I hope they throw a curve ball in soon because for something that's supposed to be new and for people who already know the original material they're just retreading a lot of old ground so there's no tension or mystery yet. Although, maybe I think that because I just watched the complete original series over the summer.

i'm not sure how you could hide things for two more episodes after the way episode 2 opens like the rest of the changes are small that one was way too big for that idea to make sense lol

Satoko got injured trying to stop Rika? Killed herself after finding Rika dead?) after her friends started dying.

I'm so glad Keiichi learned from his mistakes and took Rika's advice to heart about trusting your friends, and so avoided another Onikakushi-hen ending.

Uh . . . (Old Higurashi spoilers) I can't say I expected Keiichi to be attacked first, and then to survive. Not that there's much good that could happen from there on in that timeline. I wonder when Rika was killed, though. It sounded like it could have been about the same time as, or maybe even after, Reina went nuts. It's been a while since I read/watched Higurashi, but that's not supposed to happen, is it? I thought her death was the catalyst for people succumbing to the virus. I really can't wait to see where this goes.

I really hope Keiichi is still an unreliable narrator a la Onikakushi-hen because otherwise this arc just descended into flatout self-parody at the end. Like I expect some amount of tonal dissonance from Higurashi but this had me straight up laughing at points.

I'm enjoying it so far, even the campy murder stuff in the most recent episode. Though basically all of the specifics of the OG Higurashi's big plot details have long sense fallen out of my memory. Just there be loops, purple can remember those loops, and nothing else. Both of which can basically already be gathered from the second episode of this show. So taking the story mostly on its own merits has been pretty fun. I don't really think anything except maybe what can be known from weeb cultural osmosis is really necessary to enjoy the new show. edit: added spoilers in politeness to the above poster.

the time loops are a narrative structure thing, they're secondary to the character arcs and relationships that make up higurashi as a story, as well as the core details to what the original mystery was, those are what gou is twisting the knife on. those are the things that i think this first arc has less punch without because if you don't know the original story details there's not much to infer from what happened here other than what's on the surface, kind of a weak foot to start on for a mystery

Admittedly I never read the VN, so I cannot judge it's merits as an adaptation. However I think these four episodes have communicated fairly well what everyone's emotional deal and relationships are when things are mostly normal. Which was something I remember finding lacking in the original anime over a similar period of episodes. I guess what I'm getting at is that unless there are significantly more drastic changes I think they're mainly there as a extra layer for people who read the vn/saw the original, rather than completely necissary to viewing.

it's not an adaptation at all, they're animating some of the sol scenes from the original story but episode 4 marks onidamashi as an entirely different story to the first arc of the original the key visual for gou itself already implies they're going in some big directions too i'm not gonna push anyone off watching gou or w/e but it's definitely already diverged so much that it's not something i'd recommend as an entry point to higurashi, it'd be more awkward than reading the console arcs on a first read of the original vn The Colonel fucked around with this message at 16:51 on Oct 23, 2020 |

I'm assuming he was seeing hallucinations because of that weird flickering filter that was applied after he entered the kitchen till the end of the fight. Rika might have been able to talk him down for a bit but Rena with HS probably triggered something.

I should probably do a reread soon. Midjack posted:Still need to find out what the renovations at the clinic are and why Satoko was caught up with her. Yeah, I was curious about the "renovations" (which I really doubt are actually renovations, unless the entire medical staff decided to just move out or something, or maybe they're just dropping the facade), too. That was the point for me in the episode where it jumped to "Wait, where are they going with this?". Kreeblah fucked around with this message at 23:17 on Oct 23, 2020 |

my guess takano isn't going to be the big bad this time around, and I think the yamaino leaving the clinic implies that something happened to her.

I didn't read the VN, but did they ever elaborate on the woman that was the leader of Tokyo, Nomura, in the VN? I only briefly remember her from the anime, but I don't remember anything else about her. Maybe she could still be doing something, or maybe it's a completely new character behind the scenes?

The nurse at the end is the same one who kills Satoko at the end of ep five of season 2 of the original run. What does this mean? I have no idea.

I don't think the deceptive marketing was a good idea in the end, as these new arcs really don't do enough to ease in new viewers so it's just going to leave people confused.

if they had just kept it in their pants until THIS episode and cut out the opening to ep 2, I think the sneakiness could've paid off really well. if I still thought I was watching a mostly on point adaption of onikakushi (as all the differences in the first 3 eps outside of one scene are stuff you can just argue as being a result of an adaption) and suddenly k1 opened the door I'd lose my poo poo
