Higurashi Kai Episode 23 Discussion / Poll

[Rias]

There are some good parts and some bad parts in this epsiode, let's talk about the good first:

-Kasai scene, both when kicking ass and when realized that he made a mistake.
-Tears from Satoshi before scene change
-Hanyuu + K voice


As for the bad...

-Art quality has gone down again...most noteworthy one is Hanyuu's face and body when Satoko was bragging about Keiichi
-BGM, but that's nothing new.
-Keiichi + Rena "Yay!". What is this, a gag anime?
-Takano seducing Tomi. Kinda knew it wasn't going to be in.
-Maid in Heaven. Where did it go?

Overall I guess it's an alright episode.

For some reason it made me want to vomit.

I don't the anime had ever touched on Maid in Heaven so I didn't expect it would have show up

[Klashikari]

The anime did, though they didn't go deep enough to mention "MAID HEAVEN".
But they surely have shown the fetish, unlike Chie's uncanny obsession with curry... (at least, she wasn't completely shafted like Ciel, who ate spaghetti in Shingetsutan -__-)

[LuckyCat]

The Shion scene was great. Hurry up and cure the man, Irie!

There were a few silly scenes I could do without like the log rolling:

Spoiler:

[MarthX]

It's log, it's log, it's big, it's heavy, it's wood.

[Sterling01]

One thing how did they get those logs set up?

Are you ascertaining that these kids don't posses the strength to cut down so many logs or be able to launch them like that at the enemy? /sarcasm.

Enjoy the rest of the end of the series, I look forward to the conclusion.

オシマイ just means "end," I believe. Fitting, obviously, though

Spoiler for preview:

again with the spoiling in the preview...such a cliffhanger, ne?

[Ice Climbers]

I wonder if they are going to put that arc in which Rika goes insane in as a bonus/OVA??

Anyways, still looking to see this

[Nemesis Zone]

its really sad thing this forum is gonna move after 1 episode

this time i hope happy ending

when the epsode i out subbed Emglish i will see it

[Ottocycle]

Horie Yui=Goddess.

That is all.

[SirusRiddler]

These last few episodes have been bringing out the GAR out of everyone. xD Kasai is so friggin awesome!

Judging by the preview however...the next episode doesn't seem nearly as intense. In fact, it looks like a very passive end to the whole ordeal. Hopefully, I'm wrong about that. :/ Speaking of preview...finally a better look at the upcoming movie in the special episode?

[Deathkillz]

kasai you fricking legend! XD

Spoiler:

Next to tomitake SMASH...his shotgun is the best XD

Dam irony that he even managed to kill any form of communication

Satoshi is still alive (yay!) but not in the best of shapes (boo!) - poor shion ;_;

okonogi and his military tactics got owned XD his pride must be completely smashed...

But then comes the cliffhanger ending - this is going to be a bumpy ride O.O

I am actually being indifferent to the Satoshi's scene. Maybe it is because I was expecting worse, or maybe the music and dialogue didn't convey enough feeling? I like the bear however, it suits the mood perfectly.

On the other hand, the fight scene in the mountain is unrealistic. Firstly, how can they not figured out that's Keichi's voice? Why didn't they notice the difference between voices of some teenager and of their group members?

Secondly, being a professional agents, they cannot even spot traps? It is excusable for the first 10 minutes or so because they underestimated the traps, but when they are being cautious, how could they not notice the pure white dress and hat of Rena standing so close to them, or the red shirt of Keiichi? And geez, why are the kids still wear the same bright clothings instead of camouflage in a mountain? They are asking to be shot!

studio deen is too stiff , i think what the writer didnt do as it was a visual novel the anime followed

I think the curry thing was mentioned in a conversation with okonogi in episode 24 of the first series, along the lines of "It's hot today." "Yes, but on a hot day, curry is good." "Is that so?"

[harukamae]

LOL the preview was amusing, I can't wait for live action Higurashi next year.

But of course it could never touch the artistic masterpiece that is Higurashi Ga Naku Koro ni. Not even Ryuu-chan himself could out do that and y'all know it. :-)

In the mean time it sucks that next week is last episode...oh well, hopefully they rerelease Matsuri soon so I can play Miotsukushi-hen...

[Sterling01]

The new Matsuri is coming out the 20th

Also I have a really bad felling that Higurashi Ga Naku Koro ni is going to be better then live action Higurashi movie

[MarthX]

Not possible.

All the lines were mumbled. There was no enthusiasm or emotion.
