| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Another new arc starts. Minagoroshi was definitely my favorite arc in the games, and I'm very excited as to how it's going to play out in the anime. We finally get to see Hanyuu on screen, and the effects Rika's habits seem to have on her. We get to see the reason for Satoko's shots and more of Irie's maid fetish. And finally a game very similar to the one in Watanagashi-hen is played, though through Keiichi's help their fate seems to have been changed and the crisis met in Watanagashi and Meakashi averted. |

| Great episode. |
 |
| Absolutely loved this episode, so glad Keiichi was the one to help Rika out. Loved Mii's reaction to the doll :) Hanyuu is lol :D |
| the bit where Rika ate some spicy food and Hanyuu was rolling around was so funny |
     |
| hanyuu was indeed very kawaii this episode turned form good to great with that end of it mion was being all cute too when keichii gave her that doll cant wait for the changes |
 |
| Quite an interesting episode. It was great to learn more about the situation at hand and be able to see Hanyuu. I am very curious to see how this plays out now that the situation is quite different. Cant wait for the next episode. |
 |
| Aww, Hanyuu's so adorable. >3< And like Faust, I really want to see how the situation will differ now that Mion got the doll. |
| Mion with doll = Omega Cute And geez, to go through all this so many times... I want all this to end, for Rika sake. |
| I love the theme of resisting fate. |
 |
| Yup. They always start so nice and cuddly and end up with a bloodbath.  |
| Quotes are f'ing up. Personally gorczak, I would love to see the last chapter where they win against fate and well, not be bloody or at least not to the main characters. They may be fictional but I still can't wish a eternal fate of bloody massacre to them. |
| Interactive Nail Removal Show, haha. xD Was a great episode indeed, Hanyuu just has to be kawaii when Yui is voicing her. But Rena was almost as cute as her. This will indeed be very interesting, I guess now Rena is the one who won't be able to forgive? Off to ep 7~ |

| well, that killed all possible realistic interpretations of all events in the anime history. but i liked it. coz rika is my fave char. and coz hanyuu's cute. |
逃げちゃ駄目だ。 |
| I finally got around to watching this episode. An equal balance of cuteness and blood. Hanyuu was just too cute. I hope Rika can escape this fate of endless June. |
| Really can't wait to see how this plays out with Mion receiving the doll. |
   #NBHNC |
| i knew it! it was Hanyuu who Rika-chan was talking to back there. XD this world just got off to a good start. wonder what will happen next. XD |
| Now, I want to ask something. Is June really a cursed month?! Hahaha! Me and my only older brother are both born on the month of June. hahaha! Hauuu~! |
     |
| Today is 10 of June of ... 2008 ... ... Can the Gasoline price be the curse this time? =p |
| Hmmm... so that's all this episode was about... but it explained a lot of the things that still confused me >.< But I'm still wondering about the going back in time thing..... doesn't Rika have to repeat the same world?? But they said something about their powers controlling how far back in the past they go... so if they didn't control it the series just be repeated Rika murders one after the other.... weird o__o |
     Sig WILL change soon~ |
| Wow, this was very interesting, I wonder how things will end up this time! I don't think, Rena would go nuts, since she didnt recieve the doll ? But her little, line sounded off to me once he handed it to Mio. Awh, I hope it'll be a damn happy ending ! >: ( but i mean, so far I'm understanding everything completely, SO FARRRR. I have a feeling they're going to throw something in to twist it all up, : ) who knows, ! Da,m JUNE. nextt please. |
 |
| Nice, I am finally beginning to understand what is happening in Hinamizawa, I need to see the rest of the episodes quickly! |
     |
| Hanyuu's first appearance! =D Until now I've always though of Higurashi as similar to X/1999 ("fate can't be changed" theme ,etc) but this arc started off very well. |
| haha the shows almost like that old scifi show Quantum Leap now with Hanyuu in it lmao XD I smiled big time when Keichi gave Mion the doll =D |

| HANYUUUUUUUUUUU! OMG so cute! I wanna take her home! Also, third wall broken! And fate's a changin'! |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| Hmmm.. A bit more insight into what's going on. But after all this time of June repeating Rika never thought to affect these things? Especially the small things. Everyone knows that the smallest event can change the lives of many very drastically. |
| Good episode; it set down some important principles for the way this whole time loop works, and it was nice to finally see who Rika's been talking to. Also, the preview KILLED ME. Ooh, Hinamizawa tourism ... XD |

cyruz said: Was a great episode indeed, Hanyuu just has to be kawaii when Yui is voicing her. But Rena was almost as cute as her. This will indeed be very interesting, I guess now Rena is the one who won't be able to forgive? Off to ep 7~ Yui was the best choice possible to voice Hanyuu with! Ayu's Auus and Hanyuu's Hauus are practically the same! After 30 episodes, getting this much info in 1 episode sure feels weird! So that explains Rika's "serious" personality. She practically has over 100+ years accumulated worth of knowledege. What's really surprising though, is that she has being able to keep sanity after dieing multiple times, being revived and experince grief all over again. There's still lots of stuff unanswered though. So now I guess more "miracles" will happen, and new events that Rika's not experinced before will happen more often. cyruz said: Interactive Nail Removal Show, haha. xD Actually, Rika's ~Nipas would attract tourists from all over the world to their little, full of muder and mystery, sleepy town! hahaha this ep's preview was hilarious ^^ nipa nipa nipa -nano desu! |

| Interesting Ep. Now I finally understand why can Rika "predict" everything forehand. And also to whom she was talking to at nights. Fate and Destiny can be changed. This arc is gonna be different. |
| Loved this episode! Lots of things were cleared up and the surprise factor got me when Keichii gave the doll to Mion instead. :D |
 |
| OMG! Lightbulbs are popping on inside my head. @.@ I finally get it! ^_^ Yeah, this series is so much like a mix of X/1999 and Quantum Leap. I can't wait to see how the rest of it plays out now that I've finally got some things cleared up. |
 |
| way to go keiichi! he pointed out the obvious, that the only way to break fate is to fight it! rika should have realized that earlier |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| Hanyuu is so awesome :O I wonder who is going to go crazy now that Keiichi gave the doll to Mion instead of Rena, hmmm maybe Keiichi will remember stuff from the previous arcs again or something as well. On to the next episode~ |
| Ah, Hanyuu finally makes an appearance. I think it's really fun to watch scenes that you think you know what's going to happen, and then they throw a curveball at you. Really good for me because I'm marathoning this after the first season, so it's fresh in my memory. The recap part in the beginning was nice too, because it was basically a 2 min overview of the first season, except now we know more of what happened. |
| I'll bet Rika wasn't expecting that awesome strawberry game. Well, we were able to learn pretty much all of Rika's situation, now it kinda sucks to see her depressed all the time, so good work Kei in changing fate. |
| An interesting Arc, maybe fate their can be changed. Somehow I dont see that happening this early as something will probably go wrong, but who knows maybe it wont this time around |
    |
| Hanyuu is cool ; ) its a pity that only Rika can see her |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Wow that episode passed by so quickly. Maybe Keiichi will be the one to break the chain? lol ~the chain of fate~ |
     |
| Hanyuu! Love at first sight =D She is cuteness personified. Laughed at Irie and his collection of small maids dresses, I wonder how that guy gets to keep his licence xD So she finally realised it is possible to change fate, of course something is inevitable if you don't even try to fight it. But seeing this arc is named 'Massacre' I really doubt we're in for a happy ending, though a small bloodbath is entertaining in it's own way :P |
| Best Episode!! |
| That was a really good episode, and of course now everything is making sense~ Even though I saw this coming! I'm glad that Mion got the Doll :'D |

| awww Hanyuu finally makes an appearance! |
| so what, Rika&Hanyuu live in that world for about 100 years. Keichii changes the fate, interesting. i simply liked the beginning... it must be painful for Rika having such past experience . and i wonder what;s Satoko's sickness |
