History YMMV / Another

** The winner would be Yumi Ogura's death. She was among the kids who went insane and chased Mei to kill her. Tried to follow her out of a window from the 2nd or 3rd floor, tried to slash her with a knife, but slipped, fell down and cracked her neck, but her body ends bent in a totally impossible angle, that leaves you wondering if the animators were just trying to avoid an accidental panty shot. Check it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYTmNfYYk9E here]].

* FoeYay: Izumi and Mei's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MulMzcRVk0 fight]]/[[spoiler:Izumi's death]] scene certainly has implications of this, with [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Izumi straddling Mei]] and the latter making whimpering and squeaking noises.

** Izumi's death is either seen as heartbreaking and tragic or satisfying and deserving. Kouichi's BrutalHonesty definitely doesn't help.

** While the fan-translation of the manga has iffy grammar in general, chapter 16 gives us [[https://www.mangareader.net/another/16/18 this narmy little doozy]].

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7e0Tgyw_A9I Anamnesis]]" by Annabel, the ending theme.

* HarsherInHindsight: In Episode 3, we have Kouichi, Teshigawara, Kazami, Izumi, Yukari, and Takako all discussing their futures. [[spoiler:With the very nature of this show, only Kouichi and Teshigawara are still alive at the end. Also we start to see the hinting of the romantic feelings that drive Kazami and Izumi mad.]]

* MemeticMutation: Pies. [[labelnote:Explanation (Spoilers)]] After someone photoshopped Nurse Mizuno smashing her head into a pie instead of the elevator's floor, photoshopping images and creating [=GIFs=] to include pies in some way has become very popular. "Slice of pie" has even become a [[NeverSayDie euphemism for death]] on 4Chan.[[/labelnote]]

* TheScrappy: When compared to his extremely minor role, background character Kenzou Kawahori has a large amount of hatred. He does two things in the entire series: First, he calls Kouichi an asshole for not wanting to [[spoiler:participate in a witch hunt against Mei]]. Second, [[spoiler:as the Sakitani Kinenkan is burning down, Yukito, Sayuri, and San get trapped under a chandelier. He runs away without helping them]]. Nobody complained at all when [[spoiler:a pillar crushed him, and the other three survived]].

* MoralEventHorizon: [[spoiler:Tomohiko alone among the kids murders two of his classmates on the off chance one might be the Extra, and was about to kill Kouichi, only to be stopped by Izumi. When it becomes evident neither of his first victims was the Extra (and further, that he has a very flawed understanding of how the Calamity actually works), Tomohiko expresses no remorse and attempts to continue his rampage. To put that in perspective, Yukito only attacked someone other than Mei by accident and was completely horrified by it, Takako specifically said she wasn't willing to kill Kouichi because she knew he wasn't the Extra, and Izumi was only willing to go that far when she concludes Kouichi was at best complacent in Mei's sadistic murder of Takako. Even taking sanity slippage into account, Tomohiko is the only character who has the demonstrated capacity to be a remorseless, cold blooded murderer.]]

* SignatureScene: Sakuragi's [[spoiler:neck being impaled by an Umbrella]] is one of the most well-known scenes among fans of the series.

* SpecialEffectFailure: In the film, [[spoiler:Chibiki and Reiko]] are pulled to their deaths by what looks like a tendril of [[ConspicuousCG obviously computer-generated]] blobs.

** Kyoumu Densen.
* BaseBreaker: Izumi's treatment of Mei, particularly publicly shaming her and demanding an apology for her failure as the non-existent student (when in fact [[spoiler:the killing actually started before Mei volunteered for the role]]) has made her fairly divisive with fans - mostly regarding whether it was justified or not. How sympathetic Takako and Tomohiko were in the last episodes also falls into this category.

** People comparing the anime to Franchise/Final Destination.

* CounterpartComparison: The anime has been referred to as the animated version of Franchise/FinalDestination.

** Peiple comparing the anime to Franchise/Final Destination.

* CosmicHorrorStory: The curse is outright stated early on to be less of a curse, and more of a force of nature. [[spoiler:The best guess is that it's trying to even the books by eliminating the person in class that shouldn't be there, but is indiscriminate in choosing its victims.]] Add that to the fact that [[spoiler:it is never explained what it actually is, and how they only stop it for the rest of the year. It will always return the next year]]...

* FoeYay: Izumi and Mei's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MulMzcRVk0 fight]]/[[spoiler:Izumi's death]] scene certainly has implications of this, with [[DoesThisRemindYouofAnything Izumi straddling Mei]] and the latter making [[LooksLikeSheIsEnjoyingIt whimpering and squeaking noises.]]

** Holy god, the end of Kouichi's "dead one" CatapultNightmare. The melting seems more like something from a comedy anime.

** A lot of the deaths in the live action adaptation, especially the decapitation, are [[SpecialEffectsFailure so poorly done]] (even more so than in the anime) they become laughable. [[https://youtu.be/GzuaxZEgmOg This video]] has a montage of them starting around 10:32.

** Yu Yamada is apparently this to his own classmates in the film. He's a relatively minor character whose only on screen appearances are very loudly blaming Kouichi for Yukari's death (while ''she's still bleeding out on the floor'') and loudly taunting the Calamity [[DoNotTauntCthulhu before being run over by a car.]] His own best friend, Yuuya, bikes off and leaves him without even checking to make sure he was really dead first. The only person who seems even remotely upset is Takako, and she gets upset ''whenever'' [[NiceGirl someone dies.]]

* SpecialEffectsFailure: In the film, [[spoiler:Chibiki and Reiko]] are pulled to their deaths by what looks like a tendril of [[ConspicuousCGI obviously computer-generated]] blobs.

* AssPull: The reveal that [[spoiler:Mikami is, actually, Kouichi's aunt Reiko. Unlike her being the dead person, this has no foreshadowing whatsoever]]. ALL the characters already knew [[spoiler:that the two of them were the same person, and that she attended that same class in the past]] and yet NONE of them bring it up, ever. One would think that would be important considering the situation they're in... It should be noted that this whole detail is handled ''much'' more gracefully in the original novel.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The random dream sequence with Kouichi in the middle of Episode 6. [[spoiler: The apparently kindly innkeeper Keiko going AxCrazy for no real reason beyond an off-hand mention of grief over her grandson's death a good month ago.]]
* CosmicHorrorStory: The curse is outright stated early on to be less of a curse, and more of a force of nature.

** For some, [[spoiler: Sakuragi]]'s death goes from horrifying to BlackComedy when you see [[spoiler: her hand in the air and her foot leaning on the last stairstep, both twitching in an almost comical manner]]. That was a bit ''too'' much.

** Yu Yamada is apparently this to his own classmates in the film. He's a relatively minor character whose only on screen appearences are very loudly blaming Kouichi for Yukari's death (while ''she's still bleeding out on the floor'') and loudly taunting the Calamity [[DoNotTauntCthulhu before being run over by a car.]] His own best friend, Yuuya, bikes off and leaves him without even checking to make sure he was really dead first. The only person who seems even remotely upset is Takako, and she gets upset ''whenever'' [[NiceGirl someone dies.]]

** Kouichi as well. [[spoiler: His mother and aunt are both dead, the latter of which he has to kill himself as much as he doesn't want to.]]

** Then again, the whole point of the curse is that when death itself is coming for you, not even the laws of physics, probability or logic will save you.

** A lot of the deaths in the live action adaptation, especially the decapitation, are [[SpecialEffectsFailure so poorly done]](even more so than in the anime) they become laughable. [[https://youtu.be/GzuaxZEgmOg This video]] has a montage of them starting around 10:32.
