belial said: hmm... surprising.. I was expecting them to explain the last scene of this arc [when Shion kills Kei]. I mean, after all this and after knowing that Shion got out of there like that, I was expecting something less logical for the 'corpe' of Shion outside the hospital than to the killing of Kei.
I mean, I couldn't explain the 'Shion's body' dead in from of the hospital, but I though Shion could had get Mion's body back so she could fake her own death and remain alive.
Even if what you said up there it's true ... there's a big BUG on this story, when she was getting back to her room she was with Mion's clothes, but at ep 8 she's dead with SHION's clothes. Unless someone changed her clothes after she died, this is a bug on the story, and there was no point on changing her clothes.
they could have left Shion's body the mistery, and end this ep with her killing Kei. Shion's body could have been explained with many possible explanations, Shion's killing Kei... hallucination sounds like a lame excuse =XXX
Edit:
Ohh .. and why did she let Kei alive and then decided to kill him? What was that part on the hospital supposed to mean when Shion is alone 'hallucinating'? Was the dough of the curse? as Mion told her no one on the village was doing it, she was getting afraid of the curse?
"I can't be here anymore" <- this would sound right if her death was suicide, but she fell, so it's not like she wanted to die =x
"I did it in time" .. what? convinced herself that 4 ppl had to die from the Curse? since when was there a time limit? isn't this one a bit off, no really explanation why the hell whould she say this
"Praise me Satoshi-kun" <- bleh, this was not the reason to kill Kei, Mion was already dead, so killing Kei for revenge would be pretty pointless.
Oishi: "We found the bodys of every single person who disappeared in that well" <- Does this mean they found Satoshi there too? Mion could have been lying to Shion back there. I would believe more in this than Satoshi being killed by someone else than the 3 family's o.O
Looking at the end of ep 8, it does look like Mion, the blood, the clothes, though she talks like she is Shion and Mion would never kill Kei [I think o.O], and even if it was Mion, there was still no reason to kill him =X
I am definitely too late for this explanation, but oh well...
1. That whole thing with the clothes doesn't really matter, as this isn't just a retelling of watanagashi-hen from Shion's perspective. There are some small differences that show enough to conclude that this should be considered a completely separate arc from Watanagashi-hen that just plays out similiarly.
2. Shion killed Keiichi because she was being driven insane by Oyashiro-Sama's curse, so at this point it wasn't about revenge, just about feeding the demon within herself.
3. Shion also thought, as a result of her insaneness, that Oyashiro-Sama was following her around, and that he was eventually going to kill her. This means that when she said "I made it on time!" She meant that she managed to kill Keiichi before she herself was killed.
You know, this is why I really don't like the Higurashi anime, it just leaves out large pieces of information that are necessary to understand what the hell is going on. Although, Kai may be better than this series, I don't think I can live with watching it after seeing how much they have mangled the first six arcs from the game, and they seriously have mangled it. I remember when I first watched this series after I finished the game, and I was shocked when they had quite literally completely cut out several hours of content, including some truly vital explanations for the towns history and the character motives.
Not to mention the fact that about 60-70% of the game is just the Main Character's inner dialogue, which just does not go well with anime. |
