It was alright. The first part was kinda' funny, but the episode itself wasn't very entertaining. |

after seeing Kai and everything, now this seems a bit interesting as you can imagine what happened there =p I wonder what takano was hiding there!? .... and the Sulfur explanation was to deceive the watcher, previous to Kai they still had that excuse of the whole village dieing from Volcanic Gas Not much happened on this one, but I liked it =p |

Does anyone know how I can get this? AFAIK you need to collect vouchers from the DVDs of the first series. Would I be able to get them from yesasia.com? And will there be a time limit as to when you can use them? Because I can't afford to get the whole set all at once. (£40 for 3 episodes is a lot of money) edit - Before anyone says, no I don't want to download it. I want to get the legal DVD because this anime is awesome :p |

Eh, nothing too special. I don't really think any of this is going to be important in the scheme of things. It was just a ghost story and some cosplay. |

Pretty boring...I don't understand where they get the name "Cat Killing Chapter" though O_o; After watching KAI, we really dont need to really understand this part...although still quite interesting about the ghost part. Oh and one question that I may have missed information on... I noticed that when Mion was cosplaying and such she had no tattoo on her back...is it just something that appears or was it a lie she told in that chapter? o_o; |

I thought it had some funny parts to it but other than that it's nothing special. |

This idiom is also used in Japanese. You have to remember that Mion has a twin sister as well. |

Other than the cosplaying, and funny intro content, this special wasn't very good. Maybe that workman was with the Yamainu? But what the hell would Miyo send people there for? Argh... I guess this is just to be ignored, since it doesn't feel like it's related to the canon at all.

But i doubt that was Shion. Maybe the production team just screwed up? xD ~Nipa |

Hmm . . . Watched this not too long ago. The "Hole" story was pretty interesting. And the cosplay made me giggle. Though, I'm not sure how Nekogoroshi ties with the actual Higurashi unless it has to do with the "curse". All in all, good special, but kind of disappointing in a way. |

I'm glad that no cat got actually killed. Fine episode, nothing exceptional, but enjoyable. Keii-chan in a maid suit was the best thing ever. forlacik said: Not really, Mion's looking like a cow in her cow suit.Mion's looking hot in her cow suit. |

Good special. I liked the haunted quarry story. It was really interesting. Too bad it was never mentioned in the main story, so it'll remain a mystery. =P And Mion was looking good BTW! XD 7/10 ^_^ (This was very nostalgic... I miss Higurashi... -_- ) |

I personally never enjoyed these "batsu-game" sequences and thought it detracts from the creepy and haunting mood of the series that drew me to it in the first place. Though, I did enjoy the "hole" mystery and their incorporation of the music and light effects that added to the haunting atmosphere while the girls were narrating it. I wonder whether the worker is supposed to be the ghost of the president who murdered his family. |

For those who have seen Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai In Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, it seems all people are killed by a volcanic gas, so it smells sulfurous, to prevent watchers? No, in Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai, we know now that it's Miyo and the Yamainu who killed all people themself, after Rika's death with a gas or something else. So, viewing a Yamainu as a guard in the mine, smelling sulfurous there? Thinking it's just a good place to be a weapon warehouse for the Yamainu, to store the gas they use later "in prevention". And we know with the Yamainu, "be too curious is being dead", so they killed the boy and his father, who have discovered this warehouse? Mion's cosplay > * |

It makes sense that the gas they use to kill everyone is stored in there, which also explains why it smells like sulfur. You probably discovered the mystery behind the the haunted quarry. ^_^ |

So, serious question. If Mion is strutting around all that time in a bathing suit, where's her tattoo? Although, I noticed it never showed her back fully (her hair was always covering part of it) but shouldnt we have been able to see at least some of it? EDIT: I missed the post earlier where someone mentioned it, and I doubt it was Shion as well. Then again, her hair was covering most of her back, so that could be why we didnt see it. |

I heard that that was a mistake made by the producers, but I'm not 100% sure. :| Even so, I seriously doubt that it was Shion. That would be pointless and meaningless. :P |

Haaah. Wat. Oh well, "nipaa~". And also, what I really love, is that the animation is so much better than in the original series~ And due to the lack of Shion, I'll just have to do with Mion <3 |
Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(゚Д゚щ) Nope™, probably not. |

I was enjoying the gorgeous new animation quality, getting drawn into the story of the abandoned quarry it when it occurred to me how I might wanna mouse over the WMP window and see the duration of this thing. It was almost over. What? The pacing was kinda thorough and slow so I didn't expect any great mystery to be resolved but this was basically just teasing. Oh well, still enjoyed it, and it is only a special so...can't complain. |

OMG this was amazing! I loved how every1 bet their bodies for their chips... and in the end NO one won?! haha ppl got nose bleeds XD i thought by the "hole" they meant like the hole to wonderland cuz of Keiichi's outfit... i was looking froward to that XP but i guess now... hehe and i liked the end where it actually got to the short special... well it as a great epi!

My speculations: The strange man in the hole is a Yamainu worker. Yamainu clearly has power over the police, hence the reason the police reporting, "there was no one at the quarry." Sulfuric acid, which is fatally dangerous, was probably the gas that was used to kill the villagers during Hinamizawa Disaster(or something like that). But overall, nothing really important happened. The best part really is the cosplay |
