Eh, I don't know why but I thought this episode felt kinda... cluncky. The flow felt weird... maybe because I read many of ep. 18's Pieces exactly before I watched the episode.
I was also disappointed that they didn't show Rena's monologues during the Red Pill and Rena Ryuuguu pieces, and the lack of Akasaka. I guess its because of the time restraint. Also, why is it that we never get to see Ichirou's face? I wished he looked like his manga counterpart. Showings of a true artist. |

The problem is that DEEN is more focused at the horror + fanservice portions, and often neglecting the minor details because of that. For the first few question arcs, that approach is acceptable, since it's what the game is about (Onikakushi-hen DID started out with the premise of a dating-sim-ish setting, as Ryukkishi07 has stated before. It was a plan to hook people onto the murder mystery portions)
However, now that we have moved into the answer arcs, DEEN is still doing the same thing. Granted, we do see what's going on, since it is essentiel as the plot is finally unfolded. However, the much minor details are still neglected, to give room to the horror aspects. For example, ep18 we have a long sequence explaining what really happened to Satoshi after he killed his aunt. It is important to show what happened to him, but not so much that it takes up so much time that the other pieces are just mentioned briefly. And the thing with Akasaka keeps poping up in discussion, and really, they didn't gimp Akasaka. He doesn't show up until later, as he's not even in the village during the 5 years of events. All you needed to know about Akasaka is already covered in Himatsubushi-hen.

Probably does depend on the world who he would end up with. If depending on the situation different characters can be pushed to L5 then it would stand to reason Keiichi could end up with either. If this is to be the last world and they move forward. Then his interactions here will give a final decision on that argument. Since if they all died in other worlds it really doesn't matter all that much.

Satoko just seems to move from one tragedy to another, I really hope she gets a happy ending eventually. |

18 felt a little less flowy than the last 2 episodes. Still, as a first time Higurashi watcher, I love to see all of these pieces fitting together. Even the smallest of things in the story are beginning to make sense. I was surprised to see that the club was made just for Satoko's sake. I thought it was just there without any real relevence to the story.
I just wish that they would have said something more about how Rena bashed all the windows in her previous school. I mean, I understand it pretty much about how she was L5 at the time and was triggered by her mother, but I just wish they would have showed it. Ah well.

07th Expansion organized a vote on which is the most popular pair of characters in Higurashi. Keiichi and Rena came first with 25.5% of the votes, barely inching out Keiichi and Mion, who got 25.3%. Keiichi and Rika were third with 7.4% and Satoshi and Mion fourth with 5.8%.

Do hope there is a light at the end of the tunnel for her as well. She has had a lot of terrible things happen to her so it would be nice to get a chance to live happily with her friends. Quote:

I prefer Keiichi/Rena, but Keiichi/Mion is fine too. |

Nice, a tie for 14th with Chiyo and curry. Wouldn't count much on the facial expressions since Takano and Rika are both smiles. Though I'm sure she'd be surprised to get third place in the poll.
Regardless agree that Hanyuu being taken home will be excellent. No more watching the show, time to get involved.
