ひぐらしのなく頃に解 Ep. 09
Nothing too shocking really happened in this episode. I must admit that I’m still having difficulties in seeing how this is supposed to all tie in with the main plot of the story. However, since the show has had an excellent record in keeping me interested and surprised, I’m sure it’ll all work out in the end.
I’m kind of intrigued by the fact that Satoko actually has a condition that warrants her fright. I just kind of assumed that she had some other disease that had to be treated by taking those shots. It kind of makes sense now with Takano’s picture game from “厄醒し編” as it really actually served a purpose for the sake of analyzing how she interpreted images. The game wasn’t actually just a useless “exercise”, per se.
Although Keiichi’s first go with his classmates didn’t align with my prediction on laughs from the last episode, his subsequent plea for assistance from the baseball pitcher certainly did. It wasn’t as funny as the third episode but it was still pretty cool seeing Keiichi rally all these dessert lovers to his cause.
