Someone will die in the sea !! leg cramp while swimming, nobody notices until too late, death by drowning. also, + Show Spoiler [Another 5] + today's death was pretty stupid. as soon as that kid said he didn't like the rules, immediate death flag appeared. 5 seconds later, bam. dead. he was so stupid. Another + Show Spoiler + Actually the kid might not be as stupid as you though. He might not even know the purpose of these rules in the first place. He might just of been kinda forced to follow along and never really asked the question on how these things work. Also, he probably didnt believe in it as well. It make sense that they wouldnt want to tell other people these information to spread this around.
Anyways, I love where this is going. It what a horror/mystery/tragic genre suppose to go and they are executing it pretty well. Dont understand the hate about this series. Just like a horror movie, once you know the monster then the fear lvl of the movie starts to disappear. + Show Spoiler [Another] + As for not believing, that may be the reason; however, it was also stated (I believe by Mei) how after umbrella girl died, anyone who had doubts before no longer doubted. While this may not completely apply to everyone, there's no way he had no belief in it at all. Three deaths in what? A week? would definitely affect a person's psychological endurance given the .
+ Show Spoiler [Another] +Uhh no its only upto 2 deaths a month, as far as I understand so far anyway I guess they dont make that bit particularly explicit what the time frame between the deaths is bit Misaki says something like Death of April or Death of May right ? Doesnt take anything away from how people would react to it though. Maybe theres some other significance.
But yea your right, theres no way they wouldnt have known, what the reasons are in full. Obviously a natural criticism is "well why didnt you tell Sakakibara from the start instead of letting him associate with Misaki" since they themselves admit it was a mistake. I suppose it was just a coinflipish decision and they wanted to err on the side of some convoluted sense of caution. The kid dying from his heart condition is a bit stupid. Best reason I can come up with for him wanting to spill it is that he felt since they already had Mei ignored it was maybe unfair to do it to Sakakibara aswell and would be in no danger as such.
Although Im not particularly a fan of shows that find "creative" ways to kill people its the other aspects of the show that are really enjoyable for me. The fact that they finally explained shit was nice. I dont think my patience wouldve held out much longer despite the mood which it was pretty good at creating.
I have a question though to see if I get it right. basically what we have is one of the people in Class 3 is already dead ? And they dont know it, and neither does anyone else right ? And thats whats causing the +1 phenomenon because they arent supposed to be there so they just ostracize someone to cancel that out, and then said person cant be associated with since they dont exist.
Also I have to say Reiko san and that parrot are making me feel like somethings screwed up at his house, maybe she killed her sister or something and the parents know it (this is just a bs theory just throwing it out there) but she''s been acting really fishy the last couple of episodes.

Wait till ep6 for Another then I might be able to explain things without accidentally spoiling because they decide to pace things a bit funny. Let's just say you people are all still in the dark because PA works decided it is cool to randomly put in 2 episodes what could've been done in 1.

+ Show Spoiler [Another] + umbrella girl + her mom + nurse = 3. I don't know the time frame though. The reason they didn't tell Sakakibara, from what I interpret, is that everyone in the class except Akazawa lack any leadership/decision making abilities. They were all like "let's not do anything so we don't get in trouble for doing something." Turns out that was a mistake after all.
as far as we "know," yes that's right. There may be things significantly wrong or missing with that belief though as Ecael is hinting. Keep in mind all these details are from the perspective of the characters and they themselves do not know what's going on; therefore, any information they say is subject to their own beliefs and ignorance. Even "facts" may not really be facts.
|
+ Show Spoiler [ Another] +thats why I said "this is what we have", whatever the belief is and whatever is fact (dont think there are any as such) theres no point if I dont understand it correctly. I also said upto two deaths a month, heart attack kid + nurse seem to be the following month. Misaki's other half was the first And umbrella girl + mom in the month between them. So its like family member + student each month. Again probably insignificant. Dont have anything for the first month cept Misaki's cousin or whatever she was.

This is reminding me of what made Madoka good, except that shit sucked when the twists got explained and people doing the theorycrafting are like my face.

I disagree with some of these, but it *IS* true that the protagonist is always sitting by the window.

New Nanofate yuri http://dynasty-scans.com/reader/chapters/from_fingertip_to_love which brings me to the question poll.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/ewOBf.jpg)
Poll: Nanofate is better with....Nanoha X Fate (Nanoha Dominant) (11) 92% Fate X Nanoha (Fate Dominant) (1) 8% 12 total votes Your vote: Nanofate is better with.... (Vote): Nanoha X Fate (Nanoha Dominant) (Vote): Fate X Nanoha (Fate Dominant)
I prefer a submissive Fate, the embarrassment is key! Nanoha should be dominant a more bold, after all she was the one that started doing the "befriending". A dominant Nanoha brings out the best of Fate.

However, I checked back at previous episodes and the first 2 deaths occur on May 26th. Nurse died prior to June 4th. So we're both right. The deaths were within the time of about a week but still 2 per month.
Nanoha needs to be dominant. Given their relationship, I can't see Nanoha being the submissive one. Embarrassed Fate is just too good and fits her character.

+ Show Spoiler +I believe a more puzzling thing that you guy overlooked was that Misaki, herself, didnt die when telling the MC about the situation. It does seem that the max number of death is 2 per month and the reason is yet to be explained. Maybe this IS why Misaki herself didnt die was because that months has reach it limits of death? Dont forget that what Misaki said could not even be true. It just something that they assumed and I dont believe everyone knows 100% what truly going on. All I gotta say is that the author is a fucking troll and was very good at making us question the existences of Misaki. As the story goes on, I think it will be rather interesting to find out what truely causing this. I mean, if Misaki theory is correct, then with each death, we get closer to determining the who is really dead or not.

By this point in book, well, a little bit beyond that, pretty much everything you mentioned are completely set in stone. The book handled the horror by letting you know the rules, the anime is trying to keep the audience in the dark longer for the mood, but tbh it is just kinda boring and didn't have nearly the same feel as source.

Another doesnt follow the manga anymore? Well that just pretty much killed my modivation to watch it. I guess I will read the manga now then and slowly watch it here and there probably not weekly anymore.
|
+ Show Spoiler [Another] +I'm also pretty sure they didn't tell MC about Misaki because they had already decided to ignore her. Telling him about her means they acknowledge her existence, which goes against their denying her existence. That's why all they could say was not to fuck with shit that doesn't exist.
Also, I don' think it can be MC because didn't he come in after Misaki's cousin had died already? That means before he joined the class they already had an extra. MC might make it so they have 2 extras, but I think it's safe to assume he isn't the dead person.

Chances are that the main plot is essentially unchanged.
