| Hurray for Rena arc! :) |
| I like Rena's scary side. It scares me. Wait. I enjoyed scaring myself? What's wrong with myself? |
| I am fucking disappointed. Damn it! So here is what I thought was going to happen: I'll put it in a spoiler because I have a lot to say... *edit* I take all of this back after finishing the series. |

| Scumbag stepmother is scumbag...she needs to die. |
 |
| Rika was so adorable in that Angel Mort costume! ^__^ Nipaaah~ |
| 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. |
| Gah.. It's not cool to have these cute epiosdes before an episode were someone snaps and there's blood everywhere.. Makes me all nervous because I can never really relax while watching this show. |
| Oh Rena will snap and when she does heads will fly! :)\ I'm sorry, but I absolutely hate Shion after the previous arc and I think no matter what she does from now on I'll never forgive her. |
| Rena's time, so is the the answer arc to the very first arc where Kei ended up killing them? Doesn't quite feel like it and also new character. |
 |
| 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. |
| KAWAIIIIII!! ^^ ^(^_^)^ Rika and Satoko were so adorable in their cosplay at that angel restaurant! I definitely would have chased after them too xD lol @ Rena getting all excited seeing them that way hahah That water gun fight between them all was epic , enjoyed that for sure Rina turns out to be crook as well as her co worker , hopefully Rena will take action to in stopping those bastards , poor her ;_; |
| I sympathize more with Rena here in one episode than Shion for 5 episodes (or more, because it kinda connects with the second arc). Tengoku_no_hakai said: I'm sorry, but I absolutely hate Shion after the previous arc and I think no matter what she does from now on I'll never forgive her. I absolutely hated her in the previous arc, but I got soft and enjoyed her in this episode. |

ToG25thBaam said: 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. |
| Rena's arc :D |
| This anime is so good at toying with my emotions, one minute it makes me despise a character, or feel sorry them, or even make them look cute as shit... |
"You either die an Ashita no Joe, or you live long enough to see yourself become a Naruto."  |
| I can't wait to see what Rena does, also the Angel Mort scene with Rika was creepy, they're liked 10 and just look at the angle, Japan's really got problems. |
| "Nothing is sweeter than your smile" |
| Ehhhh didn't really like this episode. Not much happened. So Ritsuko's going to try to blackmail Rena's father? This is gonna get intersting! Well it's nice to see that Rena's getting some much needed developement Ritsuko's got some fat titties I can say that much. 3/5 |

| So is this the answer to the first arc? Or a new question arc? Seems like leaving off the first season on a question arc is kind of a dick move. But we did get a new "future scene" thing at the beginning, so maybe it is. |
| im so cofused didnt shion die? |
| Ugh, I knew it was coming and here it is, a fucking Rena arc *Barfs*. Personally I just really dislike the character, I don't find her *cute* or *creepy*, just annoying. While the episode itself wasn't bad, I did find it hard to enjoy with a character I despise so much starring it. Sadly I feel I might be inclined to drop this a score. Partly because of Rena and partly because I doubt this arc will even be able to hold a candle to the awesomeness that was the last arc, but we'll see. I won't jump the gun just yet with my assumptions, maybe it'll surprise me. Wouldn't be the first time with this show. Oh and it was nice to see Shion again, though it was a bit weird to see her acting like a normal person after that last arc lmao. necronice said: im so cofused didnt shion die? Lol, have you really not caught on yet that most of these arcs aren't in order and that some aren't even part of the same timeline? How are people still confused about this? It should be pretty obvious at this point when we've seen multiple characters die in one arc and then be alive and well in the next one, only to then die again in a different way. I don't really understand how you could be on episode 22 and not get that lol? |
 |
| I dont get why there is an intense hatred for Shion just because of the last arc. If anything, I like her more since the last arc. She had so much pain and strife, between losing Satoshi to ripping her nails off, it is no surprise she went bonkers. I started the series already deciding that Rena is my fav character, and have been waiting for this arc. Even though so far I am enjoying this arc, Shion somehow managed to become my fav character, I would like to see if this arc can change that perspective. |
 |
| She gonna die. |
| Rika didn't even mind that penalty game xD Rena is going to absolutely destroy Rina now I bet |
| Its feels so surreal watching the past arcs murder victims and brutal killers acting out they're everyday lives happily. Its like everything never happened and I just nightmare'd the it. XD |
| Is that Rina Rena's mother or something |
| Sasuke or Kaneki I can't decide |
Why do we have to live in such a cruel world?  |
| Rena serial killer mode activate. |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Go, Rena! Fighto! Also, when Shion appeared, even though it was her funny/happy side, I wanted to curse cuz I fucking hate her guts |
 |
| What a small world. Satoko's uncle happens to be sleeping with Rena's stepmom. Also, Rena has lot of mommy trust issues. Poor Rena. Guess that's why some deaths are unavoidable. It is a complicated web after all. And I hate badger schemers. Didn't know there was a term for it. |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| Leave it to this show to have brutal torture in one episode and in the next we have an adorable water gun fight and the girls wearing cute dresses. This is why I freaking love this show. Finally we're gonna learn more about Rena. She's the only one from the main group who we don't know much about. Dammit I didn't want to see Satoko's shitty uncle again. |
<Something> |
Can't wait to see Rena's arc, she's a lovely cute demonic chick! :$ |
 |
| So, it's Rena's time! This is getting interesting. I feel bad for her father tho, I wonder what will Rena do to Rina? It was nice to see Kasai again! |

| Time to Ryuugu Rena arc. |
  |
| Not really a fan of the fan service, but the rest of this episode was great. The water gun fight was one of those essential moments that lets the horror work, in my opinion. The happy normal provides a great contrast when things either fall apart or when you realize that the normal is just a shell, like candy coating a cockroach. Also, I must say I really like Rena. Gotta love girls that "are made of sugar and spice, and everything SLICE." |
| Every day you can read a book or watch some anime is a good day! |
| oh no... Rena is about to go yandere mode, isn't she? |
 |
| I hope Rena kills Ritsuko, she really deserves to die. |
 |
| honestly i’ve never wanted a character to die as much as that Rina bitch. |
 |
| please rena go psycho please rena go psycho also, ik rena will do something crazy to that rina girl but it's cute how she's protective over her dad. |
