Well, on the bright side… impalement by an umbrella seems less ridiculous now?
Let’s play a game: in the comments, write the script for another episode of Another, Mad Libs style! Don’t feel too restricted by where the blanks are.

Class 9-3 is exaggeratedly mourning the death of the nurse, who fell while in an elevator and died. The class is suspiciously gossiping behind Kouichi’s back. A nekomimi-donning doll flashes across the screen.
Kouichi learns that 26 years ago, the students in class 9-3 were jumpy because some lolicon tried to rape a girl in the said class. A 1:8 scale Max Factory-made doll appears.
Kouichi discovers that one of his classmates has an irrational fear of teddy bears. The class is desperately hiding teddy bears from him by keeping them in a gigantic safe. A doll with fur appears.
Kouichi excitedly tells Mei and the doll that looks like her. Since Mei is a bit screw loose, she disappears while saying some completely nonsensical messages. A doll eats her.
The class continues to blame Kouichi. Kouichi is on the verge of massacring the whole class. Kouichi accidentally trips on an ice cube and dies.
Haha, nice!
I actually wouldn’t be surprised if this happened… Same with Kouichi on the verge of massacring the class, that would be fun. 🙂 And death by ice cube… the most reasonable death Another has seen so far!
This is *someone’s* result. They had never played mad libs before, so it’s a bit boring, as all of their adjectives are superlatives (not purposefully). ^ ^
Class 9-3 is incredibly mourning the death of Donut, who jumped on a teddybear and died. The class is slowly passing behind Kouichi’s back. An amazing doll flashes across the screen.
Kouichi learns that 26 years ago, the students in class 9-3 were surprised because cat licked hamster. A super doll appears.
Kouichi discovers that one of his classmates has an irrational fear of movies. The class is pleasantly hiding bushes from him by cutting. A doll without a tree appears.
Kouichi dangerously drives Mei and the doll that looks like her. Since Mei is dumbfounded, she disappears coyly. A doll gazes.
The class continues to stare at Kouichi. Kouichi is on the verge of walking an apple. Watermelon surprisingly averts by a rock and dies.
I wonder who it could possibly be?!!
I like how *someone* can create so much sexual innuendo even unintentionally. 🙂
Hey Draggle! Have you ever seen the final destination movie series? This series is sooo Final Destination: THE ANIMATION! Anything that is seen as a possible killing machine can and will be used…When Kouichi walked in to find his aunt I was waiting for the birdcage to fall on her and “kill” her.
By the time the series ends Kouichi will have no one left to talk too…I think the static on the cell phone = death flag for X character he is talking to, but umbrella girl didn’t have any phone static…hmmm oh well it can work xD
Moe nurse! NOOOOO!! I LIKED HER! YOU BASTARDS…her death was like HOLY CRAP!? But I laughed anyway…yea…Another makes me laugh more than it creeps me out.
I actually haven’t seen it, but E Minor mentioned this too in the post I sent you on twitter.
I laughed too. 🙂 But yeah, she was pretty much the only person I liked aside from the class enforcer. It seems like this show is going to take the path of introducing new characters just so it can kill them off.
Here’s my entry:
“Class 9-3 is seductively mourning the death of testicles, who gallivanted with a throw pillow and died. The class is hilariously fornicating behind Kouichi’s back. A svelte doll flashes across the screen.
Kouichi learns that 26 years ago, the students in class 9-3 were clownish because clowns clowned buffalo. A wild doll appears.
Kouichi discovers that one of his classmates has an irrational fear of wood burning stoves. The class is wrongly hiding balls from him by tweeting. A doll without aspirations appears.
Kouichi lustily chases Mei and the doll that looks like her. Since Mei is platitudinous, she disappears sexily. A doll licks itself.
The class continues to flagellate Kouichi. Kouichi is on the verge of discovering balls. Bowls believably frolic on a troubadour and die.”
Just be thankful I didn’t enter balls for everything.
LOLOLOLOL
Balls are only a noun though, that wouldn’t work for everything! You would have to go with “fuck”, the amazing word that can serve as all four parts of speech.
I didn’t find this episode that bad.
Admittedly, all those improbable deaths drag down the show. Apart from that I found the atmosphere still excellent. I particularly liked this shot in the doll museum: http://bit.ly/wJRYwZ . Both the museum’s entrance lady and Misaki Mei might be living dolls for their mechanical way of speaking. I also liked the way Koichi’s aunt lost focus while speaking and ended up blaming the bird (for a reason?).
Besides, there were many great shots of Izumi. I don’t like her school uniform top, though. The front (the buttons and the way it is closed) reminds me of a traditional military officer’s coat and imo gives the whole thing too masculine a touch. But then again, Izumi does seem to be a rather tough one.
I noticed her blaming the bird as well. The way they put so much attention on it saying the name “Rei”, I wonder if that isn’t just shorthand for Reiko but referring to someone else? To learn her name someone else would have had to been in the house to say hello to Rei. Although this could have just been their parents or something? But perhaps a relative died.
Izumi is always nice. 🙂 You and I seem to have very similar tastes in anime fashion.
Class 9-3 is quickly mourning the death of giraffe, who plummets by/on/with a(n) lampshade and died. The class is quietly pole dancing behind Kouichi’s back. A(n) pink doll flashes across the screen.
Kouichi learns that 26 years ago, the students in class 9-3 were euphoric because jellyfish smothered cityscape. A(n) blasphemous doll appears.
Kouichi discovers that one of his classmates has an irrational fear of novellas. The class is irresonsibly hiding pistols from him by groping. A doll without contracts appears.
Kouichi sharply tickles Mei and the doll that looks like her. Since Mei is fuzzy, she disappears happily. A doll strips.subtly
The class continues to fornicate Kouichi. Kouichi is on the verge of caressing cowboy hats. Panties surreptitiously lick by/on/with a(n) lemon wedge and dies.
Hahaha this steadily progressed from complete randomness to acts of fornication!
Somehow I found this line in particular hilarious.
Class 9-3 is stupidly mourning the death of Hare, who was stabbed by a dildo and died. The class is ridiculously raping behind Kouichi’s back. A(n) Gundam doll flashes across the screen.
Kouichi learns that 26 years ago, the students in class 9-3 were _fucked because Shoe screwed Soda. A(n) Pretty Cure doll appears.
Kouichi discovers that one of his classmates has an irrational fear of lolis. The class is vainly hiding lolis from him by anti-pedo-laws. A doll without tits appears.
Kouichi almost fucked Mei and the doll that looks like her. Since Mei is disgusted, she disappears into thin air. A doll shits.
The class continues to rape Kouichi. Kouichi is on the verge of breaking a condom. Hitler disgustingly chokes on Shoe’s dick and dies.
Haha most of the entries seem to have a theme, which includes rape. 🙂
I like the “Gundam doll”, nice!
And what a twist at the ending! Shoe does something good for once!
