10 Anime Series All Horror Fans Need To Watch

3. Another

This series premiered in 2012, and takes place in the small town of Yomiyama. 26 years before the start of the series, a popular student of class three at Yomiyama North Middle School suddenly passed away, and their classmates behaved as if they were still alive. Creepily, when the class took their graduation photo, the deceased student appeared in the photo.

In the present, Kouichi Sakakibara, a middle-schooler, moves to Yomiyama to live with his aunt and grandparents when his father goes to India. Kouichi joins class three of Yomiyama North Middle School, and all seems normal until he realizes no one sees one of the students in the class, a quiet girl named Mei Misaki.

As Kouichi delves deeper into Mei Misaki's existence and Yomiyama's past, he soon discovers a calamity and must work with the other students to fight a curse.

The curse affecting class three is disturbing in itself since it leads to astonishingly gruesome deaths, but it also makes the characters paranoid and unpredictable. Students of class three are rarely happy because they're afraid they're next. You don't even know who's next. This constant tension, combined with the disquieting background music, makes Another stressful to watch but well worth it.
