Was a good episode, basically some background information and the reasons why Hanyuu is most probably going to show up as a real character. Takano's as crazy as always.

I really shouldn't have watched this at 1am...I didn't expect it. And then a mouse was sneaking around my foot in the scene after the credits...spooked me a little. Dark Rika corner is Epik, as usual.

I almost don't want to know all the background information that they gave in this episode! Much better as a mystery to me, at least as of now anyway.
And yes, I must concede Takano's hotness in the nurse outfit. Yikes. That doesn't change the fact that she's CRAZZY NUTS!

Oh, an remind me to watch the Dark Rika Corners. Hilarius.

It's so confusing in this episode. It looks like the first one to die is the parents of Satoko, then here goes the dismembering of the body of the manager of the dam construction. I thought the first event that happened would be the murder of the manager then the death of Satoko's parent, then Rika's parents, then Satoko's Aunt?

Arghh.. It looks more confusing. Did they miss something? I'm really sure that the murder of the manager happened first rather than the death of the parents of Satoko. I think the producers got confused and mistaken. Hahah! LOL!


MORE HANYUU!~~

I'm so disappointing with this one... .....

The manager got killed and chopped in 1979 !!!!!!!!!! and Satoko's parents die in 1980 DAMMIT .. so WHY THE FUCK is the manager alive AFTER Satoko's parents are DEAD?!!!!!!

Story BUG z.z

...

I must say .. takano is a b1tch, I disliked satoshi, but now I dislike him even more, selfish bastard >.<

I miss Rena-chan ... "omoshi kaeriiii" .. Hanyuu <3

The episode's timeline is a bit qacky I believe. The manager did die first and then Satoko's parents. I'm pretty sure they just jumping around in time.

I'm so excited that they're finaly revealing what happened in the past. I can't wait to see what happened to Satoshi. He doesn't seem like the type to just run away and abandon his sister.

Not bad seeing the backstory again.
But I am finally ready to see the main story characters again.

Nothing like this to actually make you APPRECIATE it when you see the same old reliving of those years in Hinamizawa 1980s or whenever it was.

And as for the timeline, I'm sure it was just jumping around.
In fact, I didn't notice any chronology in the episode to begin with, and coming into this thread to see "they got the chronology wrong" made me go "huh. o.O, I didn't notice any chronology at all, was I not paying attention well enough?x_x".

Gosh I'm not seeing any chronology bugs in this show at all so far, and I'm paying painfully close attention, pausing it and rewinding all the time just to be soaking it up and not miss anything. How many minutes does it take you people to watch a 24 minute episode? Maybe it's you guys that a missing something and not me, I'm pretty sure.

Old avatar and sig retired for now.

Finally we get to see the start of the Curse of Oyashiro-sama (not to mention the "missing" arm). I have to wonder, though, if Takano was responsible for the foreman going crazy (as in, if it was the result of her call to Okonogi). Other than that, the timeline confused me too; either they were mixing it up or just jumping all over the place.

Also, YAY SATOSHI! I'm looking forward to seeing him more in the series.

By the way, Satoshi's not cool like Keiich after all. What does Shion sees on him? Well can't blame him either for seeing Satoko as a burden...

well that explains where the arm went, and why ooishi is so involved in the case. takano freaks me out now, no qualms over vivisection, you've got to be freaked out by a person like that

Interesting to see that Satoko heard Hanyuu while in the hospital. Takano sure does look good in that nurse outfit though....

The Dark Rika Corner preview of the next episode was hilarious as well.

Wow, Satoshi. What a terrible thing to say. It'd be neat if he were actually nuts as well.
I feel bad for Irie. He has virtually no power in all of this. A very weak man...
Every time I think I can feel bad for Takano, she does something even more crazy. She's truly insane.

Nice to finally know exactly how everything started.
By the looks of thing the dam managers murder had nothing to do with the villagers, just his co-workers who went a lil'crazy =P

Though I really despise Miyo now, that woman have no honour sense of morale >:(
Hope she gets what she deserves.

More and more of my beloved Miyo. She has always been my favourite character. Now she's the bad guy, BUT still the coolest char of the series^^
Oh and could anyone please tell after which eps is something after the ending song. I don't like it, so I didn't bother to listen to it everytime. All the other songs are great :D

Another backstory episode, quite interesting indeed.
I only wonder if we will see all the other murders that occured before june 1983 too, or if we'll catch up soon.
I probably regret this post by now.

For a bunch of adults they all act like little kids.

Takano shows that she is bat shit crazy again.

Poor Hanyuu, just being able to watch people and not do anything.

Rika's talking about Keiichi, right? Yay.. Hanyuu's going to fight now.

So we finally know the truth about the original dam murder where the site manager was dismembered, but it wasn't anything to do with the Sonozaki family after all. I still wonder why the manager was affected by Hinamizawa syndrome though (it was obvious why the murderer was) maybe the stress of being targeted by the anti-dam people brought it on.

I'm liking this episode, the dam story was more or less fully explained. All the info about Satoko's father, the death of the dam manager, etc.

T.T Satoshi is a coward, and Takano sure is insane

I felt sorry for Hanyuu after watching all those moments that she just had to sit there and watch that...

...And I was sad that Rika didn't answer the question about her and Hanyuu being connected.

I am also loving these after the ED clips. X3!
