Felt like I was actually watching a Higurashi ova instead of shit piled onto more shit.

Good episode everyone seemed more in character and the humor was played out a lot better

Words cannot describe how disappointed I was at the first two eps in the OVA. I'm not sure what was the bigger crime: that they didn't feel at all like higurashi should or that they were awful.

This was better, enjoyable at least.
Its good to actually be back in the Higurashi universe - imo, it feels like the first time since the ending of Kai.

Felt like a post-matsuribayashi slice of life.

I think Mion would win. Why? Just see the beginning and the end of the episode and of course the doll that he gave to her.

Rena is the classic cute girl and a good cook but Keiichi is always been very passive in relation to her. And Shion will never entirely forget Satoshi.

As many already said it seemed more an extra episode than a spin-off, nice episode.

It felt like I was watching Higurashi, unlike the previous 2 episodes.

I wouldn't mind a full season of these types of episodes; peaceful Higurashi is a refreshing break from psychotic Higurashi.

Totally agree, this episode felt like fitting into the actual Higurashi.
I wouldn't mind a peaceful post-Kai Higurashi 12+ ep serie.

I really like this ep, unlike the previous two.. The first one seemed to have some plot but then let you down, the second was utterly stupid but this kinda makes up for the rest..
This ep alone has taken my rating from 1 to 3 (Its pretty big if you think about it ^^)

Thought we were going to finally get some good mion and keiichi development and then it just turned on its head and started including rena and the others... the entire series makes it fairly blatant that Mion and Keiichi is the only possible relationship that could occur, ugh. Oh well at least this episode actually feels like somewhat of a continuation after the end of kai/rei and has a higurashi feel, unlike the other ova's...

Yeah well, i see the streak of shitty episodes continue, even though this was probably the prettiest so far...
Could anyone please tell me who was this shit intended for?

I loved Higurashi first two series though, so forgive my rage at the creators when i feel one of my favorite series turned into this thing that watching it makes me want to stab my eyes out. I can't stand it. And i already knew how it's going to progress in the first three minutes of this episode. I don't even know what to say.

And the sudden appearance out of nowhere of people giving advice to the characters was a convenient plot device. That was really well thought. Great job, everyone involved in this project! You definitely succeeded in ruining the series.

And I'm even more frustrated cause the art is quite good. I cannot say a bad word about it. Hanyuu looked so cute at the end of the episode. The only character which I could watch without complaining. I can only imagine what would 'true' Higurashi really look like with a good designs like this.

If only they have taken it seriously. Even so this was the "best" episode so far, with ending not making me frustrated for the first time. And for people saying this episode has a Higurashi feeling, I was the one who hated the club scenes in the first episode in every arc in the first season, those were really boring for me and so predictable so they didn't feel like Higurashi for me anyway. I just don't really feel like Higurashi works as a comedy series. I'm in no way saying that i watched the series for all the gore but I loved the mystery feeling and great character development especially of Rika and it's really not possible to present this in OVA so i rather it didn't exist at all or maybe present one arc from before in a different way. But not the shit without the plot it presented in first two episodes.

I have to go to sleep now, gonna watch last episode tomorrow and hope that it really is something at least average cause right now it's 2/10 for me.

Mion and Keiichi was so obvious in The first season and second. I don't see him being with Rena. Shion is still thinking about Satoshi. A harem ending would be good I guess lol. But overall, I would see Mion and Keiichi has the most canon pairing. The hints from this OVA and the actual series say so much.

Hated it.
Seriously, I lost all my respect for Shion. She was so madly in love with Satoshi that she killed all of her friends for him, including his+her sister and keiichi. Later, she learns that Satoshi is in coma at the clinic and she decides to wait for him.
I really liked her character, her loyalty was very admirable, but now this OVA turns everything upside down by making her into a slut. She is totally unfair for her sister. Who cares if he reminds her of Satoshi, he isn't Satoshi FFS. "I want to be treated as a girl too" isn't a damn excuse to betray your sister and lover.

Story wise he should choose Rena, they had most of the scenes together, and were paired in most of the situations. So she is already a Keniichi's companion. Declaring her a girlfriend would only make it official without disturbing the story.
Shion should wait for Satoshi, and he should join their club after waking up, or transfer to Shion's school since he wanted to leave the village in the first place. Besides, Shion isn't even the resident of the village, how is she supposed to be Keiichi girlfriend? Story wise it would be terrible.
Mion should remain a club president and the heir of the clan. She has 2 roles already, she doesn't need a 3rd one.

I was waiting for an episode like this and it did not disappoint; that aside, I thought Keiichi lived in an older house in Hizamikawa not the newer more modern house seen in the episode

This episode was really cute and although it wasnt as "sexy" as the previous two episodes it was way better. Also I am totally shipping Keiichi and Shion! They look so cute together!!!!
I also loved how Rika and Satoko were there watching everything as it was happening. Oh and Hanyuu being nude and in the apron turned me on to the extreme hahahaha!
Rika's outfit also made me super horny...

Unexpectedly romantic episode. Not sure who I ship Keiich with tbh, Shion belongs to Satoshi. But Rena or Mion? Hmmm I probably have a slight tendency to Mion, she just seems to put more effort into it.

Keiichi can be with either Mion or Rena but not Shion. Shion literally went crazy and killed her friends because of her love for Satoshi in some arcs and now she's chasing Keiichi on this episode. It's nice to see a Keiichi x Mion episode, I think the Keiichi x Rena episode is the last episode of Rei.

I'm an avowed Rena fan and staunchly in favor of that pairing, but on the subject of Shion, can it really be seen as a fault of her character? Considering, not just Shion, but Keiichi himself, Rena, and Satoko fell ill at different points for different reasons. The only ones who didn't fall ill were Mion and Rika herself.

Man, this episode kinda, lovely, but its still silly with all of those scenes. At the end, the winner was an oni granny! Lol. Poor Keiichi. Its better than he got a harem ending, tho xd. But, man, Rika, Satoko, and even Hanyuu, got a nicer design art at this episode. While Rika kinda playful at these episode. I wonder how beautiful their design in Gou? Well, lets save it for 2021!

Interesting Love Quad filler episode of Higurashi. 6/10.
I would personally love canon romance routes of Mion and Rena from Ryukishi07, but I guess this is the next best thing, or possibly Higurashi Gou that I haven't watched yet.

I think the scenario of Shion helping Mion to get paired with Keiichi is realistic.
Unfortunately the angle of her falling in love with Keiichi in a setting where Satoshi is dead (in a world after Takano was defeated [note: Rika jokes "a 2nd Great Hinamizawa Distaster" would happen from this love quad]
feels off considering Shion loves Satoshi, who's alive in the end. Even if in fact, canonically she was attracted to Keiichi until she find out Satoshi was alive.
Rena's romantic interest towards Keiichi isn't as clear or strong in the visual novel either, but nonetheless ... 'Fun filler romance episode.

Personally, I prefer Keiichi x Mion.
It's hard not to want Mion to win over Rena as a sucker for heroine's who have a crush on the male ...even moreso since canonically Mion is the one to have the strongest romantic interest for Keiichi compared to Rena and Shion, as stated why before above.
