Anime Review - Another

I'm back and now, it's to review an anime!!!

I'm currently watching an anime entitled "Another" and i'm not gonna crack my already-tired-brain for making my own version of synopsis. So thanks to Wikipedia, here is the anime's synopsis.

Another (アナザー Anazā^?) is a Japanese fictional mystery horror novel by Yukito Ayatsuji, published on October 29, 2009 by Kadokawa Shoten.

In 1972, a very popular honor student named Misaki died partway through the school year in Yomiyama Middle School’s class 3-3. The rest of the students, devastated by the unexpected loss, decided to carry on as if their classmate were still alive, going so far as to keep the desk in place and bringing it to the graduation ceremony. Yet no one could explain why the dead and buried classmate was present on the graduation photo.

In spring 1998, 15-year-old student Kōichi Sakakibara arrives from Tokyo in Yomiyama, to stay with his grandparents while his father works in India. He transfers into Class 3-3 but misses the first few weeks as a pneumothorax keeps him hospitalised. While in the hospital, he receives a visit from his classmates and meets a mysterious girl wearing his school’s uniform called Mei Misaki, who seems to be visiting the morgue.

Once recovered, Kōichi goes to school and tries to adapt. His aunt, a teacher at Yomiyama North, gives him a few pointers but, like his peers, remains evasive when it comes to their behavior towards Mei, who is treated by all as if she did not exist. Kōichi is further confounded by the air of mystery around class 3-3 and the fact that it is isolated from other classes, even practicing P.E. separately.

Things go from bad to worse when a classmate, Yukari Sakuragi, slips while running down the stairs and dies, impaled on the sharp end of her umbrella.This is one of many deaths related to Class 3-3 which have Kōichi and his friends Mei, Naoya Teshigawara, Tomohiko Kazami, and Yūya Mochizuki, trying to unravel the mystery of 1972’s Misaki and the "calamity" that has struck Class 3-3 ever since.

*****

My personal review is this anime ROCKS! It have the normal Japanese horror elements such as mysterious girl, high school and curses. The calamity (I learnt this word through this anime. What ya know anime really taught me new words in English ) is really unique and never fails to intrigues you~ Since it's an ongoing anime, I would love to advise whoever interested to watch this anime to WAIT UNTIL IT FINISH AIRING~ Simply because you may feel it's way tooooooooooooooooo long to wait a week for an episode to be uploaded on the site. MONDAY, Y U SO FAR AWAY??
