It'd be nice if he posted it while /a/ is still up. Who knows how long it will be up this time.
This is an interesting episode because all the pieces have already been translated. Anyone can read them to see how summarized the anime is in comparison. |

Heh, this episode kinda made me hope that Higurashi would make use of that Lost "whshooooooOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHSSSSSSSSSS * BOOOOOOOMMMMMM" noise that always ends character flashbacks.
you know. just so it would be easier to keep track of where we're going. |

I can see what you mean by a pained "gomenasai" from Hanyuu, but the thing is, I didn't really feel any emotion when she said it, which is what I meant by Hanyuu needing to sound more...assertive. Perhaps assertive isn't the right word. I think she needs to sound more emotional. What I felt when I watched the episode was that Hanyuu was really bored rather than pained, but of course, that can be just my own personal interpretation. |

Another suprising episode, made me remember all the side-plots in Higurashi, or should I say plots within plots? Gotta love the Takano-Irie interactions especially. I guess upcoming is discovery of the parasite, past recollections for Kei and Rena, the Mion/Shion switcheroo, Satoshi's disappearance, and maybe more loose ends I don't recall. It'll be interesting to see it all tie in with the main plot.

Well another episode in which we start understanding more things about what's going on. The murder of that Manager finally gets explained. Nothing in conspiracy but a killing that came in a rush. Seems like the manager was affected and went at them and in counter they killed him. Clearly that one guy was well into it with the limb chopping up.
Certainly get to see Satoshi feeling burdened with everything. All the pressure he was under with living in that house. And Takano...that woman creeps me out more every episode it seems. Even planning on dissecting Satoko up. Hanyuu spending a lot of the episode apologizing for being unable to act all that time. And you can imagine what it was like to watch all this unfold from her point of view. But she'll be ready to go this time. Should keep getting some answers as it moves toward their battle.

Not bad, not bad at all, pieces of the puzzle are starting to fall into place and the series is still able to surprise. I liked Satoshi's outburst, he is not just Satoko's selfless protector. And the first "curse" murder and disappearance was shown quite impressively.
I don't get it how Hanyuu and Rika were able to go back that far in time, though. Also, since Hanyuu can roam into the clinic and Takano basically behaves like a borderline psychopath, spilling the beans to anyone who might be eavesdropping, I find it more and mroe implausible that Rika and Hanyuu never suspected her.

I disagree. I though that he was portrayed as a spineless wimp who can't stand up to his own subordinate when she's blatantly going off and making people become affected by the Hinamizawa syndrome in order to acquire more test subjects. He's certainly not sympathetic since he could easily prevent this but doesn't do so.

I'm really enjoying what they are doing. After answering the principle question "Why are these strange events occurring?", most animes would just try to resolve it. Here, they're trying to do the Meakashi-hen version of the show: Show everything that actually went on from the very begginning. My understanding is that it was like this in the game too.
Overall, a wonderful episode, part of a wonderful epic series.
