 |
| This was a really interesting episode. It evidently served mostly to present information about the world Rika is in, but it made it was some pretty good build-up for what is to come. I have high expectations for this arc |
  |
| Seems like Rika found herself in the most boring world. Well, that doesn't mean this episode was boring. It was actually pretty nice. WTF's going on? :3 |
| i know... XD damn wheres the third episode? T____T |
 |
| At least it got a bit creepy (Rena's scary face ftw! ^^).....the first episode made me almost cry, because of otaku-pleasing moe shit (What the hell with "Keichii's little brother?!").... hope it'll get a bit more violent in the next eps..... |
 Take a look at the world and laugh. -Januzs Korczak |
| whoa, I was missing all that mindscrew! xD but seriously, I'm really confused on this one, lots of strange stuff I wasn't expecting. Also, Rena face FTW! her face was ok, what scared me was her voice xP I was sad when that truck came in, really. All those months watching the 1st and 2nd seasons, getting to know the story, and now some random truck kills her owo. |
| Could anyone provide a download/torrent link, or at least a site where I can find it? (But not Tokyosho, got problems with the page...) |
| Yes! That's more like the Higurashi I remember. Interesting approach to the initial story. Rena was awesome again. =D Looking forward to the next episode.

| I think Rika diead in that accident and the new world lacks only one thing... the Hinamizawa-syndrome... After all, the dam building lasted due to agression, Satoko's family was torn apart from that, Takano's father was researching it, Reina's family problems were of that as well... If you think about it, it is almost 100% sure that that's the only part, which they took out... Meaning the only person left alone will be Rika |
| Oh snap, no Takano, no Irie, no Keiichi, no Dam war, no Oyashiro-sama's curse, no Hinamizawa syndrome, Satoko and Rika are not friends, Satoshi is still around, Reina never changed her name, Tokyo never conducted research, its a year after everything that was supposed to happen happened (but it never happened!!!) Yet the mutilated corpse incident raises a stir with Reina when mentioned... Also it looks like Rika's parents are still around too. I thought I noticed that in the preview. This should be an interesting series, to be continued over summer break! |
| crazy ep rika in a world with no incidents thats crazy and how she get hit by a truck so easy thats lame and y is satoshi in the world and not keichi??? |
 |
ro said: y is satoshi in the world and not keichi??? That's because in this world, satoshi didn't go crazy from the Hinamizawa-syndrome, thus he wasn't taken away by Takano (who in the first place wasn't there to take him away)... About that covers it, I think... |
| Danm i was realy suprised by this ova after first one omg the higurashi atmosphere is back yay..Looking forward for next ova |
| Interesting episode with a really strange world. Keiichi, Takano, Okonogi and Irie are not there, Satoshi is there, Satoko and Rika are not friends, the dam is built, Rena is Reina... wtf. Finally when Rika found her peace in Matsuribayashi-hen, she is confronted with that. Re(i)na's Hinamizawa snydrome moment at the end was scaa~ry, it had much more impact on me than in the other episodes of Higurashi. I find it also kind of disturbing that Hanyuu did not appear. Perhaps because the people even believe less in Oyashiro-sama since the chain of murders did not happen and it weakend her even more? |

Why did I have to just click this, why? This better turn out to be an anti-spoiler. And I'd better start learning not be idiotic enough to read spoilers. |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |

That's really pathetic :/ |
 |
| Fucking adorable Rena scared the crap out of me with my volume all loud. I didn't expect Higurashi to scare me anymore since I saw it back when I was younger, but I was proven wrong. This is interesting indeed, ironically the peaceful world is just wrong as well. Rika was so adorable as usual, I love it when speaks in her older form. More more more! |
 |
| I think Rika is the one that's going to snap in this world..... |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| This anime is too awsome. but Rika is clueless about this world and im starting to be too. x_x and 3 main characters are missing. can't wait to see how this turns out. |
     |
| Man, a Hinamizawa without Irie, Takano and Keiichi? What a boring place! Also, an incredibly submissive Hinamizawa. So when Rena turned around all murderous, was that an illusion or real? oooh, interesting. |
     |
| Interesting turn of event, so Rika is now in a completely different version of Hinamizawa without all the freaky events. Wonder how/if she will be able to get back. |
| "MUTILATED BODY INCIDENT?!" My reaction? "OH SH_T!!" xD Roflmao that really caught me off guard. |
     |
| Isnt this related to the end of Kai when big rika talk to small miyo? XD |
| Well this episode was weird... :/ I was expecting more fan service, but this is better. Poor Rika she is really having rough time... Well I hope it gets cleared out in next episode, I don't want to see her be more in paranoia. This world where nothing happens could be shocking for any of us if we know just one dangerous life we had, but Rika experienced it thousands of times, so I kinda feel her pain too... TT.TT As for Reina, man she freaked me out... |
| I liked this episode, rena's creepy face out of nowhere after speaking so casually and nicely had impact.. What an idiot rika, after working sooooo hard you just had to go get killed by a truck =.=U.. I love higurashi <3 i wish there was more... ahwell i hope ookami kakushi is just as good. Umineko was cool but it wasnt the same thing as higurashi if you know what i mean.. |
 |
| After struggling so hard to live in Kai, she died in a freaking accident here?! Ah the cruelties of fate. I was startled by Rena's reaction to the mutilated corpse incident. Maybe it's a hint. |
| Awesome turn of events! My face look like Rika's face now -> O_O Higurashi still scare xD |
| after all that painful experience Rika died in carr accident?!?!/1 O______O Rena was weird when she suddenly shouted, that reminded mi or Higurashi no naku koro ni's first arc a little. what a weird world, everything is other, Rika's parents are still alive ? and HOW THE HELL they agreed to this dike ? and yeah, it seem to have no true-friends for Rika now.... i want to see #3 now ! ;d |
| Plot kicked in and will end in two more episodes... @Kanon-kun: loving your avatar :D |
| Dunno whats going on here Oo But Re(i)na seems to be a bit crazy in this episode, I wonder why... Definitely liked this episode :D |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| omg....this girl can't stay alive for **** O.o when you go through this infinite nightmare and manage to cet out of this crazy loop,at least walk on your god damn lane when you're riding a bike O.o this was plain dumb,and it annoyed the hell out of me xD i fail to see wth s so perfect about this world,there's no keiichi,no irie,okonogi :(,everything will be flooded in a year,rika looks lonely like hell,and ofcourse she doesn't get along with satoko :( i hate this world,sorry : 5/5 for the interesting concept though :)...although i am very pissed that rika has to go through her loop again :( |

| My question is, where the hell is Hanyuu? |
| What the ... ? Ok so this season takes place between the first and Kai ? Then why does she know about Takano ? Why did she say " to enjoy her life now" ? |
| Wow..This arc is really interesting..And it has been a while since i saw Rena's crazy face..Still scary..I wonder what will happen.. |
 |
| What a seemingly peaceful world. Satoko and Rika not being friends is odd. Rena's face just scared the hell out of me because it was unexpected. O_O |
| I can tell I'm going to love this OVA. Haha I know because of Rena reaction about the "mutilated corpse incident." I got a kick out of that. |
 |
| DO NOT WANT. Give back the old world full of tragedies please! TT__TT I don't really care about Satoshi, but I want my Irie and Keiichi! ;___; |
 |
| Now what is going on? Omg I guess I will just have to keep watching |
| Wow that was a really stupid way to die. This should get mind blowing real soon. Looking forward to it Keichii-kun....? not there? WHAT SICK, TWISTED, WORLD IS THIS?! D8 |

| This is definitely an interesting plot-line to follow, what with the fact the dam is actually going to built. I find it weird we haven't seen Hanyuu yet but I assume that has something to do with this alternative world Rika finds herself in. |
 |
| yay suspense arc Ironic how as soon as Rika gets cocky, she gets hit by a car and everything resets. hmm the prospect of a different world is certainly interesting I wonder what that last bit meant, where "Reina" gets all alarmed |
 |
| Wow this is way different than the first episode with fan service and silliness. Looks this short third season is worth watching! |
 |
| I think shes going to commit suicide to get into another reality. Even if theres no enemy to fight, and it is technically a "perfect" world, Keichi is not there, Rika is not friends with Satako, and Hinamizawa is going to be flooded. I would not be happy with a world like that. |
