The best reason to watch Another…

that dance scene from Another #5

…is the dance scene from episode five. It makes sense in context. Another was a bit of a disappointment as a horror story, as so much of it just wasn’t scary despite trying very hard to be. The first three-four episodes were the best, as the protagonist slowly got to learn the details of what was goin on, but once he knew too much of the tension was gone. Too many of the deaths happened because the plot demanded it and the characters acted dumb, so it went all a bit narmy. Still fun enough to watch all the way through though, if only for the relationship between the two above.

    Off topic, but you might find Maoyū Maō Yūsha worth watching. I’ve watched the first episode and it looks like it might play with some interesting ideas. (Eg. purpose of war, different goals between rulers and common people.)

    Yes, I’ve watched that one last year. Great concept, decent execution. You may also like Hataraku Maou Sama/The Devil is a Part-Timer, which is about the defeated evil lord of a fantasy world fleeing to Earth and working in a fast food joint…
