Rena trying to take Hanyuu home 3 times is also pure win.

The way Rika is telling everybody about the current situation is certainly...unexpected. I have a craving to read more manga now.

I was thinking the same thing, how will they react to it being real rather then being ideas for her manga. I'm sure it'll end well though.

And Takagi's plan... interesting.

I thought it was great, lots of funny bits mixed in with the serious plot. Pretty different from the rest of the show.

And Rena taking home Hanyuu was awesome.

Haha.,.yes this episode was full of kawaii-ness, hauu-ing, and taking home-ness?
The idea of explaining the plot through an idea for manga is pretty smart but I still wonder how its gonna go through. Will they realize it wasn't for a manga but for the future?
This really makes me want to watch the next episode.

I don't know if saying "this is the last time" was really necessary, especially without any real explanation as why it'd be the last time when it's been done so many times now already.

It's nitpicky, especially since, early on, I didn't really care how the higurashi universe "works", but it's become more important in season 2.

if you're referring to what i think you're referring to, i assumed she was saying it because her power ran out and she can't reset any more, making this their last chance.

Ok, although i liked this episode, there were some mistakes in it.
When Rika-chama talks with ghost form Hanyuu in episode 18, they're talking about Takano and how they have to have everyone's strong will to defeat her.
But in the second half of the 19th episode when Rika-chama talks with materialized Hanyuu, she told her that she didn't remember anything about Takano and also Hanyuu said that she remembered everything when she saw Takano's face.
What do you think about this ? It's disappointing to see this kind of mistake in higurashi...

That's a mistake on the anime's part, making you think that Rika was already reborn. When she wasn't.

Kakera Musubi took place in between worlds (that blue place) she knew Takano was behind it all because she wasn't reborn yet. When she's reborn she loses her memories.

The usual light-hearted setup episode we always have heading into story arcs in Higurashi and I loved it.

Hanyuu stole the show in this ep and things are really heating up judging by the ending.

Hanyu is alive somehow, fascinating. I can't wait to see if they manage to emerge victorious this time or if they come up just a little bit short like last time.

This episode was pretty boring. It feels like things are moving super slow in this arc so I hope that means this arc is gonna be the arc that Rika wins. Rena saying she wanted to take Hanyuu was cute though.

yeah i just got that now, i was like wait, now Hanyuu is solid and alive and their and Rika forgot stuff, so you have to remember the part about the collapsing time to get it, that they wont show up until later and they did

I'm not 100% sure that hes pervy, he could just be obsessive with making them happy so he acts all cheery around them and comes off as pervy when hes trying to be flattering, since he knows that Satoko has the virus. He doesnt act like that when hes alone so maybe he isnt

Hah... In this world, it appears like Rika will be getting some unexpected help from his cop friend as well! All's well!!
Heh? I thought for sure that weird woman wanted to build a bio-weopen. Mion was right instead! xD ....I might still be right though ^^
Hanyuu's certainly the cutest loli of the show... Damn that Keiichi! He's surrounded by cuties!! I swear this anime could make an awesome harem as well!!

LOL! Those were obviously *****!! Who couldn't possibly figure it out? :3
So Hanyuu-sama was actually a god? I thought she was merely some reincarnated spirit(of Oyashiro) with some weird powers!

Seriously Rena + Hanyuu is amazing. Seems that Akazaka will be getting involved to help Rika as well. Interesting way for Rika to try to think of ways to take Takano down though.

I loved the scene as Rika forced Hanyuu to say that she wants to join the club, on her own.

they should have introduced Hanyuu earlier as a visible character for everybody.

Well I don't know about you guys but personally I would be very curious about Hanyuus horns the first time I saw here, it would definitely be top one of the list of question to ask her =P

Rena trying to run away with her all the time was just pure win as well xD
And what's up with her bondage ties?
Laughed so hard when I saw that :P

Loved the cute beginning <3

But some part about Rika, Hanyuu and the timeloops still confuses me.
First of all the scene where Hanyuu "declared war" to Takano. That must have been in 1978 or so, when the project startet (it seemed like it was Takanos first time in Hinamizawa), but Hanyuu seemed to already know she is evil, so why did she forget then ? Or have I misunderstood something?
Also how come Rika didnt know beforehand that Hanyuu would come to school (it seemed that way when she said she herself was surprised about it), arent they always together? And how come Hanyuu remembered the necessity of her taking action but not why and against what (Takano). Seems a bit odd to me. But maybe I got it wrong ^^
I probably regret this post by now.
