Boring ep, not thrilling at all... meh. At least the final arc started and we can get to know more about Rena. Looking forward to the next one.


You obviously have 0 attention span and are completely clueless if you think this episode was boring.

just stop it with the nipah already wtf!? O.o

the part where Rika(9 yr old) was dressed like a wth was that was really awkward :-)...and the doctor wtf was he doing O.o

anyway,i guess rena's gonna swing that machete in the next episodes :-)

5/5...and higurashi's really close! to get 10/10 from me :D

So far I do not see that much connection to the other arcs, but I guess that will come
Also after the first scene I hoped it would start earlier telling Renas story chronologically, but I guess this doenst happen.
Looking forward to the next one.
I probably regret this post by now.

Why did he throw out Rena/Reina's treasures?

Rena is my fav character next to Rika...very interested in how this arc plays out. The episode itself was good considering how crazy the last Shion arc was. It's good to keep a balance of psychoticness/stability in an anime.

5/5!

So this Rina woman is the mistress that Satoko's uncle was staying with after his wife was beaten to death. I hope Rena goes on a rampage because I think the first arc where she was crazy is still the best.

So after 22 episodes and 4 arcs (not including those wasted 2 episodes in the middle), we finally get to the point where Rena's trademark machete comes out. If the inevitable murder is anything as tense and expertly paced as Keiichi's murder attempt way back in the 3rd arc, then I think we're in for something special :-D

I loved Rena's little monologue in the beginning. And finally, for once, the beginning of an arc was actually fun (aka. not boring) with that water pistol battle. Anyway, a bit on backstory on Rena was nice but I just can't wait to see her psycho xD

I feel so bad for Rena. I don't know what I would do in a situation like that. I think she should go and innocently say hi to "Rina-san", but I'm sure she's angry and afraid like I would be.

Oh, and tbh, when Shion came in I got kinda scared XD Forgot that she's good again :3

That beginning scene is alright. Yes, it's a new arc! And it's Rena's arc!

That water gun fight was intense. But that punishment game was funny!

We learn about Rena's past with how her mom left her dad for an uncle.
And then it ends up with her dad ending up with Rina Mamiya.
Rina is working with Uncle Houjou in order to steal money.

Rina will be stealing money from Rena's dad.
Because of that, Rena will be using her cleaver pretty soon.
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.

I have a feeling Ritsuko/Rina is in one of those bag in the beginning scene xD

They are such scumbags, working with that kind of scam older than the world...

That watergun fight was hilarious and that scene with the pledge too :P

seriously... when i watch that watergun battle scene, it's like a very well done slice-of-life anime. but seeing those darker moments in the past episodes just casts a large shadow over the peaceful times.

I sympathize more with Rena here in one episode than Shion for 5 episodes (or more, because it kinda connects with the second arc).

Ahah no joke..

But anyway, new arc?
Maybe it could connect to the third arc, where Kei killed (or thought so) Satoko's uncle, which is a blackmailer.

So, Rena (which it seems Reina is her actual name, if it was already been said, I don't remember) moved 1 year before in Hinamizawa, after her mother divorced from his father for an unknown man.
Rena at first wanted to stay with her mother, but maybe something happened and went with his dad instead.
Now, I don't recall in which arc, it's said that Rena already lived in Hinamizawa, then moved away, but after the school incident (maybe under rage for whatever happened with her mother) returns in town.

Now we have his dad have a hit on this girl, that Rena knows already because she lives with them, which is Satoko's uncle girl and complicit in his blackmails.
They're planning to extort money from him, Rena overheard everything and things will escalate quickly and brutally.

Wonder how it will connect to some other arcs, but I doubt it will, because it seems a completely different setting.

Seems like a new arc to me, not an explanation arc or something. But I look forward to learn more about Rena.
I wonder if she will only resort to violence or if she is at least going to try to talk with her father about the situation.

Although I saw what happened in the last arc, no , in EVERY arc, I can't bring myself to hate those girls, even Shion. I know they can go crazy mode if they want, but when they act so sweet and innocent they are all just adoreable.
