CANT BE this was only 6yrs prior. Keichii is 16yo meaning hes 10yo at this time and living in Tokyo AND the baby's a GIRL.

Wow, how did I miss these hints about Rika the first time I watched this series..





Watching it the second time, it's easier to catch all the information they throw at you when I barely knew what was happening the first time I watched it.

That dude is gonna get killed.He should have run back to Tokyo. Sonozaki are definitely on to him. Dude's got a pregnant wife at home. If they found out it was a newbie, they could have killed him at any time. He has been compromised. He should have run back and said his prayers.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

Seems like the story yet again, completely shifted, this time to a different person entirely. Well, it's interesting, they're exploring that town from a different perspective.

When I saw the Mamoru guy, I knew something bad will happen to him. The story about the dam is continue unfolding. Rika chan is really cute but it was shocking to see that she was possessed?

Ok, so no answers on whether or not Satoko's abusive uncle is alive since this is a new timeline. This timeline's off to a good start. Definitely has my interest piqued more than the last one.

Rika was fun, and creepy, and then funny when she passed out after being possessed.

I don't recall if they've mentioned this Akasaka guy in previous episodes, but I hope he doesn't die. I kinda like him.

FIrst different arc, not only are we in the past but we also have a different protagonist. I don't assume that he'll stay alive much longer though.

Maebara can't be Okasaka's son.Look at the time gap.
Maebara is 15-17 when he is first introduced.

I see that every arc we got to know the Hinamizawa a little bit better.
So far we know Oyashiro curse is real. Oyashiro could possess someone, as this one Rika got possessed.

When they showing Akasaka and his wife pregnancy, oh hell, this doesn't look good on this series. Yes, Akasaka might be dead and the wife with newly born baby becomes widow.

I guess this arc is sort of like a prequel to the third arc? I think it's a really great decision to finally dedicate an arc to give some backstory to the whole Hinamizawa situation. A lot of questions are still unanswered, though.

Rika's "Nii-pa~" was really, really cute by the way.

I seriously fear for this guy. He has a pregnant wife at home for Fuck's SAKE!
He seriously needs to go back to Tokyo.
I'll never be able to like Oishi again after the last arc.

It looked like that this arc wasserves as a prequel, a basic background to the story for the events that have happened from the first arc. That was the time before the serial killings occured every year. When Hinamizawa in a heat tense, about the damn constructions. Of course, this was before the first arc arrived. My concern was that it's a pity knewing the National policeman that served as an agent too sent someone with the same characteristics and typical as like as Keiichi. So, I won't be surprised anymore if he died at the end of this arc. XD

Besides that, its like this arc also supposed to be Rika's personality basic building, which for the past 3 arcs hasn't been explored much in a nice length. Well, it's very interesting, a supernatural things already appeared and its very obvious, especially when suddenly a little Rika changed her voice and said something strange. That should be a sign. However, as i said before, as a nice MC he didn't let the chance to revealed the mystery of Hinamizawa village!

So, thats it. Its good to see the three big family of the village that led by such a gruesome woman like, yeah, i mean, that Mion! Thats it for now. As a built up phase its okay.lets see the next one....

Damn, I feel like this is gonna be an important arc. But, yeah I agree Rika was adorable lmao.

Akasaka is for sure gonna die, or I might be wrong but he most likely will. This is very interesting though, seeing the past and the three great families. They seem shady as fuck but, there's definitely more than meets the eye. Well I am looking forward to how this arc will unfold.

Ohk so... Keichi is not the mc anymore right now. It seems like the story also changed again but this time it took it 5 episodes to complete rather than 4. And this time the story is happening during the dam construction revolt. So keichi has not transferred to the village yet, so I hope we won't see him now. Let's see what happens

So all this stuff happened before the first murder took place.

We got more exposition on the 3 big families of Hinamizawa. The third family was the Maebara's right? That lady looked like Keiichi's mom. It must be her.

Rika got possessed by Oyashiro-sama or smth?

Why do I feel like Akasaka would be the 'chopped-up govt. official'?
