It is an anime about a very mysterious girl called Misaki Mei and a normal high school boy called Kouichi Sakakibara.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Literally Among Us (or Final Destination), the anime. For Final Destionation, there is a very minimal thing that may kill you. And for Among Us, one of the characters is an impostor.
 * 2) The concept of a school class that is cursed due to a complex backstory and one student gives bad luck to the others is very decent, and the execution is very well done.
 * 3) The opening, the ending and the next episode preview. Enough said.
 * 4) Pretty unsettling to watch... for a very good reason. The death scenes are shocking (despite most of them being absurd and unreal, much like the Final Destination movies) and the acting is very realistic (no "overacting").
 * 5) Many anime (particularly Shonen ones, Another is Seinen, but still...) are known to have over-the-top and typical face expressions and reactions, so Another has little to no of them, in order to have a minimal highlight over the others. It is also part of the anime's dark tone.
 * 6) Very good character designs.
 * 7) Both thrilling and beautiful soundtracks.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Despite having only 12 episodes, one episode is a filler. The episode question is number 8 ("Hair stand") where the class 3-3 students go to the beach to have some fun, which is out-of-place to the shows' serious tone and lets the curse problem a little bit aside.
 * 2) *Clickbait: The pre-opening preview scene shows a massive splat of blood; but what is shown in the episode is not even close to that.
