Haha! There's no really a definite meaning for moe. But it would be described as "something that turns you on".

Argh, it's so difficult to describe that word. But one thing sure is definite. The Rika-chama this episode is so full of moeness! LOL!

It's just supah kawaii! NIIPAH!

This is getting very interesting, but how am i supposed to figure it out? the characters kept getting killed in each arc, now theres another arc solving an arc i guess? thats where it throws me off.

ROFLLLL .. I laughed so much at that one xDDD .. but yeahh .. true..

The more I watch the more confusing I get.. I mean.. all the things I thought I knew got contradicted on this past arcs... I wonder where is this leading to. [I hope there's a logical explanation to most of what's happening .. or it'll be pretty pointless =x]

We're probably getting the logical explanation in the end,so we gotta keep watching! :>
Rika-chan's turn to be possessed by the demon? oO
She reminds me of both Suiseiseki from Rozen Maiden and Honey-senpai from Ouran. And probably of Pino from Ergo Proxy. Nipah moe desu~

I think that this is story variations of what happened and in the end they might show what really happened, just a guess

lol i looked up nipah and its a virus, the japanese version of encephalitic that is on pig farms lmfao im sure thats not what she means xD

Akasaka looks like keiichi a lot

Oh wow, first episode without Keiichi.
Didn't expect this either.
And just when I though I'd had figured out a pattern that would stay the same, it changes.

Also, Niipaaaaaa~!<3

Hmmm.. so someone other Keiichi is gonna get killed in this arc? This should be interesting. I did find this new character a bit bland though.

It appear that with every new arc a new character is introduced as well.

Alot of questions keep popping out when i think back on previous episodes.

I got a theory...

After the volcano thingy that killed everyone... the village is stuck in a time warp or something. After they die, the souls of those dead still linger in the place and their lives keep repeating again and again after death in different senarios.

It sounds pretty reasonable, but that would mean the third story arc started the whole cycle.

IMO, Akasaka should be the male protagonist of the series, not Keiichi. Or they should switch at every arc - one arc is Keiichi's, the second is Akasaka's.

Akasaka is going to die. Someone always dies, and he just seems like the kind of person that will be easily killed. He just seems to be too trusting.

That's where I would bet my money as well. Looks like he will be the leading character in this arc instead of Keiichi, which puts him in a high probability of death xD

They are really adding to the confusion and mixed story with jumping back in time though.

Its just like a horror movie where the inexperienced nice guy comes from the city into a creepy village in the middle of nowhere run by an evil family of crazy murderers. Everything starts out innocently enough, but then the city guy learns more about the village's dark past and eventually becomes the target of the village people and is brutally murdered in the end. Similar to those kinds of horror movies where I yell at the screen at the stupid protagonists, I kept yelling at Akasaka "Run! Run for your life! Get the hell outta there while you still have the chance!"

No Keiichi in this episode?! :P Oh well...
Akasaka is still cool.. but so helplessly clueless in what mess he got himself into! xD
This is getting more and more confusing instead of clearing up..
