Timz0r said: I honesty don't like this. It feels like it's just some arcs mashed together and call it a day. Technically speaking you could argue it's something new yeah, but it's also not. It's just being a bit lazy. The animation is also kinda crappy. It's not like Passione has ruined something fun before with their crappy CGI. If I would rate it now, I'd give it a dissapointing but a honest 4/10 or so. *shrug* Exactly! And it seems Ryu just lied to both parts so everyone will watch it :( |
WaifuMaster17 said: This episode was so freaking scary that it's gives me shivers. The monologue was eerie and Rena was creepy and scary at same time. Unlike some of horror genre anime,Higurashi is actually scary like my own nightmares... I am having scary doubts about next episode... My hands are shaking. Maybe you should not watch this one.... |
| This episode was just average to me. The main highlights for me were Rena's lavender-colored stares/glares and yet I still though the original did better cause the tension and tone of that show was better established especially for that scene in particular. The OP is pretty good, though. |

That's what I think, pretty sure other people have different reasons for being interested in Rena's voice.why are people interested in Rena's voice? I do not understand. |

Bernkasten said: My god, you people are so ridiculous. Did you even watch the episode? Tomitake disappeared! That's a massive change that will have unpredictable consequences. This new anime is clearly a standalone sequel that can be enjoyed by newcomers, but also by old viewers who expect new developments. If you don't understand how significant this change with Tomitake is, you should read the VN. They won't listen to you anyway. new bad, old good. |

| Old usoda was creepier :( The creepy eyes just reminded me of the 2016 Higurashi TV Drama :( Ooishi got skin care now :) hahahaha ANGEL MORT BANZAI <3<3<3 |
 |
| Good news first. The moment Ooishi came in and started talking I couldn't stop laughing for some reason, man he sounds exactly the same as he used to. Also those Rena's eyes post-uso da scene were pretty well done, liked that touch. And how some people already pointed out, Chie looks good ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) However.. The Uso da scene overall just felt forced, and the face she made was copied from the Manga version to which I always cringed a bit about. Not good. Okey there has been a few "minor" (by script) differences, but so far this just feels like a bad remake of Deen (how ever easy or hard that would be), thus far the best episode for me has been the Pilot. If for nothing else, I hope the community can come together and agree that at least Deen did the cars better. |
         Intelligent gets through situations which wise avoids. |
| awwwwwwwwwwwwwww jeez. They kinda fucked up the uso da scene. That's one thing DEEN can have cuz they nailed it. Here it's just kinda goofy. |

And yes, I wish I had the time to play video games these days. Otherwise I would. But we're now talking about THIS episode and for now I honesty don't like this quite lazy content for now.

| This is the point where the show is starting to explode. That "USO DA" from Rena says it all as she's creeping up on Keichii. The DAY of June 22 is finally here and I am ready to be tormented by this show next episode. It's ON!!! |

GreenPanda56 said: I watched the orginal along time ago and loved it but honestly I cant remember much about it from the top of my head. I was waiting until episode 3 to ask so should I rewatch the original first or do we reckon this version has enough content to jog the memory? So far there's only been minor differences sooooo yesssss buuuuut we don't know what exactly they'll do with the story past the first arc. |

| Rena seems to be going bonkers. Did anyone else notice the fact that she was in the background when Keiichi was looking at Takano and Tomitake? Now they're BOTH missing. I'm calling it now, she's either a kidnapper or a murderer! |
 |
| I can't wait for next week! |

| I'm in love with this version of Higurashi and I absolutely love how they handled the "USO DA!" I had chills all throughout the episode. Also, something is very off with Tomitake and Takano in this version... Interesting how Ooishi was the one to deliver the curse talk and not them. |

You might look up what the word 'dissapear' all can mean: My usage of dissapear is correct. Go back to school if you wanna be funny. Oh wait... That virus thing. Right. |

| The show is taking a slower pace this time, though part of that may have to do with the eventual divergence from the original story arc. Overall, I think the slower pace is probably a good thing. It will make the first few episodes a little more boring, but moving at a slower pace will probably let them build the tension a little more organically than they did in the original series. I agree that the Uso-da specifically was better executed in the original, but the "I'm trying so hard" scene right after made up for it. Also, Rena creeping up on Keiichi's room was great. |

random_weirdo said: I neither loved it nor hated this episode. It had its good things and its bad things. I mostly like the pacing they're having, letting the story breathe, developing events more naturally and building the creepiness slowly. When you compare to the OG anime, whose second episode is covered in episodes 2 and 3 of this anime, it shows. I agree with everyone saying that Ooishi looks freaking weird. I read someone above saying he looks just like in the VNs... lol. In the VNs, Ooishi is an old, wrinkled man. In this anime, he looks like he visited the Botox shop right before dropping by Hinamizawa. The Usoda scene fell flat for me. This is one of the few instances where I didn't like the pacing. The music, the creepiness and the buildup in the OG anime are a hundred light years ahead from the current version (yes, it's a reference, I know light years are a measure of time haha). But I like that they gave Rena a creepy face, maybe they're going to recapture the OG anime's creepy faces? I can only dream, since that was one of my favourite aspects. They made up for the Usoda scene with the final scene, though. That eye in the end captures all the creepiness that the Usoda scene should have had. And also Keiichi's dad has a face! "I don't know what to think anymore" sums up me right about now, I'm with you all these little subtle changes REALLLLY does show someone is pulling the strings even though... |

random_weirdo said: I don't want to be funny and I don't see the need for the uncalled-for sass. Your usage of the word "disappear" is correct for the current story we're seeing, but not correct for Now you're taking things literally and nitpicking with a minor detail that over time won't matter because decomposition is a thing. I'm sure you get what I meant... |

| I am so in love with Mai Nakahara's performance. I had never heard her with that kind of voice before, so when Rena changed her voice in the first episode and I immediately recognized her, I was very impressed. And it's really unsettling how Rena's cute voice goes completely away when she gets serious, like when she was talking to Mion or when she went full crazy with Keiichi. That new info about her... man, she scares the hell out of me xD. And the final part of the episode happens on the 22nd, date specifically marked on the ED so... shit. One week to find out if anything happens. The tension is killing me but I'm enjoying this show so much. |
| Things seem to be playing the same as before except -Keichi not talking with takano and tomitake at the end of festival -Both of them are missing -Rena acting differently ESPECIALLY -their usoda dialogue, when she was talking about having worked hard for the sake of her happiness all this time, which didn't happen before and tbh neither keichi nor the audience have any idea what she meant there but timelooping Rena theory is looking more and more probable. |
random_weirdo said: gaussian_ said: But...light-years are a measure of distance, not time. Oops! I guess my brain momentarily short-circuited, because I was thinking of distance when I wrote that. Stupid brain :( Already corrected it in my post to avoid further confusion. Up-mixes like that happen to us all. |
