I must've missed that scene. It's been too long since I've watched the anime...

I just watched the film last night, if you couldn't tell from my sudden barrage of references therein. One thing which stuck out to me is this: Misaki doesn't exist in this universe, meaning Yukari is the first death, meaning it really is Kouichi's fault the curse has started. The characters who clue in to this are, with the exception of Takako, vilified in the film and all four of them (Yu, Naoya, Mizuno, and Izumi) die, but I have to say, they're actually right: they told him and told him and told him to stop talking to Mei and he stupidly did anyway. It makes him not especially likeable, which is amusing and as damning an indictment of that adaption as anything I can think of.
