Another

Warning this review may contain spoilers.

First impressions, so we got an anime the is known as the final destination of anime.
Sounds interesting enough what could possibly go wrong?

Story, 4/10

So the premise of another are main character going to this new school were he finds out that the class room he is in has a curse That will take place every year that kill one student and his relatives once every month and the only way to stave off the curse from happening again for a year is to completely ignore the existence of one of your follow classmate intill the year is over.
So my thoughts on this where, oh my god there is a school that has a mysterious curse that will kill all the students. where haven't I herd that before.
This premise alone basically screams a generic horror story with a mysterious curse and people we don't give a fuck about die'in left and right And for the most part that is basically how it plays out.

So the story is basically about the main character that pretty much kick started of the curse by mistake and him trying to figure out about the mysterious curse.
Which is really for me where the show took a nosedive.

Because as you find out more about this mysterious curse the more it make less sense.
Because they never explain any thing about this curse like where it came from or what's is the reason it is happening.
Which is really stupid because if you have seen any horror movie that involve curses for example like a witch as hanged and she placed a curse on the people that wronged her and then like 400 years later a group of people get involved and then try to brake this curse and shit like that.

But another doesn't really do any of that.
Because these characters do nothing proactive to stop this curse at all.
all they ever do is try to stop it from starting and then reacting when the curse starts taking effect and go bat shit crazy by the end of it and try to kill one another to stop the curse.
Which doesn't work out very well in retrospect.

And I got to ask this question why dose this school willingly let students go into a class room that they know is cursed? So Is closing down a class room and having a little bit of classroom overcrowding that hard to deal with.

So as a horror story it really dose fail becuase it never really explains itself probably.
Because literally this is what they explain apparently a girl died and then after her death the curse starts going off and this curse brings back a person from the dead I shit you not and if you don't ignore the existence of one off your follow class mates the curse will start killing people and the only way to end the curse for the that year is to kill the person who has been brought back from the dead.

So seems ligt.

Now some say this is tragic and sad but I couldn't really agree with that.
Because this story is forced as fuck literally And your thinking to yourself what type of story isn't forced. But this show is highly guilty of this.
Because for some reason they have students who are on the curse prevention duty and yet none of them came up with the brilliant idea of just closing down this classroom.
Because being proactive is so bloody hard and Just to add to my point the show even admit it self because at the end the two characters left standing after thay brake the curse.
Just deside to continue like nothing ever fucking happened. Oh what main character you going to do some thing what is that. Oh your going to remember them the people who died so not telling the school to close that classroom down that makes sense.

Characters, 5/1O

The main character is pretty much bland as toast.

There is absolutely no personality and is pretty much genenic as all fuck.
He is pretty much there to be the average joe.
You would think that all the shit he goes though you would think that he would change.
But it seems that he is never completely bothered by what is happening.

The side characters are also bland and generic.
They are pretty much cardboard cut outs that we are superpose to care about.
But you can't care about people that you now are going to die and have no personality.
Yet for some reason they try to have moments where they have the character interaction that try's to add personality but that in the long run is going to go to waste because they had no personality to begin with and the fact they are al going to die is horrible ways.

Art, 6/10

The animation for another was quite polished and clean.
Which kind of bothered me because I think that a more gritty animation would have fit the story more.

The backgrounds where nice done nothing god tir but they did an ok job.

The color scheme for this anime is very grim which fits the show quite nicely.

The art style is pretty much the by the book set style that you have pretty much seem almost very where. So its generic.
The character designs are also generic as well.

Sound,6/10

The op theme song is catchy. but I personally never took to it.
The ending song is quite relaxing but other than that there really isn't much to it.

Now the ost as quite different because it really did add to the atmosphere of the story.

Which is quite nice. So I give them props for that.

Enjoyment 5/10

For me personally I really liked the over the top death scenes.
Because I am really am the gore fan and plus when I think about it the death scenes are really over the top which kind of makes them funny.

I also love the 11-12 episodes because it literally turns into a massive blood bath with people freak out and start killing each other.
Which turned this show from a horror to for me to a comedy for me.

Overall,5/10

Another is a generic horror story and if you like horror and gore then this will be your cup of tea.

But if your looking for more than just senseless gore then you will be unhappy with poor characters and overall bad writing.
