THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Nice episode, K1 once again shows his charisma and natural leadership. With the support of the Kimiyoshi and Sonozaki families behind them, the group finally gets the child welfare agency to listen to their request, but will that be enough if Satoko still denies the claims of abuse? Next up, Satoko's stuff is done and the bad guy finally reveals itself.

You will be spoiled... guaranteed! I saw it, and I call it The Art of Spoiling a Series in 59 Seconds.

Of course that only goes for people who don't know what's going to happen next.

I went crazy looking for this episode to stream. xD I think I checked Veoh and Crunchyroll every half hour to see if it was up...then had to endure the painfully crappy sound quality of Crunchyroll. But it was worth it~

Poor Satoko. ;-;
I wanted to give Teppei a swift kick in the nuts for abusing Satoko like that.

Lol, translations sure are different. But anyway, after going through all that stuff of season 1, that woman most probably has a lot of skeletons in her closet. Or in her well. In any case, better not mess with her ^^. ... more points for Keiichi.

Keiichi did just win at live~ :>
but at the scene where mions/shions mother and the other person (just can't remember what his function is >_>') came to Keiichi and the rest and said onibaba would approve it. I'd thought for a second those two had murdered her to get the approval XD

Sigh, if only the first season was directed this well, this season follows the original games style perfectly, then, this show wouldnt have such a reputation as "battle lolis" in fact, i doubt it would be considered loli at all... well, we can hope for OVA remakes... xD

The confrontation between Onibaba and Keiichi was awesome, especially when Onibaba started threating to kill him and when Keiichi said Mion's dad looked like a mob boss and he replied with "I am a mob boss." Might this chapter have a happy ending after all? Probably not but I can't wait to see it anyway.

It was decent. I liked finally seeing the council and Sonozaki family show a little heart. It was annoying me though to see basically the whole town join together to help Satoko, but yet they don't just take the direct approach and ban Satoko's uncle from the village or something.

Oh god a cliffhanger.

I'm still worried about Satoko.;_;
I know that guy is more of an asshole than crazy, but still., anything is possible.
Everything is going so well so far and I'm just tense and waiting for something to REALLY go wrong.

This is only part of the way into this series and called MASSACRE and everything has gone wrong so far. Except for like the last few episodes of the last and something had to go mess them up as well. I'm scared. I'm scared. I want things to go good, and they feel so right. But my better part of me knows better and keeps telling me. Oh God what are you gonna do to my mind Higurashi?;_;

So not only do we have the friends and school banding together, but now the whole town as well. ... I really will hate to see how things go wrong in this arc :( I'm guessing everything will be the fault of Satoko's bastard uncle ...

Also, Mion and Shion's mother is pretty awesome.

Shion's granny just got a better impression from me (Shion's mom too).

Satoko should have ran away knowing that her uncle abuses her. Just because of protecting her nii nii's room she goes crazy and creates such a huge commotion in the village... whats worst is im so tired of listening to her screams. Its so annoying! Plz stand up for you own rights and do something and not cry cry cry!

She probably has the "parasite" sickness at a very unstable condition such that she need the drug each day. She has delusions, so she can't act rationally...

I finally got what is missing in this arc and why many people are complaining for the lack of blood and killings. Suspense. That's what's missing in this arc; there hasn't been nearly as much as in the first season. Suspense and thriller are what people are missing.

I dont really know why but i really enjoyed this episode. How depressed the chairman was after the mayor had called him ^^
But I almost had to cry when Satoko got hit by her uncle :/
So far this arc really works out great, and that is why the suspense is contantly rising. Every minute now I except now justification for the title of the arc, and that would be a massacre...
ON to the next episode !
I probably regret this post by now.

Keiichi sure can give a nice speech.

It was nice seeing that the council have a heart.

Did Keiichi really say that? Baka! Holy shit.. Oryou gave them the ok.

Wow.. Oryou has come to like Keiichi.

It is Higarushi. Season 1's horrible pacing and extreme elimination of scenes was what turned it into a loli-killing affair. But the Kai arcs of Higurashi are about defeating fate. The end of season1 showed this tendency.
