There are plenty of supporting characters in the class, but most of them are really just there to die. Mochizuka Yuuya, the frail art kid, finishes up the really major characters. Teshigawara Naoya takes the role of comedic support (which is awkward in a horror story, but it wasn’t that bad). Akazawa Izumi, the tsundere, was a nice character too, but doesn’t really make all too many appearances early on. Mei was a pretty cool character, mysterious and quiet. Kouichi isn’t that stellar of a protagonist, but he gets things moving. The characters in this show tend to be fairly bland. Also, the ending that they use is very appropriate. While it’s true that they get a little excessive with the killing to the point of being a bit comic, I have to say that their decision to use mob psychology was very well done and incredibly interesting to watch. Also, I have to give props to the show in the end. Still, there are cliffhangers galore, which can be a bit frustrating when following an airing show, but definitely effective in keeping interest. I had a ton of fun coming up with theories every single week. However, I saw this show more to be a mystery, giving out hints and clues for the viewers to solve it with the characters.
This show presents itself as a horror series, and it certainly tries to uphold that with the death and ridiculous amounts of blood. When he finds out, he is thrust into a race to solve everything to prevent the deaths of his classmates. The story follows him as he tries to solve the mystery behind his classmates and their strange behavior. Kouichi meets a girl named Misaki Mei, and starts to take an interest in her. However, the class chose to pretend that Misaki was still alive, even up to graduation. There’s a story in this class about a class years ago where a student named Misaki died. Basically, Sakakibara Kouichi transfers into a class that seems strange for some reason.
This is a show that I’ve enjoyed following as it aired.
