Ninja edit: Our translator actually is a native, too, and swears up and down he hears it as "no blood"... oh well. If "That's it, that's it" is what the game says, that's what it'll be. Any chance you'd be interested in helping translate for us, or quality-check for things like that? Shameless advertising, I know, but for a good cause... toss me a PM here, or on our IRC channel (#windfs on irc.rizon.net) if you're interested. Last edited by Sir Alex; 2006-05-20 at 22:28. |

A very good episode though I still consider the first episode to be the scariest episode of the series and the most intriguing. Mion's line makes sense now with kj's correction. She pretty much was justifying to herself for the horrible things she has done, so that line was needed to be said over and over to convince herself that the circumastances forced her to those horrible acts and were necessary to carry out her duty.
I liked Rika even if her role in this series didn't exceed a minute of air time, so I'm a bit saddened by her disappearance (who else thinks she, along with Shion, was eaten? ). I think it was harder for Mion to deliver judgment on Rika than Shion (probably because of jealousy) which, sort of, would explain of her loosing control in such way in the ladder-scene. In an end note, excellent typesetting/styling by Wind on the color change of the words "no blood" which added significance to the repeated utterance of those words. Nice touch. Keep it up. edit: fixed! thanks to DingoEnderZOE2.

It felt like Rena got a personality transplant, as if she was a different person. Which I was a bit put of by this. Her Sherlock Mode eerily resembled how Shinichi explains a crime in Detective Conan. Mai Nakahara sounded like she was doing a different character. Rena also didn't have her super cute demeanor. She barely said "...kana? kana?" in this episode. If this is Rena's serious side, I’ll have to get used to it and let it grow on me. However- Quote:

Mion's "no blood plz!1" scene made me laugh while holding my chair. What a twist of emotions in one single scene... One more point to Higurashi.
Overall, this episode just threw more coal in the fire, because now I have absolutely no idea if Keiichi is talking to Mion or to Shion, and that completely screwed ALL of my hipothesys and such of what's happening. I also wonder if Keiichi was talking to Mion, and not to Shion, in the end of Episode 6. Well, aside from that, a good and great 9/10 for this episode. It just isn't perfect because; 1. I don't like to see Mion (Shion?) higly deformed. And 2. Rena didn't sound like her. |

I guess spending your free time looking for buried Kenta-kuns (needle) in mountains of trash (haystack) really trains up your ability at spotting tiny details. Quote:

Hrm, I gave it a ten, but I didn't even really think of the ladder scene one way or the other. I should have deducted a point for that, I guess.
The rest of this episode had such a huge impact though, it's hard for me to fault the one scene. I actually thought this episode explained a LOT about Rena and the last arc. For instance, I had been assuming that all of Rena's super-knowledge in the last arc indicated some kind of Oyashiro possession, now I realize that she's really just that observant.

Am I really the only one who thinks the distorted character design during the ladder scene was a good thing? Everyone seems to dislike it... I thought it really added to the psychotic feeling of the scene.
Anyway, yeah, this episode showed, among other things, that Rena has the eyes of a hawk. That's why she noticed everything in Onikakushi-hen, she could beat Oishi at detective work. Of course, did anyone else notice that Mion's eyes didn't go slit-like when she freaked out? I do believe that's a hint, folks. |

The distorted contortion face part I actually liked, except it seemed a little on the static side.

Gah. Twins are just creepy. Each time one of them appeared, I was wondering whether she was really the one she claimed to be. And then I find out that Shion is missing. Or... one of them is missing. At the moment I do think that it's Shion who's missing, and Mion has been pretending to be her. I don't have any great ideas about why though.
In fact, I don't have any theories about what was going on right now. Watching it just before I went to sleep at 3am was good for atmosphere (especially during the part with the ladder), but not great for puzzling the whole thing out. A rewatch is called for A.S.A.P. Overall I actually found it to be the creepiest episode so far, and... Quote:
About Mion's (or Shion's... no way to be sure, at least not that I've noticed) face in the ladder scene. It didn't bother me too much, but I think maybe that's because I was too busy saying "What the bloody hell?!" to myself and being creeped out. It was a bit odd though, and I think it's going to bother me a bit when I see it again. There were no real downsides to the episode besides that, at least in my opinion, so I'm giving it a solid 9. I was hovering between 8 and 9, but the pure "WTF-factor" of Shion's (or Mion's ) disappearance merited the extra point from me. |
