Readers should completely watch the second series, play the Visual Novels, and/or read the manga before reading these descriptions if they do not want to encounter spoilers.Īn older Sawada and Akasaka Mamoru ride in a car together in the countryside.

When They Cry Wiki will still warn when, "Arg, Spoilers be there! Arg!" but it will be harder to avoid actual spoilage as the season progresses. Obviously, When They Cry Wiki cannot help it if someone goes and reads an entire character page to learn that Mion is really Keiichi's twin brother, or that Shion searches for a half-human-half-dog demon even if he does not appreciate her cooking however, the second series episodes start to strongly hint at things in a way that if fully explained will spoil the rest of the series and arcs. Spoilers: When They Cry Wiki tries to avoid spoilers as much as possible on the assumption that some may consult particular episodes or arcs after viewing or reading them.

The title card for the next episode comes down with a crashing sound. As noted in the main article for Tsumihoroboshi-hen, the anime did not include the TIPS from the Visual Novel that reveal the true tragic ending.Īs a departure from the first season, second-season episodes open with the title and the opening theme " Naraku no Hana." They close with the end titles and theme " Taishō a." Afterwards, a chibi Rika and Hanyū comically, and often salaciously, preview the next episode which often involves answering questions sent in from a certain Teppei. She's also the one that saved Takano at the end of Kai, changing her fate.This episode, which opens the original second season, serves as a continuation of the final episode of the previous season, Retake.

Finally, at the end we got something new. Next three loops were pretty boring but if memory serves me right, at least the killers (except for Keiichi) were fresh. Fortunately, it finished pretty quickly with a nice alternative ending. It looked like they were setting up a completely new loop that wasn't present in the og anime but then Akasaka appeared and i was disappointed that we would get a retelling of Himatsubushi-hen.
