| satoko...welcome to my favorite characters list xD,you're too awesome :p overall good episode...i wouldn't have minded if higurashi would have been a comedy/school series rather than a horror series because neither of the characters deserve it :(,except Takano,she scares the hell out of me xD |

| Well I didn't like that episode that much, seemed just like an extension of the last one. I hope it gets more intense from here on. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| The anticipation is killing me....I want to see the next episode but I have some important stuff to do right now. |
| HEADSHOT! I CRAVE MORE BLOODSSHHED Hmpf, I wasn't really paying attention. I hope next episode draws me in more. |
 |
| That man is scary..And what are these people in the white van?They must be the same that were hunting keiichi in the first arc..Are they the killers?But, please don't tell me they are aliens..That i can't handle.. |
 |
| Waaaah, I really like this portrayal of Rika and Satoko's relationship!! I didn't feel for them very much at ALL in the first season, but I'm feeling more and more connected to them! I liked how Rika dashed right out of the ceremony when it was finished and found Tomitake... but she ultimately feels defeated no matter how hard she wants the changes. I felt like I was expecting a little something different when they snipped the frayed thread, too, but the pattern is repeating itself... And as for those guys in the van/shooting the police officer guy, I am so interested to find out how they're all connected in this. Also, with people complaining that it's slow or uninteresting so far, I don't know. I didn't really feel the slowness until this episode. I mean, I still wanted something cool/scary/gory to happen, but I feel like these past few episodes after opening with a serious, informative one were to allow us to get settled back in with the characters and the feeling of Hinamizawa once again. But even though I'm noticing the slowness now, I'm not horribly bothered by it, and the next episode looks promising. :3 |
 |
| Poor Satoko staying up all night to talk to the police... or was she on the look out for that stalker? |
| It would suck to have nobody believe you. Who is that man? o.0 |
| Awww I feel so sorry for Rika! and also poor Satoko! Even thought almost everyone want blood and those things I don't want Rika or Satoko to die. |
| wow that was interesting. What a weird arc, with the stalker and the white-coated henchmen. -_- Still no blood. I really want to see Rika get killed :3 |
 |
| I thought those men in the green suits worked for the Sonozaki family? If so then it makes sense why one of them is stalking Satoko since they hate the Houjou family. I wonder what 3 of them were doing at that place though. |
 |
| omg i would be so scared! Satako should call Keichii and hopefully hell come over with a golf club again! lol... but really poor Satako is trying everything she can but apparently she already tried that stuff... hmm it was so cute how Rika said she peed herself! what an amazing lie! hmm the whole thing was interesting... i love how they trimed the tins and Rika freaked out going they didnt do that before! YAY and then her hopes went down again =( lol i loved the club games they played! poor Keichii X3 hmm and its those guys again... i hope Satako can stop them! |
 |
| Poor Rika. =( |
| omg omg omg cliff hanger !!! |
| I'm starting to like Satoko! And I still wonder, who are the people from white van and what are they doing... |
| Lussuria Love ♥ |
| I really feel for Rika. And this is the first episode I've actually liked Satoko, I think. |
 |
| This episode nearly almost made me wanna shed a tear hearing Rika saying that she is afraid because she know what pain she will endure but it has happened before. Even though Satoko tried to help Rika already knew she will do that and still her "destiny" will still happen. Sad truly sad Mii Nippa!!  |
| 4 episodes in, and not a single murder scene? Somebody is going to get killed, very soon. |
| Some parts of this post may be exaggerated. |
| oh ... lets see who are those men who try to kill Rika and kill everyone intervene in this whole thing ... mm why they havent just kill both of Satuko and Rika from the first place ; it will be easy to do that instead to kill everyone intervene |
| Poor Rika and Satoko ;__; That man is creepy! As usual, this won't end well. |
| I love the serious Rika man!!! So the killing starts now... |
| Hopefully it picks up from here, the slower episodes aren't boring or anything, they just aren't as interesting as last seasons |
| okay so now it starts......... didn't want to comment on the previous episodes as it just felt like filler until the real stuff starting kicking off and hopefully this is where it starts... i do hope its as good as the first season, i haven't seen higurashi in so long, and the first season was just epic for me as it was just when i started watching anime, and I wanted to come back to the second season with more anime experience! |
| So am i the only one who would be okay with the a happy ending and no more pain for hinamizawa ? Rika's sadness and desperation is really getting me. And also , all you guys who keep asking for violence, SAVOR THE HAPPY MOMENTS, if this anime teaches us one thing , that's it :) |
| This season seems to be going a bit slower compared to the last one. Still I do trust something will change (perhaps there will be more gore this time). |

| It's the white van people man! What are they up to?!?!? |
| Well that escalated quickly. Got pretty intense there at the end:O |
 |
| 1. intensity is picking up. wonder what those white van people are up to. 2. the pace has been slow for the last 2 episodes. maybe that's y no english dub has been released. 6/10 |

| Those stalkers scare me. Seriously, Mion/Shion and Rena should trust Satoko a little more, their distrust somehow make no sense. Ugh, and so the killing begins, I mean, it's good that we're getting some more info about what's happening, and what is up with Rika, but everyone dying in every arc is kind of repetitive. It's still good though. |

| The change of type of emotion in this show is quite strong, we passed from a sick and extreme uneasiness to a more dramatic key, I can sense the impossibility of Rika on change things. Wonder who's that guy, and for whom that Van Mens work. Oh and I want so badly a happy ending, I'm full of them killing each other. |
| Want to know more about those Van guys, whom are they working for? And yeah, first time they used a gun. Like it wasn't the obvious choice. |

| That stalker guy seems like a Pedo, hopefully we'll know who he truly is. Also these episodes may be slow but I still want to see what happens. |

| This is getting more and more interesting, but the lack of violence kinda ruins it for me. |
Oh, pitiful shadow cloaked in darkness. Thy actions cause men pain and suffering. Thy hollow soul drowns in thy sins. How would you like to see what death is like? -Enma Ai |
| Man, it really seem inevitable... When she want to ask the doctor who really likes her, he dies by ''suicide'', when she ask the officer for help, he get killed by a mysterious group... At the same time, it makes me really curious that it was if I remember the same gorup that was accompaning the doctor when Keichi was killed in the first arc. But we als didn't knew what was his intention. He may not be related at all to the curse, just a victim. Satoko really is alone this time. Mion and Rena didn't believe her. But somehow, I believe that Keichi will be a joker. In all the arcs so far, he have been a turning point and they haven't shown him disregarding Satoko plea. I'm interested in who commissioning the murder. The only time we saw someone kill Rika, it was during Shion arc and Rika more killed herself than got murdered. |

| This arc hasn't been very good, but I think this last episode will really make up for it! That bonechilling pedo stare... Rika needs to quit hiding stuff from Satoko, they are practically soulmates and she still feels the need to hide stuff from her. That cliffhanger, gonna go watch the next episode right now! 4/5 |
| Does no-one else think that the suspense/mystery is the best part of this show? All I see are comments asking for blood. |
| not the best, but i have a feeling it will pick up here soon. i love rika & satako <3 |

| oooh next episode looks intense =o too bad i can't watch it right now... sighh |
 |
| Someone is stalking Satoko and its making her nuts, people can be so cruel |
 |
| Wow, I wasn't expecting those van people to just shoot that cop in the face, who are they working for I wonder? It's unlikely to be the 3 great families since their trying to kill Rika. Either way it seems like Rika and Satoko are fucked :/. |
 |
| Nice Episode . Now Finally, things are getting intense. |
