I don't think I'm getting enough variations so far, lol. Right now just feels like I'm watching the original all over again. I know it's only episode 7, but I think it's about time to start getting some differences. This is actually starting to feel slower... lmao. I like the small changes they are making, but nothing has been substantial enough for me yet, unless I'm just heavily underrating everything.


You are heavily underrating everything.

All I can say without spoiling anything to new viewers is that this arc is remake of Wataganashi-hen.


What? Didn't you notice the little differences that could change story?

Well damn things are going down, tension surely rising right now...

Rika surprised us with the eyes 😱

Also Kimiyoshi the Village Head is missing, but I'm not sure if they show his face once in this Anime yet... Maybe just for a second 🤔

Well then... oops. lol. I really liked the change with Rena beating the shit out of Keiichi.. but then he lives. Then it likes oh btw Satoko and Rika are also dead and Rena is missing. It was truly comical the way that happened.

Rika at the end of episode 7 was purely fantastic, though. I especially loved that addition.

He lived just like he lived in Wtanagashi-hen. He dies after he screams.

And should be obvious that most if not everything Keichi saw after Rena hit her head on the table were his delusions. After all he has no stab wounds in the hospital nor are the bandages and neckbracer a thing he would need with what we saw in their fight.

Well then consider me deluded as well, then. Lol. I thought it was all odd, but if you're correct in saying all that, then it makes sense and lets me appreciate it a little more. Also I thought that arc was the parallel to Onikakushi-hen?

Not really parallel. It was supposed to be Onikakushi, as Rika assumed, but unlike Onikakushi, it seems like Rena has already killed Rina and Teppei, as seen in Tsumihoroboshi.
This time it is her that goes level 5 and thinks Keichi is working with Ooishi and Rika to get her. But for a large part the events are played like in Onikakushi and we get only Keichi's pov.

Hmm, you could say that it is parallel to Onikakushi since this time Rena is actually suspicious of Keichi and it isnt just his delusions. But that is all;thematically it is all about deceiving Rika(and us).

Even though it is not blood, a change is still shown between the before and after the conversation with rika. it's an interesting detail and I don't even think it's a mistake or something totally irrelevant, because there is a minimum focus on the shots to show thhis. It could also be an aesthetic choice to show a contrast between

I believe it is a mistake. It isnt the first anyway. Rena's scratches in Onidamashi would disappear in some shots, if not all if them after w seem them the first time, for example.

It is an old building in village. It is most likely rust that they missed in the first shots.

And it is a kinda weird detail for an HS symptom.

This seems like something out of Silent Hill not Hinamizawa.

I didn't mention anything here, but I at some times that rust really looked like blood. But it was rust anyways, that's why I didn't bother, but it was surely blood colored.

Holy shit I didn't know she could make that voice. And I'm not just talking about Rika but Yukari Tamura xD. I always hear her with that super moe voice so this took me by surprise lol.


Yeah dude, Yukari Tamura is my favorite voice actress and Rika is probably my favorite role of hers. I love her as Nanoha Takamachi and as Suzuha Amane; but her vocal range with Rika is just so impressive.

Rika was scary, I was wondering when her hidden MC powers would activate again though.

I dont remember the original show well, shouldnt she work towards breaking the loop considering she is aware of it? Or rather aware that she is stuck in the loop after already breaking it again?

It kinda feels like its back to beeing just a remake, sure they need to be watchable for newcomers since they didnt advertise it as a sequel, but I still expected more

All you had to do was not enter that house and not hear that story, whyyyyy???
I feel that Shion and Keichi are gonna die next episode. Hope none of them go psycho.
Also, I don't know who to trust anymore. Everybody is a time bomb.

Really random, but I just realized that this episode kinda validates the existence of the Cat Killing Chapter Special cause it's basically describing the pit (where the demons emerged).
That's nice :)

I am thinking Rika may have deliberately told K1 a more comprehensive version because he may remember other worlds. Does she know from a different timeline, perhaps, that he has visions of killing Rena and Mion? Ultimately, telling him would slightly reinforce his memory/subconscious altogether, especially if she elicits very strong emotions, as she has in this episode.

I found it hilarious how they all knew he was bullshitting and Keichii thought they bought it (not sure if he was just trying to impress Shion).

What I find nonsense though is that what's the point of Shion working in a maid cafe if her father is the head of a Yakuza. 😒

She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did!

I can't wait to see kei man up and fuck shion in the puss but he is such a cowardly beta and he just spazes out and doesn't control the situation its insufferable.

That was a really weak end to a great arc. The lighting was awful, the shaky cam looked weird, and so much was cut out.

Wrong flags and choices have been triggered. Let's see the conclusion of this route and reload to an earlier save.

Just like in VNs with lots of endings and routes, without a walkthrough you'll always end up dead. Reminds me of the good ol Bible Black days. hehe

Can agree. He is a bit boring, but an ok guy overall, i guess. I don't hate him that much.
