the va's are alright, it's the directing. rika looking at a bunch of elementary schoolers and suddenly going glowy-eyed and dropping some deep voice line about fate straight up made me laugh. i can't take this anime seriously anymore, it's a parody of itself. shame.

Literally the same lines were said in the DEEN version and the VN. How is it a parody when it's literally the same line that was said in Minagoroshi. And Rika didn't go glowy eyed this episode. She also did a completely different voice from when she confronted K1 in episode 7. That's the adult rika voice, not the deeper more bernkastel esque voice.

This reminds me of The Shining's movie version vs the TV series version, one if less faithful to the novel but pretty interesting while the other is more faithful and less entertaining.


Could not have been said better.

Oh, reality is much worse. They're often the ones abusing children.

Bureaucrats everywhere don't give a damn about the children; R07 is not exaggerating.

What the heck... This makes Teppei almost look like an angel.

I knew it was bad but I only thought they didn't give a damn and/or only cared to go "by the book"".

Same, but then I read some pretty terrifying shit. Unfortunately when you have kids without a family or anyone to care for them, they really have no power to protect themselves.

I didn't know that R07 used to be a social worker, but it makes so much more sense now. People that abuse children are the worst.

It's pretty in-character for Rika, though. You have to keep in mind that Rika isn't all there and that her "experience" made her considerably crazy and unstable.

it's the pacing and the delivery that makes it look like comedy, angles too. something about the way this adaptation is being directed is disjointed lol

Everything was going to perfectly planned, I can sense something is going to fuck shit up, I kinda hope they pull this off though.

Behold of my awesomeness~

Now I can see that this whole episode was significantly different from Deen's adaptation. Let's go, Hinamizawa!

I was hoping to see a bloodbath when Shion declared she would kill Satoko's uncle. Perhaps Keichi will eventually kill him. That short glimpse we saw where he beat him with a bat was intriguing. Did it already happened or was it a premonition?

She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did!

Ugh... I feel bad for Satoko of course, but this has always been my least favourite arc. This part with battling CPS is just so boring imo

Hmm, Shion is more Mion like in this playthrough.

That's the problem with bureaucracy. It's slowed down with rules, protocols, and hierarchy. By the time they act it's always too late. Sometimes, it's better to take things by your own hands. They should've resorted to mob lynching and to hell with the consequences. Shion had the right idea.

Poor Rika, she thought this could be the playthrough. She has to suffer several more playthroughs unfortunately.

So we are going Minagoroshi-hen. Let's see if how this will become different from Minagoroshi-hen.
