jdimaria3 said: I'm confused why she was happy he was acting like her brother before, and then she freaked out at the end? Like, what? Guess I'll have to keep watching to find out. The way the eyes widen and faces contort is so creepy Same thoughts here, mate. |

| Doesn't it feel like The main guy is knowing more and handling things more smoother than the past? Like him knowing about the three families thing and not overreacting on the killings. Its almost as if he is remembering little facts o_o |
| hmm I gotta admit this has been going downhill since the end of the 1st arc (peak of the series so far).... This seriously needed some sort of cohesion between the different stories they tell each arc. I almost couldn't believe the police detective is a bad guy now... And the story is kinda getting worse to follow or pay attention because we already know quite a bunch of it. I thought they were going to increasingly add new information that wasn't said previously in the other arcs instead of retelling what we already know, only in a different way... 8/10 so far |

| I feel like Satoshi used to abuse Satoko and that's one of the reasons he ran away. Seeing her snap on MC and their connection at this point makes me think that way. |
"So wave goodbye to the hope we were born with, and say farewell to the chance of surviving this holocaust of love, this age of lost souls, but I'm holding on with both hands and I'm never letting go." |
| HOW STRONG IS SATOKO?! :D Little girl lost it. |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| hm Satoko is the first character to interest me so far |

| You just had to touch her didn't you? Not once, but thrice. Sometimes I can't help but think Keiichi is a idiot. And that vomiting was the most gruesome thing I had ever seen. Made me cringe the most. In a horror series with blood and body parts no less. Everyone's life is pretty shitty. Rena was gf of Satoshi apparently, Mion is the son of the demon, (or daughter, whatever you want to call her), the female photographer is horny, Satoko has brother issues and abuse, and Riko is just innocent. WTF indeed. But atleast the MC seems to be better at handling things. Also, I bet the horny woman met Keiichi in previous timeline too. |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| Wtf this episode was so messed up. Mission failed, we could not protect her smile. This episode was so disturbing, probably more than even the murders. Poor Satoko had such a hard life. It's amazing she was able to be so joyful among her friends before her uncle came back. Also Satoko being able to cook has a new layer with this episode. Poor girl was probably forced to do all the chores in the house since a young age. Stop breaking my heart Higurashi. The beginning chapters of each arc where they gives us cheerful slice of life moments just adds salt to the wounds. |
<Insert clever quote> |
| Man, Ooishi is getting worse in every episode. But I feel bad for Satoko! She looks so traumatised! I thought that Sonozaki family can really choose the target of the curse. But it seems that a lot of things started to unveil. |

| Keiichi and friend want to help Satoko. |
| And this is why you should not head pat lolis |
 |
| I feel so bad for Satoko, hope her uncle will stop abusing her. |
 |
| Poor girl I really feel bad for her. Never thought Oishi would ever be such a jerk. |
| Every time I think Keiichi's stupidity is maxed out, the surprises me. How dumb does someone have to be to accuse one of his friends to be involved in a murder plot, wth? |
| Miyo is too suspicious to be not be some kind of mastermind. She dies in every route , but there's never any proof that she is truly dead. |
| I hate everyone equally |
| ''You still haven't remembered my name?'' Sounds like it's his 3rd life already and Miyo also knows it. |
| I hate everyone equally |
| Keiichi seems to resemble Satoko's "Nii Nii" A LOT. They already revealed in the first arc that Keiichi did the same things as Satoshi right before he "transferred out". The story keeps getting more and more interesting. |
| Oh my poor Satoko-chan Also what's going on with Oishi-san, it's kinda sus bro... And how the fuck can Satoko-chan pushed Keiichi across the classroom lol |

| I was also thinking that he should tell Mion to kill Satoko's uncle. Was the last part her remembering Satoshi or a bad memory? |
| --AbiSa-- |
| A fine setup, a bit lessen the tension compared to the second episode at the first two arcs. Oh well, Satoko said sorry! I smelt a trance, there! Okay, at this timeline, Satoko's uncle back from his escape, only to torture and gave a mental illness to Satoko. God must be damn! At this point, i even didn't surprised at all, if Keiichi die again. Because of his wrong act to be too kind to Satoko, and crossed the borderline to awakened her paranoia. Or another scenario possible happened like Satoko killed herself, his uncle, and then Keiichi because he had a similarity like his older brother. Oh well, this was completely different from before. I didn't even feel any connections from the previous one, especially with the zombie thingy. Also, thats some great information, Rika. I really appreciated that! And whats the role of the doctor coach here? Okay. Patience is the key. So i should pretend nothing happened big here and let me see the next. The festival! |

| Damn, Oishi acting kinda evil in this arc. Satoko has lived a shit life so far, gaddamn. Parents dead, brother missing, uncle abusing her. Give Satoko some happiness ;(. On another note Miyo is very sus. Damn, does Satoko have super strength cause she just yeeted Keiichi with ease lmao. But, fuck man what type of shit did she remember about her brother to act like that :(. |
 |
| Based on what she said I'm guessing Takano was possessed this episode. That or she remembers the last two arcs somehow. Kind of surprising to see the Keiichi of this route wishing death to Satoko's uncle, but I guess it with good reasoning since he wants to protect her from the abuse. Saotoko's reaction when Keiichi touched her hints that Satoshi might not have been such a good brother either. |

| Looks like Ooishi is getting worse and worse each arc. The first four episodes he was basically a pure guy, the second arc he tried to covertly use Keiichi as an excuse to raid the Sonozakis, and now he's just bad right from the get go. I also wonder if they'll be able to solve this predicament, as Satoko herself is suffering but she just refuses from any help. Judging from how the neither of the last two arcs had particularly happy endings, I'm think it will be really interesting how this one will end as well. |
| Poor Satoko, seeing her breakdown at the end of the episode was heartbreaking. |
| So Keiichi is the heir of the Maebara residence here? So in this reality, he's a descendant of a famous family like the Sonozaki? Damn, this reality's Oishi is a dick. He was threatening a fricking kid like bruh. Poor Satoko and Satoshi had to go through child abuse. I'm glad that bitch aunt died. That fucking asshole uncle is back and that mf is abusing Satoko. I really hope he gets brutally torture-murdered. Seems like the Sonozaki's have no power over controlling the murders in this reality. It breaks my heart to see Satoko like that. Poor kid is traumatised. |

| hm so we have a weird pedo, an abusive uncle, and a little girl with ptsd. really curious as to how this ones gonna play out after that opening.... poor satoko:( |
| The anime keeps rather strictly to the visual novel, aside of some compression of scenes. So it allows us to see the same scenes actually acted out, instead of mere textual description. While the latter provides significantly more immersion, the former allows us to see characters in action. In this particular episode I found seeing the acting especially interesting, when Satoko had her breakdown in the classroom. Overall though, I recommend reading the visual novel over this adaptation. The visual novel takes its time, immerses the reader carefully and resolutely in the setting, characters, and plot. To a degree that an anime adaptation never could, no matter what. |
