Piroko said: Orz.....wow, at least now we find out why Rika committed suicide, but wow. x.x That's what I was thinking. |
 |
| Woah...woah...woah... But finally, that scene at the beginning of the second arc makes sense now. |
| This was too damn amazing .. LOL |
 |
| I now feel like I need to go back and watch the episodes that these episodes are helping to explain. Very good episode though. Seems like the majority of these characters become possessed, whether or not they are unaware of it is another thing entirely. |

| She killed herself? Man, that's crazy. I wonder what happens to Tomoko? This is really interesting. Must watch next episode. |
| That explains the first scene in ep 5. This anime is so good. I can't stop watching. >_< |

| is it bad if i started meniacaly laughing allong with shion? sorta creeped myself out for a minute |
"Stop whining, all I did was chop off your stupid legs." |
| Wow what an episode. I give a 5. |

| Aw, I hoped Rika would kill that crazy girl. Yeah, I'm sure covering Rika with newspapers makes the crime disappear. Really intense and gory, but the pieces are coming together, so it's really good so far. |
 |
| Great episode, I like how Shion got her revenge on the other characters. |
| Alright, that bitch needs to die, painfully. No cock is worth that much suffering. |
 |
| Shion is, without a doubt, crazy. Rika is, without a doubt, cute. The fight begins! Rika takes out her syringe and her spray! But it is no match against Shion's taser! So, what should Rika do now? That's right, she should kill herself! And that's how you leave the world like a boss. This fifth arc is truly the Answer Arc to the second 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. |
| Okay that was pretty crazy. Wow. Rika had the most brutal death I have ever seen.. This gives us some really valuable information, but I still don't understand how they are gonna make the whole volcanic incident come into play.. Since Rika died here and then we saw her naked body outside the temple before K was pushed into the river and everyone dying from the volcano gases. Hmmm. |
| So that injection is what makes the festival victim kill themselves. Makes perfect sense, they injected Keiichi with that in first arc too! So that's why he killed himself in the phone booth! Now Shion... I absolutely hate her and hope she does not survive in the end! |
| Incredibly gory but the story is progressing quite splendidly. I love it! |
 |
| Holy crap I forgot about this part with Rika and also Satoko. This makes the endgame with Keiichi all the more interesting. |
 |
| Shion have gone completely psycho, I can't help but laugh when I see her go maniac xD Rika was so cute... Until she started stabbing herself :P There is only two thing left that I don't understand about the second arc ; - Who really is Takano and how/why was she dead before the festival though we saw her? - How did Shion ended up attacking Keiichi in the hospital when she was supposely dead? Oishi say before leaving : ''There is to much walking dead in that story''. I wonder what that mean, why do some people seem to came back from the death? |

| shion's self-talk is so intense that i love it. i'll follow her lead in that regard, but not the killing lol. |

| I felt really bad for Rika after seeing Shion push her around like that releasing her frustrations on her :( but watching the fight between her and Shion was pretty interesting (seeing Rika's 'bad' side) |

I was thinking that the syringe contained something that caused extreme pain which caused Rika to put herself out of her own misery. |

| Shion is a bitch, I can't sympathize with her at all, so all this time I wasn't "I can understand that feel, Shion" but instead "Fucking bitch lay your hand off Rika you crazy mothafucka". Now all I wish is for her to die a painful death. She is even worse than Keiichi. |

| Finally we got to see the beginning scene from episode 5. I totally liked Shion in the second arc, and now in this arc in the beginning too, but now that she's all crazy like her sister, I don't even know what to think anymore. |
| I'm glad to see some lights from that second arc, finally the sense is surfacing. But this arc showed that Keiichi and Shion met in a street and he protected her, when in the second it was Shion who protected Keiichi, at the steps of the cafè, so it's slightly different. But now the only thing that remains is the presumably death of Shion and resurrection. I think Oyashiro-sama really exists, but speaking from Rika's mouth it doesn't seem to be that brutal, it seems quite indulgent. The problems are all in human's heads. And Takano remains a huge variable. |
| Shion is insane... |
| Amazing!! now that's more like it, more blood and more killing. Shion so cool |
| Recommend me an anime |
| Now I see.... I think I got the entire timeline now. |
"You either die an Ashita no Joe, or you live long enough to see yourself become a Naruto."  |
| No more Rika-chan, and Satsuko has barely been in it even though her brother died, they didn't even use that chance for character development. Though I doubt they could even pull it off. |
| "Nothing is sweeter than your smile" |
| I just can't...this episode...too fucking amazing for words... I HAD NO IDEA THAT RIKA COMMITED SUICIDE AFTER SHE WENT TO GET MORE SOY SAUCE! WOW THAT SUICIDE. HOLY SHIT THE BLOOD IT'S EVERYWHERE! THOSE YANDERE FACES! THE FACE OF PURE EVIL! SHION'S LIKE THE GASAI YUNO OF HIGURASHI! EPIC EPISODE! ABSOLUTELY 1-UPPED THE PREVIOUS ONE! 10/5 |

| This episode was awesome Poor Rika I didn't expect to kill herself like that But I love Shion |
 |
| that slap scene was very funny, lol |
 |
| Best episode so far! ^^ Abhishantz said: that slap scene was very funny, lol Lol I agree |
 |
| Does Shion not realize that if she kills Satoko, she would be no better than the people who killed Satoshi? I'm glad Rika died. This arc proved without a doubt that Rika is involved just as all the others. She isn't the cute innocent little kid that she seems at first. |
| Damn, when i saw they were going to attack each other i thought this arc was going to connect to the one where Rika's stomach was opened and her internal organs removed, could still happen though. I also need to know the seiyuus they use for when they go crazy ass mode XD |

| Shion is awesome, she just makes this show so much better. I was not expecting Rika to try and attack her there, glad Shion whooped her ass. But this just proves that Rika isn't the cute little innocent girl everyone thought she was, I'm assuming shes been the one behind all the suicide deaths. She got exactly what she deserved this episode. Can't wait to see how she kills Satoko and Mion :D. |

| Are all the arcs the same timeline? If so, Satoko will survive. If not, she will die. |
| At this point I can safely say that satoshi must be so glad to be dead. Imagine having a crazy bitch as your gf omfg |
Stay in yesterday 時を止めて |
| Damn, Shion is insane. And poor Rika, that was a pretty brutal suicide. Awesome scene though, what with Shion laughing with that insane look on her face |
| After having Rika killing herself as the start of that other arc and never seeing that scene happen I was wondering if it was ever going to come back up or get explained and it does in the most amazing way. This has probably been my favorite episode so far and this is definitely my favorite arc of all of them. Can't wait to see how it concludes. |
 |
| Shion is a lot crazier than Yuno lol. |
