Well if I was throw again to that loop after everything it went throught I would be pissed for a while too. She is just seeing how things are or if there changes in this fragment and there is still 21 chapters to go so don't expect her to win at the first chance.

Remember that not every world is suitable for happy ending. In Matsuribayashi-hen, everything is close to perfect and gave a Rika a good chance to overcome her fate. This world....maybe not. Rika might decide to abandon it and wait for a better world.
In GOU the main antagonist might not even the same person.

Battler actually played his boards to the last bit, while Rikka basically just stops whenever it looks like it's a bad gameboard and then savescums up to whatever she did last.

It's a sequel that was initially disguised as a remake. Rika died as a teen and was sent back to June 1983 again. Current arc borrows heavily from the original first arc but has differences, some of them with major implications.

Comparison of old and new Usoda scene
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeMJd6SQ-eM Man, the original's scene is scary.

1. The original DEEN animation was more subdued, while the new animation has more saturated colors, so the original animation fit better on the setting. Not to mention all those birds that lose their shit and fly away after she screams. 2. Nakahara Mai's voice strained a bit on the new delivery, which made the DA sound higher pitched than the USO. The original delivery had more consistency in delivery. 3. Errr original bias I guess?

On the other hand I feel like the new show has me feeling chills down my spine right from the get go which is why the "Usoda" feels like it lacks punch: it does, it lacks that sudden spike of tension from the original show. The complete and sudden lack of background sound on the new scene ups the tension in a way that the music on the Deen adaptation just didn't do quite as good of a job in the old days. On the other hand, like others mentioned, the more subdued art style from the original show is in itself more conductive to building ongoing tension. All of these small changes in the surrounding tone of the scene and a different take on the line end up with the difference in effect. But no arguments from me, that original "Usoda" line is punchy like few others can. I'm writing this a good minute or two after watching the clip and I still feel my heart rate elevated from the suddenness of the line on the original show. 10/10 delivery for that line.

At the beginning of ep.2, I almost didn't notice that Rika woke up as Middle/High schoolgirl and changed back to the kid form after she talked with Hanyu.
..................... Spoiler for Ep.4:

After onidamashi arc, my assumptions are the following:
Spoiler:
It is worth noting that Keiichi was unconscious/in a coma for weeks considering his parents and Mion's reactions. The "two days" thing was a referrence to Mion complaining Keiichi was out of Hinamizawa for "ages" even if it only lasted 2 days. That's why he was like "huh, I guess it isn't 2 days this time". As for my general opinion, I'd rather wait for the second and third arcs to have a proper take on Gou in general. It could be either some filler similar to PS2/DS arcs, or it could give a new spin. From my perspective, it seems Gou is giving a new kind of "enemy/rule" to Rika and how things can go extremely south. As for the production values, I must admit that Gou had a weak execution when it comes to creepy stuff and the likes. Most scenes involving horror and thrills are pretty tame or badly timed/presented. I was pretty disappointed how Keiichi and Ooishi discussions were "talking heads" with little weight to the atmosphere, while Rena's usoda scene lacked a lot of punch because it couldn't let the mood sink (no transition from unsettling BGM to silence + crows flying away etc). However, Gou gives more justice to the kids considering the club activities and banters are closer to the original story. Design wise, it is fine although the color palette is a bit too agressive compared to the original.
