| Satoko's arc is here, along with the mention of Satoshi, and the appearance of that fucking bastard Teppei. Really chill episode overall, felt more like an introduction of what this arc is about and wich characters will have a role in here. Nothing much to say about it. Ending tho, Rena was about to go psycho mode with the Oyashiro-sama's curse mention, and Satoko basically entered hell. Waiting for next week! |
 |
| Great episode, here we go Tataridamashi. I think for me Tatarigoroshi-hen in the OG anime was the heaviest arc next to Meakishi-hen. So, I am really looking forward to see how Tataridamashi goes. And it's good to see our guy Irie with the new art style. I wonder if they're going to do Himatsubushi-hen after this arc or they'll go straight to the answer arcs. Well, whatever it may be I will love it. First time Satoshi has been mentioned though, he wasn't mentioned at all in the previous arcs, I wonder if that will be important. |
 |
| SATOKO!!! :'( My favourite character's arc is finally beginning! This arc is going to be a hard one to watch. I feel bad for the first-time viewers, since the pacing of the story means we won't get to Minagoroshi-hen until another season is announced.  However, I actually really liked the added scenes they put like Satoko and Keiichi shopping and walking home together... They really drive home the bit where Satoko feels like Keiichi fills the void that Satoshi left.  Can't wait to see this arc unfold again! |

| this is the "yubi yubi" arc right? i don't think i'm ready |
 |
| 5/5 episode again from me like usual. This was majority slice of life but I loved every second of it. Satoko is amazing and I lowkey like Teppei's new design in Gou. It fits really good with him. Also I'm glad they finally mentioned Satoshi's name. It felt weird that they haven't mentioned it up to this point. |

| Satoko is being sexually abused by her uncle, isn't she? Goddamn, can someone give me a fucking bat, please? Overall, it was a very decent episode. Wasn't boring as the first episodes from the previous arcs since this one provided more info about the characters' backgrounds and personally speaking, the idea of making Keiichi and Satoko get closer by having them forming a sort of "brother-sister" bond is pretty nice. The lolicon jokes were kinda cringey tho. Especially considering how the episode concluded. |
We're back! So i guess this is Satoko's arc, and that ending oh boy...that ending doesn't give me any positive vibes man, especially after watching the ED again :/ Indeed it was a great episode, plus we got a lot of info about Rika and Satoko, i feel bad for them. After watching Made in Abyss's movie this week, i do hope this won't go the direction i think it's going, i've had enough this week already. Been loving this remake tbh, and Keiichi seems to get better every time he comes back. Rena on the other hand worries me the most... But if you think about it, that makes sense, Satoko's parents are everyone's enemy basically... |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Fun ep in general At the end tho I can see some trouble happening |
| I feel like the animation improved in this ep , or maybe it's just me |
 |
| so it's the Satoko route this time. I wonder how they would animate it this time? looking forward to next week. |
| Irie is a pedophile. I didn't remember that when I watched the first show in high school but now that I'm older, it's more apparent and weird. Anyway, this is the start of the satoko arc, an arc that was really dark and interesting in the original, and hopefully will continue to be that way in this show. |

| Oh man, are we about to see Ryukishi's interpretation of Tsukiotoshi-hen? Cause its looking likely this is gonna be Tsukiotoshi-hen. |

ssjokg said: rsc-pl said: That's why I'm using fansubs though. Just saying, these subs are not really that bad if you compare it to anything done by aniplex or almost all other series done by funi (I'm not even mentioning netflix because it's an ultimate abomination). Wait, fansubs are still a think for airing shows? More like fan edits, but still many of them are saving me a lot of cringe. ssjokg said: Gar_Logan said: I get what you are saying, but the goal of Funimation I assume is to have as many people be able to access this anime without needing to know or understand any of the culturally specific aspects of the Japanese language. It's kind of the trend of the industry. Isnt that kinda...racist? Can Americans stop ruining things for once? More like culturephobic. NoviSun said: Actually it is a fairly medium sized deal to me. Part of the reason I watch anime is to get a taste of another culture and world. How would you feel if the used the same argument to replace Satako with Judy or maybe Hinamizawa with East Bumblefck or Tokyo with New York or Manila. There’s no stopping where this line of reasoning goes. This so much. It's just unnecessary immersion breaking with literally 0 gain. At least most American manga publishers aren't doing shit like this. ssjokg said: Frankly the reasoning is retarded. I watched the OG Higurashi in 2009 when all japanese words still sounded the same to me and I could tell that ni-ni was Satoko's baby way of saying big brother. It wasnt rocket science in japanese. So either I am really intelligent or that person must get off her high horse and stop acting as if viewers are fucking retarded, asking for internet rewards for her "hard work". In the adult world it doesnt matter how hard you worked if the final product is shit. And nii nii and nee nee arent the only bullshit translations. Why are there so many liberal, meme like translations? Actually it's not just this. It's a straight butchering and just pure retardness. |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| even after many spoilers I still have no idea what's going on lol. The coach and Satoko's uncle is making me uncomfortable. I think I'm gonna finish this arc then I'm gonna watch the og one. |

Guess something good came out of this bullshit. Btw, do the fan edits have a group name? |
| The Nii Nii aspect of the sun was terrible yeah. |
| Oh boy, and here I thought we'll manage without the child abuse section. Hawaii shirt man - he comes even when no one calls him. Anyway, good to know Satoko can handle the bat pretty well. Maybe in this part we'll see the actual uncle beatdown. As for the whole episode, lots of cute things but not too much actual info for now. Gotta wait till next episode. |

Wow, that's a really nice fun fact. You should comment that on her wall of tweets, so many people kept telling her Nii-Nii is actually a nickname so it shouldn't be translated but she just said no it's not. |

While we're on the topic of the weird translation, i didn't like how she did this scene  It's supposed to be " *I* would get her to call *me* "Master" ~~~ " because Shion was talking as if she was Irie, and that's why Keiichi thought Irie said that and got surprised and Irie said i didn't say anything, why would they act like that if what they heard was " *you* would ~~" Like what Ani-One did in their translation  |

| My God, you people just can't shut up about a language you don't speak. The nii nii part was translated fine and still delivered what it should means, even though I would personally prefer big bro myself. It is supposed to be a very childlike, toddler level of nickname that fits Satoko's behaviors around Satoshi and is the main reason why she quickly hide it when she accidentally used it. So the translator was only conveying the same level of meaning when translating it to big brudder. "It sounds cringe" Yes, that's obviously what it should sounds like. No child above 5 would use it, but Satoko still does and it shows her side of immaturity. Which again, the intended purpose of said translation. "It's a nickname so don't translate it" While possible, the nickname itself does derive from actual word which is onii(お兄) and do have a meaning. Leaving it alone would cause confusion, even if all weebs could understand it. "The nickname is meant to be type of a cicada." Yes, a cicada by that name do exist called niinii zemi or ニイニイゼミ. Which I'm sure was supposed to be only as reference and nothing else. And Keiichi's does not have any relation to said reference, Satoko's only seeing a bit of Satoshi in him and decided to give him the nickname. Also do I need to point out that FAQ is a fan-made? It's an interesting fact, yes, but it's not the creator's word so it doesn't hold much value. You people are just nitpicking because you don't like it, even though translation-wise it was reasonable. Also even if you don't like it, translation do exist to convey stuff from another language to something that's easily understandable for the target audience no matter who they are. So she's just doing her job here. And yes, I do know bad translation exists in official media but this is not one of them so don't even use that excuse here. I'm not even gonna bother reading any more of this thread because I'm sure it's gonna come back to complaining again. |

I'm not even gonna bother reading any more of this thread because I'm sure it's gonna come back to complaining again. Oh fuck off. If it was just nii nii we could possible ignore it even if it breaks immersion. But it isnt. Even from the trailers the translation is many times not only wrong in parts, it ends up as entire different lines. How does "You who have read this" turn to "You are the one that invited all this"? Nii Nii isnt the reason that we are mad.It is the latest straw. There were better ways to translate nii nii and nee nee without making viewers do double takes and break immersion. This is definitely a case of bad translations where the translator focuses on the minor complains to avoid the worst. It is easy to blame "weebs" and the old fans for not liking a single localization than admit that she was wrong many times. |

9th episode and it's back to 9th of June. I guess the time repeated again after Rika's death. |
| I'm interested how this arc goes as satako's arc wasn't my favorite |
 _______I like rocks__  |
| Ugh, I hate Teppei so much ._. I really hope for one of these two things: Option two would be the most satisfying twist ever, but I'd also love to see option one. Rika being passive agressive is really entertaining :D I'm also glad Satoshi was mentioned after all. I was kinda afraid he just didn't exist in this season. Satoko was acting weird last arc, but I think my suspicion will be gone after this one (well, let's see how things develop ig). The only complaint I have is the erasure/lack of Rena's scenes - kinda weird they removed her breakdown :x The animation and art style improved this episode imo. It was really consistent and didn't have many "ugly" shots. The direction was also better & the scene with Rena and Mion near the end was actually eerie :) I still think that this shouldn't be watched by newcomers btw - it's definitely way more enjoyable as a sequel. I'm kinda confused as to why the score keeps dropping tho. |

There's no possible way you can steal my heart    I want to drown in this sweet Melancholy |
| Chapter 3 starts, and already enjoying this more than the previous chapter, let's see how'll this go! Sadly Irie sounds so much older this time around, he gives off a completely different feeling about him :( I'm still sticking with my "Satoko is 'The Culprit'" theory, so I'm expecting her to do something rowdy on this chapter again. And old watchers should know what that might be :> Devil_Slayer said: Umm It was always a popular theory back in episode 3 before episode 6 kinda crushed that idea Some images of them still give the creep though. ssjokg said: What I dont get is how you can she an older girl, even if it is Satoko, undoing a ribbon and assume anything. She could be older, hard to tell from the picture, but I'm pretty sure that's supposed to be Satoko, atleast made like that we should assume that. What comes to the above mentioned theory. It was always even "hinted" towards in the tips section of the VN Probably why it became such popular theory, with all the other points to tie together with. |

It's just numbers from the "Statistics from the Ministry of Health and Welfare" Hint on the 3rd chapter Tips section. The Deen anime definitely toned this chapter down in a sense (or just chose a more graphic route), and I'm 100% certain this Passione version will be toned down even further. |

I just dont think it happened with Satoko. |

All it takes is for people to think X in order to start making the theories of it. And it was most deliberately placed in there for show, it even played this creepy SFX when it popped in. All I can say is that it was there for a purpose - for whatever Ryukishi wanted to aim with it. |

| I like how the woman who worked on the Funi subs says she's a fan of Higurashi (one of her first weeby gateways, according to her), and yet she pulled such a ridiculous translation of "Nii-Nii" and "Nee-Nee", including having lists her friends submitted to her. It's worth pointing out that even in the crappy Geneon dub they kept "Nii-Nii", she has no excuse for omitting it in the subs outside of saying it'll look bad in her beautiful subs. Tsukumo_Yuuma said: SHINOBI-03 said: The broccoli and cauliflower question was always thought to be hints of her being colorblind. I don't think it was confirmed if she has it, but her not knowing the difference between white and green made it safe to assume that. It's just a cute and funny thing and many children can't tell the differences between some vegetables so it's not unusual. A weird assumption tbh Satoshi can't tell the difference between broccoli and cauliflower, either, and he's 16 in 1982. It's heavily implied they're both colorblind. |

It was lost on you regardless of the localization. Get off your high horse. |
| i think the arc started very well owo the whole episode is a stomach attack, so much food! this Kyousuke wants the full pack with Satoko, wants to adopt her, be his doctor, his baseball coach, his husband, something else? LOL |
| Really cute and somewhat wholesome episode. Really liked it. Glad to see nothing bad happened, except for, you know, Satoko's uncle appearing. Been watching the old Hhigurashi so I am able to understand the new "adaptation" better. Not disappointed at all! Although, I really think that the scene where Keiichi arrives at the baseball game was better executed in the original Higurashi. |
