| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Awesome episode, I would almost go as far to say it's been the best of the series. Great way to end it. |

| I never expected the series to end like that, was quite a surprise for me and definately leaves it open for the second series, which ofc we all know has aired now. |
Rubba_Duck said: On contrast, the second series doesn't give a lot of leeway to expand upon, so I dunno how they will manage to stretch things up to a third season without a sort of dissapointment.I never expected the series to end like that, was quite a surprise for me and definately leaves it open for the second series, which ofc we all know has aired now. |

Yeah, was thinking that myself, about how they might leave series 2 open again for number 3. But ive only watched the first two episodes of the second series so far, so i have yet to see how that plays out... |
Rubba_Duck said: I guess I won't spoil you too much then, but needless to say, they'd have to pull back from the ending for it to work. What I'm guessing is that they will go for the alternate Answer Chapter from the PS2 game or they will use the Chapters that feature new characters.Leon-Gun said: On contrast, the second series doesn't give a lot of leeway to expand upon, so I dunno how they will manage to stretch things up to a third season without a sort of dissapointment.

| Really good show in general, I'm going to watch something funny now to wash all the drama and killing out before I start the second series. |

| I was expecting everyone to die, or at least get butchered. This was actually a nice ending, loved the hug :D |
| that was an awesome ending! i LOVED it! hehe. XD can't wait to watch season 2 tomorrow! i'm so excited. XD if only i could watch it now, i'd definitely watch it immediately. XD heheh. lol. XP |
| Something really bothers me alot in this episode! That maggots flowing from Rena's neck is just... ewww! I can't stand it at all! My hairs suddenly stood up! Hahaha! Well, I'm gonna finish Nodame Cantabile first and then watch the latest of the anime I'm currently watching and airing, then start teh Kai. Well, just a question.. At the end of this chapter, it looks like the time has reset, right? As far as I know, I think that the trigger will be Ooishi, and the first one that has been triggered was Keiichi and at teh end killing Mion and Rena. Then the 2nd is Rena, but fortunately she realized her wrongdoings at the EXACT timeplane and the same world. Now at the end, it is Rika-chama who has been triggered. W/c literally means that she would be the one affected and is going to do some wrong things, and must need to realize her wrong doings in order for her to be forgiven, right? How can she be forgiven by her own self since she is the Shrine God?! Arghh... Not good for my mind to think so much! Hahaha! Overall, a really good series. I've enjoyed alot watching it ALL ALONE! 10/10! |
     |
| No. Way. |
 |
| Anyways, about my post earlier?, Just watch KAI. Hahahaha! And it will be answered. LOL! |
|
| i have to say it was an awesome series but i am still confuse with alot of thinks that went in this anime, lets see if second series awsers doesn't confuse me more |

| Oh my Gawd x.x What a thrilling ending, and the fight scene was well made. Finally finished a hell of 26 episodes, and I'd have to say, it was a very nice ending. Not sure if I'm able to hop onto the second season. :D |
 Damnit! Don't die without my permission! |
| Brilliant..that's the least I can say. And that was some good roof fighting :o Though I really wish they kissed... I'm giving this anime 10/10. It made me laugh,it made me cry,it managed to entertain me. Very enjoyable to watch alone at night with the lights out and some crickets crying out in my garden! ^^ Nipah~. I'll move on to Kai soon. |
| Ohhhh!!! I get it!!! This was the solution arc to the first arc!! I'm feel slow ~_~ But that was an awesome episode!!! A good way to end the first season ^__^ Now I really want to see the next one >.< |
     Sig WILL change soon~ |
| Wowww, I loved the ending ! I was expecting, everyone to furgin DIE or something, but yayy, it ended nice. I don't know if I want to watch the second season, I'm so satisfied, what if this feeling is ruined! Hahahaha, time seems to literally be reseting though, doesn't it? Well, from what I believe. && I endlessly love Rena, <3 I'm so glad, she made it, through. I wanted a kiss there, that would've been perfect, but I'm so oh so satisfied, c: NIPAHHHH ! |
 |
| WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!! very very nice ending !!! im with some they shouldve kiss xD LOVE THIS ANIME ITS A MASTERPIECE !!! up to the next season well first dl tho xD uperteway byebye xD Grtz lsumi o(^^)o |
| Born to live Born to die Born to be, crucified Give our souls and take our pride Bleeding for the harder styles Rising up, from the seed Born to change, history From the streets we unleash hell Feel the power, decibel!! d(^.^)b |
| That was very good... It's weird that Rika knows that it's repeating over and over, but what a finale... Unfortunately I think the series will probably go back to the start of June so we don't get to see Keiichi acting as Rena's servant :( lsumi said: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!! very very nice ending !!! im with some they shouldve kiss xD Nah, KeiichixMion much better than KeiichixRena |
 |
| Wow this series was pure craziness literally lol One thing in the ending doesnt make scene, why did time reset again? I mean Rena didnt die and no one else of the main characters did either D: |
| @ traed Go watch the 2nd season, everything will be explained |
     |
| craziness at it's best... |
 My english sucks....i know.... |
| What an epic battle. (Yes it was short but it was damn good.) Also, how heartwarming an end. Even if leaving a little bit unsatisfied feeling and unjust about a few things, it was most certainly most heartwarming. It's only right they make the last one a happy one. I hope to actually know better about the shrine god's curse in the next series. For instance, the Keiichi remembering being suspicious of his friends(with plenty reason, I might add) and then dying. And other events that wouldn't normally be explainable as a chain of events. For instance again, dying only to remember it. It seems to be a multiple realms thing. In fact, those books that were given by Shion and Mion's head family seemed to espouse that. There are still many pieces to put together. So it would be surprising if they didn't have a sequel. I can't wait to see it, too. My explanation is that the shrine god, has created a sort of dimensional pocket, in which he tries to bind the citizens of the town under him, without suspicion. This pocket could be looked at as a star creating gravity, the god's pull on the spiritual world can cause a sort of puddle in the world and spirit world(that which would be the location, hinamizawa), in which these events can happen in sequence. And when Keiichi created a ripple, he was able to remember something from another realm. Even while still being dead in that other realm. I guess I'll find out soon enough. |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| Good Ending... So many questions left to be answered in Hogurashi Kai |
 |
| Wow A happy ending? who'd have thunk it |
 |
| Wow. An unepected turn of events and just when I was starting to think I understood what was gong, time resets again. I thought that since none of the 5 died, that wouldn't happen. Maybe I was right in thinking that it more had to do with their happiness because Rena couldn't be happy since she was going to jail. Or maybe its that whole taking responsibility for one's actions thing, but that doesn't make much sense either. I hope the next season answers my remaining questions. |
| Wow, was it just me or did that last part In the ending where you see an empty street (and after that a water mill) remind you of AIR when she meets the father.... back on topic: Meh, i would have suspected Re(i)na to first pretend to cry, then get the hatchet in his head ^-^ that would have been so appropriate for this show :P |

Smiley26 said: Nah, KeiichixMion much better than KeiichixRena No way. D: Keiichi x Rena FTW! They had more scenes together than Keiichi and Mion did |
| What a great show. I watched like 25 eps in 3 days then I just stopped and finished it like ~25 days later. I gave it a 9 because it was so uncomfortable to watch...Nothing like this around and sometimes just other anime just seems pedestrianish...? Meh, might take me another month to start 2nd one but I hope it ties up everything as I haven't played the games. |
| hmm nice episode but lame ending. I guess I'll start Kai this afternoon |
| men this seies is great all of the kiling the love theinsane friendship it ended quite good whit that naruto like figth im actually impresed that they somehow linked the last one whit the first 5 chapters....diff dimencion LOL i`ll waitt a little bit for the second season whit a funny anime to wash over the blood  |
| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |
| This series was a good choice for Halloween :D (actually, I only watched the last 8 episodes today). Nice end, though it leaves a lot open. Good thing there's the second season to look forward to ^^ |

| This was the most satisfying ending I'd seen in anime! I was expecting for Rena-chan to go all psycho and kill everyone... But amazing ending! She realized her wrongs, unlike Keiichi back in Arc 1. By the way, psycho Raina's still very cute! xD So... There really were Supernatural aspects to this show! I added that tag to this entry in my list. Rika-chan appears to be aware of it too... Very interesting. Also, after watching this last episode, I decided to rate this anime at a 9, from my previous choice of an 8. This episode is my favorite of season 1, too. I start season 2 of this tomorow! I have high expectations as well. ^^ |
| This ending was decent, not as good as some of this anime's intense moments. Giving this anime an 8, because the last arc wasn't that strong and I don't understand things, I like to be able to understand things. |
| While an ending like that would usually be lame, this show passed it off really well, and some I loved this arc (and the Shion one) best. Brilliant show! I need a bit of a breather before Kai though. |

Cero said: They should've kissed instead of hugged :< Index said: I was expecting everyone to die, or at least get butchered. This was actually a nice ending, loved the hug :D I totally agreed that. Anyway, I also expected that every dies. The roof fight was just full of epicness, eventho Kei-chan didnt care the wages, which could cost eithers life. This was second best arc right after Shion's Chapter....Can't wait for Kai :o |
| Great end to a great anime, was absolutely amazing. So excited to start up the next season now. |
| i gave it a four i would've given it a 5 if someone would've told me that i was going to be scarred for life.............. Looking at Rena's neck while she was on the phone :[[[[[[[[[[[ Am i the only one who feels this way ?? ;__;. I cant stop getting the chills,scratching myself or being in disgust with everything I touch/look at |
| Ehh...Ehh!?! I really don't understand anything lol. |
| Um....Good thing season 2 is out....or else I would have to duel someone with a baseball bat. Lol @ the rooftop fight... I guess the pepper spray never came in handy. |
 |
| That was an epic episode. Sure, it didn't really clear up exactly what Oyashiro-sama's Curse was or anything completely, but I'm happy with the results (and there's still one more season). So I'm guessing at this point based on what Rika said that the same month just repeats over and over again. Prophet Rika is pretty creepy, especially with the voice change. It was kinda odd to see the anime end in such a "happy" way, but hey, there're still plenty of mysteries for the second season. |
| Excellent! Fantastic! Magnificent! *standing ovation* |
| Uhm... still a lot of questions unanswered. I, like many others, expected Rena to go bat-shit crazy, but she pulled through o_O Cool ending nontheless, I'm thinking a score of 8 or 9. 8½? lol |
 |
| It has still left me confuzzled. |
O_O |
| It felt like an anticlimax to me. Nothing was really explained and there was no closure/real ending. Was rather disappointed to see that it all began again. I'll probably start watching kai in the next few days and hopefully I can get some answers. |
  |
| Damn ... this ep was epic. Never imagined the voice actor of Nagisa was the same as Rena.. |
