The storehouse scene is so light-hearted after just reading the VN... think about torture devices and their functions being described to you for over an hour, mixing fiction with japanese history. My stomach really felt like my entrails turned upside down, best moment of Watanagashi's VN imo. There are a few differences, the same differences from Onidamashi, but with a little more screen information. I don't want to give much information, but on ep2 it already reached the point of no return. I still had hope that Rika had acted preemptively on ep3 though. It was a good episode overall, Keiichi comes with the kitty talk instead, and I didn't expect Rika's reaction. However my expectations on the arc's ending are really low. Despite the bad production quality, I liked the turn of events in Onidamashi ep4. Also, I felt Rena's eyes were done badly, but I must say I really like Rika's eyes. I hope they bring up something really, really new to end this arc, because this is the 3rd arc with the similar scenario, it's getting repetitive. Thanks for making that clear to me. It was a theory that really popped up in my mind while reading, and I started laughing. I really wanted to ask someone, and didn't want to wait until Meakashi or Minagoroshi to get it answered. I'm a very slow reader imo. |
Tsukumo_Yuuma said: ssjokg said: I was just reminded how bad Kei-chan is at lying or even playing dumb. Seems like Rika is just done with this shit. Considering this, could it be that the reason she isnt really doing shit to save everyone is because This would explain why she does the bare minimum to save even one person. And she acts as if she doesnt actually know the truth, that she claimed she knew. If they run away with a vehicle then Rika having something to do with their fate is highly unlikely. They only way for Ooishi's story t work is if it was a lie from the villagers and everyone is covering for Rika or someone else. But if people could just believe Rika then she wouldnt have to suffer 100 years of kakera hopping. |
maybe lol i'm really interested to see what will happen |

It's not really a spoiler but if you don't want to clear your confusion about the nails thing don't read |

I haven't seen the trailer in ages so I can't comment on that, but about this getting an answer arc, I feel like the 2nd cour would be one for the entire first cour and there won't be any answer arcs for each questions arcs like in the original. |

Ohh, so it's like a BB gun. I see. ssjokg said: I was just reminded how bad Kei-chan is at lying or even playing dumb. Seems like Rika is just done with this shit. Considering this, could it be that the reason she isnt really doing shit to save everyone is because This would explain why she does the bare minimum to save even one person. She has always been like that though. I mean... ssjokg said: Maybe we are approaching this the wrong way? This isnt Rika. Would make sense why Hanyuu isnt with her and why she is trapped again, as for who would do that Featherine and/or Lambda are obvious answers. Theories aside, I just dont like the color of her scary eyes. Why not just keep them purple or at least make that the primary color? I do agree that the red scary eyes don't look good. It should have been a dark purple like in the original. |

| @ArcueidBestGirl But in Arc 6 she doesnt know everything yet. I dont mean the GHD tho. I mean We dont know if this happens before Bern(as she is in Umineko) is born or after. But either way they could make it so that Bern It is highly unlikely that this isnt Rika but Bern BUT BECAUSE OF THAT, I will go with that for now. EDIt:quotes are fucked so I just mentioned you instead. |
Thanks both for the info :D |

svet said: Keiichi's overreactions make even the scenes that are supposed to be scary seem funny lol...then again maybe it's cause I already watched the previous adaptation that I can find it funny now Unless this gets a second season, the other 2 arcs would probably be condensed to finish off this cour and we'll get the answer arcs for each of the question arcs (?) during the second cour... yea, go play with the ball Keiichi, you gonna die soon anyway, might as well enjoy what little time you have left before you get brutally murdered again This season will be 5 arcs (according to the Blu-rays) so i think it's unlikely that this won't have a second season and only arc 5 (that will be 7 episodes) will be an answer arc (since the answer arcs usually have more episodes in the anime), unless it's as others said and not every question arc will have its own answer arc like always, instead arc 4 and 5 in this season will explain everything somehow. |

| Makes sense. No point in revealing him yet if he's not directly relevant. It was just a theory that popped up in the discussions, I didn't take it seriously. Showing a shadow of him with a bat for me is evidence enough that he was present in the arc.So it was really a mistake from my part. My memories from the anime are tipsy, which can be a good thing since I'm reading the VN's now, but I end up mixing things up like that. So, there's old anime, new anime and VN information all mixed up in my mind at the same time lol. |

EDIt:quotes are fucked so I just mentioned you instead. The thing I have notice with Higurashi and Umineko is that the answers to mysteries have always been right in front of us in plain sight, we just need to interpret it correctly to solve it. I imagine the same will be true with Higurashi Gou as well, which means that the answer shouldn't be over complicated. Well, that's what I hope anyway. Hopefully the anime doesn't cut out so much of the script that the answer is ridiculously hard to find out. |

Considering this, could it be that the reason she isnt really doing shit to save everyone is because This would explain why she does the bare minimum to save even one person. My exact thoughts after I saw this episode. This episode + Umineko allusions in the OP mean my pet theory now is that this Higurashi (aptly named Higurashi: Karma/Destiny) is going to end with Though the latter half of that's certainly just wishful thinking. I heard somewhere(unreliable probably) that we are getting season 2 of Higurashi Gou so Umineko will have to wait. |
|
| I'm loving this so much. All of the little differences from the original Watanagashi -- like Tommy + Takano's fate, Shion acting somewhat differently, Rika snapping, Oyashiro-sama's head crumbling... Some people mentioned that the weird vignette effect lightning in the previous arc might have been which has some interesting implications considering it happened during the phone scene. Also at this point I'm getting the feeling that Rika doesn't know that and instead assumes things happened just as usual. Hence her being deceived. |
Bantarific said: ArcueidBestGirl said: I heard somewhere(unreliable probably) that we are getting season 2 of Higurashi Gou so Umineko will have to wait. Would make sense. They could break the mold and go straight into two short-length answer arcs after (what will presumably be titled) Tatari-damashi, or it'll likely need another season. Looking at the current leaks though, we see that (the presumably named) Tataridamashi-hen will be 5 episodes long, the arc after that will be 4 episodes long, and the last arc for this season will be 7 episodes long. So getting another season doesn't seem that unlikely. |
|
| I understand Rika thinking that Tomitake is dead.... but shouldn't she know that takano ISN'T dead? |
| Why is noone talking about Satoko conveniently "disappearing" during Watanagashi? By disappearing I mean they flat-out said the only one missing from the group (after the 4 leave the storage) is Satoko (and we don't know exactly when, and for how long did Mion, Rena, Rika and her split up.) Now, ofc I know she isn't actually missing (since she was at school the next day), but I'm pretty sure it's important information and, also considering that Satoshi haven't been mentioned yet... Seems fishy. |
| Rika's like "okay let's pack it up this fragment's shot" |

|
| Guys I don't remember this demon story in the first arc. Does this mean we're going to see an alternate scenario here? Or the 'answers' will be the same? |
ArcueidBestGirl said: Gar_Logan said: I don't think the bluray volumes being announced on the official site counts as a "leak"? Well, the official site is in japanese sooo... Haha I'd just call them predictions/assumptions over leaks. Since it is like you posted, really likely that each volume contains an arc. |
| I thought Mion is the one who's going nut this time. Yet it is Rika-chan XD. |
| Is Rika actually brain dead? |
Wasn't her attempt to change things the doll scene a couple eps back? |
| The direction is still dreadfully boring (I'm tempted to say DEEN's original take did the suspense better, at this point). The whole is going into pretty crazy directions, and this point I think it's clear the original mystery is gone. Not sure what is going on with Rika, she's like not even trying despite her words in ep 2. |
 |
| Okay so i reread some of Ch.2 in the VN, and i noticed that |
|
| Wasn't expecting Rika to kinda spill the beans to Keiichi already. There were some interesting differences this episode too, such as Takano and Tomitake stealing a van. But pretty much the same events as the first two episodes of the 2006 anime happened, yet they're stretched out over three now. It makes this feel a lot slower, which could be good IF they deliver on the middle point (which we've sorta reached now) and the climax of the arc. OG anime already had some awesome stuff happening by the time the third episode of the arc was reached, so I hope this picks up the pace for the final (hopefully two or three) episodes of the arc. Gar_Logan said: Rika's like "okay let's pack it up this fragment's shot" yeah lmao, what a mood. Really caught me off guard, but I feel her tbh |
 |
| Man, 90% is just the old stuff. I'm considering just reading the episode summaries instead of watching. |
Samu-tan said: so I hope this picks up the pace for the final (hopefully two or three) episodes of the arc. Unfortunately, according the blu-rays, there's only 1 more episode left of this arc. |
|
| Lol wtf was Rika doing at the end |
