Mysterious Opening...

[Watayo_Hirashi]

I've just finished the anime "Another" and it was AWESOME ! XD Anyway, what I'm here today is about the mysterious opening... I'm sure a lot of you who watch Another would know there are a lot of blind spots in the opening. And what I mean by blind spots are things that seem to be there but probably you haven't noticed it yet. Here is a comment posted on one of the opening videos of Another on Youtube from a certain Youtube user.

"At 0:07 there's a person who appears in the hallway.
At 0:36 there's a shadow of a person on the floor.
At 0:45 the hand in the coffin twitches.
At 0:52, on the third blink, you can see the face of a person reflected in her eye.
There's a person at 1:12, in between the clips of dolls, holding a knife.
Finally, before the title shows up at 1:24, there's a white light / shadow type thing, that I think is a person, only I can't make it out."

Yeah, I found all of that after I saw that comment, but I still think the opening is really mysterious... Who was that at the hallway ? Or the shadow at the lift ? And many others... Does anyone have the same thoughts ?

Here's the video...

Aha that's exactly what I was thinking!!:O

I think it means..
sorry spoilers..

 

For the one in the hallway, it kinda foreshadows the "first" death of the girl who died with the umbrella?
for 0:36 with the person's shadows in the lift, it reminds me of the death of the nurse, when the elevator crashed and she died
Coffin is a strong reminder of you know how at Mei's home there the coffin amongst the doll and in there is a doll of her which also reminds her of her twin so that bit works on 2 levels, showing the doll and as a reminder of the death of the sister.
In the eye, kinda creepy wasnt sure about this one...?
At 1:12 with the dolls with knives, I don't think its a doll considering it runs and jumps towards us with the knife... I think its probably a person which is probably about teacher with knife? Or less of a stretch that it's about the parts near the end when the students start atacking the other students and such
Also the white bits just a transitional effect since in slow mo it really doesn't make out to be anything

But yeh that's what I think ^_^

Wow that's crazy! I haven't seen the series, but I might watch it now, but in a well lit room.. @_@ i love intros like that that foreshadow the series, and make a lot more sense after you've watched the series, rather than the obligatory opening... hah
