| WTH ... who are those men !! ... they are professionals slaughterers hahah ... Ooishi will get mad of this |
| Wow it's all starting to make sense. We finally saw Rika's death. Great arc... and I really liked Oishi on this arc ^_^ |

| Hmm 4 again. I liked it though. Especially Ooishi in this episode. Rena dying? As if. |
| Damn Ooishi |
 |
| This season is more nice than the season 1 :) This episode is very intense.. I was hoping that she won't die but ... well, that was expected. :/ |
| this Arc... i can't bear it... too much.... just.. too much.. deaths... Even satoko Those green jacketers have done it, Rena is...*sigh* i need to collect so many willpower to watch the next arc.. |
| This episode made me so mad omg SATOKOOOOOOO NOOOOO |
 |
| I´ve reached an important conclusion: Hinamizawa is a hick town, there´s no other way around it. |
 |
| I'm in love with Rena's VA *_* |
| This has to be one of the most suspenseful series in existence. |
   |
| 1. this whole arc was predictable since we already saw season 1. was waiting for the arc to end cuz it was boring. 2. the only useful stuff we got from the past 5 eps is that rika seems to be repeating her 'death cycles' many times. 3. wonder what rena's message was at the end of this ep. 5/10 |
| Damn it, the nurse pisses me off. Satoko could have gotten away 3 times, and she herself ruined it, first time was on the ceiling, Rika told her not to make any noise and she still cried out. Second was after she witness Rika's murder, I mean, I know that's a normal reaction, but still.. and third was during the bridge scene, where she just had to trip. The writer just wasn't on her side this time. |

| Yeah, I agree that Satoko could have easily escape, she was her own death. By the way, big improvement, this time all the friends didn't slaughtered each other but fell to the common enemy. I wonder how Rika loops back the time even though she dies, maybe is that other girl she talks with that do the trick everytime. This time we were so close to know the truth, but Satoko ruined it. I like this new atmospheres we got, we got the pure horror away and we got more the mystery vibe, which I like right now, I think we got enough psycho killings. I love this opening and endings so much.. |
| I don't quite get the hate on Satoko. Indeed, when she hid in the locker, she should have stayed quiet. But to scream when you see your best friend chopped up should be considered rather normal and understandable. I really was excited at the end and hoped that Ooishi would be there in time, but nope, +1 to the body count. |
| I need all the questions answered. A lot of questions were answered but now I want to see all of them answered. Really good episode. |
| An alright episode, though the mystery is still unsolved, more questions need answered. |
| "Nothing is sweeter than your smile" |
| These last two episodes have thankfully returned the show to form. I was really nervous after episodes 2 and 3 pretty much wasted their run-times, but thankfully episodes 4 and 5 picked back up. Hopefully it stays this way for the rest of the season. |
jobocan said: windy said: and wtf was up with the nurse? in on it with the van people i guess? Don't forget that Satoko was hated by almost everyone in Hinamizawa and probably some other people out of the village, so maybe the nurse was just someone who hated her. Why did Satoko have to die(again)? I wanted to understand Rena's "message" too :( I have to say from my perspective, what you said doesn't add up to an extent about how the houjou family were disliked among the town probably even despisedenough to be killed,the initial reaction of the nurse was right after ooishi said that Satoko had blinked, judging by the expression of fear this led me to believe that she is either part of the organisation that had planned the attack or was some kind of undercover double agent in a sense and was under pressure knowing that if Satoko remembered what had happened with rika and talks about the situation about being followed with ooishi their operation would have failed/leaked, I mean that she would relay information on to her contacts with her life being at stake? I also got the impression of some sympathy which then supports my second theory as she seemed hesitant going through with everything. |
| So mad >_> stupid unknown organization. |
| Damnit, I felt as screaming with Ooishi. ''This is bullshit!'' I'm starting to think that Ooichi is somehow representing the viewer :P Fuck, man. So close, yet so far away. In the end, even if she had survived and told Ooishi, it wouldn't have solved anything. Rika would still be thrown into another universe. Here is was I got and my theory so far : a group from the Hinamizawa village, we''ll call it the group X are the cause of the bizarre incident (and they we're damn well equiped...). On the other end, there is a another group, the group Y, that try to escape that fate. In that group, we can count our youth (Rika, Rena, Keichi, maybe Mion) and other people like the doctor, Miyo, etc. So far, I don't think that Satoko has ever been part of that group, she always seem to be in the wrong place, at the wrong time. In the group X, I still can't figure whose part of it. I think we're missing too much information on that part, but I'm pretty sure that all the 20 people who are missing are part of the group X. Anyway, the way the group X seem to opperate is by poisonning people. The people in the town look like they all died like Keichi did in the first arc and like the photograph always dies (they probably also killed Satoko the same way). On the other end, Rika and Rena got stabbed to death. For Rena, I can understand the method, since she escaped what could be a poison or whatever it is. But for Rika, it's really odd the way she die. Each time, her body his dropped at the altar and killed there. Why is that? Are they trying to make a message? Fuck, I thought that episode would bring some answer, but it rose more questions. |

| WHOA! The intensity of this episode was palpable! Seeing Ooishi flip out at the end really got me on the edge of my seat! "DON'T FUCK WITH ME!" I wonder why those "van people" murdered Rika and Rena... Was not expecting Satoko to die that way? That nurse had me VERY suspicious, I felt like she had some part in this. Seeing all those corpses after the great disaster was horrifying! Now when I think about it, why were all the kids in the school in the middle of the night anyways? Looks like we're gonna be having an answer arc! That makes me pretty damn happy! I don't understand Rena's message. Hope this all gets explained soon. Awesome episode! 5/5 |

| Tbh this arc is somewhat boring, between the whiny kid and all. |
| My Reviews and Rants: http://bunny1ov3r.wordpress.com/ 痛就是爱 |
| Conspiracies! Illuminati! Raptors! Government control over aaaaaall... |
| So we have mystery van people killing everyone for no reason and then the nurse killing Satoko? Once again we get more questions than answers. |
 |
| I love how Higurashi can continue to create and answer questions in later arc without getting to boring. Hopefully the van dudes are explained at some point. |
 |
| I felt really bad for Satoko, such a messed up episode for her :/. The scene where they showed everyone dead on the school floor was also really disturbing. Then there was Ooishi, once again getting there just a second too late. I swear hes probably the key to stopping it, the one time he gets there on time will be when everything changes. Rika should just tell him everything, maybe even *predict* some of the deaths before they happen so he'll believe her. But yeah, this was a great episode and chapter overall. I'm also not minding the slower pace of this season so far, it adds to the suspense. |
 |
| Satoko cannot catch a break. |
| I think Rena's message was that the gas leak that killed everyone was by those van people and not volcanic sulphur and possibly a reason to why Rika was killed. Poor Satoko 😭 |
| That was intense. Sadly Ooishi was one step behind there. I've seen those grey suits and that van so many times now lol. That nurse was in on it too. Can't wait to see how this unfolds. Next arc hype. |
| Really depressing arc. I was rooting for Satoko so hard but it was all for not. It'd be so great if this show ends with a happy ending and Rika finds a way to stop everything from going wrong. That's my dream at least :P |
 |
| Wait, if the disaster happened at midnight then why were all the kids at school? |
| Imma take a guess here and say they use Rika's organs as part of the "Disaster" thing. Also poor Satoko always becoming the victim. I kinda want her to become a psychopathic killer for once. |
 ayy lmao i dun jewed m'self |
| fuck those white van simps and that nurse better not have been apart of that heart failure |
| so falling from the bridge is the only way to survive the gaz... interesting, I wonder if it's just because that will make you lower than the gaz can reach or if there is another reason... |

| Damn this is getting intense! Oishi was so close, if only Satoko hadn’t pushed the button. In hindsight, she had no way of knowing the murderers were within the hospital as well. Really liked this arc, Satoko was really close to uncovering the mystery of it all, this is the closest anyone’s gotten in any arc so far. Sucks that the arc ends, but let’s see if Satoko will retain her memories like Keichi did. Satoko is definitely my favourite character! She went so far to help her friend, and she has one of the saddest backstories from S1. |
| So close yet so far, Oishi-san. Damn it! Hopefully, we'll get to the reality of this in an upcoming arc. Here's my guess: Rena survived the previous (Arc 6 and S2 E1) as a result of what we saw earlier and fell down the river surviving the "attack". Lots of questions again but we've finally gotten proof that it's not a natural disaster (not that I suspected that either tbh). I wonder how falling down the cliff is an essential piece for this though but, boy, am I excited to see all this come out into the open! New arc next and sounds like it's going to be especially gruesome, huh... |
