Higurashi no Naku Koro ni / When They Cry
Havoc10K:
you askem me that in a PM, l'll answer you here as well for others to know, you don't have to watch this SPECIAL episode, it doesn't bring anything new to the series but you can sit and enjoy the Can Killing Chapterwich in the game is unlockable after beating a few arcs.
if you drink heavy stuff ... share with us please :]

So... thanks to the freeleech I decided to get this, which everyone has raved about. After 8 episodes and two resets, I think that's enough for me to say this is easily one of the worst series I've ever seen.
There's so many things that make this series complete shit. It's not mysterious in the slightest. The comedy is ridiculous and not funny at all. No, that doesn't make the murders and the beatings any more disturbing, it just makes them feel out of place. The characters are childish as hell... I wish they'd all stay dead, permanently. There was nothing for me to enjoy. Dumb characters, boring plot, terrible comedy... and of course the grotesque murders... that I felt nothing for, because I hated the characters so much. Ugh.
Complete waste of time. Dropped for good.
Oh, wait. There was one good thing about it. The opening song was fantastic. That bumps this series from a 1/10 to a 2/10. Hoorah.

yeh the OP song is awesome, but l would like to tell you something about this series, this IS a mystery show, unless you watched second season first, the reason why we who did enjoy this show love it is the way Rika tries to fight whats comming every time, this show is like Umineko but it's a completely diferent level of story, the first season IS confusing but without it second season makes no sense, l recommend watching them both in 2 go's
(click to show/hide)each 2-3 episodes are a chapter, one chapter is one world Rika awakens as the old Rika, what she tries to achieve is surviving the day of her fated death, she travelled through more than a thousand worlds in wich she died one way or another, additionally, most of the world have one of her friends kill someone or die for one reason or another, the reason this is happening is due to the parasite in all of the villages, Rika's presence in the village suppresses the parasite's activity to a minimum, however there are events that trigger them to act, making their hosts=humans act violently and murder. this is explaned in more detail in l think eps 10-13, but don't remember, l'm not gonna say how this is ending, but the ending starts right about in the last 3 chapters and it's rather surprising for Rika, the mystery is solved for viewers really early in second season, and after the second half of the first season.
If not for the story, then for the loli's, this show is worth watching for the Loli's alone :D

what you wrote between "the reason" and "every time" is a spoiler on its own IMO, you can't tell that if you started the show unless you reach the end of the first season.
Wait.... you want to convince dbml to repick the show by SPOILING one of its biggest surprises to him?!
