Now, if you also have read the VN and say that Rika did try to ask Hanyuu to follow Tomitake on the Wata-night, I will reconsider my comment.

It is aptly named Argument from ignorance

lol this is nostalgic. What if I invoke this to that?
Have to say though, I never really thought about it before. Did Rika in fact ever asked Hanyu to follow the victims around? I actually don't know since I haven't read the original game (I did just bought them off steam during a sale a couple months ago but haven't opened them). Though I do have an impression that R07 himself was mocking Higurashi when I played through Umineko.

EP.11
Ok.......It's totally Minagoroshi now. Only real different is....that Oishi at the end. Come to think of it, he's not on the good team with K1 and co this time. The thought of how can things go horribly wrong after this ep. scares me. I wish they will manage to save Satoko just like the original but the real twist comes when Rika moves on to deal with Takano and Yamainu.

Ah, the drawn out "battle" with the child protection center. How nostalgic. It's like watching Kai again but more condensed. That scene where Shion straight up going to kill Teppei but then K1 stopping her and gets a chair to his head really brings back memories  .I sure am glad that they go straight with the Kai route in this Satoko arc and foregoing K1 trying to kill Teppei. The Teppei kill was more in line with the horror premise but the Kai route is the better story. I'm still ready for a twist though.

This is the most boring arc so far. Unlike the others which provided some hints, this one has added nothing as far as I can tell. Still looking forward to the next episode since that's when things go down a completely different path.

Probably the biggest take away here is that Rika appears to finally believe that Keiichi is gaining memories of other shards where tragedies occurred. I think she probably had an idea starting with the first arc that Keiichi was gaining information he shouldn't possess, but here with that look in her eyes before she intervened between Shion and Keiichi with her adult voice she probably already knows that her friends are gaining memories of the other shards (not just Keiichi I assume). She uses her adult voice a lot more in this episode than in previous ones, probably more than those episodes combined, and I'd assume those tears on the bridge were real tears of hope in sorrow.
That said assuming this arc follows the previous two, some of the consistencies of the previous two will likely remain, if not all of them. Satoko will likely still end up dead in some way beside the body of at least one of the friend group (Rean this time?), Takano will get chased off, Rika and most of the other friends still die by someone's hand, and the village will end up surviving with Keiichi put in a time skip situation. Since this is still a question arc (?), this is still going to be a bad end in some form. With the village's survival being intricately linked to Takano's presence it is unlikely that these two would occur independently of each other. If the village survives, a bad end necessitates that one or more of the friends die. It might not be Satoko again, but she did die in similar circumstances in the previous two, so who's to say that saving her from her uncle allows her to survive. Either the village gets destroyed meaning Takano isn't chased off during the festival, or the village survives but friend group is killed again and Satoko still dies in the same manner regardless of the Teppei outcome.

episode 11 is the tipping point for me. Show has started to become boring.. drop if nothing good happens on the next 2 or 3 eps. Or perhaps I'm just a twisted person for wanting more horror, and less of "let's all work together to solve the problem peacefully" kind of thing.

Yeah, while I'll probably continue to watch (honestly nothing better to do), I can't deny that it's a little too close to the original. At the very least we need either the end of this arc or the beginning of the next to provide some clues about what's making things end differently this time. Either way, for now I just want to see Teppei get brutally slaughtered. I honestly hope that Satoko's already killed him. We've seen in the Question arc that she can and will continue to be traumatized even if he's dead, and it would give a deeper meaning behind her unwillingness to move back in with Rika: there could be evidence in the house so she has to make sure no one enters.

Meh, I came into Gou with low expectation of just watching a remake of Higurashi (even after the "Gou" reveal) and, so far, the show met my low expectation quite well, for better or worse.
That's enough reason for me to keep following since I came prepared to not expect a lot, just for nostalgia's sake.

@Jan-Poo
I vaguely remember something like this happening somewhere in Kai. Where Keichi stops Shion from doing something violent.. did not expect them to repeat this kind of thing again here in Gou. Perhaps they don't have enough content to fill in the 20+ episodes? __________ @maximilianjenus teenager Rika or the Ushiromiya mansion would have been more interesting than what we're having now imo.

You know... Why the heck did no one mention the breakdown Satoko when they were at child welfare? That alone should be reason enough to get her out of that house within 10 minutes.
Alternatively... Since everyone knows her uncle is actually responsible anyway... Why not just fabricate the evidence...lure the detective there and let one of the girls imitate Satoko's voice shouting for help...? More than enough cause to break open the door and throw her uncle against a wall. Oh and please don't say that be criminal... Two of the kids are Yakuza princesses...
