To clear a few things up:
1. Mion knocked Keiichi out with the taser in the original sound novel, not a rock like in the anime. So for those of you who's thinking Keiichi's delusional because he got bonked over the head, you can assume that's not the case (well, unless you have another reason to think he's delusional). 2.

It may not necessarily be "psycho", but: Photographer clawed out his throat. Rika repeatedly stabbed her own head with butcher's knife. Shion (?) jumped out of the window after she got into a quarrel with herself. Keichi saw Mion/Shion attacking him after she died. |

Except, maybe, Satoko-chan. Poor little girl, got killed because Mion (Shion/Demon/Whatev) wanted to have fun. D: Even Rena had psycho moments if you think for a moment... She acted like a profissional detective, and she even owned Oishi. How can not this be psycho? ;P |

Eh, is Keiichi a total moron or what? I mean, come on, Mion just confessed everything You have a serial killer before you, a crime lord, a mafia boss, and you stroll around and talk idly? Even if we assume that Rena and Mion were really close friends so Rena wants to support her if she turns herself in, Keiichi (based on his reaction pattern) should have run off to get a bat ready. He got nuts for lesser reasons in the previous arc Oh well... Keiichi is probably like Kenny in Southpark. He has to be killed in every arc in a different way

WOW. Nice episode. The animation quality was a little low during someof the tensest momments and the backgrounds felt a little too bright and cheerful for what should have been really creepy locations (but maybe I'm playing too much Resident Evil), but the overall impact of the episode was up there with episode 4! Big surprises, multiple climaxes, and a seeming hard left into the territory of the supernatural - all very very good.
I'm really glad the show is mixing it up this way, I was afraid it would start to form too much of predictable cycle. The mystery would keep me hooked, but the stories would get stale. Spoiler:

Interesting, with a history like that. Why would the Sonozaki want to revive the old Watanagashi tradition again? It makes outsider's perception on the Hinamizawa residents worse. Or do they feel that it can't get any better and they are using it to write fear into their enemies like the tips say.
I must say Watanagashi is way more confusing and intriguing than Onikakushi with the twin business and the old traditions coming into light... wait Tatarigoroshi tops it? I can't wait. Regarding the Mion/Shion zombies and duplicates, I feel like I should give up and say something supernatural is happening, though I'm still stubbornly hoping otherwise. Anyway after thinking for a few days and still without any big theory in mind, I think I'll just present my thoughts on some of the smaller questions first. To help my own writing, I'll use onee whenever I'm refering to the same person that is the evil Mion in episode 8. Spoiler:
As usual, I have no way to piece my conclusions together, I wonder how many of them are wrong. There are alot more I'm still wondering, the reappearance of the syringe for example... |
