Next episode is probably a saint-lucia recap.
 
It's time for me to add some more positivity to the thread via character songs:
 
So I just learned that Ryukishi wrote Lucia's route in Rewrite. I've seen the anime, but I honestly remember nothing about it outside of people who've played the game talking shit about the anime, so I don't even remember who Lucia is. Did anyone here play Rewrite? I'm curious as to what the quality was for the VN and its routes, if other routes were written by separate people, or if Ryukishi was just the special guest-writer.
 
This episode was in a way, so fucking fun yet so fucking retarded.

Who the hell thought that any of this was okay, in a mainline Higurashi anime, not in a spinoff or comedy OVA but an actual mainline.
How did we go from semi-plausible conspiracy's, mystery, murder with police investigations and paranoia to.... budget DBZ.

Literally magical girl costume changing bullshit, and of course they can fly, it's just so retarded that It loops back around to being fun.

Still when you think about how fans spent around a year from the GOU gun scene just to see what would happen next, this is NOT the outcome that I think anyone imagined.
 
I can't stop thinking about this episode. The more I think the more realize Ryukishi doesn't even remember or understand the story he wrote.
One of the major points of the fucking novels is to TALK THINGS OUT and fucking trust your friends.
How can you get it so fucking wrong? How?

I haven't seen it yet, but based off the shit I've seen I'm just glad it isnt another fucking recap episode.
 
So Satoko really did kill a bunch of people numerous times, betray her best friend time and time again and sell her soul to the boogeyman just because she didn't want to study?

I swear BT really wrote Higurashi while Ryukishi just wanted to jerk it to lolis
 
So is this the episode where Satoko FINALLY fires the gun?

Somehow I am still left extremely let down and disappointed. The orbital camera was such a bad move in all complete honesty even though its purpose was to capture the entire scene in one-go.

Hey, I've seen this face and pose before.

God, why is Satoko's bathing suit strap just hanging off her shoulder?

1632418246058.png

So we're literally just going to do this where Rika wakes up and then gets killed immediately?

1632418272827.png

Also this fucking shambling stance of hers, what the fuck.

1632418294244.png

She says this as she's stabbing her best friend in the throat with a fork.

Something about this sequence really speaks for the series as a whole.

Also Mika, are you okay? Did you smoke a pack before recording this episode? I'm not the only one who noticed this, right?

Yup, we're really gonna do this.

But she's not the villain here, guys.

And what follows is a montage of “greatest hits”.

Wait, they end up here somehow, and she still ends up beating the crap out of her at the fucking bookstore?

Something something lesbian domestic abuse stats.

This guy gets it.

1632418614185.png

See, finally this gets addressed because we've been saying this for half a goddamn year.

But wait a minute, it took Rika this long to put the pieces together to figure out why she died at St. Lucia? Like did she regain her entire memories of that moment when Satoko killed the both of them under the chandelier?

1632418631948.png

Were they literally punching each other into a new world? The hell are these match cuts? They're not cool here. This is the director half-assing again, isn't he?

1632418646942.png

1632418653813.png

Bitch, when you had studied to get into the school, you had actually put in the effort and got good-enough grades to get in. You can say Rika was the one who pulled you through. But it was your fault you pushed away Rika once you got to the academy even though she continuously offered you her hand and her help had you taken it.

Studying's not fun, but you can make the process of learning fun/more bearable depending on how you approach it. Rika could've helped you with that.

But she's not the villain here, guise.

I don't know a good Higurashi soyjak meme to insert here, but you know what to do (if /a/ hasn't done it yet).

1632418691276.png

They both fall out of a window, yet Rika is the one who dies first? M'kay then.

1632418724605.png

1632418731976.png

1632418741749.png

RIKA STILL OFFERED YOU HER HELP, THOUGH.

1632418764052.png

1632418769456.png

1632418775270.png

Literal soyjak moment. And it actually is because the OST playing is the actual version of the Main Theme that plays during the climax in Atonement.

How disgusting.

Also Rika's quote thinks its bad-ass, but it's not. It's a true-and-honest quote, but it's not bad-ass.
1632418790887.png

Higurashi thinks it's a shounen, now.

1632418819380.png

Ewwww, is not-Featherine jilling to this while Hanyuu watches?

1632418837891.png

Hanyuu's going Super Saiyan on those cuffs.

1632418889781.png

That fucking face.

1632418914081.png

This is the greatest of greatest hits.

Wait, I spoke too soon because Satoko swings the sword at Rika who achieved her magical girl status and sends her flying across the landfill (how'd they run out there so fast, anyway? Rika should've caught up to Satoko beforehand). I can't get a clip of it, so @Idiot Asshole, this is my request. Because seriously, the entire battle is retarded. It thinks it can get away with it because it's flashy, but it's not a clever battle in the slightest. The choreography is a mess, you can't really see much due to how fast everything goes, also the color-schemes are so bad the characters are blending in to their surroundings and magical voodoo auras.

Not even the witch battles in the Umineko anime were this hard to watch and take seriously.

1632418945002.png

Plot convenience.

Also they're just tossing the sword into the other fragments because why? How? I just don't know what to say here.

1632418972452.png

It's really not because we spent thirteen weeks being dicked around getting “answers” that were already answered back in Gou because the Internet sleuths are so much smarter than the lead detective himself. This battle is undeserved because by this point, the characters have been gutted into something they're not, and nobody here cares how it's going to end because we all know it's going to end one way or the other: Both Rika and Satoko die and get resurrected as Bernkastel and Lambdadelta, or Satoko doesn't die and is forgiven and redeemed by Rika despite the horrible shit she did.

We have one more week of this shit, but a lot of us have that feeling we're not going to be done with this. They're going to pull a third useless season on us, or we are going to get that new Umineko anime adaptation except no one will be looking forward to it since Passione, Kawaguchi, and Ryukishi all were extremely incompetent with these 39 episodes.

There's still that chance Tomato will save it in the manga since he's handled it better, but it's still the same script at the end of the day. And also at the end of the day, there's that absolute truth there'll be fans who'll deem this completely non-canon and refuse to further acknowledge it in the future.

It's just all so tiresome.
 
>Hanyuu goes fuckin super saiyan
>satoko fucking admits the reason she's looping is purely because she hates studying

FUCKING
KEK

@Kari Kamiya
My favorite fucking part of the fork murder is how Keiichi, Mion, and Rena are still just playing in the water completely unaware of blood spraying everywhere and screaming Smokerko.

My thoughts exactly. It goes to show those characters got shoved to the background when they're still real important characters in their own right. It's just not Higurashi without Keiichi's unflinching resolve, Rena's staunch strength and faith in Oyashiro, and Mion's awesome leadership.

Yet there the three are just splashing around in the river not caring that Rika and Satoko are having their fight.

It's hilariously sickening just how far their characters have fallen.
