Meh, this was a bad episode.
1) Placing all those traps would have taken months. Also, how could they possibly know where exactly the enemy will walk and place their traps accordingly? And logs? Where did they find logs? And how did they get them where they wanted them? And how did Keichi and Rena know the three guys would come at them through that exact spot that allowed them to catapult the barrel at them? The whole mountain scenario was so ridiculous in so many ways. It was a huge disappointment. 2) Why are the Yamainu so horribly incompetent? It's like they randomly picked some teens off the streets to be in their elite force. There is no way Kasai should have been able to intimidate the two guys at the clinic like that. Besides, one of them had a clear opening to shoot Kasai while his friend was being kicked and he did nothing. 3) How come the kids are so calm and confident? They're being chased by a dozen guys with automatic weapons! Any normal person would be on the edge of panicking in a situation like that. 4) The animation was pretty bad again. I felt the animation in most action scenes lacking and there was that one scene where Hanyuu was praising Keichi and he just stood frozen like a lemon and it looked really unrealistic. That is not how a studio like KyoAni would have handled it. This is rapidly becoming my least favourite chapter in the anime. They're constantly breaking the mood with absurdities that have no place in an anime with a serious plot like Higurashi. |

1. Those Traps were placed by Satoko as she was growing up. So yes it did take months for all the traps to be set
2. Kasai knocked out both of them. So no the other Yamainu couldn't have shot him 3. These kids aren't what you call normal. As Satoko killed her parents, Mion forced her sister to get her fingernails pulled out, Keiichi shot at littile girls with a bb gun, Rena is well Rena, and don't even get me started on Rika and Hanyuu 4. Yes the animation is bad sometimes, Though if you played the original games... let's just say it's an improvement

You're nitpicking over little details.
Obviously everything was planned out. They just don't go into detail explaining everything because that would waste precious time. There's also obvious stuff like "how could they know where they enemy would go?" Duh, they don't. There's just traps all over the area. Do you really need everything explained to you? |

But again, certain traps required the kids to be there to set them off and they simply would not be suitable in real life. How come the Yamainu did not see Keichi and Rena move to their positions? If they were there before the Yamainu got there, how did they know they'd walk through that exact spot? This kind of stupidity is usually only seen in shows like Tom & Jerry. Quote:
I suppose if you're really nice you could let this go by pulling out the bad animation card, but it was still bad. Quote:
And again, regardless of whether it can be credibly explained or not, it just looked off. They were cheery like they were playing games and it's simply not a reaction you'd expect out of anyone in a situation like that. Quote:
Anyone defending Deen against these accusations is clearly not thinking objectively. |

As seen with the slight glimpse of the surroundings, the yamainu were in the deep forest. There isn't any improbability for them to not notice kids who crawl around the dense bushes. And seriously, consdering how they are obviously not taking precaution with their advance and attire, there are much chances for keiichi and rena to see them from afar than the reversed ways. Quote:
Again, the psychological card might be "convenient", but it is actually effective in reality as well: you are facing an angry yakuza armed with a shotgun loaded with SLUGS. The guy barged all of a sudden and knocked your only ally... I don't think you can obviously have the "instinct" to open fire as if nothing happened. Quote:
As shown in Minagoroshi-hen, they didn't have much stress and all fighting the 4 yamainu, despite they risked their life. It is only after Keiichi was shot down that the Harsh reality knocked them. Considering each of their personality, it isn't even surprising that they are acting as it was like an afterschool activity. Quote:

The Yamainu are just another club game game to them. Like how the dual with Rena was a club game to Keiichi.
