| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ----------------------------------------  With the forces gathered everyone prepares for the upcoming battle. Takano won't be expecting this kind of retaliation. |
 |
| It turns out actually alot more awesome than i thought it would. I was afraid this part wouldn't adapt well with the anime but it seems like it won't be all that bad. My only concern now is how they will manage to drag this out for 6 more episodes... |
 My dear weak spacenoids. THAT LEVEL OF LOVE CAN'T BREAK MY BODY OF STEEL! |
| 4 episodes. Kai is 24 episodes not 26. |
| |
| The RAW has been out for quite some time. The .ass file was just released on 4chan, so it should be on Rapidsearch. |
| I think just about everyone has been united now. I'm also relieved that Shion made an appearance. I was starting to think they forgot about her. |
| oops lol, i was fooled. for some reason i thought it was mion in the graveyard (maybe because she was with their mom). yeah, never regretted once giving this a 10. now let's hope they manage to pull it off without too many good characters dying. i'm thinking my amount of crying at the end will be proportional to that. good use of authentic dialect (the old women) in this episode too - something this series lacks quite a bit imho. (i mean come on - wouldn't it have been cool if they'd given hanyuu a really antiquated speech style??) |
 |
| All set. Bring it on! |

| auauau~~ lol everything really everything now seem to work. i am really hoping for an happy end. especially that everyone didnt hate satoko anymore statisfied me. this season was really great while the first one gave me many WTF effects, now it answered them all. and since it end nearly i just want to know how takano will gets her butt kicked. XD and imo its kinda reminds me a little of death note, takano wants to be a new god and that the keichis group try to beat them intellectual. |
 |
| All the preparations are set, I am really excited on what will happen, I hope that everyone will be alive in the end. only 4 episodes left ;_; |
| This is getting better and better each ep!! Loved when Keiichi and Sataoko came up with that plan and started laughing. |

| It's probably going to build up for another two and a half episodes before we actually get some climax, but it's a fun ride the whole way. Just loving how the humor gets splashed in with all the seriousness. In my opinion it's well-timed. Others might say it's awkward, but like with the way Clannad is going, I think it's just fine. So glad that Rika is getting more hope about things; I couldn't imagine what 100 years of failure would do to someone's confidence. |
 Visit Borderline Hikikomori and the International Saimoe League! |
| getting more and more excited. the buildup was just great. It just dawned on me how close to the end we are. i'll be looking forward to the rest. |

I love it when Satoko does her mischievous laugh then Keiichi joined it so it was even better. That was a nice ep since everything pretty much came together already, just the plan needs to be executed till the end. Say Akasaka-san 10 times fast. |
| Takano doesn't seem to have any idea that basically the whole village is ready to strike her down. However, she has fooled everybody in the past. Should be an exciting ride. |
Was that shion we saw at the graveyard cuz we aint seen much of her recently |
| Ah cheese, the devil's play thing. |
| Yes that was Shion. |

| awesome episode. this anime is really one of the best there is keiichi's and satoko's laugh was win, also, the fact that most of the pieces are together now is really good, i cannot wait to see what is going to happen next. "auauauuuu" and the fact that we saw shion towards the end of the episode made me remember shion wasnt with everyone else, i think she should get together with them sometime soon. |

I sure hope Shion will also be involved in the fight, but it seems this is one of those worlds where Shion hasnt moved back to Hinamizawa or whatever. *onto next ep! |

| Great episode, I can tell once this series is over I'm going to be giving it a ten. |
   #NBHNC |
| like I thought it really gets interesting hrhr xD 4 more episodes yäy |
   |
| I think this will work well.. No matter what, a lot of people vs one Takano shouldnt fail too badly... Anyway, Shion isnt out cos that is what happened in most of the arcs, that she didnt come to the same school as the others... XD auau~ |
| Three things I love in this show: 1. Overall the story 2. The characters because of their moeness 3. The amazing seiyuus Hahah! Hauu!~ Omochi Kaeriiii!~ Auauauauau! Not to mention: Ni-pah!~ |
     |
| *gasp* I'm like REALLY REALLY hyped up right now... who knows what they're gonna do... that sounds odd.... but I want to see the next episode!!!! >.< |
     Sig WILL change soon~ |
| The build-up to the end just seems to keep dragging on and on. There's still 4 more episodes till the end. How much longer can this go on? It's nice to see all of the characters finally come together to reach a solution, though. I think there was just too much talking and not enough action in this episode. I mean, I couldn't look away without missng a whole sentence. |
| Man, I'm getting pumped. Though this pretend Rika is dead move does seem kind chancy. I mean, what a bold move to make. Something about this could go very wrong, though I can't put my finger on it. |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
cyruz said: Yes that was Shion. Mii and Shii are both twins, and have the same seiyuus. If you miss Shion that much (like me :P), you can easily think of Mion as Shion. A confrontation! And this time around, both sides have equal firepower. This should be very exciting and interesting to watch!! shami said: only 4 episodes left ;_; As you might already know, a 5-episode OVA is being distributed in 2009! So technically, there's nine episodes to go! ^^ I love to watch these previews, there're always so cute ¦3 ~nipa! nipa! nipa-nano desu |
Chopper_Tonakai said: I didn't catch this one, but whose grave did Ooshi visit? I'm talking about the last scene where Ooshi meets Shion and Mrs. Sonozaki. After some thinking I'm starting to doubt myself, but it may have been the manager of the dam construction's grave? That was what I was thinking about at the back of my mind, feel free to correct me, anybody. |
 |
| rika has begun to gather her allies, and they have made they're plans, all there is now is to execute them, so exciting ^_^ |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| Hmmm after seeing Shion at the grave I wonder if she is going to join in and help as she did before, she needs to be there with her tazer. Only 4 episodes to go~ |
| Everything are set, now what's left is the plan to commence. i didn't tought that Tomitake would help, especially Akasaka (Love the moment when Rika cried to him xD !! Loli love !!!) I almost forgot of Shion, since she haven' made an appearance since end of Minnagoroshi-hen. I hope she could join forces too... Next episode !!! |
 |
| The whole village is coming together, who would've expected it to be as tightly knit a group as it actually is. |

     |
| So Takano plans to kill the whole village just to prove that he grandfather's work was real to those men who rejected him? Messed up, man. MESSED UP. If only the adults could be this understanding all the time. |

BlueYoshi said: I think just about everyone has been united now. I'm also relieved that Shion made an appearance. I was starting to think they forgot about her. Yeah I was afraid they didn't include her at first since she didn't appear until the very end. Curious as of how the will "kill" Rika =P |
| god damit takano should just die shes a asshole but you can understand..why shes pissed off..her grandfather really is right |
 |
| Just a few more eps till Takano gets what she deserves! |
| i hope it will finally end well in this arc. but one thing - why shion here isn't with them ? |
Desugrace said: god damit takano should just die shes a asshole but you can understand..why shes pissed off..her grandfather really is right She had good intentions, but her callous disregard for scientific ethics and human life is what makes her an antagonist, and she full well knows she's being used by the silver haired woman but goes along with it anyways making her guilty by assosciation. She thinks the ends justify the means, but obviously everyone else disagrees. Rika has more than just her friends this time, she has people within "Tokyo", the police, the Sonozakis, Takano's own colleagues and coworkers, and possibly the entire town itself. I just hope it ends well, for both Rika and co. and the research of Hinamizawa Syndrome. I'm a such a sucker for "in the end, justice prevails" type story |
| Finally EVERYONE seems to have learbed of their "past" mistakes and is gathered. Cant wait for the epic battle ahead. 4 more episodes to go :) |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
crowslayer91 said: omfg this arc and the last one i mean, my views on the old lady. omfg, they just totally made her 8739234724% different xD she used to scare me. its kinda freaky/annoying to hear her talk so nicely. but still good i guess lol yay yeah i like the old hag now also,she seems to have a soul now xD but yeah,nothing extremely important happened yet...so go team go =) PS:Satoko's evil laugh <3 PPS:i hope akasaka will not die ;(,iu mean i hope none will die,except takano and those 2 dogs that follow her :\ |
Sayonara,papa! "Just how a mirror reflects you,people will also reflect your heart." ~Athena Glory,Aria "Whatever happens,happens" ~Spike Spiegel's thoughts on dying(Cowboy Bebop) |
| This is looking great.....perhaps we can finally get our happy ending....they deserve it. |
| This is gonna be awesome... |
 |
| <3 gotta love their amazing ideas ! |
| Why Bacchan suddenly became so good and carring??She creeps me out.. Anyway, i hope their plan works..But i don't think Takano is that fool to believe it..We'll see.. |
 |
| Akasaka! Keiichi and his powerful speeches again. LOL. @ Hanyuu & Rika ganging up on Mion. Poor Tomitake having to deal with the fact that his lover is on the bad side. The elders have grown so much after living through those worlds. O_O |
akromataof said: Just like everybody learned from their past worlds the village did as well. In particular she seems to innately remember Keiichi facing up to her and rallying the town in defense of Satoko which is probably why she mentions they can't hang on to curses and the war; the exact thing Keiichi fought to make her understand in the previous world.Why Bacchan suddenly became so good and carring??She creeps me out.. Anyway, i hope their plan works..But i don't think Takano is that fool to believe it..We'll see.. |
