We could have used Rika and one of the Sonozaki's.

Spoilers?
Spoiler
Rika is the real main character, as the series revolves around her.

It wasn't Jure who picked up the characters. It were Fuyuzuki and Bballer.

Rena is the most popular Higurashi character in Japan, I think <_<

I just dont like Keiichi cause he doesnt have eyes the size of a frisbee.



Doing it wrong!

Might be spoilers, but I'm not sure, I'll use spoiler tags just in case, but even after watching the whole series there's something I don't get
Spoiler
In the first arc, I still don't get exactly what's going on. Are Mion and Rena actually as crazy as it shows them or is Keichi imagining it because of "Oyashiro-sama's curse." In the ends Keichi claws out his throat, but is that because of the thing Mion and Rena injected him with or was he already affected?

the first time through it mind-fucked me cuz I had no clue what was going on. Now it's mind fucking me cuz I can't piece it all together

Spoiler
I just finished that arc. Irie seemed to think Keichi was acting a lot like Satoshi before he tried to scratch his throat out. Although it was as if Keichi never actually did kill Satoko's uncle, since everyone but him had recollections of being with him at the festival, and no one mentioned anything about him showing up even though he told Mion he wouldn't be there. The only thing I can think of that makes the slightest bit of sense is that he's remembering another set of events, and it's interfering with his memory of the actual events. Like I think it's in the one where Rena holds the students of the school hostage, Keichi remembers what he did to Rena and Mion in the first arc. The thing that evades this explanation is that the bat and the Uncle's Moped were both gone.

Keiichi does think that Rena and Mion are crazy. Maybe they were also doing their part by playing the bad guys. They have a penetration ritual after every club activity after all. And the way they can act like Zombies justifies their role-play. If they actually were crazy in the first arc is not known but why should they change their personalities from 'life to new life' (the stuff what Rika does)? Keiichi was going insane because he put himself under immense stress. That's what activates "Oyashiro-sama's curse". People go crazy and believe that everyone wants to kill them for some reason. This one worker at the dam site also suffered the curse and thus wanted to kill his comrades (he's the not found corpse by the way).

To put all that stuff in a nutshell, Keiichi was crazy, Rena and Mion probably not, he suffered the curse (=infection), he killed Rena and Mion because of it, and finally himself.

Edit: Keiichi remembered a former life when he killed Satoko's uncle. The night of his death was the night of the festival wasn't it? Hence why Rika was killed like usually and time was reset.

I was watching every moment of the first arc looking for ways Keichi might have misinterpretted what Rena and Mion said, but their actions were in line with what Keichi heard. And there was the syringe they used to inject him with the virus, like Takano did to Tomitake. And there were also the members of the Yamainu at his house. Keichi going crazy doesn't explain everything
