Spoiler:
Yeah, I just am really paranoid, so I won't 100% believe something.

Thank you for posting that actual convo. That wasn't the one that was weird to me, but yeah, there's quite a bit of evidence that Koichi had been there before.

And, sorry about that. I get now what you mean exactly. For me, to hear the exact same opening (memory bad, just saying) "Hey! I'm in India right now!" He said it like it was the first time saying it. It was just odd to me.

And, stuff about Akuzawa is also odd to me. Course, we have the art boy, who gets generally passed over all the time and somehow lives. There's also that possibility that I think some others on here have thought about.

And I think that previous years, to an extent are kept in tact. I don't think that the whole system and observations that the librarian has made are all made up by the memory altering thing.

The next episode will drastically change the theories of one of us though.

Another 9....
Spoiler:
Figured the tape wouldn't reveal things just yet of course, but wow, the deaths are getting pretty frequent and more interesting I'd say.

So, it still maintained that the curse can't directly affect you once you're out, but basically, it's stopping people from even getting out anyway?

Troll show of the year goes to...

Seriously, now that it's completely established that people die randomly, every "pointless" scene has me on the edge of my seat :X

Yeah, but no one actually died until a few episodes in, and then they played it down for another couple episodes. Now, it's just lemmings to the slaughter :X

Because it starts off slow, and speeds up as the months go on. As was explained in one of the episodes.

I... yes, you are correct. I feel like you're missing my intent, but it's not important.

Dead people are dead. (Unless they're not!)

:lol:

I think it's your emote. I don't know what that one means. To me it looked like you were saying the show had become pointless to watch, because it was just random and stupid.

I've been using it since Diablo 2 to mean like... it's hard to explain, since it's supposed to convey an emotion (hence emoticon!)~

According to Wikipedia, the Source of All Truth, it conveys "sealed lips, embarassed." I think I tend to use it in a sense of facetiousness or snarkiness. Otherwise, that description sounds fairly accurate. I know using a lowercase X translates to :x on this forum, which is not the face I associate with the emoticon, so idk O.o

So you're not liking it anymore?

Sorry if I'm so confused. I'm actually really naive, contrary to what I probably seem like at times :?

Hahaha~ I enjoy trying to predict when/where/how people are going to die, since all the red herrings make watching each episode exciting in its own right :D

Also, while it's a pretty petty trick to keep delaying the reveals, I'm still enjoying trying to figure out what's going on.

Yowza... I was lucky last year during that severe storm,

Spoiler:
When I was STRUCK BY LIGHTNING, I mean that kid died on the spot. I however, launched two feet in the air, and was shaking for a few hours.

Loving how each episode is playing out, and the deaths are becoming more predictable for me-- since I expect "Oh this character who never had screen-time is being shown a lot" "Guess they're gonna die."

I knew immediately that the dude at the computer was going to die, and that the family would die in a car crash.. as if they didn't make that extremely obvious. Nice to know that the death last episode was because the dumbass caused himself to get a brain hemorrhage and didn't have it checked out. <_<

So if he would have stayed in Yomiyama and gotten his head checked out, he'd have survived. Is it just me, or are the deaths becoming more associated with human error? Seriously, I didn't expect the brakes to hold out on that semi, or those ties to hold down that machine-- it was too obvious.

I don't know the crane death was because of the guy. Might have been the calamity, ya ~ ?

Spoiler:
I was more under the impression that the girl walking home would get crushed by the crane, not the brother. I was not really expecting the other girl (who almost got crushed by the glass that one episode) to die until after they all got into the car. After the first rock, I was actually thinking they'd get buried by an avalanche, not run off the side of the road.
