Geez, am I the only one getting hyped to see where this goes? I'm ticked that they hid that the show is a sequel and spoiled a big plot twist for new viewers, but I confess I'm interested to see what has pulled Rika back into the loops. I understand why people are worried that this will be yet another retread of the same loops, but I don't think that's the case. The show isn't trying to wrap up any remaining plot threads from Higurashi, because there are none. Instead, I think it's trying to build a new story...y'know, like a sequel. The mystery this time around is, "Why have we been pulled back into the hell loops?" not "Why do things keep going wrong in Hinamizawa?" And given that Keiichi is already starting to remember past loops, I think the whole gang is going to be aware of the mystery, rather than just Rika. And whoever the villain is, I doubt it's Takano Miyo. I am admittedly disappointed to miss out on a Higurashi remake, and I'm thinking of rewatching the old show. Is it streaming anywhere? I looked on Crunchyroll, Hulu, and Netflix, but didn't find anything.

You can watch Higurashi on HiDive or VRV. VRV's probably better since getting that gets you free Crunchyroll as well so it comes to $2 more a month. https://vrv.co/series/G6J01JZVR/When-They-Cry

Yeah I'm interested although I really don't know where they're going with it. Otherwise ep2 was actually slower and truer to the VN (other than the parts that were Just Different) than ep1 was, I liked it. One possibility is that (Umineko spoilers?) this could be an explicit origin story for Bernkastel? And we could see her actually meet LD? IIRC we have speculation about how exactly she came to be but not any direct confirmation. Viola the Mad posted:Geez, am I the only one getting hyped to see where this goes?

i feel like that'd be slightly redundant because higurashi rei pretty much already serves as contextualization for who bern is and how she both is, and kinda isn't, rika. umineko already establishes hinamizawa as being a "game" that lambda put bern through so it wouldn't make sense for it to be where they first meet either

Yeah, I don't think going off on a long tangent about the witches is particularly a good direction for a "Higurashi" anime. That should really be a completely different When They Cry title, if it's done at all. Higurashi should be about Hinamizawa.

there's a reason the only heavy crossover between wtc stuff is 07th theater. if every story got too caught up in interlocking continuity it wouldn't really be very interesting imagine if a wtc story suddenly decided to go on a big tangent about higanbana. people would have to actually acknowledge higanbana and that'd get pretty awkward fast

They'd probably still be gods rather than witches in the context of Higurashi.

That should really be a completely different When They Cry title, if it's done at all. Higurashi should be about Hinamizawa. I feel like Bernkastel could make a pretty good Big Bad, but only if they focus on her being the accumulated dead Rikas. I could see an entity that contains all of the rage, hate, and ruined dreams of the past Rikas coming back to wreck everything, in an "If I can't be happy, YOU can't be happy!" sense. The writers could explore the idea that making all those discarded loops did have consequences that aren't so easily discarded. But bringing in anything else from Umineko, even the concept of witches, is a bad idea. And they should only reveal Bern towards the end of the series. Irony Be My Shield posted:Yeah I'm interested although I really don't know where they're going with it. Otherwise ep2 was actually slower and truer to the VN (other than the parts that were Just Different) than ep1 was, I liked it. I'm sure Takano is always going to try to execute her stupid plan, but I think the threat she poses will be relatively (emphasis on that relatively!) minor compared to whatever has pulled the gang back into the time loops. From a Watsonian perspective, Rika (and possibly the rest of the gang) already knows what the deal is with Takano and at least one way to stop her. Takano will always be an obstacle, but she's still a known quantity--Rika can plan for her. From a Doylian perspective, it's boring for Takano to remain the Big Bad, and it doesn't make much sense. As other people have already noted, the original Higurashi is a complete story without any major loose ends. There's nothing more to be gained from repeating the scenario unchanged. Also, I thought Takano was just a game piece. I don't think she is Lambdadelta herself. e. On a separate note, I'm thinking of rewatching 2006 Higurashi. Would anyone be interested in a Let's Watch thread? If so, I'll make one in the next few days. Viola the Mad fucked around with this message at 01:05 on Oct 12, 2020 |

I just watched the second episode, and holy poo poo. An actual new story. I feel bad for people jumping in blind, thinking it's a remake, but I am absolutely hyped for wherever this goes, especially it's more than just Rika who seems to have an idea of what's going on from the outset this time around. If this is some sort of remade construct of Hinamizawa, though, they should have renamed the town to Hinamizawazawa.

I would be if I hadn’t just blasted through the whole thing a couple of weeks ago on the recommendation of a poster here.  It’s good though, check it out if you haven’t seen it.

As someone who hasn't read Higurashi I don't know how to read the op's "proceed with caution" . Is this adaptation aimed at people coming back to Higurashi, or does it expect to be watched by newcomers?

Basically yes, it's a continuation that by ep 2 has spoilers for the main series and more are hinted at. It may even spoil parts of Umineko (though perhaps not in a strong way because the two series aren't directly connected).

From the broadcast, not too many surprises this time from Ch. 1, but it seems that Keiichi didn't talk with Tomitake after the festival and he's only "missing" now. Also got this yesterday
