| Fucking adorable Rena scared the crap out of me with my volume all loud. I didn't expect Higurashi to scare me anymore since I saw it back when I was younger, but I was proven wrong. This is interesting indeed, ironically the peaceful world is just wrong as well. Rika was so adorable as usual, I love it when speaks in her older form. More more more! |
 |
| I think Rika is the one that's going to snap in this world..... |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| This anime is too awsome. but Rika is clueless about this world and im starting to be too. x_x and 3 main characters are missing. can't wait to see how this turns out. |
     |
| Man, a Hinamizawa without Irie, Takano and Keiichi? What a boring place! Also, an incredibly submissive Hinamizawa. So when Rena turned around all murderous, was that an illusion or real? oooh, interesting. |
     |
| Interesting turn of event, so Rika is now in a completely different version of Hinamizawa without all the freaky events. Wonder how/if she will be able to get back. |
| "MUTILATED BODY INCIDENT?!" My reaction? "OH SH_T!!" xD Roflmao that really caught me off guard. |
     |
| Isnt this related to the end of Kai when big rika talk to small miyo? XD |
| Well this episode was weird... :/ I was expecting more fan service, but this is better. Poor Rika she is really having rough time... Well I hope it gets cleared out in next episode, I don't want to see her be more in paranoia. This world where nothing happens could be shocking for any of us if we know just one dangerous life we had, but Rika experienced it thousands of times, so I kinda feel her pain too... TT.TT As for Reina, man she freaked me out... |
| I liked this episode, rena's creepy face out of nowhere after speaking so casually and nicely had impact.. What an idiot rika, after working sooooo hard you just had to go get killed by a truck =.=U.. I love higurashi <3 i wish there was more... ahwell i hope ookami kakushi is just as good. Umineko was cool but it wasnt the same thing as higurashi if you know what i mean.. |
 |
| After struggling so hard to live in Kai, she died in a freaking accident here?! Ah the cruelties of fate. I was startled by Rena's reaction to the mutilated corpse incident. Maybe it's a hint. |
| Awesome turn of events! My face look like Rika's face now -> O_O Higurashi still scare xD |
| after all that painful experience Rika died in carr accident?!?!/1 O______O Rena was weird when she suddenly shouted, that reminded mi or Higurashi no naku koro ni's first arc a little. what a weird world, everything is other, Rika's parents are still alive ? and HOW THE HELL they agreed to this dike ? and yeah, it seem to have no true-friends for Rika now.... i want to see #3 now ! ;d |
| Plot kicked in and will end in two more episodes... @Kanon-kun: loving your avatar :D |
| Dunno whats going on here Oo But Re(i)na seems to be a bit crazy in this episode, I wonder why... Definitely liked this episode :D |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| omg....this girl can't stay alive for **** O.o when you go through this infinite nightmare and manage to cet out of this crazy loop,at least walk on your god damn lane when you're riding a bike O.o this was plain dumb,and it annoyed the hell out of me xD i fail to see wth s so perfect about this world,there's no keiichi,no irie,okonogi :(,everything will be flooded in a year,rika looks lonely like hell,and ofcourse she doesn't get along with satoko :( i hate this world,sorry : 5/5 for the interesting concept though :)...although i am very pissed that rika has to go through her loop again :( |

| My question is, where the hell is Hanyuu? |
| What the ... ? Ok so this season takes place between the first and Kai ? Then why does she know about Takano ? Why did she say " to enjoy her life now" ? |
| Wow..This arc is really interesting..And it has been a while since i saw Rena's crazy face..Still scary..I wonder what will happen.. |
 |
| What a seemingly peaceful world. Satoko and Rika not being friends is odd. Rena's face just scared the hell out of me because it was unexpected. O_O |
| I can tell I'm going to love this OVA. Haha I know because of Rena reaction about the "mutilated corpse incident." I got a kick out of that. |
 |
| DO NOT WANT. Give back the old world full of tragedies please! TT__TT I don't really care about Satoshi, but I want my Irie and Keiichi! ;___; |
 |
| Now what is going on? Omg I guess I will just have to keep watching |
| Wow that was a really stupid way to die. This should get mind blowing real soon. Looking forward to it Keichii-kun....? not there? WHAT SICK, TWISTED, WORLD IS THIS?! D8 |

| This is definitely an interesting plot-line to follow, what with the fact the dam is actually going to built. I find it weird we haven't seen Hanyuu yet but I assume that has something to do with this alternative world Rika finds herself in. |
 |
| yay suspense arc Ironic how as soon as Rika gets cocky, she gets hit by a car and everything resets. hmm the prospect of a different world is certainly interesting I wonder what that last bit meant, where "Reina" gets all alarmed |
 |
| Wow this is way different than the first episode with fan service and silliness. Looks this short third season is worth watching! |
 |
| I think shes going to commit suicide to get into another reality. Even if theres no enemy to fight, and it is technically a "perfect" world, Keichi is not there, Rika is not friends with Satako, and Hinamizawa is going to be flooded. I would not be happy with a world like that. |
| poor Rika i cant believe she was hit by a car! that was awesome though... this world is relly weird... i miss Keichii XP |
 |
| this was a really good episode, setting the tone for a good arc!!! >.< |
| going off of what demonic-light said and my question is why Keiichi isn't in Hinamizawa. did he change his ways or maybe he is still harming kids in the city ? |
 |
| what just happened!?!? Damn you Rika with your wild bike moment, why you have to screw up the good life?? X( Now she is in a new bizarre world where everything is twisted upside down. gonna keep watching to get to the bottom of this. |
| Rena scared me so much D; There's definitely some kind of murder that they tried to cover up.. And I love you Rika, but only if you didn't get all happy with your bike saadface :( |
| This is weird how are they going to tell the story only in 5 episodes, damn this can be interesting! |
 |
| man the death accident is kinda lame, seriously Rika you didn't think a truck could hit you at that speed?? this new world. somethings not right, i mean everything seems perfect, too perfect if i may add. Takano, and Irie missing, no tokyo to manipulate behind the scenes, Houjou and Sonozaki families had a truce, there were a few protest but no riots. Rena reverts to her old name Reina, Keiichi and Rika's relationship returns from the original start, no keiichi, Satoshi is alive and well. wtf is happening!?!?!?!?! this is too good to be true. and yeah when Reina made that face it LITERALLY shiver my skin for some reason O_____O cannot wait for more of this!!!!!!! |
| After the first episode I expected another funny episode but now it's so mysterious again °__° Reina was so creepy! I don't like how Rika and Satoko are not close in this arc ._____. And why doesn't Rika talk to Hanyuu when she's back in June '83? Or is Hanyuu gone? Auauau~ ;__; |
長い夢見る心はそう永遠で ♥ |
| Could all of this have something to do with the end of Kai ? Meaning , that lady that went to little Takano and stopped her parents from dying changed the future ? |
| Rena scared the shit out of me. Maybe there was a dismemberment murder after all but different victim this time...O_O |
 "And if, there were so many people in the world, there had to be someone living an interesting life that wasn't ordinary. I was sure of it. Why wasn't that person me?" - The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Part V [/center] |
| The impression that I'm getting from this new world is that Hinamizawa Syndrome simply never existed. Of course, it could be that it was never researched by Takano Hinami so it still exists but is not known about... but I suspect that it just doesn't exist because otherwise you'd think at least one of the mysterious death incidents would have still occurred, namely Satoko killing her parents. It's so hard to hear the difference between "Reina" and "Rena", would it be that much more obvious to a Japanese speaker? This world is free of tragedy yet it doesn't seem like a happy place overall, I hope Rika can end up back in the Matsuribayashi world with her friends or else all the events of Kai will just be futile for her... |
PrinceJ said: i was literally scared when rena was like "DISMEMBERMENT MURDER!!" Yeah me too. |
 |
| I wonder if Rika will be able to find Hanyuu in this world? If so there's a chance. And Reina has yet again... Scared the shit out of me. |
 |
| Reina was just wanting to take Rika home. But umm episode was ok? Not sure what to rate. It may be a "perfect" ending? Guess have to find out... |
| Silly Rika. Keep your eyes on the road! |
| Wow Shit Happens ! I wonder if she has a task or if she will live in peace. |
