[[File:another_3118.jpg|frame]]
'''''Another''''' is a horror/mystery novel by Yukito Ayatsuji, adapted into manga and an anime for the [[Winter 2012 Anime|Winter 2012 anime season]].
Line 37:
** The anime has a similar ending, {{spoiler|except worse since Akazawa and Kazami both die at the mansion.}} The ending of the original novel is on par with this, as {{spoiler|Akazawa breaks her neck when she falls from a veranda.}}
* [[Blood-Splattered Innocents]]: {{spoiler|Kubodera}} stabbing himself in the neck leads to this.
* [[Body Horror]]: Some of the [[Creepy Doll|Creepy Dolls]]
* [[Bottle Fairy]]: Reiko.
* [[Breather Episode]]: Invoked example with the anime's episode 8, which is also a [[Beach Episode]]. {{spoiler|This comes right after Kouichi himself gets [[Unperson|Unpersoned]]
* [[Broken Masquerade]]: {{spoiler|After it turns out that their [[Unperson|Unpersoning]]
* [[By the Eyes of the Blind]]: Initially implied that only Kouichi and those near death can see Mei. {{spoiler|Then later subverted when it turns out to be an example of [[Unperson]]}}.
* [[Can You Hear Me Now?]]: One of the first signs that the curse is manifesting is when nearby phone signals start breaking up. Given that the curse is apparently sentient, these outbursts of static tend to be perfectly timed to hide important information from listeners.
Line 89:
* [[Hope Spot]]: One student manages to survive episode 12's [[Falling Chandelier of Doom]] only to be crushed by a pillar as he tries to run.
* [[Hot Teacher]]: Ms. Mikami.
* [[Idiosyncratic Wipes]]: [[Creepy Doll|Creepy Dolls]]
* [[Idiot Ball]]: Many of the characters at some point. The group who get an idea of warning the class {{spoiler|that there's a fire ''and'' a psychotic murderer in the building}} by politely visiting every room and telling them instead of using an (existent) radio system in Episode 11 deserves a special mention.
* [[Ill Boy]]: Kouichi is introduced as this, his left lung having been punctured on the day of his fifteenth birthday. Takabayashi is also one, explained as some sort of heart condition.
Line 193:
* [[Wham! Episode]]
** Subverted at first in episode 3 when Mei removes her eyepatch {{spoiler|to reveal she has a doll's eye}} (note that episode 2 before it played this as a huge [[Cliff Hanger]]). Then played straight at the end of the episode when {{spoiler|Sakuragi}} is impaled by an umbrella.
** Again in episode 6. {{spoiler|Kouichi is strongly implied to be the dead student, the librarian reveals that [[Unperson|Unpersoning]]
** In a grand subversion of the [[Breather Episode]], episode 8 demonstrates that {{spoiler|leaving Yomiyama will not protect the students of class 3-3. Or at least it won't if someone has already been injured in the town and then leaves.}}.
** In episode 10, we discover that the only known way to stop the curse is to {{spoiler|kill the extra student}}. Also, Mei {{spoiler|has the ability to identify said student}}.
