| Awe Sataco has a brother!!! her poor family!!! ='( and Rika was so cute X3 lol good thing Sataco came over or Keichii would have surely set the house on fire... good thing he didnt haha... and WOW Coach wants 2 marry Sataco!!! AWKWARD!!! i was like ew that pedophile!!! ahaha then he was talking about adopting her and that would be fine and nice but who knows he might rape her while shes sleeping!!! but yeah... poor Keichii came to the baseball game with a golf club... i would have been so embarrassed to XD good epi all in all =) |
 |
| so i find out that everyone is just a spaz all over again |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Sometimes Keiichi's head aint all there either. |
| Whoo psycho Rena is back. These 'normal' episodes at the beginning of each arc are a bit weird after the brutality of the last episode XD |
 |
| I can't beleive noone said anything about Shion!!!!! Think about the very first arc. Before keiichi batted the shit outta mion and Rena, he was asked by them if he really did like to play baseball. He hesitantly lies and says yes and so mion tells him wait for the manager to come. No matter how many times he asked who the manage was, they laughed hysterically and said "the managers the manager". Looking at this episode, it appears that shion is indeed the manager and just as what had been said in the first arc, shion says "a managers a manager" which definitely proves she is. What this entire thing means in questionable. I'm thinking shion is the bad one that is causing all the trouble somehow. But I can't piece together even half of a conclusion. It's a good thing this anime has been finished cuz I just wanna wath everything in one go if possible. Off topic but... I can't believe I'm watching this show on new years eve and even continuing till after midnight in which Its now a new year. Well I guess all I can say is happy new year!! Bring on 2011 (and 2012 if you beleive in it.....MWuauahahahaha *imitates Rena/mion*) |
  |
| Nice to see the link with the last arc-first proper appearance of the 15-nail torture. And I'm convinced that body in the first scene is indeed Satoshi, but could be wrong... Wooh, creepy Rena is back!! But Mion seems pretty normal in this arc, while Shion is the creepy one. Hmm... |

DesolateOne said: Actually, they really meant the coach. notice they use the english word for "manager" and the actual japanese they used which was translated to Coach is the word used in the first arc. Furthermore, in the game at least, they first tell him that the doctor was coming to check him for injuries. After they go to the first floor and come back they start joking with him and tell him the manager (coach) was gonna be happy that he's playing baseball and that he was coming. Since Keiichi didn't know Dr. Irie was also a baseball coach he assumed they called this manager/coach stranger to kill him.I can't beleive noone said anything about Shion!!!!!

| Eh interesting... I think I'm getting the hang of the series already (maybe not), I want something truly unexpected to happen lol |
| I wonder what happened to the little shot of the future where someone's getting killed, like in the first two arcs(with Keiichi and the baseball bat and Rika and the knife). |
| Lemme smang it girl. |

I think that it was Satoshi's body too!! perhaps the murderer had finally dumped his body... and the ladies found it tortured, in garbage bags. |
 |
| This back and forth between psycho Rena and psycho Mion(Shion too) is part that disturbs me the most. It really makes you question who they "really" are, or which reality is the one that matters. (On the assumption that all these alternate realities will lead to a final all-important arc.) |
| Heh little talkie with Mion, Rena and Keiichi <3 Rena snapped and started act like freak and after Mion slapped her... she was normal herself... again I like more her "evil" side :) She just feel more matured on that side and serious. I just don't know why, but I can't get off this scene from my mind... |

| This show is truly messed up but still interesting to watch. |
| Maan, why does Rena have to be the demon this time?? When she's scary like that, I imagine Nagisa, and I'm like.. this just doesn't fit lol. |
| hmmm idk why but i feel each arc is trying to explain something.....like giving more pieces to the puzzle.....or is it just me overly thinking? (puts hand over head hahaha) |
  |
| Pretty much the bad one is Rena now? Appart from getting knowledge to understand previous arcs, I don't see how they are related, yet..? |
Piroko said: I assume the demon soul is now in Rena, rather than in Shion in the last arc :P That was totally what I was thinking.. Also Sotashiro was in that well in the chapter before then :P.. And Oyashiro's demon possessed Rena from the past so that is why she broke the windows with a bat before (Info in first chapter ) |

| I'm getting a little confused. Which is the actual real timeline, and between arc 1 and 2, where |

Phantom-Brave12 said: I'm getting a little confused. Which is the actual real timeline, and between arc 1 and 2, where It's a totally different world. All this makes sense in the 2nd season. |
| Interesting. I wonder is Mion is still evil though. |
| We finally meet the COACH!! Remember the 1st arc when Kei beats Mion and Rena to a pulp?! Before he did that Rena and Mion mentioned that coach would be coming to the house! Keep an eye on this man; he is probably just as psycho as everyone else Shion looked devastated when Kei mentions that he heard Satoshi "transferred." I think it's safe to assume that "transferring" is code for DEAD. |

| Dat beginning scene. I tend to say this every time a new arc begins. Satoshi and Keiichi are really alike, aren't they? Wait, I think Irie the Coach, who likes little girls, is the coach that was mentioned in the first arc. I see, all the arcs are related, giving us information in different ways. Cool, the bat is back. Something is up with Shion and Rena. I wonder who it'll be in this arc. |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |
| Pedo coach lol xD This has to be my least favourite arc =S |
| Looks like each arc starts less cheerful now. Keiichi, you might now want to piss off Rena... once she gets that cleaver it will be too late. That body in the bag hat nails in it's hand... we all know who used nails in the previous arc. I wouldn't want to be in Keiichi's shoes, he is friends with two (four?) time bombs and looks like running away is not an option. |
| So now we add the doctor to the mix and Rena is the psycho again...lovely. |
 |
| It sure was an interresting episode. There's a few thing I've noticed : - About every arc beginning, there's always that gruesome scene. The last two scene were surrounder by that green blur. This didn't have that blur. Here's my theory : the green blur mean that it was something that is going to happen in the future. The scene from the first episode happened in the episode 4 and the scene from episode 5 must have happened between the episode 6 and 7. So what I mean is that the corpse we saw at the beginning is probably the corpse of Satoshi, it also seem that it was found into another village. It wasn't green blurred because that murder already happened. - About the corpse, from what briefly saw, it look like his leg were broken. There was a tons of nail in his hand, which look like the same torture that Mion were using, so we could guess that she is the killer. And finally, his belly was cut open. Maybe it's just a set up or he got killed when the killer opened his belly. - Mion said that Rena was victim of the curse. But the earlier episode, we saw her pupil go crazy like when Mion was possessed by the demon. This time, her pupil was also weird, but rather to be cat like, it was all expanded. That coach was fucking creepy xD I mean, what the fuck, she's like 10? They said their age at the beginning but I don't remember. One of Keichi recurent flaw is that he's too passive with his friend problem. He always seem to act as a spectator. |

| Lol guys, I don't think the pedo coach was serious about marrying Satoko. ninasko said: It keeps getting more and more boring. I expected more. Sure, some finer details are explained throughout the arcs, but it doesn't help much. This, pretty much. I am getting tired of the "let's act normal after gone psycho". I think I'll take a small break from this anime. ~.~ |

| I think the beginning scene was supposed to be in Episode 5, and maybe we'll see that beginning happen either in this arc or later? Just a guess of mine. I like how we learn little by little more about the characters, and although everything gets reverted or what every arc, Keiichi also seems to have learned at least some things, like remembering Shion as Mions twin. Although he is stupid as fuck... |
| New chapter...again |
| I gotta say I enjoyed this "first episode" more than the other ones. That creepy coach wanted to FUCK THE LITTLE GIRL! Goddamn, first episode of the arc and we're already getting some freaky facial expressions courtesy of Rena.  This face scared me more than it should of. It was so unexpected though...  |

| So was the first scene showing the result of the end of last episode? Keiichi with nails through his finger joints, his intestines torn out, his leg twisted and his nose missing? Brutal. Also he had a weird star mark just above his pubes. Or was that the coach guy introduced this episode, perhaps? Also saw another body in the bag that the landlady opened before they spotted Keiichi/the coaches corpse. Speaking of the coach guy, was that the same "Coach" that they mentioned bringing over in episode 4, just before the injection? So that means he's on the crazy side, too? Also, crazy Rena is back, unfortunately. Crazy Rena creeps the crap out of me. |
 Run bitch... RUN!!! |
| is nobody else creeped out by the coach? he screamed "pedophile" the moment he came on screen |
 |
| I'm actually not minding these first episodes anymore, they set things up nicely. But damn was that intro scene creepy this time around, actually made me jump a little lol. Oh and I'm glad to see Shion is back for this arc, I really enjoyed her in the last one. Also I guess Mion is gonna be the sane one this time around lol? |
