You know, I think I'd have been a lot more emotionally affected by this episode if I wasn't already somewhat on the side of Takano. Part of the problem is that we have already seen all these characters dying a number of times and the chapter was titled Minagoroshi, making it quite clear what's going to happen to them in the end - this all reduced considerably the shock value of the episode. All this team spirit, friendship and defeating fate are nice but presented in a way that's a bit cheesy in my opinion. A bit too much emphasis on sheer will for my taste. As we saw in the episode a will to fight is not good enough without brute force to support it. I hope they try to do soemthing really cunning in the next arc and not you know, try with even greater fighting spirit only.
I am somewhat happy that I am not the only weirdo who actually felt some pleasure from watching the sheer evilness of Takano. I was kind of annoying that Takano went for a trick from Villain Cliches 101, namely informing the protagonists what your goal is, right you before you kill them (or in most cases leave them in deadly trap from which they escape). Rena's retort was nice, thoguh! Quote:
How exactly does Takano intend to become god (goddess is not politically correct enough these days maybe?). God of what? No one is going to live in Hinamizawa after the Disaster, right? OK, she is crazy but she is not stupid. I am probably missing something important.

I think this was the best episode so far in this seeason, though a lot of this season had really awesome episode. The ending made me tear. Now I wish I hadn't given so many tens.
Anyway, Spoiler:
Oh yea, the similiaries are uncanny. Spoiler:

Hahaha. I thought up until now that this would be the last episode. Just how many episodes will there be?
Finally got the answer to the disaster mystery - it's part of Takano's plan. She happily directs the gas massacre, right after eviscerating Rika. (I thought she wasn't the type to bloody her own hands, oh, I was so wrong!) Anyway, she kills Rika and reports her death to TOKYO, knowing that the fools still believe the queen theory and that their response will be to order the massacre. I can only think it was her plan all along, to kill everyone. And that's what I don't understand about Takano. I can't see logic in her actions. She wants to be revered as a god, and then kills all that would worship her? Yet another thing I still don't understand is why Rika must be killed in that specific manner. It seems from this chapter that when TOKYO hears about her death, they order the massacre. Why don't they do it unless Rika is killed this way? Feels like I'm thinking about things that I shouldn't be at this point...

For some reason my first thought at the end was. "Oh great their enemy is completley and utterly insane." She wants to be a god...well knew she wasn't all there upstairs but this seals it.
Can't remember the last time I was this geared up for someone to be completely taken out of existence. Don't think dropping Takano into a vat of burning death would be quite enough to make things right. Do honor the effort everyone showed even in such a dark situation. Really gave everything they had and considering what they were up against it was some fight. Close combat weapons really do give way to guns in the hand of a lunatic I guess. So close to making it yet not quite. Plus owe Rika a ton of credit for her effort considering what she endured just to make sure she'd remember this. Wish them luck in the final round. They will need to really pull out all the stops. Hopefully knowing Takano is behind this will give her the necessary edge.

zomg takano what have you done!!!
"broccoli or cauliflower...which is green?" "broccoli..." "correct!" *bang* I think that shot also hit me heart Long ago i did guess that takano wasnt up to any good due to her usual "mysterious" aura...but this just seals it that she is the bad one >_< right...all i want now is for the team to gain their memories in the next life and with hanyuu...to kick some ASS!! such a shame really - they were soo close ;_;
