| Really good episode with a nice setting for the first episode of the arc of satoko, it's been some time with higurashi for me so there's a lot of things I've forgotten, I'll look forward to see where this arc takes us (madness mostly I think) In France we have Sassa/Totoche for the surname of Satoshi (Nii-Nii) and I think that's fucking beautiful Also seing others people being dead mad about this is kinda funny |

I am actually surprised they havent lost their minds with the fact that every kid of every age shares the same classroom. Lol, none of you (except the one person who posted it) even knew this tidbit. It was lost on you regardless of the localization. Get off your high horse. Learn to read. I admit that I didnt know this a few post before that. Even without that she still fucked up. So fuck off. |

You can't complain that a bit of trivia was lost in the localization when it was lost on almost everyone either way. "Nii-nii" or "Big Brudder," you weren't getting this, yet you blame the localization. There was no way to get this across unless you actually know the language. It's not like it's even relevant to the plot. You also made this garbage post: Love the hypocrisy. And before you hit me with "AMerIcaN Isn'T a RAcE," it's the same thought process. |

You are mad about that? Pal, piss off. Yes I wouldnt know that nii nii could mean anything else. That doesnt change that any cultural significance or meaning wasnt lost. I, and so many others may have not known. That doesnt mean thaat people that could get it dont exist. Just like there are many japanese words, celebrations and customs people can pick up easier than others. So if you are trying to make a case for one fucking word that people here didnt know then piss off. Go to her tweet and join her at laughing at us weebs and old fans. And btw yes it is relevant to the plot with or without any hidden meaning. |

| Tataridamashi-hen, another question arc begin.. Keiichi have some good quality time with Satoko, that's cute Mentioned about Satoshi and introduction for Irie. Yap the iconic baseball scene similar to the OG. Fcking Teppei is here 🤬 |
 |
| Just learn to watch raw so you don't need to deal with shitty subs. I've given up on translation quality a long time ago. Official translators are often paid for their speed, not quality.Also, their audience is generally the average "American" who knows nothing about other cultures. |
 |
| Everyone in the discussion is on edge, just like Tatarigoroshi, I'm liking it |

If you can't, then get down from your high horse and apologize these gentlemen your ignorant and rude behaviour. Florete said: You also made this garbage post: Love the hypocrisy.

Opticflash said: Hulio said: How many resets you need until you'll believe that? There's already been 3 so the odds are, yes. I see no point in this to be honest. Just from that answer I‘m guessing you didn’t see the 2006 anime & its second season or read the VN. I’d highly recommend doing so, cause there is actually a point in this (and it’s way more enjoyable if you’ve seen the old show, cause this is more of a sequel than a remake). There are multiple resets in the og too tho, so if you don’t like shows that deal with time loops or “resets”, Higurashi won’t be your cup of tea. |
There's no possible way you can steal my heart    I want to drown in this sweet Melancholy |

| really looking forward to this arc, it’s one of my favorites in the og version so i’m interested in how it’ll play out this time around |

| I don't see a problem with the translation. Satoko is a small child and "nii nii" is supposed to be a cute way for her to refer her brother. There's not much an english translation can do there besides just keep "nii nii," which is lazy. My biggest gripe are the weird pedo jokes in this show and playing it off as if it's some cute and adorable thing. I know the original made Irie a pedo, too, but I would think in 2020 they wouldn't do that again (not that it was ok back then either). |

It is like instead of Satoko it is Hulk Hogan that is talking. And lets not even talk about Big Shishter which is even worse but if we are lucky wont see much. Bro bro, blother, brota or any other way to make brother sound like a child is saying it. Big Brudder isnt that. Also, Irie isnt a pedo never was, he is messing around. And all jokes are welcomed. |

Do you know what the word "hypocrisy" means? Because what you just described isn't hypocrisy. Yes it was, not necessarily to only your last response on the argument, but the previous ones too. If it doesn't make sense and you don't remember the full argument you were just having, you'd ought to reread what you wrote yourself and as a response to what. If it still doesn't make any sense, I'd recommend taking a heed of the suggestion ssjokg gave to you. What comes to hypocrisy, you're hypocritically calling ssjokg a hypocrite which makes you a hypocrite yourself. For reference: Wikipedia says "Hypocrisy is the practice of engaging in the same behavior or activity for which one criticizes another " and dictionary says "The practice of claiming to have higher standards or more noble beliefs than is the case." However I won't blame you for not realizing this, as the most intricate thing to find in this world is. Realizing your own erroneous contemplation. |

| What bothers me since some time now, how can the time reset for Keiichi when he didn't die in the previous arc? It's weird! Lol I didn't expect Satoko's uncle to make me feel really disguisted. back in the days anime apparently was more pedo influenced. |

Lol I didn't expect Satoko's uncle to make me feel really disguisted. back in the days anime apparently was more pedo influenced. But it isnt Keicihi's death that "resets time". In Re:Zero only one person has to die for the loop to happen right? And it is more like lopping back into a different timeline. The world from the previous two arc continue existing. |

Lol I didn't expect Satoko's uncle to make me feel really disguisted. back in the days anime apparently was more pedo influenced. The time reset has nothing to do with Keiichi at all. Neither in the original nor in this version. That Keiichi died was only a result of one of the fragments. There is only one character that has knowledge of all the fragments with also the key for "Steins;Gate" I mean perfect world. And it was already shown in episode 2 of Higurashi no naku koro ni Gou |
 |
| So, I don't remember much about this arc except Satoshi. Also, what was different from Deen in this episode? |

SouthRzVa said: Satoko is being sexually abused by her uncle, isn't she? Goddamn, can someone give me a fucking bat, please? Overall, it was a very decent episode. Wasn't boring as the first episodes from the previous arcs since this one provided more info about the characters' backgrounds and personally speaking, the idea of making Keiichi and Satoko get closer by having them forming a sort of "brother-sister" bond is pretty nice. The lolicon jokes were kinda cringey tho. Especially considering how the episode concluded. No, but since it's Hojo Teppei I wouldn't be surprised if his behavior towards Satoko included that. He's one of the biggest pieces of shit in the entire story after all. You mean Irie? Yeah, he does that sometimes. Him making Keiichi promise what he promised proves he's a good person at his core though. |

Well, considering the dude's "aura" and the shot of him and Satoko in the ED, it would be hard not to believe he's abusing the poor girl in that particular sense. Yeah, I have read here that many people like his character. Guess it just wasn't the best of character introductions then... |

Yeah, I have read here that many people like his character. Guess it just wasn't the best of character introductions then... Yeah, I thought you noticed that shot. And from what I can read from some of the VN readers he would've raped Satoko if she was older anyway. It's still part of his character, justnot the part I like about him. Unfortunately Irie isn't the only character in the series that can give off huge pedo vibes. |
|
| One NEE-PAH a day keeps the sadness away! Satoko is cute and very sweer though but goodbye to that in next episodes.... |
| B O C C H I S W E E P |
| more "nipa~" !!! Satoko so cute! protecc her! 5/5. |
 |
| Satoko and Keichi's siblinglike relationship is really sweet. Protect her at all cost Maebara Keichi. |
 |
| The Satoko arc....this isn't going to be pleasant. |

I guess they figured it's a childlike way to say brother, but it's really silly. |
 |
| I loved the wholesome Satoko and Keiichi moments. I don't remember her uncle showing up so soon though... It's been years since I've seen the original Higurashi, so maybe I'm remembering that wrong? |
|
| I was getting some rape vibes at the end there o.o, But yeah its always a treat to see shion and her luscious bouncy plump growing breasts. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| At first, I thought Teppei was Satoshi. He turned out to be Satoko's uncle after all. I didn't like the implication of the last part. I hope I'm wrong in my interpretation. I'm amazed by their bentos. I'm really impressed with how Japanese people make the effort with their lunch boxes. I don't think I'd have enough time to spare decorating my food though. |

 She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did! |
