Yeah, the ladder part was somewhat weird. So, it is really something that Mion is really what? The one who's psycho in this episode.

How can Chidori Kaname of FMP! laugh like that?! XD

Yeah,Rena is clever and seems to notice things straight away ^^
This anime represents creepiness at its finest: how is it possible for one girl (Mion) to go psycho one minute and completely sane in the next? It's like she has an evil spirit in her. That infamous ladder part... it was kinda off sync too o.O

Interesting ending..:S

I know right? Gah that creeps me out. But when you think about it, when Rena went psycho she acted normal later. I have the feeling this is because/related to what they mentioned in the shrine (the village being half demon or something) and that could be their demon side???
i have no idea, this is so confusing and creepy...but addicting:O ahh!

Hmmm...I'm still liking the last story better.
Personally, I wish they would have just stuck with one story, like the first one.
Instead of this serial story by story thing. It takes away the feel.
I mean, you can't take the story as serious when you know it's going to end a few episodes later and another is going to be reborn.

The suspense is definitely building and it is just as confusing as the last arc. I never even thought that Shion was missing. So I'm gonna guess that it was Mion the whole time then? Mion appears to be the pyscho in this one as well. The next episode appears to be the last one of this arc as well.

I'm starting to think that maybe this curse has something to do with the curse. Like maybe Keichii is suppose to change things or something along those lines. I don't know. I'm just trying to come up with a logical explaination when there is one. Just going to have to watch and find out.

Now that you mention it, she looked as she was shouting in a histerical way, yet she was speaking in a "normal"-sort of tone... well the creepy "normal"-sort of tone.

Agreed! I just love that psychopathic lust on her eyes and that histerical face when she is in "scary" mode! Is so moe in a way... xD

I got a burning question... How come everyone knew who the 4 person that went inside the shrine that night were? The photographer and the gurl thats with him died. So this leaves Keiichi and Sion still alive to tell the tale... the their possibility is that someone was secretly spying on them.

This anime just keeps getting more and more exciting... I love it!

A bit confused, though, about the whole thing with Shion telling the village elder and the elder going to the hospital and whatnot. What exactly was going on there?

I was thinking the same thing but I do not have a clue who it could be - come to think about it with the twins I am totally baffled.

I have a feeling that Mion actually went missing, but Shion is dressing and acting like Mion, so everyone thinks that Shion went missing and Mion is still there. I really think Shion is the one behind everything this time... if not, blahh :/

creepy laugh at the end.

Yet another very good episode.
Hm,so is Shion Mion or is Mion Shion now? I'm confused ^^
And i wonder about Rika gone missing because before the arc started you saw the "ending" of it, as i assumed. I also wonder if the arc is also going to end after 4 episodes...
I probably regret this post by now.

More quality mindfuck. Love how the general atmosphere is that of being choked, think it's the mixing of those ridiculously exaggerated comedic/cute moments with those of true horror that ultimately drain you out and leave you in complete disarray. There weren't even nearly as many intense situations as in the first four episodes and yet I reluctantly clicked on each following episode in fear of something utterly nasty awaiting.
