Higurashi no Naku Koro ni / When They Cry
kakashi6613:
Higurashi is one of my all-time favorites. At first I was like "WHAT THE HELL" and then I was like "Nah way..." then I was like "MOAR!!!!" Seriously one of the most awesome plot twists ever. The first season is the most confusing thing ever, but by the second season you have built a bond with all the characters, and once you figure out who/what you are supposed to be rooting for, it's an emotional rollercoaster. It's such a great anime; I loved the whole thing. The creepiness factor is pretty cool too. (click to show/hide)USO DA!! There are some really creepy parts in S1. Kai will answer all your questions though; no worries.

I KNOW!! That always bugged the hell out of me whenever they were in trouble, especially in Kai. I was like "MION! YOU HAVE A FUCKING GUN!! USE IT YOU DUMB BITCH!!" Hahaha. Anyways, yeah.

Both seasons and the first 2or 3 episodes of REI answer all questions and answers. Even why Mion has a gun and didn't use it that much :)
Although I watched the show a while ago I also played the games and I think it was only properly explained in the game :) cuz in the anime it didn't actually matter. They only did it in the game cuz they had the text line free for it :)
I'm booking a re-watch of the series for 12th December, right after Slayers.

I started on the manga, I hope it's as good as the game.

I liked the first season, but Kai is SO FUCKING SLOW AND BORING! I'm now watching it at 1.5-2x normal speed, that's the only way to make it acceptable. The first season was good, lots of mindfuckery, bloody murder, the fingernails... oh god, the nails! That was the only time an anime made me feel nauseous. You can get things figured out fairly well if you just pay attention. The whiplash moodswings and the fact that you're not spoonfed everything are what make it good. But Kai... It's like being forced to attend kindergarten and being treated like a child when you've already gotten a PhD. After 21 episodes it hasn't revealed anything new or surprising. I put in a larger than normal amount of intellectual effort while watching Higu-ni in order to make sense of it. I was right about everything, and Higu-kai has left me feeling thoroughly cheated for not being given new twists to figure out.
Havoc10K:
Because ... (click to show/hide)Kai and Ni are done differently, and were supposed to be that way, if you really don't understand why it was like it go and play the games. And tell me honestly, did you know from season 1 why or how it all lead to the same conclusion ? in first season nothing, absolutely nothing hinted at what the nurse was aiming for.
