Alright, M2's second ever review! I'll assume that most of you are familiar with Higurashi already, for convenience's (and spoiler's) sake. Being a long-time Higurashi fan, I'll be an authority to encounter if you want to know about the story. We'll begin with the characters. For those of you who...

The sequel to Higurashi. Less killing and more speeches? Does it work out? In the end, yes. It's just a lot of pain to get to there. Kai continues the story of Higurashi, but instead of showing more arcs of everyone going insane and murdering each other, it concentrates more on solving why the my...

Overview: Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni (Kai, the sequel will be included as part of the review) is probably the only anime of the mystery/horror genre that succeeds at what it's defined to be. Sure, there are other good mystery anime, like Gosick, or other good horror anime, like Mirai Nikki, but ne...

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai! Yes, say it 5 times fast. I'm going to start my review by referencing the first season. First of all, to fully understand and enjoy the series, you will definitely have to indulge in the gore soaked mayhem of the first season. I personally wasn't huge on the first s...

The first season of Higurashi no Naku koro ni can't be truly appreciated without watching the second season Higurashi no naku koro ni kai. The unpredictable story really brings out the suspense, irony, and enjoyment of this anime. The ending of Higurashi no naku koro ni kai is perfect; not a depr...

Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni masterfully combines gore, mystery, and beliefs through its unique dimensional storytelling structure that creates perfect cliffhangers and explores themes of societal rejection. The artwork is a masterpiece with dramatic style shifts that perfectly capture the horror el...

I don't want to really write a full review because it's kinda hard for me to gather all my thoughts having watched this and the first season. I'm currently watching one of the OVAs (Rei), unfortunately not impressed by the whiplash of tone of the first OVA episode (but that'll be for another revi...

I loved Rika Furude and Miyo Takano. In Minagoroshi-hen, Rika was awesome and told everyone she knew that she needed Satoko back from the clutches of Teppe i(Satoko's uncle). and In Matsuribayashi-hen, Takano wanted to make Hinamizawa suffer so she can get power and triumph. The stories/arcs were...

Unlike everyone else who seems to be annoyed at those that didn't see the first series (or played the games, etc., etc.), I was not aware of what I was picking up. My friend recommended me this series and I did not see the first series available, so naturally I picked this up. So coming from the ...

When I finished the first season I was so eager to know what happens next. I was kinda confused after the last episode of the first season. Well, after season two, everything is clear. Basically the second season explains what actually happened in the first season and brings us end of the plot. Y...

If you know the future you can change fate, but for the rest of us, we can't. Higurashi Kai, the name rings music in my ears. I ASSUME, you have watched the first season, so I will continue now. The first season is usually considered superior to the second season, and I do admit the first season ...

TRAGEDY STRIKES BACK! It's dread and dreary back in Hinamizawa Town. This season had reduced the violence as compared to the previous season. I got into this show because of the horror and shock element introduced in Season 1 but I actually didn't mind the drop down in violence as I had started t...

- English Review (Translated version) It is clear that when one finishes watching "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni" what he wants is to see immediately his sequel looking for answers to the thousands of questions, doubts and incomprehensible events that have remained dormant in your head. Not understan...

What a way to answer pretty much everything in the first season in such an excellent way. This season changes its genre from hack-n-slash to a full blown mystery. I really don't like saying this but its really true, this season is why you watch the show. Watching the first season and not this you...

ah sorry to start out with an opinion, but i will anyway. Higurashi Kai was my favorite anime, and even series of Higurashi. The outstanding summary of why Furude, Rika lives only in June 83 and introduce the actual Oyashiro-sama. if anything, this is a MUST SEE for people who like the first seri...

This anime is good but don't be fulled. I thought i was going to watch more kids get killed and see gore every episode, but Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai makes you learn MORE about the story than in Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. Cute little Rika is the main character in this one, she tries her best ...

Its weird for me to do this but since i haven't watched that much anime that came out in this entire year i decided to make a review for an anime that i just finished watching a few weeks ago. But what makes this so weird is that i'm making a review for an anime that came out like 13 years ago bu...

An amazing anime that is a bit like Marmite in that you either love it or hate it. The story is at first purposefully confusing, however, as the anime progresses the story begins to make more sense, little by little in its own abstract way. The characters are pretty weak, namely only being differ...

Often times in the world of cash grabs and continuations, the viewers of entertainment mediums are often disappointed. The next series either attempts to make bank off the success of the acclaimed first season, or it's simply made to continue the initial season's train ride until the audience rea...

When They Cry is back with another season that promises to explain most of the series’ mysteries and give an answer to all the questions. If you’ve watched the first season of When They Cry, you probably know that it got pretty bloody at times and it didn’t fail to shock its viewers several times...
