1998

 * Misaki Fujioka - The first death, the "Death of April". She is Mei's cousin/sister, who died after a kidney transplant. In the anime OVA she dies from lukemia.
 * Yukari Sakuragi - Impaled on an umbrella while running down a flight of stairs on May 26th. She and her mother are the "Deaths of May."
 * Mieko Sakuragi - Died in a car accident in the same day as her daughter, Yukari.
 * Sanae Mizuno - Died when the old elevator she was in snapped its cords, which caused it to fall and crash into the 2nd basement. The force of the descent caused Sanae to fall face first onto the floor, shattering her skull and probably killing her instantly; the elevator collapsed in on itself immediately afterward, and crushed her body. It happened on June 3rd. She and Ikuo are the "Deaths of June."
 * Ikuo Takabayashi - He died from a heart attack on June 6th. He is one of the "Deaths of June" along with Sanae Mizuno. He was good friends with Yuuya Mochizuki
 * Shoji Kubodera - He committed suicide by stabbing himself in the neck with a kitchen knife in front of the class. He also killed his elderly mother in July.
 * Junta Nakao - Apparently drowning before a speeding boat hit him, chopping his body into pieces. At first the others thought he'd died while outside the city, meaning the curse had expanded its boundaries. However, it was later learned he'd hit his head while leaving his house that morning, giving him an aneurism (a burst blood vessel in his brain); this meant Junta was one of the "walking dead" as his injuries would've proved lethal even if he hadn't been hit by the boat. This death does not happen in the original novel; instead, Junta was killed by Keiko Numata at the Inn. Likewise, in the manga, he dies in the fire.
 * Aya Ayano - While leaving Yomiyama with her parents in their family car, a rock fell and hit the windshield, causing her father to lose control and drive off the mountain.
 * Atsushi Ogura - Brother of Yumi Ogura, he was a recluse who stayed at home. He died by being crushed to death by an excavator that crashed into his house.
 * Kensaku Numata - Murdered by his wife, Keiko.
 * Yumi Ogura - Fell from the second story of the inn while pursuing Mei and Kouichi. She was killed instantly, her neck broken on impact. This is taken from Izumi Akazawa's death in the novel, as Yumi survived in that version.
 * Makoto Ouji - Killed instantly by the back-draft from the kitchen fire.
 * Takako Sugiura - Driven insane by the Calamity and then strangled to death by loose electrical wires following the explosion that killed Makoto. In the original novel, she was murdered by Keiko Numata, and in the manga, she was asphyxiated by the fire at the Inn.
 * Kyouko Kaneki - Murdered by Tomohiko Kazami, who stabbed her in the spine, while trying to escape with Aki Matsui.
 * Keiko Numata - Killed by Chibiki when he was defending Teshigawara and Mochizuki.
 * Kenzou Kawahori - Crushed to death by a falling pillar while trying to escape the house.
 * Aki Matsui - Murdered by Tomohiko Kazami, who stabbed her in the neck, while she was begging Kouichi for help.
 * Tomohiko Kazami - Beaten to death by Izumi Akazawa in retaliation for his own murder of Kyouko and Aki, as well as to protect Kouichi.
 * Izumi Akazawa - Mortally wounded by flying glass while trying to kill Mei. In the novel, she broke her back after being caught in an explosion while trying to escape Keiko Numata; in the film, she is decapitated by a mooring cable while pursuing Mei.

The Opening
During the opening for Another there are brief shots of characters from the series appearing in grainy, film-like picture. When a character dies, they are replaced with a new character.
 * Following Episode 8, it has been rumored that the third and fourth characters to appear in this segment are doomed to die, as they were once filled with Yukari Sakuragi and Ikuo Takabayashi.
 * When Sakuragi died in Episode 3, she was replaced with Junta Nakao who died in Episode 8. Junta was then replaced by Noboru Saruta and Makoto Ouji. Then Makoto died in episode "Makeup", they were replaced by Tomohiko Kazami.
 * The same happened for Takabayashi, who died in Episode 5 and was replaced with Manabu Maejima. However, the fourth slot is not the "cursed" one, as though Manabu was critically injured by Keiko Numata at the inn, he survived the anime, though his character was killed there in the novel and manga.
 * The last position instead chooses an adult from the series, which originally used to be Sanae Mizuno. When she died in Episode 4, she was replaced with Mr. Kubodera who died in Episode 7. He has been replaced with Mikami-Sensei.
 * After Yumi Ogura died in episode 11, she was replaced by Matsuko Arita.
 * After Aya Ayano died in Episode 9 she is replaced with Kyouko Kaneki and Aki Matsui
 * After Takako died in episode 11, she was replaced by Sayuri Kakinuma. Oddly, Sayuri has Takako's design from the manga.
 * All of these revisions reverted to their originals in the OVA, as none of the characters were dead at that point.
 * Kouichi, Mei,Chibiki and Naomi all have opening-style artwork, despite never actually appearing in the opening.
