Just like episode one, episode five opens up with.....

Spoiler for screenies for episode 5 prologue:
So beautiful~<3 <3 <3 TT_TT |
Why is it that the characters come back to life for each chapter? :confused:
|
Because it's to show you alternate routes that could have been taken during each arc so you can get a better understanding of things, while figuring out more of the mystery.

Ok, my episode 5 comments with highlights. Only read if you have already seen episode 5, or don't mind being spoiled: Spoiler for episode 5:
|
Er, Sushi, from your reaction to the "opening scene", can we assume that the show is now diverging from the direct path the game took? I.E. the scene in episode 5 isn't Watanagashi-hen's climax scene from the original game?
Spoiler for episode 5:

Just checked out the raw ...
The first 30 seconds just blew my mind. And I thought Narutaru was memorable ... I can't wait to read the blogs to see what people think of this scene. :heh: |
Quote:
So, no, the story isn't diverting, it's just showing more contents than what the original game's Watanagashi-hen had. But hey, that's not a bad thing either, aha, ahahaha :heh:...... crap, hope I didn't spoil anything |

[reserved for ep 5 impressions]
Sushi : as someone pointed out on the main higurashi board, choosing that particular scene for the opener seems weird (although that's debatable). I'll write more in the game thread since it involves spoilers. |
Yep, gruesome as it was and disheartening to see it, putting that at the top of this chapter was a good one by the production staff - it really grabs the attention, especially to anime viewers who hasn't played the game. What better way to bitch slap the viewer that you ain't seeing just a loli-moe~ show than to start off with
Spoiler:
One thing that did catch my attention was how they changed the game scene at Mion's uncle's toy shop. Overall it got the job done so I guess it doesn't really matter; especially since the anime isn't going onto Minagoroshi-hen. |
Ahaha... I loved this episode.

The doll event also lost some of its impact because there was only one doll. In the game, the toy shop ojisan actually gave everybody a doll except Mion (in other words, Mion was only one who didn't get anything). And even knowing that, Keiichi still gave Rena the doll instead of giving it to Mion. It shows just how much Keiichi didn't believe dolls suited Mion. Again, minor details that doesn't really affect the story, but would've been nice if they kept them. |
i just downloaded ep 5 subs....still trying to decide if it's a good thing to watch it at midnight *shivers*... ~.~
EDIT: nvm...it was an awesome ep....Shion~~~....the opening scene was rather gruesome too...^^ cant wait for ep 6.... |
Watched the fansub finally. Can never get over the first 30 seconds. Gosh darn ... Well, here's the question on my mind after first viewing and quick review.

Spoiler for specualation about the Mion/Shion pair:

Well, the starting for each chapter is eccentric.
Spoiler:
Ohwell, an interesting and not as scary ep xD Quote:

All i can gather from this ep is:
Spoiler for ep 5 speculation:
|
Spoiler:
I have no theories, no expectations; I'm just tagging along for the ride. And thoroughly enjoying myself at the same time. Weird as it all may be..... |
awesome episode that left me wanting more but it also confused me alot
Is this another story completely that just uses the same characters? or did it just go back in time and is telling another story that co exists with the first story? or is it something completely different lol |
Spoiler for ep 5:
Can anyone clarify for me the relationship between Hinamizawa, Okinomiya, and Shishibone City? Doesn't seem important really, but I thought it might help me understand the area of influence the Sonozaki family have. Thanks. |
Spoiler for ep5:

Quote:
So within Shishibone City, you have two sub-divisions: Okinomiya - a town Hinamizawa - a village |
mm one question,
how come oishi didn't tell keichi that Mion had a twin sister? aswel as a brother :confused: don't tell me the brother turned in to a girl??? mazaka:heh: |
Quote:
As for the whole Shion/Mion relationship thing, there's a lot more to it than meets the eye. One thing's for certain, Meakashi (Watanagashi's "answer" chapter) will definitely bring a lot of surprises for most people. Also, some people above were asking why certain events that happened in this episode (Watanagashi-hen) didn't happen in Onikakushi-hen (for example, why wasn't Shion introduced in Onikakushi-hen?). I can only give out one hint: When you replay a stage in, say, a shooting game, you never get exactly the same developments or results every time, right? This is the same thing. Quote:

Is it just me or...
Spoiler for Episode 5 + stuff from 4(theory):
Suddenly becoming a big fan of Shion with a growing like of Mion. She may not have quite the psycho charm of Rena, but something must be loose in the head if she can laugh during that opening scene... |
Yeah, I didn't have to reacquaint myself with my meal! (I watched this episode on an empty stomach. :D )
Spoiler:
Also... Spoiler:

EDIT: So let me get this straight: Kei and gang going to the shop to play cards in episode 5 happened because a different route was taken in the story? Or could this have occured in Onikakushi-hen, but we didn't see it? |
I watched it in the morning instead of 11pm, since I didn’t want to be awake at night thinking about the show->I like my sleep. Even the first scene with Rika was not as disturbing as I thought it would be.
I gave episode five a 9, I would have given a 10 if they gave me more Shion and Mion screen time. I enjoy how the dynamics are playing out between the sisters and Keiichi. I feel joy for him (i.e. “Lucky dude, you got cute girls who like you.”) and anguish (i.e. “Bummer dude, you got girls with skeletons is their closets”) at the same time. Otherwise, I enjoyed the mostly light-hearted slice-of-life break from what went on in ep.3-4. Spoiler for US Presisdent:

No, I'm not making this up. :heh: Here's an example of Keiichi's reality marble: Spoiler:
If you're lucky, you'll get your first glimpse of "K" in Tatarigoroshi. ^^; |
Spoiler for opening scene:
-edit sorry didn't think it was spolierish, fixed now. |
Yes....
Putting Lemonheads' thoughts in a spoiler in case none of you saw it.

I also had that thought and it's certainly possible but I also had a thought: Spoiler:

Spoiler:

Question: is there any significance to the gun Mion carries? Will this arc explain the gun?
|
Quote:

Quote:
1. Mion's shocked reactions whenever she sees Shion 2. Shion's reason for not living together with Mion 3. Shion's familiar attitude towards Keiichi right from the beginning 4. Shion's attitude/personality in general 5. The reason why nobody has ever head of Shion before 6. The reason for that sorrowful look Shion had on her face just before the break in this episode 7. The reason for Mion's depression 8... Actually, you know what? I'm sure all the questions raised in this thread will be explained eventually + answers to things you probably never even thought about. Watanagashi-hen is very rich in contents (much more so than Onikakushi), and the mystery will only get deeper and deeper. It's probably one of the most involved chapters in the game (much more than it appears to be). Your best bet is to focus on the Sonozaki twins, and gather as much as you can about their personalities and their circumstances (as much as you can tell) from within this chapter. Hopefully the anime doesn't cut out TOO much from the game, or else things might start getting... hard to figure out. Remember those general tips: 1. Don't believe everything you see, and 2. What you have learned about a character's personality applies across ALL chapters (hint: this works both ways, something you know from a previous chapter may help you determine something in this chapter. Similarly, something you newly learned in this chapter may help you determine something from a past chapter as well) Quote:
Spoiler for off topic about Rena's fighting skill:
Quote:
As far as I know, it's a model gun, not real. That and models guns are one of Mion's hobbies (and no, I don't think that has any significance either). Edit: ah kj beat me to it. :heh: |
