| well i can say this there are a lot of mood swings Phycos in the area and the killings are kind of Irrevelant and dont suprise me b/c there crazy well ill keep watching fairly enjoyed |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| ladder part was ... strange o.O rena is good at deducting? anyways the laugh at the end is scary. it seems like Mion is behind all of this, but for what reason? |
 |
| So confused by at the same time so intrigued! |
| The ladder part was definitely a "wtf" moment. I'm guessing Mion has been pretending to be Shion the whole of this episode, but Rena and Keiichi seem to be a little bit too clever and perceptive for teenagers O_o |
 |
| I loved the kitten/dog/big-cat/little-cat conversation between Keiichi & Rika. coolwolf said: ladder part was ... strange Agreed. |
 ~Heart & Thoughts With Japan~ |
| Loved the end of the episode. Creepy laughter FTW!!! And the ladder scene... I can't decide if they told the voice actress to do it on purpose, or if they didn't realize that it totally didn't fit the action. At least they have the "Look! I'm insane!" face down. |
| Well that was weird...yes, the non-sync between Mion's animation and voice during the infamous ladder part was a bit jarring, but the voic itself was still pretty creepy :-/ Coming back to this after two weeks is really disorienting...might have to re-watch the last two just to remember what's going on |
| "Ah yes, the demon drink...'Nature's Alzheimer's' they call it" |
| What the hell?!?! This is getting weird and I'm having some trouble keeping track.. |
It's not breaking in if the door is unlocked. |
DarkShines said: This anime represents creepiness at its finest: how is it possible for one girl (Mion) to go psycho one minute and completely sane in the next? It's like she has an evil spirit in her. That's exactly what I've been thinking. That maybe Oyashiro possesses these girls or something. And commits the violent acts through them. *shrugs* I really have no idea, I'm just theorizing it all as I go along. But I've been getting the feeling that the reason these girls have these random bouts of insanity and... creepy laughter... is due to some sort of evil possessing them. And my mind turns to Oyashiro. Anyway. Another good episode and I can't wait to find out how this arc all wraps up! What the heck happened to the two little girls? What's up with Shion and Mion? Hmm... Next episode! |

| How creepy. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| This anime hasn't been able to entertain me all that much so far. It just seems like a moe harem anime, with terrible art. I also don't like the voice acting of 3 of the main characters and I want to punch a wall everytime one of them talks ><. I also think that a lot of the ''scary'' scenes so far have been a little bit cheesy. And the foreshadowing is also way too obvious: ''It's not like I'll die or anything''. Lol who says that in a normal conversation. I hope the story picks up soon. I expected one fucked up anime after all the hype this anime got. |
| Isn't it amazing how quickly some people can put 2 & 2 together? |
| What a mindfuck. I hope next episode provides some answers lol |
| yes, the ladder part. I couldn't help laughing ~ |
 |
| So confusing, so creepy, so entertaining. I still think Nagisa everytime I hear Rena, and Rena acting nice only makes it worse. As for the ladder scene, that was more symbolic than dramatic: Keiichi in a helpless position, unable to do anything but hold on for his life while Mion(or Shion) is seemingly behind it all, making it worse. |
| That. Was. Creepy. I really jumped when she started laughing. The ladder thing was awkward, but it did spook me haha. |
| What the hell? Am I the only one not finding this creepy I just don't see it |
| The ending was so weird but funny at the same time keeps me interested :D |
 |
Wyvr said: This right here.Wow, i can't believe i like horror anime, it's kinda funny though :D |
 |
| So basically, all that was happening the day AFTER the festival, it was Mion but not Shion? *confused* |
| I looked up creepy in the dictionary and Higurashi no Naku Koro ni was the definition |
 |
| Boring. I can't watch this show seriously because of annoying characters and art. Derpyderp said: This anime hasn't been able to entertain me all that much so far.

| The character designs are indeed terrible, and some of the characterization needs some work. Having said that, it's still a pretty effective horror/suspense story. I just hope it doesn't take the whole 26 episodes to explain what's going on. |

| I think i understood..That Mion was actually Shion Two people got killed by Oyashiro Technically only two people got missing.. Shion and Satoko are cursed.. So only The village's leader and Rika got missing.. But I may be wrong .. So I'll wait till next episode :D |
-------Only God will judge me -------- iSignature |
| So im watching this episode right now, and I had to pause to LOL at mion's face during the ladder scene. WTF HHAHAHA |
| I think the one talking on the phone with Keiichi the whole time was Mion. Way to go Keiichi for figuring that out. Rena seems to know everthing though. I hope it will be explained later |
 |
| Mion is such a creep. The ending was weird. If Shion went missing, then was it Mion on the phone? |
| Oh God that was crazy. Its amazing. I was creeped out. |
 |
| Lol. I didn't understand what was Keichii is trying to say to "Shion" at the telephone.. All those questions he keeps on asking himself. :/ I'm CONFUSED. |
| The cat´s out of the bag. Mion´s words come to mind "She´s the evil one, whilst I´m the good one". And wtf is with Mion going berserk, luckily she didn´t used her gun (why does she carries a gun is anyone´s guess). |

| Dat ladder scene. Anyway, I am confused like most people here. But hopefully, everything will be clear during the next episode. Rena is pretty smart. But then again, most people know most of the things most of the time. Village Chief, Rika, and Shion disappear? I guess it's Mion on the phone. |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |
| This is brilliant! So my guess is Mion is nuts (fact!) and was taking her sister's place ever since she disappeared. But why? Oh and if it's like the first arc then next episode is when the Nice Boat arrives. I hope Keiichi survives this time. |
| Then the whole time on the phone, its been Mion...damn she has gone full psycho kidnapping and killing all of these people. |
 |
| The ladder part was weird, the voice didn't match with the animation. Her voice was too calm and just not synched to the action. But other than that, this show is just too good. So he was talking to Mion since the beginning? She was just messing the fact I guess. I still don't understand Rika role in all of this. |

| 1. mion + ladder = past creepy 2. rena + keiichi = boss detective 3. keiichi figuring out who was calling at the end of this episode was just epic |
| The ladder part... |
I_eat_pikmin said: The first 4 episodes were much better honestly. I agree with this. Since when Rena was this perceptive and smart? Unless she took part in the crime, which doesn't seem like it. |

| I don't know what to think.. This village clearly has something hidden behind their backs, this time not so much hidden because 4 people sneaked into the main Shrine and found out something that they should have not, ormaybe that's what this 4 people think, maybe the reason of why they're under berserk is another one, like the cop said to Maebara. And that implies that that cop is part of all of this, which leads me to think that the whole village is like a huge sect, in which are all involved. (Remebering when a large amount of people were defending Shion at the steps of the cafè from that 3 outsiders). And maybe Mion is the head of this clan, but thinking bout the past arc, in which Mion and Rena were calling out a phantomatic "director", makes me think otherwise.. But if the sect logic is right, Shion should not have disappeared. In fact at first I thought that the sneak into the Shrine was a plan made by Shion and that woman to make Maebara and the photographer believe that the Oyashiro-Sama's curse really exist, but then kill them because thay need people to sacrifice. But then the chief disappeared, and apparently even Shion did it, and the cop said if there was some other things they saw and Mion went nuts and Rika and Satoko disappeared.. there's so many questions.. |
