| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Shion back there was creepy. i like it! haha. XD |
| Hahaha! She was really the demon afterall? Hahahah! Really! A great twist, I never really thought that it would be Shion and not Mion. |
     |
| blehh .. this wasn't too surprising =s ... since the last ep this was already expected, I just didn't think Shion was in place on Mion when she was talking to Keiichi @ 14:11 ... ohh .. and ... OMG OMFG .. I was gonna say .. "and how she killed mion and kei at the hospital".. but I rewatched ep 8 really fast and ... Shion killed Mion and throwed her to the well and got to the hospital as Shion itself ... that's how mion was dead on THAT day .... and that's how Shion 'swiched' back to herself and killed Kei at the end.... brilliant.. gonna watch the next ep tomorrow and see if I'm right =P PS: Some quotes from ep 7-8 when we thought it was mion and was Shion on her place =) "The ogre has been carved into this body as well" <- She was Shion, so she couldn't show them the 'ogre' on her back xD "Looks like shion liked you too" - she is telling she likes him?? "I think I know now why Mion fell for you" - obvious and true statement, now I find myself stupid that after hearing that I didn't even suspect she was shion "I made it in time" - she decided to let him alive.. but then.. something changed her mind, I wonder what... PS2: Or takano has a twin too, or how could she have entered the shire? she was already dead ORR .. the immulated body of takano isn't her and takano is STILL alive I'm LOVING this anime, it's becoming a true master piece!!!!! |
| Hah. Fear the taser, fear with great ph33r :P |
 Damnit! Don't die without my permission! |
| Wow,I think I noticed there was something unusual about "Mion" but I thought that the possibility of the two switching places was very low. I was hoping there was something like that and there it is! ^^ What a masterpiece Higurashi is... And Shion's good at acting. Fear her... :S |
| What is this?? Liek a flashback into a different chapter or something??? o___o That and... how the heck did Shion get a taser?? xD... she's scary... especially her eyes:  Interesting ._. |
     Sig WILL change soon~ |
| WOAAAAHHH, i knew it ! This is so good, everythings falling into place and making sense ! Especially when "Mion" had appeared and killed Kei in the hospital, wow wow wow, I love this to bits ! Even though im huddled under a blanket while I watch it, I'm enjoying every second of it ! |

| its actually making sence now lol |

| OMFG Shion was the demon :o everytime it was scary i squized my gf arm real hard i hoipe she doesnt get a blue arm from it Y_Y anyways up to the next ep... Grtz lsumi o(^^)o |
| Born to live Born to die Born to be, crucified Give our souls and take our pride Bleeding for the harder styles Rising up, from the seed Born to change, history From the streets we unleash hell Feel the power, decibel!! d(^.^)b |
| Everything is falling into place. But why did Shion end up killing Keiichi at the end of ep 8? |
 Higurashi: Retroactively asserting why scary and cute sound so similar in Japanese. |
| So much is finally startin to make sense. I never really thought it would be Shion behind it all. I just thought it was Mion because the first arc showd how pyscho she could get, but it turns out Shion can get pyscho as well. |
| Woa~ The this episode twisted my ideas :-/ I was totally wrong :P |

| Has anyone noticed when you see Shion, that when her hair covers her eyes, you can see the outlines of her eyes through her hair? Creepy..... |

Genix said: patient_senses said: It's about time things start to make sense. So arc 4 is like a prequal to arc 3 and arc 5 is a prequal to arc 2 and so the next will explain arc 1 more. I can't wait for arc 6 in that case because arc 1 is my favorite so far. Rena is interesting. I want to know more about her. Every other charcter has been explained a bit so I take it the next arc will explain her. Just like in the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya! Granted, this is even more shuffled xD But I like it that way. Anyway, everything is slowly starting to make more sence. But by the looks of it, if this is the prequel of the events in arc 2, Shion goes berserk and kills Mion and her granny in this arc... But in arc 2, Mion is the one that goes berserk... Or was it Shion posing as Mion? ...Argh!! So confusing! I should had marathoned this instead... meh too late now T__T So it was Shion! She went berserk and killed everyone! Back in arc 2, I thoguht that there were real zombies involved.... I guess I was wrong! :S I was hoping for Shion to go crazy and kill in this arc! Yay me ^^ ^Thanks for pointing all that out! belial said: "I think I know now why Mion fell for you" - obvious and true statement, now I find myself stupid that after hearing that I didn't even suspect she was shion At the time, I thought that it was the "Ogre" spirit talking.... So I didn't suspect anything was "wrong" at all, either. belial said: PS2: Or takano has a twin too, or how could she have entered the shire? she was already dead ORR .. the immulated body of takano isn't her and takano is STILL alive Hmmm true... then again, my "Zombie" idea might not had been that far-fetched after all... Another thing unxplained is: Why did Shion killed Keiichi in the end? Change of heart? Became psychopathic after all she went through? I'll find out next episode... But after this, I gained much more respect for the anime... It was not that random after all. I didn't know the "answer" arcs would be this good! |
| Woah, it's all making sense now. |
 |
| Amazing episode, Oyashiro's curse is explained. |
| Starting to make a lot more sense now. Also Shion going around tasering everyone is just awesome. This anime is <3 |
| Ah.... so it WAS Shion back in that other arc. Starting to make sense finally. |
| I love how were seeing exactly what Shion was thinking when she disguised herself as Mion talking to Keiichi, and why she did everything she did. Craaaaaazy~ |
I'd like tossing your salad.-"Yuru"/MMMKD DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM MOTHERFUCKER?-SophieWophie<3 |
| You know I realized it was Shion that did all the crazy shit from the 1st episode, i guess everyone was to concerned with the whole finger torture that they didn't notice the obvious. |
| Yeah payback time, baby bye bye old hag XD but what was with Shion's face ,it look like she tried to transform into Hulk. |

| Shion may be right in her vengance, but she's still too crazy o.o I feel kinda bad for Kei chan... |

Or, we prefer to watch it and find out for sure before making an assumption that we know who is behind it, perhaps. There is nothing in the previous episodes to suggest that Shion is definitely behind it all. Good episode. Go Taser! |

| It's all starting to make some sense. It still doesn't explain how keiichi was killed twice, but i think we can ignore that part. |
 |
| Ooishi hinted it was Shion and not Mion in episode 8. Easy to have seen this coming. |
unlisted said: Exactly my though, Shion is just way to disturbed now and I'm actually starting to despise her.pacuuuuu3 said: Shion may be right in her vengance, but she's still too crazy o.o I feel kinda bad for Kei chan... I liked Shion more than Mion when she appeared but it appears that she is a nutcase. Beware of the crazy bitched with tazers^^ |
| Axe murderers, zombies, vampires, they got nothing on Shion with a taser. I'm 26 and I find that i'm a little scared of a teenage girl with abandonment issues. |
| I have to admit that after the 2nd arc. I thought that I could probably not give this series a 10... But after this arc. explaining everything... HELL YEAH!!! Now it's on it's way to a 10 again yippiie!! :) |
| wow, big suprise but it make sense now! awesome episode |
| Wow this is really interesting . its starting to make sense now eh :P |
 |
| so now we are finding out the whole story of the second story arc. hoping to find out in the next episode why were Rika and Satoko killed. |
unlisted said: Lol. Just a bit. I liked Shion more than Mion when she appeared but it appears that she is a nutcase. I'm lovin' this arc. |
 |
| could someone please take that taser away from Shion? xD |
Sayonara,papa! "Just how a mirror reflects you,people will also reflect your heart." ~Athena Glory,Aria "Whatever happens,happens" ~Spike Spiegel's thoughts on dying(Cowboy Bebop) |
| Ohhhh. This is explaining things in such an easier sense. And wow, I never saw the whole Mion being Shion thing coming... I thought it was alittle bit weird back in episode 8, but I didn't think twice of anything. Shion being a mastermind to avenge Satoshi... who would've guessed? There are only some things making sense now. There's still a whole lot more of confusing crap. |
 |
| Shion O_O |
 |
| Shion is simply awesome. |
| So Shion was playing the part for both sisters..Looks like we are closing to an end.. |
 |
| This explains a lot of the questions I had for the second arc. So it was all Shion after all |
| Wow. It was actually Mion in the cage. |
| This anime is much better then expected, I thought it were random arcs but they're really starting to connect and stuff... nice :) |
| Great episode , finally something makes sense. |
| Shion has snapped. How sad that Keiichi had to be the bait. It's nice to see what really happened. |

 |
| This is so much less scary when things get explained. |
| OMG so when Mion asked Keichii about that again it was just Shion!!! WOW it all makes alot more seance now!!! Shion was the one that tried to kill Keichii!!! whoa i would have never guessed haha. . .i cant believe Grannie died... although she was a little messed up so awe well... and poor Mion doesnt deserve that!!! it was every1 else not her!!! =( the whole thing is really interesting though!!! and i wonder whats gonna happen to Mion DX ... the meeting was interesting... i feel bad that no one cared when she said things about ppl getting punished... all in all GREAT epi!!! it made many things make seance!!! |
