| Great story and great ending! Chika really is an interesting person, I hope a couple of the remaining episodes revolve around her. In fact.. she might be the only person in the family who could make a spin-off work. |
| Very nice drama episode for a change, I still wanted to see what happens with the whole affair between Chika and her older sister, but I think they will show that in a later episode. From the few screenshots Ive seen from next episode, I think it'll go back into the normal crazy-ass humor we're used to. |
| Finally got it downloaded! Took some time at 30k/s WTF seriously...got to change damn provider! I am surprised you found it interesting Cyruz but I understand your point. This episode is most likely the best in terms of explaining Chika's past. Now we know her past very well. She seems to have almost as much misery as Yuuka so both of them seem to have suffered though Yuuka is much younger. No kidding Chika understand Yuuka more. About Vitamin C-----> Victim of Raishou DEMONIC EXPERIMENTS? Seems like it unless someone else like Dr Gebock experimented on him. So the family is PIECE OS SHIT ASS black market Plutocratic world power. Hmmmmm, abuse seems common in this family.....well Dah since the game is played in those rules no one cares about no one. Should you kill the whole family no one will care since you wiil have all the power. Pretty STUPID FAMILY. Nice fight from Chika....Good MONSTER BASHING! Next episode Xmas special???? Sounds like Yuuka and Chika Santa fanservice. LOL |

formosan said: freedoleen said: Seriously, sometimes drama in this series is... heavy. The story from this episode could be used in some horror. Not that it's a bad thing. It was pretty cool. I didn't understand one thing, though. After Chika has faced down her traumatic memory, Vitamin C tablets fall and are noticed by other people -- the classmates even flinch as they get hit. Is this meant to be the illusion-power of the little monster manifesting an alternate illusion? That's the only explanation I could come up with. It's also very much like an art film, in that they throw a hard-to-explain event in there and let the viewer try to figure it out. This show likes to toss in random unexplainable things. Don't think to hard about it or your head will explode XD. |

Teddi said: Err wait so what was that thing that Chika owned..? It was an illusion right? So it was Hi-chan's dad that created it? Ouch my head hurts... The thing was created out of random or at the very least forced upon experiences due to being captive and a prisoner. NO ILLUSION just sporadic mutation. WE DO NOT KNOW who created it exactly there is not specification I think it's Raishou and on of her crazy experiences. SO ATTENTION this nothing more than a sporadic or forced mutation upon a prisoner. This is the same thing as seeing what gases kill people in WW2. He was forced. |

| interesting episodes, certainly better than the previous back story episodes |
 |
| Chika-chan's dark secrets are awesome. What an evil girl. >:3 Really good episode! |
| Felt like i was watching higurashi all over again..not that i was complaining about it. Kindness can easily be misinterpreted under the wrong atmosphere (either that or the older sister really was plotting some 'horrible' on Chika). |

| I was kind of confused whether the monster was really a mutated prisoner or Chika's imagination exaggerating a normal prisoner into a monster. But that hamster bringing Vitamin C back was a surprise. |
| Now this is monster bashing! |

LOL =O That scene disturbed me a little, and wouldn't her classmates be thinking "WTH? You going psycho?" And I don't get the ending >< Hi-chan's father looking like the prisoner, what's that supposed to mean? But still, a good episode I think, younger version of Chika is so cute and evil lol... Looking forward to the next episode, I want Chika fan service! =D |

Nandela said: and wouldn't her classmates be thinking "WTH? You going psycho?" She was bashing it with a nail bat she borrowed from one of them, and at least one of them - maybe two? - has ties to the Japanese mafia. I don't think they're exactly going to see that the same way as, say, -normal- people. :| |
| A pretty good scary story, though thruout the episode i just laugh whenever "Vitamin C" is used xD |
  |
| Very interesting episode, the ending was really good. Chika was saved thanks to that guy, and she also saved him :) |
| Whoa. That was kinda heavy. Good stuff, tho. |
| Great episode, didn't understand it all, but still a very good episode revolving around Chika. She should get more episodes about her! :) |
  |
| Good episode, was a nice change from normal flow. |
 |
| Can't say i liked this. For me there's a limit to how serious you can make a comedy. Reminds me of Sumomo mo momo mo. |
| They explained at the end of the episode that the "monster" was never really a monster to begin with just an escaped prisoner. Chika was raised in a horrific household by people who were considered "oni" so she saw everyone as being a monster enough to think that her sister being the only kind one was plotting against her secretly. When she found the prisoner she basically fed him and kept him like a pet and in return wanted him to kill her sister. no mutations no Dr. Gebok just a crazed little girl's perception of a situation. That's how she saw vitamin C in her mind/nightmare so that how the hamster manifested it. or atleast thats how i saw it... yea this show is pretty great newayz the prisoner turned out t be Hi-chan's dad!!! cool... |

That may be but there is not telling if they were hallucinations or not. I think it is the mutation and a cliche of prisoners having no escape subjected to experience. It's been used 100s of times in movies. The thing is that I find this series uses it well. |

| Chika is..scary.... I thought for a second I was watching Higurashi. That was totally a Higurashi reaction by Chika... |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| LOL! A bat and bashing madness! Reminds me of Higurashi, wahahaha! :3 A pretty epic and good episode. It looks random, but it's very deep and dark. Even a crazy anime like this can make a plot like that. That's what you call plot!!! Kyouran Kazoku Nikki is one of my best, really. XD PS! I also laughed many times whenever "Vitamin C" is said. Wahaha! There are many words and many names that can be use, WHY VITAMIN C?! AHAHA! CrAZY!!! |

 |
| That Marimite reference got me. |
| Pretty crazy episode, I really wonder what's next! |
 |
| I remembered a monster named Vitamin C but had forgot which anime and when I googled it I encountered the Stand of Tamaki Damo instead... https://jojo.fandom.com/wiki/Vitamin_C Luckily some more searching reminded me it was Kyouran |
