| I like. 5. |
| What a great episode. Don't give up Rika! :) Nice move Keiichi!! :) |
| I like how keiichi goes *screw destijy* even without other Parallel timeline memories,, And poor hanyuu, just how much did she felt the diabolical pain when rika brutally murdered everytime?? |
| Finally! After 1 season and 5 more episodes, the events finally make sense (although not all)... |
| This episode was interesting. 5/5 |
| It looks like a couple of things have changed because of Keiichi. Can't wait to see what happens next. |
 |
| 1. the series finally picked up the pace. eps 2-5 were predictable/boring. 2. the idea of trying to change one's fate is very interesting. 3. curious to see how rika changes her fate. 8/10 |

| I liked Rika's last comment, "I will take a stand against fate." Adramelech said: She said they had a hundred years of this, which at least makes a thousand times (because it was longer before). A thousand times and she still makes comments about the situation? I think they couldn't integrate that idea to the episode. smogas said: reliving 1000 times and only now trying to change something? :| Gotta agree. Hinamizawa's top attraction should be Rika's "nippah~" in front of the bus stop! Sonozaki's Nail Remover Show can be in the second. |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| Good episode, finally we got to see Rika's helper. Nice move, Keiichi, you just spared us Shion go crazy, and how I am grateful for that. But it seems that this arc will be Rika that tries to untrigger the events that leads to the various murders.. |
| So this Hanyuu finally has an appearance. Can't wait to see what will change now that they are trying to defy fate. But as others already stated, it's probably not called Massacre-Chapter without a reason :/ I guess this time Rena will be the jealous one and go berserk again with her machete^^ |
| This was a great start to a new arc. I was really into it that it didn't even feel like it was 24 minutes. It felt like I watched 12 minutes of it since time went by so quickly. |
| boring, something interesting happen |
| "Nothing is sweeter than your smile" |
| She can only travel back in time because of the power from Hanyuu. Hanyuu did save her more then 1000 times from being killed. |
 |
| Nice, a fate can be changed huh? Yeah, I think so. I'm glad that I didn't drop it after 1st episode of 1st season. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Holy shit, Rika did said that she lived these events for hundreds of years, right? That must be an awful experiance... I thought that the crude voice was a split personality from her, but now I'm beginning to understand why she have such an adult voice... At least, she isn't alone in that mess, she got the ghost girl thing with her. I wonder if that is in fact the Oyashiro reincarnation that everyone keep talking about. She seem totally cute too. Keichi has been able to turn the wheel of fate, but it's a matter of time before someone lose it again. I'm guessing on Rika, since she said to Mion ''don't bother about me'', which is definitely a sign that she was upset. |

| THE TRUTH IS REVEALED! It's a relief now knowing that I understand Higurashi's plot fairly well now. Now I can just enjoy this anime for what it is instead of having to piece it all together! I love these little changes of fate that are occuring during the world line. So fascinating! We're really gonna see the butterfly effect in action aren't we? Great episode! Loving these answer arcs! 5/5 |

| If Hanyuu doesn't say "Uguu" soon I swear I'm going to snap. |
| finally understanding things !! lol |
| Nice, the franchise is finally getting interesting. |
| This is getting better and better. I can already see myself finishing this series in no time. |
| love it! its super interesting now :D too bad it took rika 100 years to start trying to actually resist fate.... next episode she stops tomitake and takano from going into the shrine? :o and if she does prevent all the murders and tragedy, how does she know she's done it...? is it when she survives the cotton drifting day? does hanyuu disappear or something? does she finally get to grow up? (btw is her voice hanyuu speaking or what...? at first i thought her internal voice was a grown woman and the way she talked was because her body was still young, but she can change it at will O.o) gorczak said: i reaalllyyy hope you're wrong >< but knowing higurashi you're probably right.... ;_;Don't you see? it is named "massacre chapter" so it is going to be very bloody and violent this time :P fate will take a revenge for trying to change it. Next chapter might be even more bloody because they probably will try to change the fate more and more and fate will correct more and more which means more brutality. Anyway, it's gonna be very interesting. |
 |
| Took long enough for this to start making sense. |
 |
| I can smell the blood coming.. huehuhehe... |
| Now we finally start to see behind the curtain. Looks like Rika is ready to fight again. |
 |
| Darn, we were so close to seeing crazy Shion again </3 :(. But at least we finally got a much clearer picture of what the hell is going on, lots of great information this ep. I have to say though, the person Rika was talking to is not at all like what I was expecting. The question is, is this Oyashiro, or is it just another spirit that's attached to Rika? Or, maybe its one of the aliens =O!? I honestly have no fucking clue lol. Just another question that we'll hopefully get an answer to I guess. I also found it pretty crazy that Rika has been reliving this same series of events for over 100 years, no wonder she sounds so adult when she talks seriously lol. How shes kept her sanity after so long is anyone's guess though. |
 |
| 100 years of being stuck in an endless death loop is really depressing. |
 |
| I think Yuki Nagato and Rika would make great friends. Anyways this episode felt pretty uplifting. |
Melcookie96 said: I think Yuki Nagato and Rika would make great friends. Indeed. Melcookie96 said: Anyways this episode felt pretty uplifting. Yeah, finally this anime is getting something interesting... -------------- Oh, If I'm not mistaken, in an episode ago, didn't Rika said that she couldn't tell anyone about her? I mean, she told to Keiichi about her "ability" to "foresee the future"..... O_o |

| I finally get wtf is going on!!! |
| "I CHALLENGE MY FATE" Lucina - Fire Emblem Just something that reminded me of fire emblem re-watching this XD. |
 "I like to expose what people hide. I'm an intellectual rapist." - Furudo Erika |
| Lol, Tom Cruise and Bill Murray did in Edge of Tomorrow and Groundhog Day what she's trying to do in less than a month, instead of more than a hundred years! hahaha |
 |
| Great Episode. It's quite interesting to see that a sudden twist of events can completely change the outcome. |
 |
| WTF 100 years, she has been repeating that??? i wonder if the power to turn back time is decreasing each time she did it, then the event when she meets Akasaka-san 5 years ago was one of the earliest time loop |
 |
| fantastic episode hanyuu is soo kawaii i definitely want to see more of her and see how this plays out |
| Damn this is probably obvious for anyone who’s seen both, but this reminds me a lot of Steins;Gate. Rika’s constant timeloop in an attempt to find a fate that is desirable, much like Okabe trying to break the 1% barrier to find a desirable world line. And then we see Keichi giving Rika the push she needs to keep trying to strive for a different outcome when she has seemingly lost hope, much like Mayuri did for Okabe when he was losing hope. Really enjoying the parallels. It’s also a nice touch that the VA for Rika is also the voice for Suzuha in S;G. As an end note, that line Hanyuu says to Rika...“You and me have been living in these worlds for over a hundred years.” I can’t even imagine what that would do to someone’s emotional stability. Much like Okabe broke down, I’m sure Rika is at her limit. Hopefully, she can discover some clues on escaping the despair with Keiichi’s help. |
| 100 years of repeating, holy fudge. Can't help but feel like an even despair is awaiting... Y'know, it's one of those crippling end results when you get your hopes up high a bit only to fall even deeper... |

| Alright, this is a new arc... |
| I assume the the L3 means the level of parasite infestation in Satoko. Hinamizawa's tourism bureau definitely shouldn't have hired minors in their marketing division, unless they were going for haunted village style tourism. Hinamizawa by the previews is a pretty interesting place, with old people nippering about all day long while the young people chop, infect, and torture through the night. |
| Every day you can read a book or watch some anime is a good day! |
| Keiichi actually gave the doll to Mion! Now he won't die xD |
