to keep up her air of mystery. Characters like Akazawa, the Head of Countermeasures, are given full and satisfying arcs, yet Eyepatch Misaki remains as she was in the very first episode until the end. In a series whose main cast is a classroom of students, screen time and character development is precious. Every character is fighting to be the one that audiences latch onto, to be the the one who people remember the most, or whose death hits them the hardest. What baffles me is that the most important one (aside from Sakakibara), the one who is on every poster or cover of this series, is little beyond a macguffin or, to borrow a phrase, an eyepatch-wearing lamp. 

What saves this series from being just another creepy high-school mystery series is its brutality. I wouldn’t consider myself a gore aficionado, but when I learned that this is the series that the infamous ‘Umbrella Girl’ clip came from, I was immediately excited. That one clip is just a taste of the bizarre and sometimes downright cruel deaths in this series, as one by one, the students of the third Grade 9 class succumb to The Calamity. The deaths in this series are also pretty creative, and prey on common fears that anyone might have in the back of their mind. Combine the fear of falling down the stairs with the old ‘Don’t run with sharp things!’ adage, and you get something so perfect and brutal that you won’t be forgetting anytime soon.

The best thing that I could compare this series to would be the Final Destination films. The comparisons to Final Destination are pretty easy to see; a group of teenagers do something to anger Death itself, and are picked off one by one in highly improbable ways to atone for that. However, I would say that this series is less stomach-churning than those films, as the characters’ bodies still stay mostly intact even after death. This might have been a budgeting decision from the studio, but if it allows me to eat my homemade guacamole while watching, I’ll say that’s a plus.

Another is a series that really made the most of it’s short episode run, albeit by rushing here and there. The visuals are good (though I wish they’d stop putting the highlights of hair in the shadows...), and the story is pretty engaging, such that I found myself trying to work out the mystery on my own between watching sessions. However, the series also has a penchant for dumping lore on the viewer, bombarding them with names and dates that it refuses to help the viewer process. This is a series best watched with a pen and notepad in hand, so you can write down all the information characters drop before its too late. 

As well, I wish this series had spent some more time developing and fleshing out it’s second main character, Eyepatch Misaki. She really had the potential to be cool, especially with the mystery behind her second eye and the doll shop, but she was often pushed aside in favor of side characters. Perhaps she is more developed in the manga, but who knows when or if I’ll get to that. 

7/10

My top 6 of favorite anime horror

Recently I've been thinking that we have been full of anime about isekai, heroes or shōnen, which doesn´t mean that is bad, but it makes me miss other genres like one of my favorites, horror, supernatural and psicologic. That's why i made a top list of my favorites horror animes that might not be so popular

Another: It tells the story of a school in which a young girl called Misaki, a student in the third class of Middle School passed away in the 70s. Affected with grief, the classmates decide to pretend this never happened and carry on until the end of the school year as if none of them died at all. 

But after 26 years in the present, Kouichi Sakakibara transfers in the same class where the above tragedy took place, soon after he transfers into  class 3-3, he finds strange things about the school, and only get creepier when he meets a classmate called Misaki Mei (the same name of the victim), who is ignored by teachers and students alike as if she doesn't exist. Also, a curse begins mysteriously and violently claiming lives ( just like final destination), leaving everyone else trying to figure out a way to stop it before it's too late (again, just like final destination).

Another is full of unpredictable twists and turns, with a scare level that's reminiscent of such iconic horror movies, and at the same time trapped you  wanted to know how it is gonna end.

Corpse Party: Tortured Souls: Based on a survival horror game by the same name, Corpse Party: Tortured Souls follows a group of 8 students and her teacher who get together to perform a special friendship ritual so that they'll be friends forever as one of them will transfer to another school. What they manage to do instead, however, is transport themselves to an entirely different dimension in the Heavenly Host Academy, place where a teacher died by an a terrible accident falling for the stairs and a group of children disappeared, but now is a place where the ghosts of the former Heavenly Host Academy prey to gruesomely kill them off.

What follows is a gory and sickening 4-episode murder-spree, seeking for revenge. With all the classic scare elements of any good horror show, Corpse Party: Tortured Souls is one of the most short an good horror animes.

Hell Girl: Hell Girl is based on the urban legend of the Hell Correspondence website, which can supposedly be accessed only at a specific time at night, and if you ask Hell Girl could take your enemies to hell. The show starts with self-contained episodes about different people who are so sick of being tormented by their bullies, that they access the creepy website to get rid of their enemies. When that happens, Enma Ai, (the Hell Girl), appears to take the target to hell, but those who request her, will have to pay with the same final as well.

This anime is one of the few that describe the psychological conditions so good, that will make you feel angry and desperate along with the characters. 

Shiki: In the quiet, peaceful village of Sotoba, nothing ever happens, until a mysterious family moves to this town. The history in Shiki starts as an epidemic that kicks off following the death of a young girl and threatens to turn the entire village into a living dead hell. The vampires, or Shiki, (as they call themselves), still desire to live, but this puts them in direct opposition with the villagers who don't want their home to turn into a vampire ghost town.

The anime brings the rules of the old tales of vampires, here they have true disavanged , such as being unable to enter houses unless invited or walk out in the sun. Shiki tells a spine-chilling vampire story unlike any other, has unsettling imagery, gore, and troubling moral dilemmas that make you question who's the real antagonist and who's the protagonist here.

Higurashi No Naku koro Ni: Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni is the horror anime by excellence, here, we see the different paths the main character can take explored in different arcs. The story revolves around a small town that may or may not have a dark demonic past. When Keiichi moves to Hinamizawa, life seems good, making new friends, including Rena, Mion, Rika, and Satoko, but it's not long before their beautiful summer turns into a nightmare.

As the annual festival approaches, Keiichi learns about several murders and disappearances that took place recently, and his friends are very enigmatic about these incidents and soon, Keiichi realizes that no one is safe, and no one can be trusted.

There's something creepy about small villages, they create a suffocating feeling of "you never gonna get out alive of here" similar to games of survival, and in this anime it's expressed so well that it will play with your expectations, painting the picture of an a beautiful town and then twisting it in horrible ways. Exist some scenes will stay with you for a long time (maybe forever), but the truth is different from anything you could possibly suspect, which makes watching Higurashi so worthwhile.

Junji Ito Collection: As his name says Junji Ito Collection, is a collection about the work of the master of horror, Junji Ito. The worlds he creates are truly unsettling and his style is very unique and recognizable, (you can't easily forget the girl with the slug growing inside her mouth, or the boy who liked to drink oil). Sadly, the anime has received mixed reviews, with some thinking that it didn't do justice to the works of Junji Ito (might be true), but it is still an anime that you must watch.
