TowardsTheStars said: Awesome stuff, Loved the first-person view; made me engaged. I wasn't thrilled with it, but that was just me, I like to be able to see the characters I'm watching, it would have given me a better look at how she was when she was alive if I'd been able to see her face..... but it was ok, not unbearable. |
 |
| So they did her in eh? Damn that was one horrible way to go. When she became a ghost, she should have haunted their asses and killed them! For REVENGE! |

GuiltyKing said: I'm disgusted by those elders who stole Yuuko's life away from her. Sacrificing a young girl who helps people, who dedicates her life to those in need... I felt so fucking mad while watching their hypocritical bullshit. Shadow Yuuko's hate is more than justified. I *completely* understand her. Despite being a sad episode I can't but admit that it was brilliantly done. Next week can't come fast enough. 5/5 After the anime ends, reading its manga version is a given. I completely agree with you- I thought about dropping the series early on because she kept throwing herself at Teichi.... It's notr that I had a problem with it much, it just seemed that that was all she had on her mind: Molesting him. But now it feels like she was using that as a way to distract herself (and him) from her sadness. Even though she kept forgetting her sadness she still knew deep down that there was something she did not want to remember. She didn't just want to distract herself, she also couldn't bare herself (shadow Yuuko's) being so hateful, resentful, frightened and so on..... Most people I know don't want to acknowledge their darker thoughts and feelings (Like me). I wonder if it was worth it? Did Asa survive? It might be some comfort to Yuuko to know her friend made it through. I think she was justified in her feelings for those who killed her, but also, I think she was right to not want to blame Asa. She was a victim too, and if she did survive she might very well have felt responsible for what happened to Yuuko. Also, where were Yuuko's and Yukariko's parents? I didn't remember them mentioned in this episode one way or another. Had they died from the plague already? Maybe I missed it.... BULLDOG266 said: So they did her in eh? Damn that was one horrible way to go. When she became a ghost, she should have haunted their asses and killed them! For REVENGE! I wish she could have, but she couldn't have. Remember in episode 9- she couldn't leave the school grounds. And I doubt they'd have gone back. They likely would have: #1: Snapped out of it and had forgotten what they all did to her since they were insane. #2: Snapped out of it afterward, and been to frightened of punishment to say/do anything and in turn been too afraid to return. #3: Also, if they were as superstitious as they seemed; they might have been afraid of her revenge. #4: Maybe the plague killed them all right after in the most painful way. Either way she couldn't have harmed them unless they were on the grounds again... unfortunately. |

| Captivating episode. It felt like only 5 minutes had passed. It must have been horrific to be in Yuuko's shoes during the sacrifice. Even I was terrified as an onlooker. To have a broken leg and be forced to live your final moments in a cold, dark place with no hope of rescue. No wonder she cast those memories aside. |
| WOW ,deffinantly the best episode sofar! it revealed alot! 5/5 |
 |
| Fantastic episode. It just goes to show that there's nothing pretty about death. You can glorify it all you want -- protecting your country, sacrificing yourself for loved ones, etc.. But in the end, what's left at the very last moment is probably regret, grief and suffering. |

| I liked the "film showing"-like take on the flashback involving Teiichi as the sole viewer & reenactor. Kirie does kind of resemble her grandmother Yukariko. Yuuko died a horribly slow, painful death as a sudden sacrifice. I wouldn't blame her for snapping near the last moments of her life. |
| okay. i admit that i dont like this anime that much, but omg this episode was amazing. it was made so well. the storyboard writer and director of this episode did a really good job! |
| Wow what an ep. 5/5 Poor Yuuko.. |
 |
| Excellent episode, her memories were so sad :'c |
| I feel like I've been run over by a truck. This was too grim, and made worse because we know that nothing will save her. I still have to think about what my score for this episode will be. Maybe I'll need to watch it again first but I don't really feel like doing that right now. When I think about the first episode, with the playful Yuuko teasing Niiya and Kirie, it is difficult to reconcile the extreme differences within this show. It was incredibly painful to see her death unfold. I'm hoping that somehow, Yuuko can find redemption. |
| I'm afraid I'm with the minority on this one. They had to compress too much into 24 minutes and it shows, felt very rushed especially towards the end. I liked the visual depiction though with sometimes showing Niiya. I'm glad Yuuko at least didn't get raped, she suffered more than enough even without that. 3/5. |
| I was expecting her to be raped and tortured :/ Because one of her flashbacks in one previous episode was she was bondaged. Anyways this is the best episode so far |
| Best episode so far, I was waiting for a story-centered episode like this for a long time, it seems like next episode will be like this too. Sort of sad this was rushed, a 2-episode long flashback would've been mush better, but this is a 12 episodes long show, so I can't really complain. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |

 |
| God damn those fucking elders, ffs in times of panic they shouldn't go crazy like this. They were acting like what those kids were doing in the earlier episode with the red woman. Damn what they did to Yuuko was just messed up, tricking Asa in saying her name. Love the way they portrayed this memory with Niiya seeing and feeling everything through Yuuko's eyes. It sure was depressing though knowing that Yuuko was going to end up like that at the end. On a happier note it was cool seeing Yukarino and Niiya going through a full body experience in Yuuko's body must've been nice lol. |

| I don't know why you all say that Yukariko looks like Kirie, well, she does, but at first I thought it was Yuuko xD |
Ozland said: I don't know why you all say that Yukariko looks like Kirie, well, she does, but at first I thought it was Yuuko xD They look very alike, however I could see where she looked like Kirie, rather than Yuuko to many people. She's drawn slightly differently. I can see that and I'm sure a number of people can. It's subtle, but there are very slight differences between the way Kirie and Yuuko look. And therefore between how Yukariko and Yuuko look. But I don't know how many people actually see the differences. Mainly it's around the eyes that there's the difference. I think there was one other thing different but I can't think of it ATM off the top of my head. |

| The episode was really excelent overall , the story begins to flow well . |
 |
| Spectacular episode. You could really feel the essence of tragedy and pain in this flashback, it is one of the best I have seen in a horror anime. I got the chills. :O |
| I liked this episode a lot, not only because it explained all those mysterious we've seen until now brilliantly, but also for the creative use of first person perspective to tell the story. It was very well animated and really made you feel like a part of the story. Making Teiichi feel it and using him in certain scenes to make us feel was as clever too. Now that Teiichi knows what happened, I'm curious to see how he is going to save our beloved Yuuko out of this situation. |
| And slowly, you come to realize... It's all as it should be... |
| I was gasping at the sacrifice part. I feel sorry for yuuko. TAT I almost cried at the end. I knew this anime have potential and there were some times that I wanted to drop this show, glad i didn't. Awesome direction, animation and the first person view. Empathy at its finest. 5/5 for the episode, raised my score for the series to 9. |
| Really awesome episode. I was beginning to think this show was going downhill after all the weird and frankly pointless last couple of episodes but this episode renewed my interest in this series. I enjoyed the way they told the story; with Teiichi reliving Yuuko's memories. |
| Pretty nice episode. Yuuko was a kind girl and it seemed that her sister liked her allot. What i don't understand is why her corps never was found i mean her sister and Asa should have known where it was why didn't they look for it why was it in that school for 60 years? |
| yeah Yuuko was such a good and kind girl, and yet her life ended like that i was going to decide whether to drop this or not in eps 9, but now will surely see this till the end |
| Wow, intense episode... I really sympathize with Shadow Yuuko.. It's human nature to hate someone who killed you, Yuuko-san shouldn't deny her feelings and instead try to forgive. |
| Great episode, the despair was displayed very well |
| Well that sure was different, being the eyes that is. xD Pretty good episode, must suck to feel everything she felt. Gawd... |
 |
| This episode just further proved that this anime fails because it decided to have comedy and fan service in it. If it was like this the whole way through, it would have been really awesome. |
 |
| a horrible story about crazy people who thought that the victim will bring good luck. sorry for Yuuko, BUT Of course she is also to blame for death. she wanted to save her friend from death, but what can you expect from crazy idiots ? ... nothing or other death. it was obvious. |
 |
| this ep made me sad..no girl deserve that..well except if shes a total bitch. and yuuko so kind hearted |
| Cty Best mid |
| Wow, this episode really impressed me. Just plain awesomeness, I didn't expect the anime to pull off something this great! I didn't expect it to be possible, but Yuuko's death was even crueler than I had expected... I had thought they would kill her on spot as a sacrifice or something, but to leave her alive there to starve to death... so sad =( The first person view was very unique, I really liked the way how they pulled it off :) This anime is climbing up on my rankings with each episode Now I'm looking forward to how they'll cover this in the manga, if at all~ |
 |
| OMG! That epi was one of the bests i ever seen. Yuuko had a horrible and painful death. :/ |
| ... |
| strong fatal frame 2 rip-off... knew it was a sacrifice from flashback hints from ep 2 strong bipolar disorder at the verge of death as well.... women's gonna women |
 |
| Well shit, that was pretty damn sad. I havent felt these feels in a while. |
 |
| wow great ep |
| Well that sucks, dying like that would probably suck though why nobody came to look for her is a mystery to me. Asa and her sister should have known the general area around where she was... anyways was completely wrong, really thought her younger sister would be at fault somehow for her getting sacrificed. |
 |
| I think would be a lot more enjoyable for me if the guy wasn't in the background commenting on every little thing. It was a awesome history and brought a lot of insight but the guy commenting on every little thing was really annoying. |

| Amazing. I know this isn't strictly a horror anime but that was one of the most chilling episodes of anything I've seen in some time! What a cruel way to kill someone. I'm wondering why her body was just left there too and why Asa or her sister didn't try to find her/her corpse later. Maybe it'll be explained though, but if not I probably won't even mind too much :p |
 |
| Interesting. I read the manga before rewatching this. Her sister plays a larger role in the manga. Her role is switched with Asa in the anime. The only thing is the way her sister tricks Yuuko into being sacrificed is much more deliberate and painful. It's told slightly better in the manga, Yuuko's anger is more justified. |
 |
| Was it Yuuko that was actually chosen or was it bc Asa called her name that does make u wonder though But other then that it was a good episode finally get to find out what really happened I wonder what the next episode is going to be like on to the next episode. |
