    [WinD] Higurashi​ no Naku​ Koro​ ni​ Rei​ -​ 02 [DVD]
    [ASR​_Kurou]​ Higurashi​ no​ Naku​ Koro​ ni​ Rei - 03 (h264 720x480)

    [two episodes of content below]


    For how much fun the first episode was, the series took a very dark turn very abruptly. While the second episode is confusing, the third reveals how twisted Higurashi Rei will be.

    I'm still holding out on us seeing Takano somehow and somewhere, but for everything else that has changed, she might be "Miyoko Tanashi" (her birth name) in this world. On the other hand, I suppose Rika is the villain in this world. I also doubt her conflict with Satoko is anywhere close to being over. It also isn't very clear whether the "reincarnation of Oyashiro-sama" that Rika's mother possesses in this world is the same thing that Rika's "Queen Carrier" is in her original world.

    The Rika of this world lived an incredibly depressing life, where everyone hates her due to her own haughty attitude. It's very unnerving as a viewer to see Mion, Satoshi and Reina talk so harshly to Rika, so one can only imagine how awkward, confused, and disturbed Rika must feel. Satoko being a bully rather than her best friend can only be that much worse.


    EDIT:

    Fun fact from episode 1. Type-Moon (creators of Tsukihime and Fate/Stay Night) gave 07th Expansion (the creators of Higurashi) explicit permission to make Chie-Sensei a parody of Ciel from Tsukihime throughout the Higurashi series, not just the few instances where she is more obvious.
