Is it just for me or animation quality really dropped? Weird body proportions, strange physics, etc.

Damn, this anime goes for "OMG, ze happy end". That's so not like higurashi.
And now they protrayed them all as super heroes or something.

At least they could have killed few badguys or something...

Next episode is called bloody battle, so I hope it will really be bloody.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL is my review over this episode.

It did not make any sense at all towards the end XD.
So, the yaimanu got close to Shion and that other guy im presuming with their guns, wacked Shion and that other guy or something unconcious... This makes sense.

BUT Akasaka pops up from his disguise and saves Rika and his ass by bashing the crap out of the yaimanu with out of nowhere martial arts super power (with LOL animation by the way, i was laughing so hard) managing to make all of them, up to 30 yaimanu might i add as Rika said, which were supposedly also armed with guns, run away scared shitless from Akasaka's super special awesome martial arts???

Whatever, *onto next ep!~

i wanted to see batman sound effects like bang, pow ,pang !!! by far the worst episode of the series !! Its episodes like this that made higurashi lose its status.(atleast in my eyes).I knew that evryone must survive in the last arc but make it like this.... what they were thinking ????!?!? At least the last episode wasnt so bad.

Akasaka destroyed with his martial arts skills, but weren't the Yaimanu supposed to have guns? Oh well, whatever works, also it seems Satoshi is alive making me wonder who was the blonde in the trash bag in the beginning of that one episode in the first series.

One of the worst episodes yet. Shion appears on the scene all of a sudden and she just takes it al for granted? Random police officer takes out an army of Yamainu with a punch and a kick? Miracles? Don't give me that shit. The ending better make up for this.

Loved the episode, but I can relate to the people disliking it a little bit. First it does seem out of character to have higurashi to have so much physical action in a short amount of time. Just having the fight seemed kind of out of character, it seems like an unusually happy time, right? But where have all the arcs with happy moments led us too? No need for an answer. Though I do sort of wish that higurashi had retained the more mental warfare that was prominent in the first series, having a bit of fighting is good every once in a while, especially if it makes you smile and want to say PWNED!

NOO!! Really NO! That guy in the trash bag isn't Satoshi! It's their uncle. Please be enlightened! ^_^




Btw, I've seen Akasaka's page in MAL. And yeah, in his younger days, he really looks like Maebara Keiichi! Is it just a coincidence?! I would likely be happy if this will have a twist and something like:


Here's he's link: http://myanimelist.net/character.php?id=7183


EDIT: It's Rina btw, not Satoshi's uncle (ep9 season1), it's the fault of Studio DEEN, in the DVD release, it's corrected with the hair color pink.

HELL YEAAHH ! I loved this episode, it kept me on the edge of my seat and even though it did feel a little fast paced, thats quite alright, I loved it to bits.

Akaska is a fucking ninja ! He was fucking amazing, yay ! This excites me, but at the same time I shouldn't have my hopes up too high ! T__T; but still, it's rather hard to NOT be happy and hope for a happy ending !

SATOSHI KUN IS ALIVVE ! 11 ! : 0!

This makes me happy for Shion <3 NEXT EPISODE PLZ !

It's about time things get rolling. Very exciting fast paced episode. The ending really makes me look forward to the next. Takano's team was really prepared though. Putting a wire on Irie and everything. They really thought ahead. I was so happy when Akashaka showed up. He really kicked ass. I mean, it was him against like 20 people or something. It's good they have him on their side.

Oh so manly! xD
He's one hell of a cop.

This was certainly my favorite episode, so far though. There's still 2 more left, so who knows.
This episode shows that the Yamainu are just all a bunch of pussies.
K1's and Rika's side, on the other hand, are all about kicking ass, and are really amazing. Big win!

At this rate, Rika's fate seems pretty favorable to me. ¦3

pretty good episode, especially that counter attack at the end, when asasaka came, and just started beating the crap out of those guys, plus shion and kansai with the guns.
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures

Akasaka is one badass!! My god that was awesome. btw, what a tense first ten minutes of the episode!! I was so scared for everyone. Irie fell down a freaking cliff and survived?! These men are tenacious.

btw Satoshi's alive?? What the heck has he been doing all this time?

Loved hardcore Akasaka and his falcon-punch trough the windshield :P

Where really scared that Shion died there for a while, hopefully this arc will end without any deaths =)
Besides Miyon that is, really hope she get what she deserves -.-

Looks like Satoshi is still alive too, for some reason I'm not surprised. I never really thought he was it, but I sure hoped he where dead^^
I don't know but I never liked that guy...

For people who's angry/annoyed at the fact that Akasaka is not shot down by a gun...

Rika is sitting right next to him, you wanna risk killing the queen carrier?


Akasaka is awesome... no wonder he's known as police ace back in Tokyo.

Thanks to this episode I do not believe Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni Kai anymore :( Those evil guys would never, never go back 'cause they received several punches from Akasaka, don't tell me they have no guns or guts to use them against one all-of-a-sudden-street-fighter Akasaka...

I mean, I'm happy it turned out not failing and not killing Rika, but I simply do not believe that. Damn :(

A great episode (Shion was the best, how quick she turned from totally clueless to badass Kalashnikov shooter ^^). For a moment there I thought it would all turn out bad, but (for now) it didnt...
2 more to go !

Akasaka was amazing in this episode...although it doesn't make sense that sometimes the Yamainu have guns and sometimes they don't?
And they only had a shotgun and an AK47 in the armory? That's pathetic XD

But SATOSHI LIVES! And thats all that counts.
