I said it was not a plot twist. The phrase "does not deserve to be called a plot twist [...] in any way" very strongly implies that I do not consider it one.

Allow me to remind you of your own words:

--- Quote from: Havoc10K on September 19, 2011, 03:37:37 PM ---in first season nothing, absolutely nothing hinted at what the nurse was aiming for.

So which is it?


--- Quote from: Havoc10K on September 20, 2011, 11:55:51 AM ---If you actually did bother to read what was several times been posted in this topic, Season one is called Questions, while Season two is called Answers.

I know what they're called. I also mentioned regurgitation earlier, but since it appears you did not get it, allow me again:
Higu-kai compares highly unfavourably with Higu-ni because it completely fails to surprise the viewer (i.e. me in this case). It's bland and average. The new information it provides is not original or even particularly interestingly presented.

There, that's my criticism in a nutshell. Do you finally get it? Are you finally prepared to either counter it and prove me wrong, or to admit that perceptions may differ and that what you consider a work of genius can legitimately be criticised by someone with a different point of view?


--- Quote from: Havoc10K on September 20, 2011, 11:55:51 AM ---While i pointed it out many times to you in other threads, if you let yourself be guided by clishe'd things there is really nothing for you to watch any more and you should stop watching anime altogether. If you care about tv tropes and cliche you should stop watching anything in TV actually, cuz everything has been overused several times and the only thing that changes is characters and setting.

I do not recall this, and to be frank I don't see why I should care about yet another straw man.

Havoc10K:
(click to show/hide)Her motivation to prove her grandfather's theory was hinted in the end of Season one but was shown in more detail in season 2, her aim however was to completely obliterate Hinamizawa in doing so, which was explained only in season 2.
Motivation and goal or aim are not the same things, you need motivation to achieve your aim and goals.

Supai:
OH MY GOD! SOMEONE CRITICISED THE ANIME THAT I LOVE! I MUST DEFEND IT WITH ZEAL!

Anyway, I loved both Higurashi no Naku Koro ni and Higu-kai.

--- End quote ---

Yet to find an anime that makes me feel nauseous.

Havoc10K:
I think the nails scene was incredibly heavy indeed, but I didn't feel like it at all. My thought was how they managed to make the voice actress to make a very reasonably close reaction. And even thinking that even since that is just an animation, it kind of makes you think, DAMN that has to hurt more than hell itself.

I don't wish this on anyone.

Jbstormburst:
Hey, guys.  Sorry for the necro, but I'm about to finally get into this series, and I was hoping that I could get some encode recommendations.  For this, and maybe Kai and Rei, too, please?  Only thing I ask is that most of the Japanese is kept intact.
