Good episode, I enjoyed seeing things get harder for that Takano.

Also the truth behind the death of Satoko's parents was interesting. Looking forward to more.

Wow, even though I can see the motivation behind what Takano does she is truly evil. Also it seems that Satoko murdered her own parents furthering my dislike of her. The ending was also pretty funny with the top five perverts.

Oh oh oh, I wonder what is to come !

Damn Miyo, I guessed from the beginning of this episode, it was she who had killed Rika's parents. She's an evil mastermind I tell you ! :) I miss the main cast though, and their games !

Satoko murdering her own parents, I can't see myself disliking her. I do dislike her annoying cries, "nii-nii" sorry, no offense to her voice actor, I just found it annoying. I hold no grudge against her though, :D<3 she's great. But I agree with the doctor, it wasn't murder nor an accident, it was a tragedy. D:

Interesting-again.
Rika's parents are finally introduced. So the one who started this "curse" myth was Miyo. Nothing supernatural involved there. No volcanic gases involved, nothing supernatural there ether. The only supernatural thing, is the loli-beign, Hanyuu.

I don't quite understand why Takano wanted Rika to stay at the hospital and thus to remove her parents. I thought she wanted to kill Rika? The entire first season was about someone trying to kill Rika, so why was she so keen on keeping her? Is it because her original plan did not involve killing her? *confused*

Frustrated because of Takano. I pity her and hate her at the same time. *sigh*

QFT. And I still don't get why Takano wants to blow the Hinamizawa Syndrome out of proportion by killing Rika and the villagers. Maybe I'm missing something here.

It could be about wanting recognition/revenge/overturning the fundamentals of humanity etc. But seriously what's her point exactly? I wish she could just state that outright. :(

We are starting to get the part of the story that involves the past before 1983, but they still haven't began to explain the actual year of the perpetual June, why is it happening and why is Rika the only one being aware of it...

Still hating Takano, in fact more than ever. Your Sensei would definitely not be proud of you !

Well I think we will probably see Satoshi once more before the arc gets to 1983, or am I wrong ?
I probably regret this post by now.

Rika was so happy then, how cute.

After seeing how Irie and Takano really were around each other. I don't see how he ever backed her up.

I figured that Satoko pushed her parents off the cliff a few episodes ago.

I'm not really liking this arc since it's mainly been Takano so far. -_-

A new character at this point? Oi.

Also, what's with the top 5 pervert image thing? I didn't see that at all. D=

Take into consideration they aren't really mocking the theory, they know it is true. They were personally attacking her ego because they want to discontinue her project. It was basically a bunch of guys trying to decide how the money should be used, and truth be damned.

Also a little answer to someone, no they didn't find a cure, just a treatment. There's plenty of diseases that can be staved off for decades with proper treatment, this includes HIV, yet they can't be cured or the cure has not been found yet.

I pretty much assumed it was Satoko who killed her parents a while ago. It's fairly ironic that she thought in her deranged state that killing them would make her happy, then she goes to live with her aunt and uncle.

1) Dam construction manager - killed by dam workers
2) Satoko's parents - supposedly pushed off by Satoko herself?
3) Rika's parents - killed by Takano
Explanations are WIN
This is going to be a loooooong arc, not that there's anything wrong with it
