willag said: Just because Mion is not the villain in this arc doesn't mean she doesn't have a "demon" inside of her. Is it really Mion? Because from what I am seeing, it seems much more that Shion is the one carrying that ''devilish' personnality, whereas Mion looks quite responsible and sane. It seems very twited, but I believe the way they act can be differentiated. |

traed said: This is how i think the conversation keiichi had should have gone Keiichi: "hmm how do i commit the perfect crime...............hey mom!!!!!!!" his mom: "the first step is to not ask someone how to commit the perfect crime" lmao xD THIS!!! I seriously was like, "Yes, the perfect way to ask about how to perform a perfect crime is to just ask about it bluntly." And his mother's right, if a crime is in a detective novel, it can be solved. That's where they get their appeal, durr. :P Kind of like how this series makes you think... and LOL @ Keichii saying "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni" as well. |
 |
| Perhaps my favorite episode in the series thus far |
| Such junk... |
| HAHA Keichii really messed up!!! shouldnt he know every1 in that town has the power 2 tell the future and stuff lol jkjkjk but it seems like it!!! hehe i liked when he said "When the Cicada's cry its all over." and then they cried and i was like oh noes its all over!!! but it was only the half way point ahaha and WOW he shouldnt have killed that guy!!! i mean how does Keichii KNOW it was that guy hurting her??? it could have just been Satako... but anyway it was pretty funny how everything was going wrong for Keichii!!! |
 |
| keichi was pretty BA poor little white hamster i think its a hamster also i dont see why keichi was so suprised |
 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. |
| yea weird how everyone knows what Keiichi is doing. Takano sure is creepy |
 |
| When Keiichi said "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni" I couldn't help but just have a giant grin on my face. Clever way to use the title |
| It was pretty much implied for a while that Keiichi was going to kill Satako's uncle but damn it was brutal as hell. I seriously want to know what Takano has to do with all this soon ;o |
 |
| Keiichi killed some one !?! i am starting to think that maybe every one is a killer ? |
| I loved this episode! I must wait to see the next one, sadly. I wonder how this chapter will turn out! Can't be good, though. And Keichii's laugh reminded me just a little bit of Light's from Death Note. Don't know why, because Keichii's not NEARLY as evil! |
 |
| This. Was. Incredible. Best episode of the series so far, no question. And yes, loved "It will be over Higurashi no Naku Koro ni" :-D The tension and atmosphere in this ep was amazing...and the music for the 'next ep' segment at the end really sends chills down my spine. |
| "Ah yes, the demon drink...'Nature's Alzheimer's' they call it" |
| Yaaaay for Killer Keiichi!! |
It's not breaking in if the door is unlocked. |
| i'm watching this right now... i think satoko mudered her brother |
Oceansoul said: It was such a relief when Keichi finally caught up Satoko's uncle! I was afraid he escaped.. that'd be impossible since keiichi always does exactly as satoshi no matter what happens |
| Wow. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| I know that the sroty arcs aren't in chronological order, but are the individual episodes in the arc in order or not? Because Takano already knew Keiiichi in episode 10. And she said: We met a few times on the road''. So is that the scene where Keiichi is picked up by Takano after he buried that corpse? |
| Interesting, Keiichi went even more insane now lol |
| My favorite part of this episode was the conversation with his mother. I wonder if that conversation means more to the rest of the series than it did in just this episode. |

ExquisiteDefect said: My favorite part of this episode was the conversation with his mother. I wonder if that conversation means more to the rest of the series than it did in just this episode. I think that was clever, how it appeared the mom was talking about something unrelated yet she was referring the confusing introduction behind "this" mystery novel, and how it is vital to the overall story. On another note, heavy character development on the part of Keiichi.Also really good to see he's not always the victim (Hopefully I don't jynx the next ep) and finally getting an evil laugh of his own. |
| Since the very beginning I always held Takano as a suspect and when I knew this show hd "arcs" and she always turns up to be found "missing" i knew she wasn't missing and somehow every arc with every creepy turn has something to do with her. Plus she always does that weird face expression so something was up. Love how this show makes me get involved is like I am a detective xD |
| How exactly was this anywhere close to the perfect crime, minus that woman. |
| I think everyone is forgetting that he already added 2 to his kill count at the end of the first arc... So this means Kechii is up to 3 kills now. I wanna see if he can get to 4! |
| Some parts of this post may be exaggerated. |
| For some inexplicable reason, when Takano said her car's boot was already full... I had this horrible sensation that there was a body inside it (maybe Tomitake's?) |
“I’m tired of all the nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep. That’s deep enough. What do you want – an adorable pancreas?”      |
| This episode stressed the crap out of me... Takano is scary. |
NateXsama said: How exactly was this anywhere close to the perfect crime, minus that woman. That's what I thought too. For god sakes he didn't even wear gloves. Also what the hell is with this logic? Yea I think I'm going to just kill my friend's uncle cause he's such an asshole. Always abusing my friend that I only knew for a few months. What the fuck? |
 |
Davyu said: In this arc Satoko and Keiichii actually bonded a hell lot...much more than the anime presents actually. Satoko even shows Keiichi her secret playground full of traps and so on. So, Satoko really got attached to him and Keiichi, as an only child felt he had a little sister.NateXsama said: How exactly was this anywhere close to the perfect crime, minus that woman. That's what I thought too. For god sakes he didn't even wear gloves. Also what the hell is with this logic? Yea I think I'm going to just kill my friend's uncle cause he's such an asshole. Always abusing my friend that I only knew for a few months. What the fuck? But I guess this is what happens when you rush a long arc into 4-5 episodes. Also, the point of the "perfect crime" is for the crime "never to be found". That's why he buried him and killed him somewhere no one could see them. Problem was that he messed up so from the start his friends already knew he had done something, there were also witnesses that saw him go to the woods with a shovel and Takano saw him. As for how come his mother answered so nonchalantly, Keiichi actually asks in the original material about how would a perfect murder be presented in a mystery novel, because his mother loves them. That's why she starts going in detail about how no murder in a Mystery novel is "perfect" and goes into description as to why. |

| Keiichi was really badass this ep , it takes guts to kill a man . |
 |
| Oh no, my inner gumshoe senses are coming out. Keiichi, this wasn't the perfect crime at all. You messed up from step one. Oh well, at least you got the job done. :B |
Formerly gutsyGumshoe   |
| I think am having a theorem of this curse.. It's a myth and people might have been taking the cotton festival as a chance to kill the people who they want ..and then they get some mental illness which makes them kill people every year... That doesn't explain how people know about him and why some people disappear after being killed and some people's corpses are shown :? |
-------Only God will judge me -------- iSignature |
| This is ultra interesting. Screw sleeping. I am going to watch the next episode now! |
| From creepy to creepier. No wonder I like Higurashi :D That guy, Keichii is damn stupid. The murder wasn't even properly executed. |
 |
| Keichi could teach a thing or two to CIA hitmen, dat planning /sarcasm. |
 |
| As soon as she said my trunk is full, I knew she murdered someone. The whole murder of the Uncle was pretty shitty, I mean the kid is stupid. Why would he bury a body so close to the road, why did he make the grave so shallow, and the best question, Does he really think the branches aren't suspicious? I mean its not like its going to get windy and blow that stuff away is it? Also I wonder who filled in the hole he made at first. |
 |
| The Satoshi Bat is back! Aaaaand Keiichi just threw it into the river. Speaking of Satoshi, it was him who killed his own aunt! And this time, Keiichi killed the uncle! At least we got to see more of Keiichi's past. I like this arc a lot. There's more bat swinging and less screaming at girls. Good job, Keiichi. I also like how Keiichi said, "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni". I'm still wondering how everyone knows what Keiichi is doing. Especially the mysterious Takano, who apparently killed someone too. |
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. |
| Can someone please tell me why he brought his shovel back? He didn't even make an effort to hide it (or himself..) when the car appeared. And people are all like "wow how did she know he buried a body??" .... |
| Keiichi is adapting to this town lol. Already iced someone (fourth episode doesn't count that was self-defense). "The trunk is full..." Takano-san iced someone too that night. Was it Tomitake or someone else I wonder. |
| Well that was a not so perfect crime...he's already been caught. |
 |
| Never go full psycho... Keichi passed that cap. Weird Takano ghost is back. I'm sure she's the trigger of all the event. Oishi said in the last arc that she was already dead before they found her burned and even before the festival. So Satoshi killed the aunt, but did he really did only that? I'm sure there's something more behind this. |

| 1. im surprised the mom wasn't even suspcious when keiichi asked about committing the perfect crime. 2. satoko's uncle got it comin 3. tanako is just beyond mysterious... |

| No offense but this is getting really stupid. I hope there is a reason to reveal the fact that this Keiichi dude is a genius, because.. obviously, he isn't. I have a lot of problem with Keiichi in this arc. Meh.. |
