Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni 8
As I had expected, this is the ending of the second arc. And Woa, what an ending! But still, I wasn’t so moved as I hoped too. Rena could be so much better, and Mion…Mion was great.
Rena comes to Keiichi and scolds him, for what he has done. They run into Oishi, who’s here some kind of bad guy. He was planning to lure Keiichi to the house of Mion, so they have an excuse for busting into the house. In other words: Keiichi is the bait. And with Mion: that could be dangerous. Rena sees this plan and yells at Oishi and they go on their own to the house of Mion, which is a classical Japanese-lookalike house. Mion answers the door, and Keiichi deeply apologize. And then comes the awesomness after Rena brings up the subject of the death of Rika and Sakato.
Mion confesses. There is a demon inside her, there is a demon inside her body, there is a demon inside her name. She killed everybody. It suprised me for seeing her this way, but it was done with a beautiful job. Keiichi and Rena are completly calme, what is suprising to find out that their friend is a murderer. But they still believe that whoever Mion is, she is one of the best friends they have ever had. Mion askes if she can be alone with Keiichi for an half hour. Rena agrees. We have a little love scene, which was good to watch at. I wasn’t bothered by it at all. Mion wants Keiichi to see all the sins she has comitted. Keiichi goes. Shion appeared to be still alive, so he had to go with her.
The next scenes, I will remain in silence for it. I loved the way Shion looked, I loved Mion and how the demon came part of her again. And I was very scared in the last scene before everybody busted in. More I won’t say, people have to watch this by themselve.
Keiichi can go home again, and in the late night, Mion returnes, and the demon takes full part of her. She stabbed a knife in his stomach, and then runs off. Shion appeared to jump of a building, or she was pushed off it. But: Mion was already dead the time they caught her. The death comes to them. The ending was something suprising to me, and I still don’t really get it. But boy, how scary was that. Oh golly.^^
