It has to have some kind of meaning. It could indeed be a symbol, thrown in by the creators. That, or the reporters were about to film something they shouldn't be filming.

Without a doubt, these arcs exist for a reason. I have a feeling that the anime won't be complete if these arcs weren't shown. I’m hoping for more than just two answer-arcs.

Wikipedia reports it will be 26. > I think they will feature only 6arcs of the game since arc 7 shipped when the anime was still in production and arc 8 will probably ship this summer,maybe some OAV. From what I've read, anime productions do not finish up by the time the first episode is shown. I wouldn't be surprised in fact if there's a lag time of a few weeks between completion and showtime per episode. Based on some of the animation quality of some episodes I've seen (this one included), I'm included to believe so. So I wouldn't be surprised if the decision came down to try to fit the seventh arc in at the end. Of course, we're seeing the result of that, which is too good stuff being left out of the anime. I've stopped trying to guess what's been going on because of that. Still, the show has a great appeal for mystery and shock if anything. > No,there’s a possibility that there will be only 24episodes so there may be a 4episode arc than a 5episode arc.

If you combine that with Cos' statements, that means that the final two arcs will be 5 and 6 episodes each. Just two episodes?

All of this happened two days after the Watanagashi. That, or some days have passed since Keiichi fell off the bridge. It can't be a lot, as the second arc kept going on for a few more days after the Watanagashi. Keiichi would only be able to survive unconcious like that for a few days, though not much. About the uncle: I have no idea where he went. The point is that Rena planned to go on a treasure hunt the day after Keiichi killed the guy. Furthermore, if she knew about the murder, why did she want to invite Keiichi to this, and why was she okay with his decision that he didn't have the time? I think that there's more to this treasure hunt that we assume right now. I think that Irie's indeed dead. The fact remains that Keiichi did hear about someone who killed himself, even before he started thinking about Irie. Oishi could still be alive, indeed.

Also it's the last arc wich features K1 as a narrator. Next arc will probably be 3episodes since the ones who already played the game said that there wasn't much to put in. Some theory: Rika death:I don't think it's K1 really,her stomach seemed open maybe she was watanagashi-ed then who killed her and why?As it something to do with the cure/desease. Gas:First you said that former arcs didn't feauttur gas,it isn't exactly true,after all the anime never went long enought so that the gaz are showed,so I think it's pretty natural for gaz to surface after each arc.But are they really gazes?It's just a tv report,I don't think they are the one who drove people crazy,maybe it's all just media coverage.In fact I think that there is a deasease epidemy(wich the autority talk about as gaz not to afraid people too much).This would mean that the deasease is man-made wich will explain the "bad" roles of Irie in first arc,but also Takano behavior,why she disappear/run away and the fact that the photographer looks like a military.But what is the trigger for the desease to become so communicative? But this theory goes beyond we saw that Satoko become crazy after seing Rika body,so maybe Rika death is the trigger after all she is "the protector of Hinamizawa" arc 2,and maybe K1 isn't as crazy as he seems in this arc and in fact isn't infected. Takano death:K1 just wished for her to die,but did she really die?Maybe ity's just K1 paranoia or most probably like in arc 2 she used a false body. Uncle death:I don't think it is such an important question if he really died or not,the important part it that it triggered K1 paranoia.Personnaly I indeed think he died as for his body disappeareance maybe he was found by Mion and the gang during the treasure hunt(wich will explain their attitude the later day at school.Or maybe was it found by Takano since she seems to know about it(note that may be K1 paranoia again). The hole:K1 lost side of the hole he initially done for the body,in fact he had to go and dig a new one since the sign change place.But why did the old one disappear.My theory would be that Takano used it to burry photographer/false Takaano body in it then change the sign place.Then she waited for K1 by curiosity or something like that. Irie and Oishii death:maybe they didn't really die,K1 just wished them to be death so he imagined the rest.Another most interessant theory would be that Irie would be Takano accomplice(and linked to the desease) and as her he choose his moment to disappear(and his staff elped him saying he commited suicide) and Oiishi was killed because he was a police officer and was annoying to the "hospital staff" since he investiguated too much.On an other hand Irie could be a good guy(comiing in arc 1 to save K1 maybe) and that he was killed by the one who want to spread the desease but this theory doesn't sound right since after all he injected something in K1 in arc1 or maybe he didn't know the desease was in the syringe and killed himself when he found the thruth(ep 13).Or maybe it's just the deasease who affected Irie... A final note when Satoko says that "tthis time K1 was possessed" meaning last time her brother went crazy,wich goes quite well with my shion/satoshi theory from last time. Some correction and news:
