Another: The Other

This OVA builds on the relationship between misaki Fujioka and Mei Misaki. I liked how is made mei a more well rounded character because it makes the anime look sadder. Not only was she being bullied but her sister died cause of the curse. I think the horror of this OVA is well done! From the sweet beginning to the tragic end! Which is seamlessly retraces back to the beginning of the original anime. I do think this is worth the watch for the character building of Mei Misaki alone. Though, it does give some scares that will do great for horror buffs!

This OVA is a masterful exercise in atmospheric dread. Taking a step back from the claustrophobic, immediate terror of the main series, it gives us a deeply personal look at Mei Misaki during a surprisingly wholesome trip to an amusement park. The brilliance of this episode lies in its dramatic irony; the sunny, almost sweet tone is constantly undercut by the unsettling visual direction and the looming shadow of the curse the audience already knows about. It fleshes out Mei’s character beautifully, showing a softer, more vulnerable side of her before the tragedy truly takes hold. While it is chronologically a prequel, it is absolutely essential that you watch this only AFTER completing the main series to fully appreciate the heavy foreshadowing. A fantastic, emotional wrap-up for fans!

Episode 0 is a brilliant, eerie prequel. It steps away from the relentless horror to show a surprisingly sweet day at an amusement park with Mei. The atmospheric dread is still there, heavily foreshadowing the main series. Definitely watch this AFTER finishing the show!

Se estaban divirtiendo normal y justo cuando se van para sus casas, la gemela se tiene que tumbar al suelo. Se espera que se recupere... 5 minutos después: zzz... El final lo fue mejor la verdad, el cómo salía del ascensor y diciendo su nombre, muy thriller realmente.
