This episode i say had it all.
I cried so much! This is seriously the best episode yet.

It had a few good revealings too, though i already played through the game so not much of a surprise to me. But anyway OMFG GO Akasaka!

Once the ED rolled, I was in tears. Of joy! And after the ED...

Anyway, that was the best episode of Higurashi Kai yet. And there's still two more to come. I need them now! No, wait! Once I see them, there will be no more! ARGH!

Great? Best episode? I love Higurashi to death (ha!) but I've never seen an episode before this one that felt so forced. A lot of the events felt rather shallow compared to other Kai episodes. It was still good but nothing great. However, I'm looking forward to more.

Haha; indeed: Great episode? Or GREATEST episode?

When the credits rolled, I was like "What, it's over?!" For all the Higurashi episodes, time just flies by -- it's so much fun.

Akasaka is inhuman. o.o I want to know what kind of training he had for that much strength; it was almost silly how strong he was. As if Hanyuu murmured a little spell for him.

And she slapped Rika. zomg.

Considering that Akasaka's been training for five years (since he first met Rika in Himatsubushi-hen), I'd say it makes perfect sense. Especially since the motivation for his training was to become more useful so he can save Rika.

I have this feeling for about 4-5 eps now in a row ;) But this time it realy was shorter before ending.

Sure this ep star is akasaka xD And i was surprised with Rika :> In such a dangerous situation she was thinking 'bout big breast :p

But somehow I think this is changing in a war to much ;/ Are we going to see entire village fight for Rika in the end ? And Oishi going berserk with his comrades? Hope I'm in a BIG mistake here xD (well, for sure I'm)

I thought the exact same thing. This episode was so fast paced compared to the others, but it's a nice change.

Akasaka was godly, maybe more so than Hanyuu ^_^

Best episode of the season bar none. Hanyuu taking the upper hand in her relationship with Rika-chama, Satoko's nee-nee, Akasaka pwnage, but best of all, Shion's "chance from god".

I did cry a little when Rika said she's going to get taller and grow breasts... they can't stay lolis forever ^_^"

Anyway, amazing episode and more proof of what an amazing show it is. This series overall (both seasons combined) has a very strong chance of becoming one of my Top 5.

wow, another awesome episode, cordiality of higurashi

akasaka and his super martial art techniques were awesome, he so pwned the whole yamainu, and i bet he became cooler (yes even cooler) than before.

hanyuu is really getting a better personality, but i want to hear her auuauuu more other than in the preview xD.

rika was cute when she said she wanted to grow and have larger breasts...

and shion revealinig mion's feelings for keiichi (which were obvious for us) was the pwnage of the episode. keiichi blushing ftw xD

cant wait for more higurashi goodness

What I loved was... how Shion told Keiichi she didn't want to waste time teaching her how to use his gun AND they asked Akasaka if he can use rifles and he said no..

SO FINALLY!!

I think they will FINALLY get into Keiichi and his GUNS??? I want to know SOMETHING about him shooting little children, seriously. -.-

Also. I made an Akasaka fan club a few days ago after I sawt his, haha. I always loved him, but this was it for me. ALSO!

... Also.. he looks so much like Keiichi in his younger picture that it's scary -

Is it just for me or animation quality really dropped? Weird body proportions, strange physics, etc.

Damn, this anime goes for "OMG, ze happy end". That's so not like higurashi.
And now they protrayed them all as super heroes or something.

At least they could have killed few badguys or something...

Next episode is called bloody battle, so I hope it will really be bloody.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL is my review over this episode.

It did not make any sense at all towards the end XD.
So, the yaimanu got close to Shion and that other guy im presuming with their guns, wacked Shion and that other guy or something unconcious... This makes sense.

BUT Akasaka pops up from his disguise and saves Rika and his ass by bashing the crap out of the yaimanu with out of nowhere martial arts super power (with LOL animation by the way, i was laughing so hard) managing to make all of them, up to 30 yaimanu might i add as Rika said, which were supposedly also armed with guns, run away scared shitless from Akasaka's super special awesome martial arts???

Whatever, *onto next ep!~

i wanted to see batman sound effects like bang, pow ,pang !!! by far the worst episode of the series !! Its episodes like this that made higurashi lose its status.(atleast in my eyes).I knew that evryone must survive in the last arc but make it like this.... what they were thinking ????!?!? At least the last episode wasnt so bad.

Akasaka destroyed with his martial arts skills, but weren't the Yaimanu supposed to have guns? Oh well, whatever works, also it seems Satoshi is alive making me wonder who was the blonde in the trash bag in the beginning of that one episode in the first series.

One of the worst episodes yet. Shion appears on the scene all of a sudden and she just takes it al for granted? Random police officer takes out an army of Yamainu with a punch and a kick? Miracles? Don't give me that shit. The ending better make up for this.

Loved the episode, but I can relate to the people disliking it a little bit. First it does seem out of character to have higurashi to have so much physical action in a short amount of time. Just having the fight seemed kind of out of character, it seems like an unusually happy time, right? But where have all the arcs with happy moments led us too? No need for an answer. Though I do sort of wish that higurashi had retained the more mental warfare that was prominent in the first series, having a bit of fighting is good every once in a while, especially if it makes you smile and want to say PWNED!
