Rika’s head doesn’t look like its gonna snap off because her body is so small in comparison. But then we got the PV trailers and it looked like we were going to get a reboot to correct the mistakes Studio Deen made years ago. When they announced a new Higurashi series that was going to be done by a different studio, many of us speculated whether this was going to be a reboot or a sequel. The visual! THE VISUAL! WHAT THE FUCK?! ISN’T THIS SUPPOSED TO BE A REBOOT? WHAT THE FUCK?! WHAT THE FUCK?! WHY IS THERE AN ADULT RIKA?! WAIT, IS THAT ADULT RIKA OR BERN? IS THIS GOING TO BE THE PARALLEL UNIVERSE TO THE WITCHES OF UMINEKO?! THE SHADOWS IN THE OPENING ARE TOO FAMILIAR FROM OTHER WORKS! Ryukishi07, you magnificent, fucking troll master for keeping this hidden until the second episode’s air date! Wait, what the…?! It’s episode 2, why are we seeing Hanyuu? I don’t remember that in the manga. So let’s relive the horrors that plague the town of Hinamizawa and… During a town festival known as Watanagashi (or Cotton Drifting), there’s usually one or two people that go missing or turn up dead. But little does Keiichi know that there’s a little murder mystery that surrounds the town. And ever since moving to this town, he’s found his days are filled with fun mischief with fellow friends Rena Ryuuguu, Satoko Hojo, Mion Sonozaki, and Rika Furude. Higurashi or When They Cry is about a boy named Keiichi Maebara who recently moved to a place called Hinamizawa. After all, Higurashi is one of my favorite animes. I think some time has passed that I should say some thoughts on this…um, story. (Here it is BTW) I’ve made my point on who I like, hate, what ships are worthy, and poked fun at all the deaths that happened throughout the series. Why the heck am I reviewing this anime again? I’ve already written a review in 2009 and re-polished it in 2016.
