A lot of Hanyuu's 'hauauaua' and Rena's 'omochikaaeri' 'uso da!' = good episode even if it was just comedy like the first.

This was the only episode of Rei that I actually enjoyed, to be honest. The first one was exceedingly lame, and the middle ones were downright boring save for a few select scenes. This final episode was just hilarious, though.


Exactly how I feel. Is it wrong that I love to see Satoko get beat up? It's just funny.

Oh, this is bad, these 5 episodes were much better than the 50 previous ones ^^;
Probably due to the fact that it didn't focus on the (in my opinion) failed mystery-shizz as the first and second seasons did.
Thoroughly entertaining, this was.
Not to mention this part:

That was awesome : >

This series shouldn't have even been made. It was unnecessary. Kai was the perfect ending, but this ruins it. It doesn't even feel like Higurashi. Didn't hate it though, it was good at moments... I still would have preferred the ending to be Kai.

Eh, it doesn't really change anything so I don't see how it makes much of a difference. I think this was just meant to be entertaining by subverting the well established image we had of all the characters. And it did that pretty well.

To see the Yamainu in scuba gear trying to take Keichi's trunks or Takano attacking him with syringes or Rena going yangire for ridiculous reasons is funnier than any typical comedy because you know the background.

I love Rena when she is infatuated with someone and how she always says that he wants to take it home. I also found it interesting that Rena convinced Takano to be a lesbian; that was a little unexpected.

Well it was certainly better than the horrid first episode, Rena certainly made me smile in parts here so its an acceptable ep by itself. Not how I'd want to end the Higurashi series though, with either a joke episode or an "it was all a dream" arc. Oh well... I have the 2 seasons to remember anyway :)

Damn....kind of sucks that Rena is now in between their relationship. :)

This Rei season ends the Higurashi franchise like the Haruhi Suzumiya movie. Kyon and Rika choosing their world. I'd make the same choice in their position too.

Because those two episodes are total fanservice, comedic episodes. Takano is a significant character in the series, and one of such can't be excluded in a bikini exhibit or a yuri moment.

USO DA USO DA USO DAAAAAAAAAA

xD I love it when the creators of these things take note to what the fanbase does.

Well, that's it? I guess there is Higurashi Kira. But it won't be as epic as anything thus far. :[ I suppose a season of episodes like the 1st OVA in Rei can't be too bad. Besides, they've basically squeezed everything they could out of that plot line. To add more actual plot would probably mess with everything - reason why shows like Cowboy Bebop and Evangelion don't have another Season. Don't mess with perfection, right?

Although I'd probably give Rei a 9/10 instead of 10/10.

I thought Higurashi was a great Series(:
I really liked The first season,Then it kind of got weird in Kai,
But I really really liked it(: One of my favorites.
I think this was a cute way to end it all(: I do think though that it would have been nice to see more romance. But I am content.(:

8/10 for me :)

awesome!!

it's a nice change of pace, though i still think they should have aired this as episode 2 should have been 3 onwards.

basically the episode 4 should have been the last.

would have ended it in a high note IMO.

nice fanservice!!!

Reina is soo sexy when she's seductive :P



lol takano being jelous XD



Takano and Reina Together AT LAST!!!!!!!

i like how Miyo said to Reina "let's bring the Oyashiro-sama's curse together"

or "let's thoroughly invistigate this treasure"

lol



damn Reina beating everyone up!!!











and uwaaa Reina's bubbly face is cute!!!!!





and wow Reina confessing to Kenichi!!!!!



and wow Rika is jealous too XD



i will not be surprised on what they see :P












lol Rika is soo cruel!!!!



amazing episode, sure we could have use more of episodes 2-4 or even season 1/2 but i think this is good to.

i hope 07th expansion makes season 3. i read there's alot of visual novel games that weren't animated yet.

plus more Higueashi is always fucking good!!!!!

9/10 just because i like it :P

she does it to torture hanyuu because their senses are linked....so if she eats something really spicy hanyuu would react to it too.....

In episode 1 of Kai, it's a continuation of Tsumihoroboshi-hen. About Miyo being friendly to everyone, I believe yes that she's forgiven and realized her own mistakes.

I was dissapointed with this Daybreak episode; I was expecting a chaotic mass brawl but it turned out to be very linear and tedious- and ironically involving almost zero weaponry. The production committee should've switched the emphases of fighting from EP1 and tactics (albeit lowbrow ones) from EP5 around and they would've been more funny and more canonical.

Regarding the Killing Dice arc it was plodding- and contrived but it was justified in the twist- but adequate as an epilogue which was frankly needed given how Kai abruptly finished.
