Mmm. With episode 8 now just a day or so away, this seems like a good time to post something I noticed a week ago that blew this arc apart. No, I didn't use any information outside the anime to come up with this, nor is it foolproof, but even so...
Spoiler for an extremely important point that the show has been hinting at, I think:


Spoiler for And what, then, of this?:

The main reason that particulal scene didn't have much of an impact had to be the sound pitch of Mion or the lack of it.

That would be some detective work if what you say is true. Then the comparative scene would be when

I remember back in school i used to switch around which hand i used to carry my bag - really i don't think that has anything to do with it.

& just like what Matrim said, you could proof this lil' idea of with anything Shion or Mion have done with there hands.

The main question that is plaguing me from this episode is, how does the inspector know Shion is missing after the night of the festival? If this fact is taken for granted, all the suspicion automatically falls on Mion.

If this scene was seen for the first time with the mute button in your media player turned on, how would you have imagined her tone of voice of speaking after seeing her face contoured in rage such a way? I suppose, in the end, it's all matter of personal point of view.

I don't think Oishi stated that Shion went missing after the night of the festival, only that she went missing as stated to Keiichi in the car. I too originally thought he meant that, but after watching the car interrogation scene again, I realize that he said she's missing, with no time noted. The reason I checked was because Oishi saw both Keiichi and Shion (or Mion) at the Library, so that's probably the last time anybody saw her, so it wouldn't make sense for Oishi not to think of that day. I suspect that Shion was reported missing the day after the library meeting (or the day before car interrogation).

Memento has a good timeline description on his blog, so you may want to refer to that as an aid.

You know. (I blitzed through all the episodes subbed yesterday.) Mion is the one that´s been scaring the shit out of me time and time again. First when she looks at through the spring between the door and the wall in the first arc. When they gave him the onigiri. (That scared the shit out of me.) Then later on we have the moments with the ladder and the laughs through the phone. They really gave me the chills.

It feels like it´s been ages since I found a really good horror/thriller movie/series. Higurashi made me start to bite my nails again.

In the game, Oishi mentioned that she went missing the day after the festival, and that the library encounter (which took place the day after the festival) was the last time anyone has seen her.

The anime tends to leave out some important things at times, I don't know why they do that.

Hmm well fist of all the ladder scene. You really think of a higher crazier voice when you say Mion's face so that's the only thing that bothered me.


But something important(^.^) When the Watangashi chapter begins it says: "Jealousy". So maybe Mion is actually jealous at Shion and that would explain why she stayed in Shion's clothes even at home. Well this is all pure speculation, but maybe worth looking at?



BTW: I love this anime.

Darn anime! Not the first time lack of info screwed me over! But I do have the tendency of looking of scrutinizing every small bit of detail ad nauseum. Oh well.

So, um, WinD released a second version of episode 7. They changed the "no blood" line from Mion to "that's it".

And it doesn't turn red anymore. Is that significant?

No, it seems they re-translated the part on the note that I made in post #15 of this thread.
