This episode only needs one word to describe it. Oh. Shit.
Spoiler for Episode 8 spoilers:
|
Uh oh, as soon as I saw Rina I knew there would be some trouble going down in this episode.
Rika freaking out in the clinic was great. I'm glad the freaky faces aren't nearly as bad as they were first season. And Rika had a right to be pissed. |
Indeed she did
Edit: Raw is out |
Great episode, every event is well spaced out, and they didn't really leave anything important out. It's good to see lots of famous quotes in this epsiode, but too bad Rena's respond to 1500s is cut out. Dark Rika at the hospital was also nicely done.
Spoiler for Episode Quick Summary:

I'm certainly starting to like Keiichi more. The way he stood up to Shion there was hardcore. Plus Rika's freak out was very nice as well.
|
Caps etc
http://blog.seiha.org/?p=268 Kind of annoyed in the complete and drastic switch in tone and attitude between last episode and this one. There was absolutely no transition at all between the hope at the end of the last episode and well... this one. Meh. |
Well I can't really give any real insight until the subs are out, but from watching the raw...
Spoiler for Bad attempt at episode 8 summary:
Also, it looks like they toned down the freaky faces so it's more realistic, but Rika kinda freaked me out. O_o EDIT: Subs are out. Going painfully slow though... probably gonna have to wait until tomorrow. |

But the problem is he came out of nowhere.

Rika is kinda lucky; thrashing around in the clinic without having a wardrobe malfunction. Still, she needs the other to save her girlfriend. I hope the sub appears soon.
|
For some reason it did look like her clothes were about to fall off

The sudden change bugged me too. It made me feel like I missed an episode in the middle or something. It wouldn't have felt so "unnatural" if they gave just a little bit of foreshadowing at the end of the previous episode.

That Rika's pissing off scared me though, even though I know she has every right to be pissed off, but to think she would do something like THAT just completely escapes my mind. Keiichi certainly deserves some praise in this episode, his courage to stand up to Shion shows yet another time he changed fate. Let's see how this arc goes :D |
Wouldn't K1 get a concussion from getting hit on the head with a desk
and Rika breaking down at the end was done really well |
geh... *loves exams*..
Summary is up, though no screencaps. (ho well, aroduc post them anyway ^^) Episode 8 : Summary, screencaps and thoughts. the rest should be up soon. as for my opinion: i wasn't expecting nothing else than this, and again DEEN doesn't disappoint in that aspect. The start HAS to be upsided down: it was exactly the mood they have to do. The spiral of despair isn't something which is always "gradual", but can hit the batshit HARD, and this is what MrZombie said : when Teppei arrives, it is completely a reversal of the whole situation. That pretty much explains why Rika begun to be so erratic. if it wasn't that shitty in one blow, she would simply crawl in despair like before. i would have definitely complain if they were trying to go easy on us, and slowly making things doomed. but no, this is exactly what it should be, and they didn't even forget about Rina's death, which is the answer of Tatarigoroshi-hen (the corpse so to speak) the pace was much more neat than last week, and they delivered nicely everyone feelings. (especially the dreams were well inserted here) My my... many KOOL K, and we will have even more later on ! a very strong episode, and next episode will be even more intense for this case ^__^ EDIT : the preview of EP9 is up http://www.animate.tv/special/higurasi_yokoku.php one thing to say : they didn't forget kameda, and various HUGE points are shown. next episode will be epic. K~~~~~~~! EDIT 2: screecaps and thoughts are up ! |
this episode is OH MY ******** GOD!. Bye bye rina!!! :)
