| what a boring ass arc |
| WTF!!! I am left speechless. So much happening, and that twist at the end to shake things up. I am so confused, and so intrigued! |
| I am so incredibly confused. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| So, wait, are you telling me that Keichi really goes away alone with Mion after she admitted in front of him and Rena to be a killer? And then proceeds to go down the stairs into a super creepy room/basement with her? I still like this anime, but there must be a limit to how stupid a screenplay can be. |
SandraLy said: I’m actually surprised at how no one is pointing out how stupid these characters are. Their actions make no sense, whatsoever. Watching this episode made me lose brain cells. YES! Exactly my thoughts. |
| I wonder how everyone automatically knew that Kei, Shion and the others had sneaked into the shrine. Was someone watching them? Apparently, Mion also knew. I mean it's clear she knew but I thought it was more like strong suspicions. The Sonozaki family and its yakuza group seem to be the big bad here (especially Mion). Are they just abducting and gutting people for entering the shrine or smth? Shouldn't the Furude family be angry since they are the priest family? Wait, hold up, this isn't making much sense to me. So the Sonozaki family always had an heir who carried the blood of the ogres and was a monster deep down? Idk but that's what I'm getting. Also Mion killed Rika and Satoko??? How can Kei and Rena be so calm about all of this? She basically confessed to all the murders. She has her very own torture chamber, dungeon and jail cells to carry out the murders. She also betrayed Kei. Her parents live with Mion, but she lives with her grandma, right? Where is she? Did she kill her too? So glad that Rena called for Oishi san. I really thought we were gonna see a full-blown torture scene. But wtf was with the ending?? Mion came back to meet Keiichi, stabbed him after losing control over her demon and before that she already killed Shion. But when the well was found, her corpse was also found there with her other victims. Now at the hospital, she's back again? Seriously wtf is going on? Am I supposed to not understand this yet? I really hope they tie up all of this by the end of this show. |
 ◑ ━━━━━ ▣ ━━━━━ ◐ "Everything I've witnessed... This whole system you have built has always rejected me. Now I'm ready to reject it. That's why I destroy. That's why I took this power for myself.

| Why in the hell would the mc go outside to meet Mion after she confessed to be the killer. Dude deserved to get stabbed. Either way this show is still good. |
| Again, I don't clearly remember everything until I replay this portion and after of the visual novel, but Poorly rushed adaption. One of the best most shocking moments, sped up to trash. Skipped Keiichi's torture as well if I remember right. What a shame. In the visual novel, Rena doesn't run out of Ooishi's vehicle. She tells him that they'll make Mion surrender first, and drives them there. They also casually talk and laugh with Mion before things get serious when Keiichi first apologizes. |

| omg stop i was getting weird vibes at the end and went to move my feet so theyre under the blanket and as i was doing that "mion" jumped up, scared me lol. thats so odd there are just demons in the corpses...i preferred the first arc tbh but this one was so good too |
| Keichi had no sense of danger during this arc, any sane person would freak out after that ladder incident. |
| this second arc left me annoyed with how unreasonable they were acting... n it felt kinda dragged??? |
 |
| This plays so much like a visual novel, but animated hahaha. I genuinely jumped a little when Mion came back at the very end. The first route with Rena was much more terrifying though. Mion's arc was not as intense or creepy at all. |
| One of the better episodes. Of course they rushed through the events of the visual novel, so a lot of mood and energy disappeared. Nonetheless, this was one of the better episodes. While at times I disliked the lengthiness of the visual novel, staying on one scene for what felt like eternity, the anime instead skips and jumps too much. Sigh, we can't have the best of worlds. At least not in this anime. |
