Higurashi Episode 21 Discussion / Poll

Mion probably originally thought Shion had hard evidence that Satoshi was really killed by the Sonozaki Family. If the Sonozaki family did kill Satoshi, he would be in the well. Shion's sudden attack scared and confused Mion. Mion began doubting herself about Oryou's words as Mion also originally thought Onibaba order the killing of Satoshi. As the days progressed Mion began to realize that this was all misunderstanding because of the Bluff. Mion isn't a very strong person. She does doubt herself a lot under that guise of being the Leader. ^^

I've some reasons to think I know why ep21's last is such as,
and why Meakashi-hen is *great*.

Spoiler for What suggested reasons to me...:

「間に合ったー！」
("I'd done in TIME!")
in Watanagashi-hen.

Wow, that answered alot of questions, between the arc itself, and many of the posts of those in here, including that bit that was skipped

Spoiler for twins:

About Mion and Shion switching names/identities some time in the past

I'm of the opinion that Keiichi was probably hallucinating being attacked at the hospital.

Not bad, Shio sure is climbing on my most hated character list ever. Surely into the top 5 after this episode.
She has gone from a little crazy, to insane and now just pure evil.
No an ounce of good left in her. Just have wanted her to die the last few episodes honestly. No defense, exuses for what she has been doing.

Spoiler for episode:

Best moment in he series so far when Shio falls down and breaks her neck. Horrible "creature"

Spoiler for Meakashi Spoilers:

Well personally, I didn't like the episode nor the other few, most because of the inaccuracy from the Manga and how much was left out. Yes, Manga's are always better and go more into Detail.... but I feel that with everything that was narrated in Meakashi-hen in the manga should have drifted into the anime. I felt like It would have brought a better feel to it, if you know what I mean.

Also, the inaccuracy really disappointed me being that I almost worship Shion and seeing the characters so awkwardly portrayed and just... ugh... It's upsetting really. They made her out to be too much of a psycho killer, versus the Shion in the Manga who wanted to rid of everyone who brought down Satoshi/Got in her way.

But what really upsetted me was the fact that they didn't focus on the Shion/Mion switch up in the anime. ( How Shion was actually Mion and Mion was Shion but during a switch Mion (( Who is really Shion)) Gets the tattoo and is now permanently Mion and then Shion (( Who was the Real Mion)) Is forever Shion. Would just have loved to have seen that explained in the anime.

Oh and lets not forget how they COMPLETELY Ignore the fact that Shion COMMITTED SUICIDE! If you read the end of Meak, she throws herself off the patio that she slipped and fell on.

Overall... Manga kicked the anime's butt.. So disappointed in it -__-
