Faust721 said: Great episode. jobocan pretty much said everthing i wanted to say. Rena using her "Anti-pubescent male hardening magic" was just awesome. Looking forward to the next episode. This Although this episode didn't really explain anything, I guess it was just a refresh of what happened before? |

| Pretty boring episode..If i wanted happy school life, i wouldn't be watching Higurashi.. Although, it seems like the thing about parallel worlds, or whatever it is, truly exists.. |
 |
| Rika remembers events from previous worlds? and Keiichi's swan is awesome! I lol'd at Dr. Irie |
| Yes, after a very serious, thought provoking episode, we get an awesomely hilarious one like this. I just thought the comedy relief episodes were just kind of silly and amusing and did kind of bring a smile to my face in the first season, but this episode really made me laugh and appreciate these kinds of episodes. Zombie tag is awesome, it made me want to play it myself! XD "Anti-pubescent male hardening magic!" and the rumors about Keichii were freaking hilarious. I was laughing so hard! XDDD I didn't know how to feel with the series beginning to shift towards Rika, but I liked her opening narration and how the shift is going to how she views these crazy occurrences in Hinamizawa. So I'm happily adjusting. Especially with "Nipaa~" and "Mii," and all. :3 Otherwise, while the opening and ending are kind of growing on me (I'm not sure if I love them as much as the opening and ending of the first season) I ADORE the next episode previews. :D! |
 |
| I was laughing out loudly when those kids started telling crazy rumors one after another xD Also, the return of pedodoctor! o_o |

| Years later and I can't help but laugh at how many people ignored simple clues like the syringe from higurashi's first arc being just a pen (they were gonna draw on him for forgetting his club assignment, like the first episode), or how he was merely hallucinating most of the time he thought they were being wacky. Heck, when Keiichi smashes the door on Rena's hand she's apologizing for fooling around and keeps apologizing over and over yet he's so paranoid he doesn't get the hint she was just playing around like in the club activities. |
 |
| Okay so I don't think this episode was boring, I mean at least for me it was a nice change. I wonder if in the next ep everything will be wrong...anyways I hope to find out more anwser in the next episode. Favorite parts Rena wining with her power XD Girls spreading rumors of Keiichi The costum part kana kana? |
lots of funny (or ... interesting) things happening in this episode
|
 |
| Funny episode and we learned a bit more about the "endless loop" which only Rika seems to remember. |
 |
| Such a funny episode. The game of hide and seek was just epic! And a very interesting ending..... Can't wait to see more episodes of Kai. 5/5 for this episode. |
  |
| OMG this episode was AMAZING! im glad there back to the kid selves... omg i laughed so hard when Keichii got a boner X'D good job Rena! and great job Shion and Mion! i would totally do the same XD oh wow i LOVED the traps in the beginning! it was so awesome how he dodged all those traps! and ataco was so funny X3 lol and i loved it when Keichii gave her that trick question... i would probably be standing there for like 5 mins trying to figure it out jus like Sataco XP but yeah that was funny haha the Zombie Demon selves were so cool! it was hilarious how he tried to close the door then got tickled ^^ all in all I LOVED this epi! and the outfits they had to wear jus made it all better =D ahaha |
 |
| loving the illustration and animation in this episode, sooooo funny (^_____^) |
| Fun episode. Minus the "punishment game" (:x), I actually wouldn't mind playing Zombie Tag. Sounds fun. :3 I feel like this episode is a pseudo-filler. Would be a filler but is not, because this series practically thrives on the semi-bipolarish one-minute-stabby-scene-next-minute-nipah-scene scheme, so it fits in rather well. |
 |
| I don't remember Shion being part of class. xD |
| Nice to see we are back in the past. Didn't wanna hang out with a bunch of flashbacks for a whole season. :B |
| I'm wondering if it is just Takano's character to talk about 'I wonder who will die this year' ? she is the one who brings it up all throughout first season. and if it's not her, it's Tomitake... either way, it was an enjoyable episode. like others said before me, I loved the kids spreading rumors about Keiichi ! |
 |
| The time reset again! So none remembers Rena killing the women and man trying to rob off with Rena's father's money? This show sure is mysterious but good. This episode was funny especially the zombie-demon game xD |
| This was soo extremely funny! Especially Rena's ploy at the end, that just cracked me up :3 Gullible teenage Keiichi hehe. Seems like the second part was a slight recap of the situation in Hinamizawa. It was refreshing. Great episode! I have high hopes :P It's sad though, while watching this whole episode, I knew these happy scenes would be like the contrast to the horrors coming soon. That just douses everything in sadness for me :( |
| Very enjoyable episode, extremely funny and kawaii. But these happy times will soon end and the horror will start again. |
| funny episode ..at this time it seems that Keiichi have taken lessons about what in" Rena arc " , I dont know if he can remembered what happen or not .... Satuko too .. it seems that she cant remember what happened but she have taken lessons .... the same thing for Shion Takano is amazing ... I like her character |
mild_even said: I liked the playfulness of this episode. Now that they got that out of the way... on to the twisted stuff. Yep... :( |
 |
| It's so weird seeing Shion in class with them... But other than that, relatively relaxing episode. |
| I'm starting to think the key to break this endless loop is for everyone to remember the previous ones |
 |
| So cute ;____; It makes me indescribably happy to see Shion and Mion together and getting along well again, lol. And Irie is so inappropriately funny. Takano is creepy as hell though, weh. |

tainteddonut said: If I didn't know any better I would have called Higurashi a school comedy from watching this episode. I was laughing extremely hard especially when the younger kids started spreading the rumors about Keiichi. About Satoko's injection, I'd hazard a guess that it's used to suppress her memories. At the end of the episode Rika was rather disturbed when Satoko seemed to recall a quote that Keiichi had said before. Whereas in the first season the drug they injected Keiichi with made him suicidal. No I think Rika was hoping Satoko would remember. |

| Dat OP, i dig it! |
Avarice said: Rika said "Ni-Pah" twice in this episode. I think I can die happy. XD I was wondering, at the beginning of the episode, Satoko injected something in her body. There aren't any specific details yet but could that be the substance that Rena and Mion injected in Keiichi in the first arc of the first season? Maybe that was the experiment of the Sonozaki family? Any thoughts? It was pretty obvious to me that it was an antidote for something, atleast it seems pretty clear |
| I laughed quite hard a lot of times in this episode! It was a bit of both funny and wtf moments, like when shion mion rena and keichi were talking after the zombie tag, it seemed to me that keichi actually said something that he had learned in the previous arc, about not having to tell your friends all the bad stuff that happened in the past.. Backing up my thought, satako also remembered something keichi told her in one of the previous arcs... So are they finally getting to the point were everyone has learned their mistakes and they'll manage to stop the hinamizawa death-spree? Or even prevent the disaster that's about to occur? That's my guess nonetheless. Also, zombie tag is such a brilliant idea , i wish i had come up with it during my childhood xD |
| Hmm Twins are in the scene again legitly. Interesting episode. 5 |
| ahahahhaa... poor Keiichi.. that was very scary! LOL.. |
| Really enjoyed the light-hearted tone of this episode. For some reason I am reminded of Endless Eight of Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu. Of course this one is better than the endless repetition of the latter. |

It was pretty obvious to me that it was an antidote for something, atleast it seems pretty clear This is late, but in the final ep of the last season (or the ep before that), they show that it is actually a black marker(they were just trying to draw on his face), Keiichi was being delusional and thought that it was a syringe. Edit It's when Keiichi has the flashback about what happened in the other world, ep 25. |

| Looks like games and pranks stop here... it's almost festival time again. So Shion goes to their school in this time loop and is protecting Satoko. Don't know how to feel about her, she went too far in her arc! |
| This series always baits you in with their funny and cute episodes, and then shit hits the fan. Not expecting anything different from that. |
   |
| This episode: Lighthearted school comedy-check Enjoyment from that-check Psychologically disturbing material- pending Enjoyment/cringe from that- I AM READY! |
 |
| 1. series does a good job on slice of life moments w/ the zombie tag 2. but seeing the 1st season, behind those peaceful moments lies a dark secret. 6/10 |

| I really liked what Rika said at the beginning of the episode, about previous Keiichi remembering what happened in the other "Hinamizawa". Really liking this arc so far. (it's only been one episode though lol) Dat erection.. Edit: So.. who will be the one to go crazy in this arc, I wonder. |

| This was a valuable episode. I really laughed a lot at that Zombie Tag game. When the girls were about to get Keiichi was hilarious. But now we get thet Keiichi manage to recall, more or less directly, what he learned from the previous arcs, and this time even Satoko seemed to do so. So Rika is trying to revive this June endlessly until their friends learn from previous mistakes and fight the common enemy instead of go crazy and stab each other in the back? But at the end of the last season she seemed to enjoy this. So this time Shion remembers the promise made to Satoshi, interesting. See her like this is kinda creepy and pitiful at the same time, last season she went pretty psycho, more than everyone else. But man, we got introduced so many times to Tanako and Tomitake that I'll never forget those faces.. And, if they really want to know who the enemy is, the fulcrus is all on them. They are what triggers all the events. Looking forward to the next episode. |
| Shion spotted. So it's normal this time for her to be around I guess. Laughed at the Anti-pubescent male hardening magic, and when the kids were spreading the rumors about Keiichi. I think Satoko has a vaccine in her syringe without knowing it. And Keiichi really was crazy that time in the first arc while Rena and Mion were actually trying to help him. But let's see what Kai has more to offer! |
| Looks like the deaths might be involved soon. |
