Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai: Episode 17
Rating: 8.2/10
Impressions:
Again, I’m seriously starting to side with Takano now. I’m not denying her insanity and evilness near the end of all the worlds, but I can’t help but wish she would succeed without conflicting with Rika and the others. Another reason is the lack of focus on the protagonists’ point of view, which is making Takano seem like the hero (or in this case, heroine). However, this shift in point of view works wonders for this final arc, as it won’t seem like a copy of another arc with a different ending. Explaining things from the very start (from Takano’s childhood) rightly deserves half the series, as I haven’t been this interested in the series since I first watched the first season.

Ugh a little standered BooHoo background and you start sideing with that insane bitch? I can understand her reasons for being a b*tch trying to play god, but that doesn’t mean I’ll accept her actions at all. Just because one had a sad past doesn’t justify genocide. Their are other ways to go about overcomeing a sad childhood that don’t involve mass murder. If she went about her business doing something else I wouldn’t have a problem, but her massive conviction to slauaghter thousands just so she can have an “AHAHHAHA I R GOD LOL” moment is just… disgusting. She kills Rika’s parents then has a good laugh at how awesome she thinks she is. If you were in Hinamizawa, she’d laugh as you get gassed to death along with the other 1000 innocent people just trying to live their lives.
well, this IS an anime…i dont think it matters much what the characters would do in real life ^^;;
oh i just realised, did you actually think i wanted her to win? i said i was siding with her, but only in this particular episode. Its not like i want her to win, i just want her to not have a tragic past AND a tragic ending.
