Hogama posted:I don't know that it's that so much as it is now much more plain that this is not actually a re-adaptation but some new work that kind of assumes you've already read/watched the originals. Given the intro and and a few other tells [VN Discussion] I guessing that Higurashi New is the Stein's Gate 0 to the original, adding in new arcs rather than adapting the original vn, the question remains though whether it will be used for more than twists on the original arcs, this episode was giving me Ch1 and 6 mashup vibes

Well, that's unfortunate... I was watching the new series with some friends who haven't seen the 2006 adaptation or read the VN, and now I'm not sure whether to continue. (We haven't seen episode 2 yet.) Was looking forward to getting a more faithful take on Higurashi, instead of an even less faithful one. Bleh.

I'm totally up for just doing something completely whacky and new with the classic characters, though it does make me wonder what exactly the point of this all is going to be now. Like is there really that much more story to really mine out of having Rika go through even more loops again? New ED was really nice btw.

It's probably ultimately more interesting that they do something new, but the problem most extra Higurashi stories run into is that the original eight chapters tells an extremely complete story with basically no loose ends and full closure for every conceivable character and arc. This why I feel the most successful side stories are the ones who involve mostly new characters like Onisarashi. But you never know, there could be something decent ways to re-explore some of those arcs through similar but different paths.

The info in the opening scene of episode two isn't revealed until six episodes into season two of the original series. This is going to be an interesting experience for you and I hope it's not too confusing.

I've been keeping up with this thread to decide if there are enough differences from the old one to watch it. Am I to understand based on the posts on this page that surprise, it's a sequel and not a remake?

Rika's Watanagashi dance looked really nice with what I assume are more modern motion capture animation techniques. All the main girls' mouths look really weird to me though, like they're all on some sliding scale of :3

sailor moon crystal 1: wasn't a remake and 2: the old series didn't need a remake. fma brotherhood was a remake of something that needed and it that turned out great, so what's the reason for all these people just going "haha sike, it was actually a sequel all along. fooled you!" like it's still clever the 10th time it's happened? to be clear I'm not even against what they're doing here, it just seems a little goofy that this keeps happening.

you could end up like Berserk where there are like 4 adaptations of the same arc and they're all on a sliding scale of "criminally incomplete" to "trash"

Wow they really just completely spoiled basically everything to do with Rika. Honestly, doing something like this pisses me off. That other recent thing turning out to be stealth sequel was good because they didn't actually spoil any of the big reveals and the hints were unobtrusive to new players. But this really feels like them tricking a bunch of people into watching Higurashi for the first time and then abruptly spoiling the poo poo out of them so they can't even enjoy the original. Which is a real rear end in a top hat thing to do. If anyone reading the thread is thinking of watching Higurashi for the first time and is considering the 2020 version, go watch the original anime instead. The story is better bingewatched anyway. I'm not even sure what the point of the 2020 anime is supposed to be, making Rika do more timeloops is loving pointless and stupid and just ruins the ending of the original. Did they think this is what fans wanted? Just make Umeniko you cowards!

What's left for the series to explore? All the main mysteries are solved in the original and its resolved very neatly. I know people are speculating that there's a Umeniko connection but if there is that would just be even worse since then you're spoiling two series for people. :\

I don’t think anyone is saying there can’t be a sequel, but the “gotcha” Ryu07 was going for doesn’t seem to have much really going for it with a hell of a lot against it. Like why even hide that this was a sequel at all?

well they did announce that it's actually higurashi gou and not higurashi new the moment the second episode aired idk at first i thought it would be lame to get an original story but at this point like. gently caress it give me some fun rika scenes i'm up for it, it'll probably be better than some of the console arcs it'll be better than the higurashi movies that change the ending of chapter 6 so that rena loving dies from a gunshot wound jesus man how are those movies so bad The Colonel fucked around with this message at 22:58 on Oct 9, 2020 |

Julias posted:I think it's hard to draw broad conclusions about the quality of the first episode without seeing how the rest of the season is paced and adapts certain elements. There's no need to rush to come to a consensus that it's better or worse than the old adaptation, so my advice Is to chill and just enjoy it on a week to week basis
