Anime Review: Another: Rough Sketch(1.01)

                                             Another: Rough Sketch(1.01)Review
The series opens with the story of the untimely death of a 9th grade student in class three that happened 26 years ago  named Misaki Mei and how one day after her death one student claimed she was still in the class and then from then until graduation everyone in class three acted as if she was still alive. It's said that there was more to the story and it's implied that rest of the story is much darker but that part of the story isn't told.

Koichi Sakakibara is going to be a new student in 9th grade class three but a little while before he was suppose to started school he was put in the hospital because he lung collapsed. While in the hospital Koichi is visited by three students from his new class Izumi Akazawa, Kazami Tomohiko, and Yukari Sakuragi, they all behave rather strangely and one suggest that he may have lived in the area before even though he already has denied this. One night while at the hospital Koichi meets a girl in the elavator who goes into the basement floor two because she has to give someone something she tells Koichi that her name is Misaki Mei.

Once Koichi starts attending school it's clear to him that there's something different about his new classmates and it seems like his new classmates are trying to keep something from him. Koichi meets Misaki one the roof top and she doesn't remember their first meeting and she doesn't want Koichi talking to her. Also in this conversation Misaki tells Koichi Sakakibara that his classmates fear him because his name means death and that his new school and especially class 3 are much closer to death.

I overall really enjoyed this episode I found the story to be creepy and intriguing so far. I loved the animation and I thought it was very interesting how during a lot of conversations different images would be shown. I loved the voice acting as well and I'm excited to watch the next episode. Please tell me your thoughts on this episode.
