Well finally got a chance to see this. Poor Rika just can't catch a break . Things are going nicely, she's just trying to enjoy herself after god knows how long of a hellish nightmare.
These worlds come out randomly but this seems way too bizarre. I could see random chance making a couple of these things happen. But for every single good possible thing to happen to the other characters is just weird. Takano not being there is just sending up weird flags. She is always there no matter what other things change. It's just too bad that the OVA episodes are spread out like that. I really want to see the next part now .

Hanyuu was corporeal when she and Rika spoke to Ichirou but incorporeal again afterwards. There's no reason to think she can't switch between the two states at will. |

I just can't help but think that the last scene in Kai (with Frederica and Miyoko) was a big foreshadowing of this, in fact, "Frederica" may have set Rika up the bomb... err... set this whole scenario up just to see Rika's reaction... quite amusing though... what IS Rika going to do about this?
all-in-all, great Episode, I look forward to the next part |

I loved that episode, simply for the reason why I really liked higurashi in the past. It makes the viewer to come up with his/her own theories and compare those with later episodes how close it was true.
Spoiler for warning long post. My thoughts, theories on ep2, and some small spoilers from the episodes before:

It exists. If it didn't then Hifumi would have no reason to be interested in Hinamizawa. It's just that without the Dam War nobody got stressed enough to go L5. |

I think it's better if we just assume that Ep1 has nothing to do with the timeline (it's way too ridiculous to even really occur to begin with), and the reflection is referring to something else that may have played out similarly with Keiichi's... erm... "lil bro"

Didn't Rika mention during Kai that the reason K1 moved to Hinamizawa was because his father saw two little girls playing in a field? Specifically Rika and Hanyuu, therefore suggesting that Hinamizawa was a good (safe) place to raise children (ironic isn't it?). If this event does not happen, K1 doesn't move to Hinamizawa.

Yeah that might be true, but I think then we are forgetting something. First: keep it in mind that the whole Tokyo group always intended to gain a weapon from the whole syndrome.
Spoiler for that scenario:

Spoiler for k1:
Yeah that's also possible. I actually just started to think following that. I was in the impression that multiple things cannot be different in each world, so that's the reason I was assuming that we only need to follow Frederika's interference with Takano, and the result would be pretty much the same as it is now. However! There are no rule which says only one difference can be between Rika's worlds. Or I go even further. What if Frederika interfered with loli 34 in an already different world (the same one we got after the reboot in now), and that's why some things like K1's absence are "normal" here. I mean not the result of anyone's interference, instead it's only the abnormality by chance, random misfortune in which case, -just like in past worlds according to Rika, his parents simply did not move to Hinamizawa here. |

Spoiler for Saikoroshi-hen:
The main reason Tokyo decided to fund that project was that Koizumi felt guilty about not being able to help Hifumi, which is why he tried to redeem himself by supporting Myio. Without him pushing for it Tokyo would have never been interested in that project. The fact that they try to cancel it immediately after Koizumi dies is ample evidence of that. |
