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?
So we're literally just going to do this where Rika wakes up and then gets killed immediately?
Also this fucking shambling stance of hers, what the fuck.
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.
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?
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?
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).
They both fall out of a window, yet Rika is the one who dies first? M'kay then.
RIKA STILL OFFERED YOU HER HELP, THOUGH.
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.
Higurashi thinks it's a shounen, now.
Ewwww, is not-Featherine jilling to this while Hanyuu watches?
Hanyuu's going Super Saiyan
on those cuffs.
That fucking face.
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.
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.
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.
