One more thing! Thanks to that adorable fool known as Kozu, I got the link to a Battle game based on Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni! Looks like fun! :D

I have the stupid demo... it doesn't like my GeForce card and forced my computer to crash into *gasp* a blue screen! :( (XP by the way..)

though the camera angle gets annoying sometimes, but the game's fun enough to let me overlook that.. plays fine on my brother's computer oddly..

Ok, episode 5 bombarded me with a crazy psychotic enticing and lip smacking gore and crazy b*tch laughing, but what the hell is all the episode with? CUTENESS!

SPOILER (click to view)

I was like bombarded with Mion/Shion's cuteness, damn, for some reason I never noticed her having large breasts before, and now in that costume, I just "iiyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa kawaii desu!" on her.
damn.

ok, onto the episode, apparently Mion does indeed have a twin sister, (who had larger breasts?) and a secret, she likes Keiichi, and is hiding it, while Shion is aware of her sister's love, she is not supposed to reveal it or something, not to mention the suspicious look on Mion/Shion's face as she attempted to hide one another.
(there is something wrong, I am not too sure if there is Shion and Mion , rather the last part seeing them together doesn't really convince me cause they both have something hidden)

I've watched the first 4 episodes, and I gotta say, it's bizarre. It's intriguing though wiith an interesting storyline and plot twists, and I'm probably going to keep watching it unless it gets creepier to the point where I'm too scared to watch it.

From episode 5 XD MIONISＳＯDAMNＣＵＴＥ！！！！！！！！！

I thought that was Shion. o_O;

damn...why do they have to be crazy in the end. they are pretty hot. but seeing that motorcycle part. i don't wanna piss off anyone in that town. above that the crazy ass intro. as far as i'm concerned this ep didn't get all that good. i was expecting something crazier in the end. i really can't wait for the next ep.

I am also going nuts with this series.
one of best anime for some time, at least plot wise.

I am so sad that I cannot read Japanese.
think I should start learn it in order to play some games.
Cannot wait next 11 weeks that covers Watanagashi-hen,Tatarigoroshi-hen, and Himatsubushi-hen. with Onikakushi-hen, those 4 chapters serve as Question / mystery parts.
This set up reminds me of Juon 2nd movie(aka Grudge in English). Juon 2nd used similar plot twist. They show something bizzar or weird or unanswerable acts, and director answers it later. It is very interesting, but also helps movie to be scary.

I think anime production is using 4 episode plot method for each chapter. 1st episode as introduction, 2nd episode as question/more details, 3rd episodes as crimax, and 4th episodes as conclusion.

I understand if production stop at 6th part because 7th should be able to explain all the evil twisted plots.
But, I don't want to stop watching it. :(

Anyway, If anyone of you watched episodes 5, you guys would say, either, "BEST Anime opening ever" or "What is wrong with this people?".

The scene of killing disappointed me. I can't see at all how the girls are wounded.

well, for this, I recommend if you wait for the DVD version, you might get the Hellraiser treatment.

I'm watching the anime. It's confusing now that they are all alive again. Did I miss something?

Episode 5 was awsome^_^

Well I was wondering why there were two people in the opening that looked like mion, damn they showed that crazy introduction thing again, when Mion's watching that girl (damn forgot her name)killing herself, just like the first ep when they showed Keiichi killing mion and rena. Anyway somethings up with Mion and Shion, anyway in the op song Mion's the one with the huge tatoo on her back, and Shion's the other one right? Wonder will happen in this watanagashi part... can't wait for the next ep^_^

Question is, is that really Mion in the beginning watching Rika stab herself in the head? Or is it really Shion posing as Mion? We've already seen Mion posing as Shion so...it could be possible for her to do it as well.

Its freaking awesome! I cant wait for episode 6 >_<

This has become one of my most anticipated shows of the spring season. I have watched till episode 5, and I can't wait to see the next one. I just love the mix between the kawaii and creepy atmospheres.

4chan caused me to check this out, with all the ramblings on how creepy it is. I was kind of shocked at the amount of comedy the first episode had, only to be slapped in the face with later ones. I love it.

I read that there are three or four stories (I can't remember) that are like a cause and effect or question and answer, and that each are four episodes long. Once one is finished, we get a time reversal and show the next cause and effect. Is this true? Seems kind of odd to me.
