THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Return of the biker guys. Again.

I didn't watch the whole thing through because I'm waiting for the subs, but seems like a good enough episode from what I've seen. Good to see Hanyuu in her cute pink dress (casual outfit) again.

The art is cute at parts but the animation seems... meh. Quite off.

When is animation in anime good? Anyways, I'm still waiting for the subs. I don't know why seeing as how the previous two episodes pissed me off because of how stupid and over-the-top they were. But whatevs, I guess.

I think it was much more watchable than the previous episode, though the whole romance thing is just full of love-comedy cliches..

Have the fansubbers given up on Higurashi Kira or something? I wouldn't blame them, but I do still want to watch it, even if I'll be MST3K'ing the entire thing.

I don't think so. Just give them a little time. At least it isn't taking as long to sub as the Rei episodes did.

This is by FAR the best episode of the OVA. Not that a lot is required to be better / good compared to the other ones anyway.

I liked it enough to call it okay (something that I absolutely CAN NOT say about the previous entries).

Wow. I actually liked this episode. Very refreshing after the awful fanservice extravaganza and clusterfuck of a magical girl parody. If episode 4 is as good as or better than this one, then Kira may not end up being a total waste after all.

Speaking of which, did anyone's copy of this episode contain a preview for the fourth one? I'm thinking that they didn't make a preview on purpose, and that this entire OVA has merely been an elaborate setup to troll audiences with some really fucked up shit in its conclusion. I doubt it, but that'd be super awesome.

It seems like the group who did it didn't include the next episode's preview. I had to check out a raw of it to see what it was and it seems to be something about how Rika and Hanyuu first met given that Rika appears to be very young and also the fact that Hanyuu's in the pink dress she wore for the latest episode.

On another note, I tried to watch the latest OVA on stream at first when I noticed that they were off-synch with the audio. I downloaded the official release instead and it was fine.

really liked this ep. It didn't have that much fanservice like in the last 2 eps. it focused more on the story and the character relationships, which is why Higurashi is my fave anime. Really cute ep. They should have more like this one.

next time lil Rika and Hanyuu! ^^ looking forward to it!

Meh. The best episode yet, but only because it was boring, which is at least better than cringe worthy :/

I don't mind the silliness if its funny (like the series and Rei managed to be at times) but the directing in Kira is terrible...

Best one, kinda entertaining with stupidity.
4/10 (maybe I'm accustomed now, so it doesn't irritate me now)

But still I think that these Kira episodes are shit.

LOL'd hard at that.

Best one so far imo. This was actually something I can say is related to the main series as opposed to the first two eps...

4 things though:

1: Where the **** is Satoshi cause he's not handling his business if Shion has feelings for Kei ;P

2: On a separate note, I was kinda expecting Keiichi to point at Satoshi, but he never appeared outside of a dream sequence :/. That would have gotten more lols from me but the grandma thing is fine.

3: With the feeding Keiichi thing at the end, I was kinda expecting certain sharp, deadly objects in the food again. Nostalgia is something else, huh?

4: The art is bleh this time around but manageable nonetheless.

Kinda have hope for the series now (it's still a 5 from me though).

I loved the episode.^^ It was so sweet. I personally support MionXKeichi, but Rena and Shion were also really cute. And it was to be expected Keichi wouldn't point out one of the girls. XD Big lol at the grandma. XD And Rika's and Satoko's evilness. XD

This.

This was still BY FAR the best episode of Kira.

Some funny moments, Keiichi pointing at the grandma was fun and Rena x Keiichi picnic was smile worthy.

But nothing much.

This was actually the best episode of the series, but that's not saying much. I liked the fact that Mion apologized to Keiichi for the punch, no girl in any anime would be this reasonable.

When did Rika and Satoko become such trolls? XD

Fanservice was less blatant this time aside from some "Gainaxing" from the twins. I don't remember the twins being THAT well endowed. Like it's been said before, this episode was the best of the three, though mainly cause it's not as boring as the last two. I did like the parts where Mion worries that Keiichi might like someone more feminine.

Yet again stating the obvious, this episode was better than the previous ones.

I liked the bittersweet moments of Shion remembering Satoshi but I didn't think it would lead to Shion being one of K1's harem. WHY. SATOSHI IS WHERE.

As for the other parts... Mion was cute.

lolanimation. But amusing episode otherwise.

Same old Keiichi, right down to the weird sounds he makes. When he fell onto the bike, he sounded like a duck. Didn't anyone else catch that? "Quack!" That, or "fuck". XD

Oryou route is the best route.

haha, this episode was pretty good. i'm actually surprised they managed to do something decent, even though there was too much blatant fanservice, but whatever. if the last episode delivers i just might upgrade the series' rating to "fine".
