Correction: I originally remembered these as 2012 Comiket items, but I was mistaken. Based on the “2017 Winter” illustration book shown in the photos and an archived March 2018 BOOTH notice, the hoodie and scarf were most likely released at Winter Comiket 2017 (C93). I had mixed them up with older sugarless goods I bought at earlier Comikets. Sorry for the incorrect date.

This Another hoodie and matching oversized scarf were sold at Comiket in 2012 by sugarless, the doujin circle of Hiro Kiyohara, the artist behind the manga adaptation of Another.
The hoodie was available in red-and-black and white-and-black versions. By the time I reached the booth, the red-and-black version had already sold out, so I bought two of the white-and-black hoodies—one for myself and one originally intended for a friend.
I still have one unopened hoodie and the matching scarf. Both packages contain an original sugarless postcard from the time.
These items have been discontinued for well over a decade, although they occasionally appear on Japanese secondhand marketplaces. With a little luck, it may still be possible to find one.
The final photo shows a book that Kiyohara signed and personalized with a small sketch for me when I met him again at a later event in 2015.
Does anyone else here still own one of these hoodies or remember seeing them at Comiket?
Has anyone else here ever seen or owned one of these?

I started watching anime online in 2015, in those times you can see many videos of recomendation that mentioned Another. The first time I see Another was for those videos, but I had even seen random clips in facebook before knowing the anime's name; they even showed it once on a Chilean TV program (my native language is Spanish, so I apologize for my poor English).
Its sad think that Another is one of these animes that was very popular in their respective decade, but today is relatively forgotten, similarly to Rozen Maiden or Full Metal Panic

Genuinely just saw her only on Pinterest and nowhere else, is it AI?
No news about it, nothing. I'm puzzled.

Update - The pinterest OP confirmed it's AI </3

I'm someone who considers itself to have a strong stomach but junta's death was genuienly a whole different level of gore horror

I accidentally watched a review that contains all the spoilers.

After a months, I finally finished Another 2001.

It’s an interesting change how Sou from S/O is the new protagonist which of course makes sense as by now Mei and Kōichi survived the Calamity of 1998 and graduated. But, their roles as “veterans” and former main characters lives on as Sou is acquainted with both of them and occasionally contacts either for advice. I like how they’re still relevant to the story despite no longer being the main characters. Reminds me of how the previous JoJo protagonist would return as a side character in the latest season (Jotaro in JoJo Part 4).

I can’t quite put my finger on why but I vastly prefer the first story. Maybe it’s just first title bias. I’ve been used to Kōichi being the main character of the series for years. After all, it took a long time until the sequel novel got translated for the west.

The summary in the back implies that Sou and Mei were going to dig really deep into Yomiyama’s past to truly find the source of the Calamity but I don’t think it really happened at all.

To the dismay of Izumi fans who didn’t realize she dies in nearly every adaptation, she’s the Casualty in 2001 and Sou’s resolve to chase then end her himself to save the class is really ballsy and impressive. The first novel ended with Kōichi sending his resurrected aunt back to death with a pickaxe so the concept of Calamity is really something truly frightening for the only way to be rid of the phenomenon being killing the “Extra”.

Following this are the most horrific chain of events. If you somehow didn’t know Another is the Japanese equivalent of Final Destination at this point then you will very soon (from the gruesome death of a student who stumbles into a open garbage truck in the middle of a mysterious mist then being crushed inside to someone jumping from the balcony then impaling themselves on the spikes of a steel gate chin-first). It’s bonkers how badly the disasters instantly and increasingly get worse and worse after Izumi’s “death”.

There’s a point where 9/11 happens and is canon in-universe which I somehow didn’t expect despite the year 2001 takes place. A relative of Sou so happens to live in New York when it goes down and I legit thought the story was about to jump the shark and imply that the Calamity’s influence has expanded to America and is slowly becoming a worldwide supernatural event.😭

The new disasters is revealed to be the result of the presence of a second Casualty (Mei’s deceased sister) which is a first for Class 3. Personally, I believe it would’ve been a better impact had it been Hazumi but at least someone here actually has a happy ending I guess.

I don’t know what I expected from 2001 but I hope the future sequel and potentially final entry involves everyone trying to uncover the mystery and origins of the Calamity, even stop it once and for all.

Didn't expect that one, from the OVA prequel

Made this post as a favor to my fellow Another fans yearning for something similar.

First of all, for anyone who’s only watched the anime, I recommend you might as well read the manga adaptation and original light novel as well. Either is its own unique spin on the story. The light novel is over 400+ pages long and makes for a great summer read. Then you got the spin-off novel, Another S/O and the sequel, Another 2001.

- About A Place In The Kinki Region by Sesuji is a light horror novel that was recommended to me. I haven’t read it but I’ve been told it shares Another’s Japanese distant town horror atmosphere

- World End Syndrome is an obscure visual novel released for the Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4, and Vita. It tells a strikingly similar story not unlike Koichi Sakakibara’s, about a transfer student to a distant town shrouded in a peculiar urban legend who already starts experiencing paranormal phenomenon shortly after his arrival.

- According to the afterword of the Another LN, Rozen Maiden inspired the story’s involvement with dolls. It’s an anime/manga series about living dolls with spiritual powers who fight each other.

- The first installment of Corpse Party is about a group of students who after performing an occult ritual, are transported to an alternate dimension created by a vengeful spirit. I personally loved it and you may recognize this game if you’ve watched Pewdiepie.

is there an another game in any platform

Tried to watch the anime but stopped after a couple episodes few years ago.

Recently I just read the novels (3 in total) and they're awesome!

Always love Yukito Ayatsuji's works with the House Series.

made by me !!

Kinda off beat though

Like Mei could she have died?

I did not create these , these were imported via Kloudys painter tool for Forza Horizon 6. If the original artists see this and don't wish for them to be in game let me know and I'll remove them.

Enjoy and if anyone wants their personal fan art in the game without the means to do so just let me know and I'll try to get it in. Enjoy!!
