I loved the games and happy stuff (like always) but in the second half there wasn't really anything going on.. |

I'm glad that no cat got actually killed. Fine episode, nothing exceptional, but enjoyable. Keii-chan in a maid suit was the best thing ever. forlacik said: Not really, Mion's looking like a cow in her cow suit.Mion's looking hot in her cow suit. |

Good special. I liked the haunted quarry story. It was really interesting. Too bad it was never mentioned in the main story, so it'll remain a mystery. =P And Mion was looking good BTW! XD 7/10 ^_^ (This was very nostalgic... I miss Higurashi... -_- ) |

I personally never enjoyed these "batsu-game" sequences and thought it detracts from the creepy and haunting mood of the series that drew me to it in the first place. Though, I did enjoy the "hole" mystery and their incorporation of the music and light effects that added to the haunting atmosphere while the girls were narrating it. I wonder whether the worker is supposed to be the ghost of the president who murdered his family. |

For those who have seen Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai In Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, it seems all people are killed by a volcanic gas, so it smells sulfurous, to prevent watchers? No, in Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai, we know now that it's Miyo and the Yamainu who killed all people themself, after Rika's death with a gas or something else. So, viewing a Yamainu as a guard in the mine, smelling sulfurous there? Thinking it's just a good place to be a weapon warehouse for the Yamainu, to store the gas they use later "in prevention". And we know with the Yamainu, "be too curious is being dead", so they killed the boy and his father, who have discovered this warehouse? Mion's cosplay > * |

It makes sense that the gas they use to kill everyone is stored in there, which also explains why it smells like sulfur. You probably discovered the mystery behind the the haunted quarry. ^_^ |

So, serious question. If Mion is strutting around all that time in a bathing suit, where's her tattoo? Although, I noticed it never showed her back fully (her hair was always covering part of it) but shouldnt we have been able to see at least some of it? EDIT: I missed the post earlier where someone mentioned it, and I doubt it was Shion as well. Then again, her hair was covering most of her back, so that could be why we didnt see it. |

I heard that that was a mistake made by the producers, but I'm not 100% sure. :| Even so, I seriously doubt that it was Shion. That would be pointless and meaningless. :P |

Haaah. Wat. Oh well, "nipaa~". And also, what I really love, is that the animation is so much better than in the original series~ And due to the lack of Shion, I'll just have to do with Mion <3 |

I was enjoying the gorgeous new animation quality, getting drawn into the story of the abandoned quarry it when it occurred to me how I might wanna mouse over the WMP window and see the duration of this thing. It was almost over. What? The pacing was kinda thorough and slow so I didn't expect any great mystery to be resolved but this was basically just teasing. Oh well, still enjoyed it, and it is only a special so...can't complain. |

OMG this was amazing! I loved how every1 bet their bodies for their chips... and in the end NO one won?! haha ppl got nose bleeds XD i thought by the "hole" they meant like the hole to wonderland cuz of Keiichi's outfit... i was looking froward to that XP but i guess now... hehe and i liked the end where it actually got to the short special... well it as a great epi!

I liked it. And Mion looked so hot in that cow two-piece. |

My speculations: The strange man in the hole is a Yamainu worker. Yamainu clearly has power over the police, hence the reason the police reporting, "there was no one at the quarry." Sulfuric acid, which is fatally dangerous, was probably the gas that was used to kill the villagers during Hinamizawa Disaster(or something like that). But overall, nothing really important happened. The best part really is the cosplay |

Pretty interesting and well worth watching. The cosplay was fun, and the tale was interesting. I definitely think that guy was one of those white-van people, the uniforms look similar, and those guys are always up to no good... Plus it's more interesting to think of him that way as opposed to being a ghost. Because then there's something more to his presence at the quarry... Hrmm. >=] The sulfuric smell.... gas leak... volcanic... it all sounds very similar to the phrases that were used in the arc that first mentions the Disaster of Hinamizawa and the gas leak... I wonder if this quarry.... Is what causes that? >o< What the heck is going on then?! Argh. Time to watch ni Kai. >=D |

Yeah, 7/10 overall. Not bad, but not exceptional - as an arc it'd be a lot nicer if there was more than one episode, but doesn't matter much as a special. Although after seeing Kai it does kind of add to the whole thing. I'm guessing the worker was part of the Yamainu and the place in general was for weapons storage for Takano; which then makes sense why it's warned against going there,of course. Also, Rika at the end - that the curse will affect Keiichi eventually anyways - makes perfect sense after seeing Kai. |

After all Rika doesn't find out about Takano's plan until Minagoroshi and Matsuribayashi. In fact, she didn't knew that in every timeline besides two Hinamizawa was wiped from the face of the earth. She did know the Yamainu likely had something to do with the Quarry though and she knew they are merciless so she didn't want them to die meaninglessly. |

Yeah i know this is weird and all, but do they're gonna make more series or this is the end?, first season was pretty awesome, second season was pretty well, the ova's were kinda weird but it was a lot of fun there tho, there is no more rite? |

i think this is the only time where Rika manage to prevent the curse from happening again. it's been awhile since i last saw the series(finished Season 1 and 2, two years ago) still reminded me on how awesome this anime is, just the music and the story telling makes your curiosity piqued. also Mion is the best with that sexy tiger bra and pantsu oufit!!!!!! Rawwwr!!!!! 9/10 :P |

Just finished watching this. Rena: It's a cruel world. Oh my~ The episode was more like comedy than anything else though, didn't seem like horror to me at all. Four of a Kind! I swear I saw this before though but oh well. Lol @ that cow outfit. MOO. The most serious parts were probably the ending scenes. Oh boy, that was great. |

It was okay, I guess, but it didn't live up to it's title name, cat killing, and they did mention "curiosity killed the cat". |

Well, nothing special, but okay I guess. Nice fanservic of Mion though. And the last scene before the credits gave me a little bit the creeps. |

The cosplay! >///< It's alright for me, I only watched it because of the cosplay. Rika is still my favorite character! ^.^ What's with the "Cat killing" part? I seriously don't get it... ._. |
