| Rika Omochikaerī!! お持ち帰り〜 Shes so moeee! I don't want to look like a lolicon though. Oh well :D |
| So this arc is showing us the time period of the dam protest. Hopefully it'll fill in a few holes in the story. |
 |
| yea im hoping that there will be a decent ending to all this. its reallly good but still has me saying WTF after every ep. but yea i vote for more creepy Rena, she gives me chills. |
 |
| The highlight for me was Creepy!Rika-chan. |
 ~Heart & Thoughts With Japan~ |
| Rika-chan was just ridiculously adorable in this episode...need more :-D Yeah, it's a lot duller compared to the other arcs...hope this isn't another 4 or 5-ep arc :-/ |

| Poor Akasaka. He has no flippin' clue what he's got himself into. Dx And he seems so nice... I sure hope he makes it out alright, and follows creepy possessed-Rika's advice (btw, first time hearing Rika possessed, and as a child no less.... that was the scariest! She's always so incredibly sweet) and goes back to Tokyo to his wife and unborn child. Dx [biting nails for that sucker Akasaka] Oishi looks the same as usual. Good to see his nice[r] and funny side again after those past few episodes. =D The mob-like qualities of the three families is rather irritating... How they just run things the way they desire and probably in accordance in obeying some ever-vengeful god like Oyashiro... It's just horrible. And I hate how everyone just goes with their shady deeds. Eyuck. It's especially creepy the way that they get such important hush-hush intel so quickly (the kidnapping of Toshiki, the PSIA agent being dispatched, etc.), being such a small rural town and all. o__o ....Ni-pahh~ <3 |
| So, I'm guessing akasaka is the guy who was hacked to pieces during the hinamizawa protest (remember in the first episode Tomitake told Keichi that someone had been cut into pieces during the protest (when Him and Rena were "treasure hunting" ))? Also guessing this is one of the answer arcs. |
| I'd love to adopt Rika. |
| Apparently a new protagonist for this arc... Damn, Rika-chan is so cute lol |
| GO BACK TO TOKYO. Please. These people at this town are crazy. Get away and go to your pregnant wife. She needs you too, man. You seem like such a nice guy, and I want to save you. So follow Rika-chan's (albeit creepy) advice :) Rika-chan is so cute, but she's messed up too. I guess she's the demon this time. |
| In this arc it seems that events happened before Keiichi move to Hinamizawa i think before 5 years ... it seems that a devil dwells Rika ... Mion grandmother quite simillar to her "I like her XD" ... i'm waiting to understand what is happening in this anime :p |
DarkShines said: We're probably getting the logical explanation in the end,so we gotta keep watching! :> Rika-chan's turn to be possessed by the demon? oO She reminds me of both Suiseiseki from Rozen Maiden and Honey-senpai from Ouran. And probably of Pino from Ergo Proxy. Nipah moe desu~ That Mamoru Asasasdafgawhatever guy'd better return to Tokyo if he knows what's good for him... Honey Sempai!! :D |
 |
| who else thinks that akasaka looks like keiichi? and is it a coincidence that Kimiyoshi, Kiichirou the villige chief has a similar name as keiichi? also pronounce the same except without the "rou" |
  |
| My conclusion: the Hinamizawa people all have psychic powers. Also, they are barking mad ._. |
“I’m tired of all the nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep. That’s deep enough. What do you want – an adorable pancreas?”      |
| Nippaa~ So cute. Akasaka looks very similar to Keichi too... |

 |
| I love trying to piece together themes and clues from the different arcs, but if I was impatient and easily frustrated, I wouldn't be able to watch this. It seems some people need the plot handed to them on a plate to be able to enjoy something. |

| I think the curse has to do with the royal families..Look at Rica telling him it's been decided :P |
-------Only God will judge me -------- iSignature |
| oh gawd, I hope that Akasaka would not be the one that: |
 |
| Yeah! Now we see how it all begins. |
| Rika-chan is so cute, not as much as Rena ofc but quite much. But seriously, finally the story is getting interesting. |
 |
| Who's this random guy!? what happened to keichi? i thought the episode was a bit boring but..rika!!! she's so cute! |

| Hn... I don't think it is Akasaka that gets chopped up. When they were talking about that person before there was no mention of them being a policeman... Weren't they a construction worker, or similar? I'll be sad if he gets killed... he's nice. |
90s J-rock was our aesthetic peak. |
| A new face is always refreshing, specially since I was fed up with Keichi. So this is like the "Origin" arc, isn´t it? Let´s hope it´s as good as the first two. |
 |
| Hmm, a normal beginning scene for a new arc. I guess Akasaka is the main character in this arc. And as the main character, he will most likely die. I'm still wondering how information can be passed around so fast. |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |
HigurashiRen said: Oryou is one scary grandma Yea o_o And that Akasaka should have informed his superiors first, there's no way he can handle this all by himself. |
| Rika-chan getting possed by a demon/oyashiro curse.. New character who looks bland and is a mature version of Keiichi. How did they know that there was coming a police officer from Tokyo btw? I thought the man said (while talking to the guide on the phone) that he was a tourist? It does not make sense. It's like they are pulling facts out of their asses (that old hag at least). Or perhaps someone within the local police told the old hag about the police from Tokyo.. |
| So this is what was happening during the dam project. Poor Akasaka, his death flag was triggered the moment he decided to work with Ooishi. And I'm guessing there were no time loops back then so he's pretty much screwed. Hope I'm wrong though... |
| That..was....boring. |
| ~Izzy Zazztacular~ |
| No Keiichi, but a cop from Tokyo...he's going to die badly. Gah Rika's cuteness got turned up to 11 but so did her creepy factor. |
 |
| Rika was so cute :3 But in that show, I tend to don't trust what is cute... I wonder what will be that inspector role in the story. It look like he'll get really close to Rika. Also, is it me or this arc is happening in the past? Mion seemed much younger, Keiichi and Rena doesn't seem to be there yet. |

| Good episode, finally, one without Keiichi. It is cool to see what's taking place during the protest years ago prior to the time of the previous arcs. Rika was cute with those "nippah~", it's famous enough that I even saw them on YT. Oryou was just.. mysterious, and kind of scary. So it's confirmed that there is a "oyashiro-sama"? Otherwise who could have possessed Rika? Death flag's all over Akasaka. |

| Yeah, Akasaka is going to die. Shouldn't have left his child-bearing wife and go into murderer hometown, because that's what gets you killed in stories like this. Although, they really never said something about a cop dying in the previous arcs. I guess they have a spy in the police, so they knew about the freshman coming from Tokyo. |
| So now we're in the past. Good, something refreshing is really approved right now, maybe we'll understand something more consistent this time. Oiishi may be the mole, but he can also be just annoying as hell. This show taught us not to judge someone by the looks. The only ones who talked to Akasaka were the head of the anti-gang department, Sankai, that sub-ordinate and Oiishi. I bet on Sankai. We saw again those people on a white Van we saw in the first arc. |
belial said: Skepsis said: how am i supposed to figure it out? the characters kept getting killed ROFLLLL .. I laughed so much at that one xDDD .. but yeahh .. true.. The more I watch the more confusing I get.. I mean.. all the things I thought I knew got contradicted on this past arcs... I wonder where is this leading to. [I hope there's a logical explanation to most of what's happening .. or it'll be pretty pointless =x] If there isn't a logical explanation I'd cry because I've wasted my time on this... |
ikazuuyr said: HigurashiRen said: Oryou is one scary grandma Yea o_o And that Akasaka should have informed his superiors first, there's no way he can handle this all by himself. That's right. |
| Akasaka is reminding me a bit of Ray Penbar from Death Note. The whole agent with a new female (fiancee versus wife giving birth for the first time) going into a dangerous reconnoitering mission vibe. He has a little bit of Okazaki Tomoya in his looks. He has some Keiichi in him as well, and i fear that his fate will be no different. |
| This episode got pretty dull due to the amount of information being thrown at me so quickly that I got completely confused. So it seems like this arc is taking place at least 5 or 6 years ago since the protesting against the dam still in effect and the fact that Mion and Rika look 10 times more adorable. I find it strange how this arc is told from a different character's point of view. I wonder why... So it seems that this arc is only 2 episodes, it's not like I've been liking this arc much anyways... 3/5 meh |
| I don't know how I didn't realise that that kid at the beginning was the minister's son that got kidnapped *facepalm*. Also forgot his name so when they mentioned it at the end I got confused. |
