Episode 15: Summary and Screencaps

as usual, kinda rough, and will be corrected with subs.
Screencaps are now available

A better version has already been put on nicovideo

There's a thread about episode 15 with many screenshots from it in Futaba at the moment. This one (spoiler) really surprised me.

The best part of this episode is after the credits

It gave me chills.

Another well done epsiode. Timing is spaced nicely, from the continuation of last week's Miyo's past to the declaration of war at the end.

Part A:
Went according story, and the fear factor is definitely there when they show the orphanage again. Nicely done segment. We get to see what happened to Tanashi Miyoko after she challenged god.

Part B:
Something was wrong with the drawings, as Hifumi (and sometimes Koizumi's represenatives) had a tiny head and a huge body. We also get to see the basis of Takano Miyo's resolves and her source of motivation.

Part C:
Miyo visits Hinamizawa, which takes place before Irie Insititue was established in Hinamizawa (if I remember correctly). Hanyuu, retaining her memory from Minagoroshi-hen's ending, finally steps up to the stage. If one thing that was lacking, I would say that Horie Yui's voice wasn't...angry or authroitive sounding enough. She fits the "au au" parts very well, but not the serious god parts...

Raw for 15 out...

Yeah... they forgot the "化け物" point... not sure if it is THAT important. We shall see how they will take care of the KAKERA MUSUBI.

How long does it take for the web preview to be put up

I absolutely loved the part after the ED. The rest of the episode was pretty tedious. Badass Horie Yui voice = <3 though.

I have a bad feeling the KAKERA MUSUBI are going to be ruined

Opposed to completely skipped that many thought it would be.

バゲモノ was actually AFTER kakera musubi...

Translation please?

It's really hard not to read the spoilers. Really. *prays for a fast subbing*
Anyway, what does "kakera" means ? It's been a while I was wondering...

KAKERA MUSUBI = Putting the Pieces Together = what the next 3 eps are going to be about.... maybe?

Hanyuu's sweet tooth is her absolute weakness.

I really want to see the preview for 16. It'll be a good indicator what it shows.
