WILL THE LOOP EVER END?! There isn't anything much to write about this one-shot kind of special episode. Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Special: Nekogoroshi-hen gives us the usual stuff of whatever has been happening in Season 1 of this anime. It starts of with the dorky club meeting shenanigans and ends on a creepy note. I have no clue on why this arc is particularly called the 'Cat Killing Chapter' as there wasn't anything related to cats of sort. Enjoyed this one, as the mysteries relating to Hinamizawa village just get more mysterious. What actually is the 'maze' that Rika Furude talked about in the last episodeof Season 1 and why Keichi suddenly gets a flashback as nothing major really happens to trigger such memories.
Will have to continue on to the Kai series.
