Re: Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni

Alright, I've got to ask, what's so appealing about this show?

I know it's got a huge fan following, but as far as I can tell it's a show about highschool students viciously torturing each other and then killing one another off.

Clearly I'm missing something, but I'm not entirely sure what, since that seems to be what most of the publicity and discussion focus on.

I've found it a bit creepy, that's the reason why I read some of the manga. Other than that I don't see the appeal either.

Re: Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni

I've always been meaning to watch this, but I've never gotten around to it. An ex of mine was obsessed with it. I'm hoping it'll be good for some mind****ery, after watching too much cutesy stuff like Haruhi Suzumiya or Azumanga Daioh. :<


A brief explanation on what it is would be wonderful, though.

Re: Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni

Quote:
After moving into the quiet town of Hinamizawa, Maebara Keiichi spends his days blissfully in school often playing games with his local friends. However, appearances can be deceiving. One fateful day, Keiichi stumbles upon news of a murder that had occurred in Hinamizawa. From this point on, horrific events unfold in front of Keiichi, as he soon learns his close friends may not be all that they seem. Based on the amateur mystery game by 7th Expansion, the story is told in a series of different scenarios.

Brief description from: http://myanimelist.net/anime/934/Hig...o_Naku_Koro_ni


I'd say more, but I don't wanan spoil it. Let's just say in order to get what's really going on, you have to watch the second season of it: Higurashi no nku koro ni kai

Haruhi Suzumiya crossovered with Higurashi:





But yeah, I'm been itching to see this show for a while. Is it really good or is people just talking ****?

Also



The reason why I wanna see it.

Re: Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni

You need to watch ALL of it before you can even think you know what's going on.


And yes, it's PERFECT for mind****s
