Hey I've noticed a couple of people looking for this. Here is a jump to the WinD copy.

In the future use usniff.com for torrent searching...

That was ok. Wish they actually went to the place instead of just talking about it. Yay for Keiichi in bunny ear. ;p

In response to the question on the title, there's another little snippet after the credits end that explain it. Pretty funny in my opinion, hehe. Anyway, check AniLinkz for their copy of the episode; they've got the extra scene after the credits.

It wasn't that interesting. It was just them telling a ghost story and cosplay.

It was an O.K. episode. 3/5
But the cosplay they were wearing was cute/funny.

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.

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.

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

Boring..Even if i wanted to be scared by the "ghost" story, with Keiichi in a dress i couldn't..
Anyway, it seems like this place has some links with the curse or the watanagashi deaths..

It wasn't a bad episode, but it certainly wasn't as good as I was expecting. It was a bit of a let down because there was so much build up, but then they decided not to go in the end.

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.

The first half was funny with the game and cosplay but the story was a little boring, even if it is to foreshadow some events later on.

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!

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 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!!!!!

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.
