Welp. Either I never saw it because of adblocking, or I've completely banished it from my memory.

higurashi itself has a whole bonus scene where they discuss what makes a vn without any choices a game and bring up the idea that mystery novels themselves are a form of game because the player is challenged to engage with the act of mystery solving themself, so by extension mystery vns with or without choices count as a game

Speaking of, are any of the Higurashi animes worth watching out of curiosity?

No. At least especially of the million sidestories and extra OVAs that got animated, which were very superfluous stories. Gou/Sotsu had an idea to them that could have been interesting but was executed poorly (which subsequently might have gotten fixed a bit in the manga version).

March Comes Like A Lion is supposed to be pretty good, right? Netflix told me they’re losing it soon and it’s only two seasons so I’m thinking I should watch it unless the anime version of the series is bad?

i think it's much more commonly watched than read, and aside from the author having chops i can't say i heard much praise until the anime

but anyway, yes it's good. there's a bit of tone whiplash in the earlier episodes but it settles nicely.

The anime is amazing and incredibly well done. My only complaint is that there is not more.

It's one of my absolute favourite shows, I cannot recommend it highly enough. The manga is itself really strong and the adaptation captures it perfectly. I'd say it's a toss-up which is the better version, with some scenes benefitting more from the medium change than others, but personally I do slightly prefer the anime.

(For english readers even moreso, part of what makes the manga so good is the extremely deliberate panel composition & text blocking, which translations invariably have to gently caress with just 'cause english isn't written vertically)

If you've read & enjoyed the VN, then would describe Gou/Sotsu as... Worth... Watching, I guess? With the caveat that it's pretty bad in a lot of ways but they're interesting ways at least? I don't regret my time with it anyway, at its best it's a really fun kind of black comedy

it plays exactly like a sad slow western. sometimes I'm in the mood for that and sometimes it's the most boring thing imaginable.
