Review 27: Another (Send the dead, back to death).
Yet again, another Japanese horror series, but will Another disappear as quickly as it appeared to us.
The brand new (slightly disturbing) Horror genre anime series. Even though this series has only just appeared, it has unexpectedly low ratings, views and votes.
I've noticed that people are put off straight away by the first episode as its apparently "weird" and "sketched out wrong" I disagree completely, this first episode is what creates the foundation for the rest of the series. If this episode was sketched out any differently from the way it is now than most of the episodes that follow wouldn't make sense and would have other pieces missing that are important.
So the story line comes across as confusing and irritating at times as characters don't reveal answers to the questions that have been on our minds, or we don't get to see the scenes that we thought we would, or some characters are remaining hidden for the time being and don't appear until another crisis is over.

So the story line is a little confusing and I don't understand some parts, but i'll do my best to explain it for you all. A young boy moves in with his grand parents due to his fathers new job once he transferred from Tokyo, his names Koichi. He's bedridden for the first two episodes as his lung collapsed.
So as he can't attend school for the first two days the class Representatives from class 3 show up and wish him well, the only difference is is that these three representatives act suspicious and think Kouchi is not human and actually dead. The don't tell him about the curse within the class and who is involved in the curse and the counter measurements within the curse. So when he turns up to school and their treating another young girl names Miaski Mei as if she doesn't even exists, things turn for the worst. 

Koichi: Even though at the beginning he is bedridden, he appears as a young healthy character throughout this horror series. The collapsed lung runs in the family from the fathers side so it isn't that dangerous in the end, this makes him feel relieved and gives him the energy and happiness to move around and walk. in the early episodes of the series we see him in an elevator(obviously going back to his room), when he turns round and sees a mysterious girl with an eye patch over her right eye. He doesn't know what to say or do as shes going to the morgue. He gets closer to misaki as the series goes on, also be-friending a lot of other people who aren't comfortable with it. Throughout this series hes seen as the center of attention and the cause of the curse returning to class 3.

Misaki; only a young girl, shes neglected by everyone in her class including the teacher and assistant teacher. The eye patch only serves one purpose to Misaki, that is to hide her eye. When she was younger the eye had to be removed due to a tuma inside, when the doctors decided to give her an artificial eye her mother refused, the only reason she did this as she is a doll maker, so her decision was to replace the eye with a green dolls eye, (Misakis eyes are actually red by the way). The class treat her like shes non-exsistant due to the curse, their theory is that shes the dead person in the class who will start the curse and therefore should be out casted by everyone else. Her families background is a bit hard to explain and is slightly confusing, but if we pay attention you'll soon realize that the curse did not start when everyone else thought it did, it started much much sooner than expected.

The curse itself is hard to explain. 26 years ago a young boy in class three passed away, and suddenly everyone started to say he was still there and still existed. On the graduation photo the young boy actually appeared on there. Ever since than the curse starts in either May or April, one person dies each , month in a terrible accident it can either be someone in the class (students, teachers), or someone you live with (mum, dad, sister, brother). Almost anyone in your family can be effected and the curse has only ever been stopped once in the past 26 years. The way to stop it is too send the dead back to death......The series itself is yet again amazing, really cool graphics, a story line that actually makes sense and strange but inventive deaths that are a little bit graphic for some viewers including my sisters. An amazing watch, you'll fall in love with characters and feel sorry for them when eventually their time comes to an end.
