I spit out my coffee as I laughed at that revelation. That does explain a few reactions from some earlier episodes I need as new keyboard after reading about Keiichi.

They have just concentrated on the thriller and horror elements, if I hadn't read info from the game, I think I'd have been totally lost as far as solving the mystery goes (not that I am not kind of lost even now). If there is no OVA, their portrayal of the mystery is basically the same as someone filming an Agatha Christie detective novel who leaves out half of the clues and ends it with Poirot saying "And now ladies ang gentlemen, I can tell you who the real murderer...but I won't because the budget for the film and its length won't allow me". :) I don’t know if Studio DEEN plans the anime to have any real closure at all.

Rift: I noticed that throughout the show, they totally skip stuff and give us anime viewers/non game players a different view/assumption on what is actually going on. kj: thank for pointing out the difference. that reall y DOES put a spin on things regarding Keiichi. And you're right, Oiishi is twisting stuff to both Rena & Keiichi regarding their pasts so I guess I could totally see why they'd be suspicious of each other. Yyi: LOL oh noez Haruhi! XD Yea I read a few animesuki threads a few eps ago and they were posting stuff regarding the final arc. I still don't know the exact ending but I remembered it involved some demonic looking girl thing in a miko outfit. Man I love when all you game players come here and tell me stuff the anime missed :D

One should never fool around with killer lolis... Why do I get this lingering feeling that suzumiya haruhi is going to pop up in the last episode, re-format the world again and comment that this is the actual season 2 of 'Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu', with aliens and all. *shudders* But considering how the last few episodes turned out, that wouldn't be unexpected. And this kinda shattered my assumption that nothing here is supernatural. Damn...they better round it up good next week. I liked the way they tied Keiichi’s pedophile-ness to Rena’s berserk nature.

Part that was cut off from the anime (Keiichi telling his guilt to Mion, Rika, and Satoko): Keiichi was found to be a child prodigy. Hence, he went to a special school in which he excelled at as well. However, kids hated him for being too smart and they started bullying him. Keiichi then threw his anger and stress towards people who were weaker than him - by shooting at little girls with his BB gun. Unfortunately one day, Keiichi shot a girl in the eye which almost caused her to go blind. Feelings of guilt finally went through him and he turned himself in along with his parents. Part that was shown in the anime (Rena pounding Keiichi with guilt): Japanese law has certain aspects of protecting minors from public incrimination, so Keiichi basically got away scot-free. His dad also happened to be fairly rich so his family was able to pay off the damages out-of-court. As Rena taunted to Keiichi: "Yeah, isn't it nice that you have a rich dad? You got away scot-free, and you moved away to start a new life. Ha!" Morale of story: From Rena's point of view, Keiichi looks like he was just a spoiled brat who went around shooting at people weaker than him for fun. From Keiichi's point of view, Keiichi direly repented what he had done. From one sided view, you only get a one-sided story skewing a person's perspective. Now getting back to Onikakushi-hen, Oishi told Keiichi that Rena used to go around breaking windows in her old school. That's just a one sided story. If Rena would told you the reason why she did that...then you get a totally different perspective on Rena.
