>She was already different in Mina since like I said, she was stuttering and distraught before Keiichi had even given her the answer whereas in Matsuri she has no issues keeping up the act.

No, that was afterwards. You keep ignoring that. I showed her monologues and before being hit by Hanyuu she's well enough to keep her mask.

>What matters is that Rika sees it and does something about it, instead she just gets worried and that's it.
What matters is that Rika knowing about it ruins the whole perfect future spiel the anime pushes which is necessary to keep that senseless ending existing.

>Huh? The point was that she doesn't even want to stay in Hinamizawa even in the original VN, and you twisted that into something else.
You're the one trying to twist Okinomiya into a distant place even though if that were the case the conflict wouldn't exist.

>Either way that's not even compatible with the VN because Hanyuu went back to being a ghost whereas in the manga she's still corporeal in 1984. She even has to call her over the phone instead of teleporting.

Hanyuu can take spirit form in Kokoroiyashi. But she can't leave beyond a certain area in that manga for some reason. It's actually a limit that comes up in a couple of side-stories (and probably why the console arcs retcon Rena's pre-Hinamizawa delusions into not being Hanyuu related at all, since that concept creates that hole).

>Yes anon, but it doesn't mean most people disliked the episode as shown by the poll and the actual thread about it during its release had people agreeing with the fact that the realities of time are a bitch but the club meeting showed that everyone's still friends and, again, the ending of Sotsu says being separated doesn't mean losing your friendship.
Like I pointed out, people expected more delving into the future and expanding on what was going on there. The complaints started after people realized there was nothing else to add and it was all just a badly written plot device.


>Again, her Matsuri's vacation ideas showed that she did want to break from the monotony of the village so she's always wanted to experience new things, which is understandable.
Her Matsuribayashi vacation ideas are reasonable, unlike St.Lucia, and also are all stuff that can be done around the Hinamizawa/Okinomiya area.

>She still remained a beloved icon regardless.
My whole point is that it makes no sense. Even if she dismisses the curse she's abandoning a large traditional shrine. All those traditional old people AND their children taking it well and even still being devoted to Rika even though she can go years without returning by the village is just badly written garbage.

>Why would she? It's just high school after all and they have no idea what's going on in that school even, they don't even know about Satoko's suffering in the Gou meeting.
The point is regarding Rika's intentions. You're saying her going to St.Lucia immediately and obviously implies a bunch of other stuff about her future life, rather than just being an empty shell of a wish, even if the anime says nothing about what you claim it means. I'm pointing out Mion's words because it shows someone in-universe not making the assumptions you're making at all.


>Except literally the only things required are the high studying expectations because Satoko is unable to keep up and would be separated from Rika regardless
Which is only an issue due to no vacation. If vacations existed they'd get to be together long before Satoko's big breakdown. And no vacations in the first place is just a ridiculous step. Same goes to everything else I mentioned.

>Saying that the christianity thing should shoo away Rika is like saying that having to study should make her not want to go to school period. She herself admitted that she's willing to go through shit she doesn't want for the sake of the lady environment.
The Christianity focus changes the environment itself which is why it was removed in the first place. Yeah, you still have "ladies", but you also have mass and even bible studies. No infinite tea time when outside classes.

>doesn't sound like a hick village at all, I don't know why you keep trying to squeeze in a "maybe."
Because Okinomiya is right there by the side? You're the one forcing that it must mean she's away from everything even though nothing about that is said.


>Don't dodge the fact that you omitted the part about being FORCED to stay somewhere, again, she went to St Lucia because it was her dream, that's the opposite of being somewhere against your will.

You're looking too much into the very specific wording of a translation.

同じ場所に留まり続はなきゃいけないのが嫌いってだけよ

The whole point is that she dislikes and is being forced into the situation -because- she can't continue traveling. It's not that she only dislikes it because she's being "forced" which isn't actually part of the original wording.

Gou/Sotsu/Meguri wanted to heavily ignore it (probably because it makes Rika's love for it even more bizarre), but it was there even in Higurashi.
