I just want to say that, watching this while actually being on 2020, is a whole other level of immersion. I know, maybe this isnt the scary Higurashi we know, but I think this doesnt make this one any less good. But I have to admit that it felt more like an action anime more than a thriller one... So...my recommendation. If you really like Higurashi as a horror anime and only for the tension it brings in the original.... then dont watch this one. But if you watch Higurashi because you are a "friendship power" b*tch like I am, then , check it out. And thesong at the end was soooo goood. I have been listening to that song from so long ago, and I didnt know it came from here. It was a nice surprise
