uguu, poor Rika 8'<

This episode was nice, centering Rika more. And I'm so curious what is going to happen next ! ~

Waa, is so nice to see Satoshi in this season, cutie ~

(I'm so excited that I can't say anything ... clever ? :'D)

How long does it usually take for the subs to get out for this series? I picked up this series and finished it up to this point recently, so I'm not too familiar with the fansubs, other than that apparently there's 4 groups at it according to the profile. It's been around a week since the raws came out, right? How long do the subs usually take? Or if they're already out/you know how long subs generally take for this show drop me a message please, thanks. =)

I missed the 'Higurashi-feeling' from the first two eps (I liked them as well, but they were kinda too light&happy?), but this one was very good ^^ I still find this dimension interesting. I'm starting to like this doc, though I miss Irie-sensei :D



And yay for some more Satoshi! The lack of him always saddens me :(

Oh wow, now Rika needs to kill her own mother?

It's the same intense, but also different from the original story, in which killing was in madness and not aimed at some special event.

And how come Higurashi Rei is released so early - the official release was today? Same with ep2..

Hahah Rika has just proven herself to have more guts than most male leads who would have cried in a corner if they'd be bullied by Satoko.

I have to agree with some others saying that so far the OVA hasn't had the same Higurashi "feel" to it but it is still really good IMO. Rika once again proved how badass she is by handing Satoko her ass and she also has to make the decision to either kill her mother or stay in this world forever... too bad the wait is at least a month for the next DVD.

I really enjoyed both seasons of Higurashi, but it wasn't until now that I realized how vital a role Keiichi played. To me this show just isn't the same without him. From the preview it looks like he's coming back (thankfully).

If by "Higurashi feel" people mean the first season which was highly repetitive...I'm glad it doesn't feel that way. But I do think that Rei feels like Kai. I personally like the way it's going since the terrible first episode. I never really cared one way or the other for Rika, so this is a nice change of pace to me.

That episode was simply awesome... It really kinda surprised me when Rika got mad and threw the chair at Satoko. I knew Rika would get angry, but the fact she eventually got so fed up with her to do that?! Either way, I loved it! I love it when Rika get's full on angry (like in episode 8 of Kai... That's one of my most favourite scenes.). It's also good to see mature Rika and drinking her wine again...

Awww! I really want to know what's going to happen in the next ep! *cries*

I'm glad Rika hit Satoko. She was really annoying me in this arc.

It's getting intense. I wonder if Rika really is going to kill her mom...

Although I'm AMAZED that Satoshi wasn't more concerned. Back when Shmion beat Satoko with a chair (in-series reference?), Satoshi ran in and was like, "MION STOP THIS RIGHT NOW!!"
Yet this time, he just kinda.. waited outside the door until Rika was finished.
Maybe he just doesn't like when his sister is picked on by OLDER kids. :c Or maybe HE dislikes this world's Satoko's behavior as well. XD

That time, Satoko was also being abused by their uncle at home, so obviously Satoshi got pissed off. Satoshi didn't understand why Shion would randomly hit Satoko.

In this world, Satoko has a normal life at home and Satoshi knows that Rika was being bullied by her.

God, this is why I love Higurashi. I'm anticipating something great next episode.
The scene with Satoko bullying Rika and her snapping was just plain awesome. I was kind of glaring at the screen in disblieve, because it was so out of the blue yet Higurashi-like.
Lookin forward to more :]

When Rika was telling the doctor her story, I knew it wouldn't go well. In his eyes, she's only a child. A child who's probably making up stories to feel special, so she won't feel alone now that her friends have moved away. A comfort, away from Satako. I can see where's my coming from, and I understood why he rang Rika's mother.

But Rika, and us viewers, still felt betrayed all the same.

Well, it's not all bad though. In the end, it was thanks to the doctor telling Rika's mother the story that Rika was able to find out who/what the fragment was.

Finally after waited for a long time, episode 3 came out at last and it was awesome.

Poor Rika, being left out from the class and it seems that Yamamoto doesn't take serious what Rika's says. So Rika's mother is the true reincarnation of Oyashiro-sama ? Will she kill her ?

Higurashi moment is back when that Satoko tries to bully Rika. Rika's anger is great !! Hail Rika-chama !!!

Nice chair action. Don't fuck with Rika.

And if I was Rika I'd kill everyone in Hinamizawa just to make sure you discarded the fragment. Just to be safe, y'know? ;p

You only have been posting once and you asking about Keiichi about the episode 4, nobody is know anything about that one if that isn't have released yet beside why are you thinking Rika going to killed her mother?
That's one of the puzzle but that doesn't proved much there.
