| <strong>THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.</strong><br />---------------------------------------- <br /><br />No naked lap to be run in the handstand position? Otherwise, hilarious episode. I like that they seem to be going at a slower pace than the first season. Sort of want more violence soon, though. |
| I find the pace was a bit slow, but the episode was great anyways. Niipah~ overload in the first part. Loved the little part about Satoko's past and Rika trying to help her. Now that Satoko knows about the fact that Rika might die, i'm guessing she'll try to do something about it... And probably end up killed in the process. Can't wait for the next episode... |
| Not as funny as the last episode, but still great. This is where things will get interesting, looking forward to it. |
 |
| Its an ok episode,although it lacks violence..... |
 |
| It wasn't as funny as the previous one but an ok episode in my book. Though it proved that Satoko is evil, with or without her issues. xD |
    |
| No violence and such but I liked it since it good to see most of the characters being happy and such. Like Rika said, we should enjoy it while it last. And I feel so bad for Rika... |
| nice ep. |

| Well, i guess this season has to be more slow-paced, considering the last two solution arcs will be in Episodes 6-24. Overall, another good episode. |
| Indeed more comedy than the last season, and it explained why Keiichi thought there would be a fight instead of a baseball game. |

| "K"? WTH?! ROTFL and exactly who was rika-chan talking to? XD wait a minute, rika-chan was talking to her other self, right? right? XD |
| Wait, in this time. That Sakoto calling to Keiichi for help, what arc is that from season 1? |
     |
omg nobody noticed that scene??  take a really good look at the picture...cant u notice smt barely seen standing near Rena?smt like an invisible figure??ghost? O_o? |
 I am the bone of my sword.Steel is my body, and fire is my blood. |
| I can see that too! Haha! What's that?! You didn't just edited it, are you?! Well, if not; it's probably Hanyuu!~~ Hauauauauau~! ^^ :3 |
|
| no i didnt edit that photo...its weird...i mean scary xD |
| I am the bone of my sword.Steel is my body, and fire is my blood. |
| Then it's probably Hanyuu!~ |
|
| so, every arch is like repeating time over and over? |

| Funny but kinda serious at the same time o__o And was Rika drinking wine??? Or was that sparkling grape juice or something?? xD |
     Sig WILL change soon~ |

 |
| Just call me, "K", that cracked me up. Especially when that baseball dude' went all "omfgiloveyou" move on Kei, ahahah ! Funny ness <3 I enjoy it while it lasts! Pooorrr Rika, e__e; I'm believing to think, SHE is the one who is TRULY suffering, because she remembers every time she died, and has to undergo every single time, everyone else doesn't remember, she does. <3 Wah, poor adorableness. :( "She was indeed consuming alcohol" XD ! |
 |
| She is gonna die again, so I guess she needed a drink :P |
| oh poor Rika (T_T) i feel so sorry for her |
| So, Furude Hanyuu finally makes an appearance. Yet...not. I had seen her even before I had watched the first season, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. And I thought she was probably going to be my favorite character, because she just looks so mysterious, and majestic, and just well...moe. It's a long time coming, but we finally get to see her.:D Or at least hear her talk in this case. I was always afraid that Furude Hanyuu would be purely the serious and scary side of Furude Rika possessing her, but it appears Furude Rika is the serious one. That's great, I like that better.:D Actually, it would seem they both carry that happy and silly and serious and scary side. Or at least for Furude Rika, we haven't had a chance to see Furude Hanyuu's different sides yet. And it would seem all the seemingly scary sides of Rika were just her protecting her friends anyway. Anyway, it's nice to finally at least get to hear Hanyuu. I'd had been forward to seeing her the whole series. I definitely feel that she's going to fill my expectations and be my favorite higurashi character. Even Rika doesn't seem to have that charm. And Rena is her biggest competitor. Because...who wouldn't want to get taken home by Rena? |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| This season is going pretty sow compared to the last. Kind of on the line of boring and intriguing. Hopefully they're start solving more of the puzzle in the next episode. I think Satoko maybe might be the murderer in this one. She'll probably start to see people differently. Everyone will appear to be a threat to Rika. Because Rika is her best friend and she'd probably do anything to protect her. |
| hmm, one happy episode a time is enough.. Its funny, but I just want to see creepyness too, no blood shed yet.. |
| ~Hauu It so reminds me of Ayu's ~Auu from Kanon! Yui Horie is even the voice actor of both Ayu and Hanyuu Furude! ~Hauu Hmm I don't think even Nagato Yuki can survive Rika-chan's ordeal... Rika experiences grief and murder alot, even Yuki would go insane or have break down from it. This Hanyuu Furude seems like very cute and moe character... And I think she's Oyashiro's true reincarnation/form... And I have NOT seens any spoilers from these series, I avoid them in most cases anyways... |
| so the pitcher was a lolicon who took his frustration out on cake? thats a little weird |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| Hmmm I'm interested to see what happens to Satoko if she tries to save Rika. Pretty funny in the beginning as well. |
| I feel really feel bad for Rika, having to put on her facade like that. I also just realized that someone is always chopping something up during mealtime (Rika, Satoko for breakfast, dinner, etc.). ie: *chop chop chop* Breakfast is ready *chop chop chop* Some forboding stuff too with what will happen if Rika tells someone. Sigh I feel so bad for Rika, once again. She's becoming a tragic heroine. Whenever she turns "dark" here eyes seem so sad. |
| I liked the under the table between Keiichi and the pitcher. And poor Satoko and Rika, it's a tragic feeling. |

This is what I was thinking, Sure it was awhile ago but I remember the first series to be.. a little bit more .. thought worthy |
    |
| the stuff with the pitcher and his love for sweets was totally crazy,but I laughed, the trap game with the holes was funny as hell, too. the Rika part was interesting, its cool when she talks with the bad ass voice I can't wait to see the new character ; D |

| Who is the one killing rika? is someone different every time? Rika, Takano, and Tomitake always die, so my theory is that she won't die if the others don't die. I guess this is what she says would be "peaceful." Either way, most of the story fits together so far. It's slow, but it is a 24 episode series, so it will eventually pick up in the middle or near the end. |
 |
| Cute episode. Keiichi's speech was kind of epic. Although... I really want to see some slaughtering going on. |

Yeah that part made me laugh as well, especially when Keiichi said "Men are supposed to be perverts" xD (I will keep that in mind ;)) Feel sad for Rika, must be very hard to relive those moments over and over and remember everything, especially since she dies every time =/ |
| no episode of higurashi is boring... |

| Rika's part is really really good, it must be so painful for her knowing what's going to happen. and she's searching for new Hinamizawa over and over. ... i wonder would Satoko do something or is it really nothing to make to help Rika. |
| Good episode, but I want to know which is the person that Rika is talking with |
| lol great episode :D the baseball scene was just too epic xD...Keiichi wanted to play baseball with a golf club xD and the scene with the baseball player was too funny xD Satoko/Keiichi and Rena all have chances to get into my top10...especially satoko,she's too cute and awesome :p 5/5 |
Sayonara,papa! "Just how a mirror reflects you,people will also reflect your heart." ~Athena Glory,Aria "Whatever happens,happens" ~Spike Spiegel's thoughts on dying(Cowboy Bebop) |
| Epic speech of Keichii, though it is about time the violence starts again xD Still an entertaining episode |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| This. episode. was hilarious. :D I'm glad we got a breather from the vilence from a truely funny episode. |

This is my first experience with this story so I don't know for sure who it is... |
| Nipah~ overload. Best part was "K" otherwise boring episode. It does build a bit of suspense near the end though. That "ghost" picture is kinda creepy.... |
 |
| Double-personality Rika is pure win <3 ! |
| This tone is so depressing, I hope this series doesn't have a sad ending for Rika, she's my fave character |
| Why is the pace so slow??? Obviously, they want to build up the tension but STOP the meaningless stories!It's about time we go some answers.. Apparently, Rika gets killed again nad again, but we don't know by whom and why..If I'm thinking right, this time Rika's murder won't be the "usual"..Perhaps, something will happen and lead to the catastrophe in the village..Just thoughts, though.. |

kage-bunshin said: so the pitcher was a lolicon who took his frustration out on cake? thats a little weird LMAO. I thought so, too! But don't you know? According to Keichii, "All men are perverts!" XD I just can't eat fluffy, cute desserts the same ever again...! XDDD I don't really care for Satoko, but this episode made me feel for her. Just by everyone in the village acting like she was invisible until Rika steps in and then everyone caters to her because she's the head of the Furude family. Ugh. It really pissed me off. But now I can see why they work so well together and why Satoko kind of needs to be with Rika. I like how that was pieced together nicely. :3 I, too, am enjoying double personality Rika. I love the switch from her sweet perky voice to a darker, deeper one. :3 And LOL @ next episode preview. Sign me up! XD |
