Review of Higurashi: When They Cry – Kai
First off, Higurashi isn't nearly as bloody as its hype would claim. Granted, yes this series can get extremely bloody at times, but, honestly, it isn't nearly as bad as other shows, like elfen lied. STORY 10: I love the story of this show, some mystery shows, it's easy to guess the mystery, but this show makes the task extremely more difficult than the average show. The story goes in directions where, if not for a SOLID story, it could become extremely dumb. ART 8: Yes, the art isn't Attack on Titan, Kara no Kyoukai level, but with the creepy vibe this show may give off attimes, the art, for some odd reason, makes it even creepier, and with the in depth facial features at the EXTRA creepy times, the art just fits.
I won't dive into everything but I love ALL the characters, you care for most, if not all, of the characters, there's even a semi romance built in this show, that is excellent because it doesn't take any from the show.
Overall, I love this show, it amazing. What kept me from watching this show for sooooo long was the idea of watching an overly bloody show, but that's not what this is, it's an extremely well made mystery, and if there's a show that most resembles this show, surprisingly it's the other masterpiece series STEINS; GATE
