if already said, ohwell.
BUT this was basically a conclusion to the last arc of the first season. It was also used to fill in all the gaps DEEN left out, and explained some TIPS from the game. The rel new arc starts tomorrow.

*yawn* I watched this episode earlier this evening and it was so excruciatingly dull…surely it can only get better from here.

kojioe> You won’t be disappointed on the next one, it will be the first chapter of Yakusamashi-hen.

chrno> It’s Oni-gokko (Demon Tag or Playing Demons).

Hinano> Even though Yui Horie is the new seiyuu in this anime, but when Hanyuu speaks, she sounds like Suzu from Nagasarete Airantou, but more childish, which Horie voices both Suzu and Hanyuu.

This episode really left me disappointed. Hopefully next week’s will be greater.

I wonder why did they didn’t put this past episode as the very last episode from season one? I would consider this one as an OVA, but nobody is perfect.

By the way, I only like the first 39 seconds of the song in the opening credits. Don’t ask me why. I just like it.

Also, I believe the next episode previews are on the official site. It’s dark Rika and Hanyuu talking with scenes of the anime behind.

Argh! Before anyone gets any more confused…

Think of “Reunion” as episode 27 of the first series. It’s more or less the last episode of Tsumihoroboshi-hen. The only difference from the games to here was that Rena lived. Rena only lived here because they needed to put in the Rena/Rika scene in the trailer.

This was a TIPS that was unlocked after you played through Tsumihoroboshi-hen. So you get the feeling of “YAY! Happy end! …wait…what’s this? An extra TIPS? Demon’s Script? wtf…..NO! NONONONONO!!! DAMMIT!”

Next week is Yakusamashi-hen chapter 1: Onigikko (or something like that. Zombie Tag is the translation I believe). My guess is that it’s going to have the other TIPS from Tsumihoroboshi-hen reguarding Rika. It might also get into the Rule X, Y, and Z explanation from the prolouge of Minagoroshi, since that might not make it into the right chapter, due to the fact that the anime doesn’t really like monolouges.

Also, animation has improved so much. Sakuga quality gets a thumbs up from me. The character look much more proportionate now.

I was really hoping they’ll jump straight into the 3rd answer arc for the 2nd season. But concluding the 2nd answer arc did answer a lot of questions. Here’s hoping for some action next week.

At least now the budget is going into animating Higurashi rather than on Jigoku Shoujo now. The graphics look much better.

Btw, does anyone find Hanyuu’s face a little plump? I prefer the character design for her in the PS2 game.
