Why do people like Higurashi

there's only like two or three horror anime series total despite how big of a genre it is in other media, so fans have to prop up what we have, no matter how shitty it is

It's not mind control. The drama comes from the underlying desires/trauma/distrust that lets the virus awaken. There's a reason why Mion never goes L5 even though she has the virus the same as anyone else.

If the virus didn't exist none of the murdering would happen. Therefore it's the virus that causes it to happen and is the solution to the mystery of why is everyone killing people.
>>
>>275174045
That's like saying a shooting wouldn't have happened without a gun. Technically correct, but it's not what the story is actually about. The virus is just a plot device to explore the characters' inner worlds. Shion's anger, Satoko's despair, Rena's frustration, or whatever, all exist even without the virus. The virus doesn't incite those feelings, it only manifests them in unusually violent ways. Those feelings are the real crux of the story, not the murders.

In the novel it makes much more sense since K1 thinks he's ultimately responsible for Rika and Satoko's deaths and wants to atone so goes along, and Rena thinks it's Mion who's asking, and wants to give her a final chance to confess and spend time with him before she's arrested.

He really didn't. He portrays Japanese as bloodthirsty psychopathic monsters over and over. He's really in tune with his blood. The issue is when he tries to have his cake and eat it too, which is the defensive aspect of the Japanese collective consciousness, where they deny their violence and play the victim. I think that's where his writing takes a turn for the cringe. Embrace your history, or don't. You can't have both.

You know what? I'm saying it.
Making fun of edgy stuff I feel was warranted at one point, but I feel like it was part of a bad trend where now literally anything with any degree of harshness or dire tonality is considered to be "edgy"

I feel as though the term "edgy" has gone from meaning
>"Empty shock value."
To
>"I'm offended by literally anything harsh. Don't wrongthink and go against my puritanical, sheltered ideals."
The term is 100% a thought terminating cliche and an American corpo buzzword, because the only time you ever see it get used is in reference to harmless pop media and not towards anything genuinely pushing boundaries.
Moreover, there's people whose entire personality is being embarrassed of being into self-serious, somewhat edgy/dramatic shit when they were teens and their inability to suspend disbelief is them capitulating to ghosts.

>Why, yes, I did enjoy getting bored to death reading Takano's backstory for hours, then having to read the fragments from the past full of garbage everyone could have guessed from the previous games, just to spend whatever time the game had left with the most underwhelming resolution there could ever be, including making the villains complete buffoons and turning the main characters into shonenshit characters.
At least Miotsukushi (the PS2 version, I can't speak for Omote/Ura) let us spend most of the time with the main cast in Hinamizawa, starting with SoL like the other games, having the characters prevent each other from going crazy just to EARN the right to fight Takano. They had to work hard for it and we got a far better confrontation, involving the entire village. Also no crazy shonenshit from Mion/Akasaka needed. The only superhuman feets were purely supernatural, as it should have been.

Thanks for reading my blog.
>>
>>275182588
>Also no crazy shonenshit from Mion/Akasaka needed
As someone who hates this scene specifically (but not the mountain stuff, that part got plenty of rationale to kind of explain it), the Rika/Takano "fight" was the most I've ever cringed reading a visual novel
>>
>>275182682
I'm okay with it because it was explained as part of Hanyuu's powers and we had seen something similar in ch7.
Mion and Akasaka just being superhuman fighters without supernatural intervention was just silly, however.
>>
>>275182807
Akasaka breaking car doors because "he trained really hard and got really strong" is fine, it's all dramatized fighting. Like basically any manga involving fighting you're going to have a few bullshit feats that you're not supposed to take at perfect face value.

Mion isn't fine because there's no point in having her put a grown ass mercenary guy through a humiliation ritual because uh... she trained for a month or something. Bullshit.

Rika vs Takano was a very straight supernatural fight played into a very real story with characters dodging bullets and shit, it's a Stand fight basically. Complete bullshit, hate it. Hanyuu's involvement in the original ending was more than fine, she just spoke through the radios and spooked people, then there's the bullet scene and that's the extent of the miracle they get, not anymore.
>>
>>275182518
Peak woman
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXPO5sSq8tY
>>
>>275182921
I disagree. Akasaka putting the leader of the villain group through a humiliation ritual of his own halfway through the game (excluding flashback and fragment bullshit) was just as bad. That fight should have happened by the end and be on a more even ground.
The supernatural elements of Rika vs Takano was fine because not only the show made us suspect supernatural involvement from game 1, but we've known for sure about Rika's time travel and Hanyuu's existence since ch7. Akasaka and Mion's shonenshit was far more jarring.
>>
>>275183088
I don't think Akasaka humiliated Okonogi. It somehow was more close than Mion vs Okonogi, which is retarded. Okonogi was still looking out and trying stuff rather than just being taken through the motions like Mion. And Okonogi is just ONE GUY, Akasaka can't fight off an entire army, so this doesn't deflate the stakes. That moment was built up for like, 4 episodes, so it gets to happen I think.

>The supernatural elements of Rika vs Takano was fine because not only the show made us suspect supernatural involvement from game 1, but we've known for sure about Rika's time travel and Hanyuu's existence since ch7
Timeloops that happen when you die are fine. Spooky ghost who reincarnated into the timeline and can occasionally talk into radios is fine. Miracle moments that happen at the height of the story to make a point about how you CAN get your happy ending and something unexpected can happen... they're fine, you get that big weird moment where the bullet is stopped. Okay cool.

A fucking stand fight where characters weaponize their superpowers to dodge multiple bullets and you're supposed to follow it like straightforward, no themes going on, no allegory, no nothing, it's just HAPPENING and you're supposed to take that action scene for what it is? Sorry man, I wont take that.
>>
>>275183185
>Akasaka can't fight off an entire army
He literally fought his entire platoon.
>That moment was built up [...] so it gets to happen
Not like this though.
>weaponize their superpowers
Yes? Rika was doing that anyway with her timeloops.
Mion and Akasaka weaponizing some sudden shoneshittery is what's not fine.
>>
>>275183377
>He literally fought his entire platoon.
It was like 4 or 5 people in close combat, they had an army to face. These guys had weapons too, although they had to trade them for tasers after that.
>Not like this though.
How else? Do you just want the powerlevel to be slightly lower? Should Akasaka only beat up two guys? I don't know man, it's not as appealing.
>Yes? Rika was doing that anyway with her timeloops.
Again, there's a huge difference between "after I die, I wake up 1 month ago, and I don't even have my most recent memories anyway", and "I'm literally playing dozens of magic tricks on the fly to dodge and block bullets while my opponent keeps shooting and running like it's a fucking boss fight or something".

If Akasaka beating up a few people is bullshit and shonenshit, then almost any fiction that involves action scenes qualifies. Because at SOME point you'll have some guy beating up a few other guys to assert big dick energy and other reasons. Akasaka had it built up.
>>
>>275183487
>It was like 4 or 5 people in close combat
And everyone else was afraid to approach because he was SO COOL and would destroy them all.
>Do you just want the powerlevel to be slightly lower?
He should not be able to kung-fu his way through a crowd. Only 1-on-1 and he should only have won by an inch against Okonogi.
>there's a huge difference between
Not really. Both feel reasonable in this setting. Random shonenshit does not.
>Akasaka had it built up.
lol no he hadn't, it came out of left field in ch8.
>>
>>275183674
>And everyone else was afraid to approach because he was SO COOL and would destroy them all.
Well yes it's a bit self-indulgent but it's not like it deflates all stakes. I usually don't give R07 much leeway for that kind of writing but in this instance it's been built up for 4 volumes, Akasaka gets to fucking style on a few dogs.
>He should not be able to kung-fu his way through a crowd. Only 1-on-1 and he should only have won by an inch against Okonogi.
Boring as shit. I mean, okay it could work in another story, but Higurashi was never like that. Tons of characters defeated multiple people.
>Not really. Both feel reasonable in this setting
Regardless of how you feel, there's *objectively* a difference between "waking up like you've had a dream, but you're now one month in the past", and pulling ACTUAL MAGIC TRICKS ON THE FLY in the real world. That's like, the difference between seeing the future in your dreams and starting to fucking fly and shoot DBZ beams. Both are supernatural powers but one is doing something very different.

>it's not like it deflates all stakes
It definitely does. It doesn't belong here.
>it's been built up for 4 volumes
Him helping Rika was built up for 4 volumes. Him becoming Jack Chan meets Chuck Norris was not.
>Boring as shit.
Skill issue.
>in the real world
Rika uses her knowledge from other fragments IN THE REAL WORLD. Hanyuu materializes IN THE REAL WORLD and uses her magical stare to make enemy soldiers listen to her demands in the Sonozaki rape dungeon IN THE REAL WORLD.
>Both are supernatural powers but one is doing something very different.
It still belongs, unlike Jack Chan bullshit and Aikido bullshit.

But hey, anon, if you were satisfied with Matsuribayashi, more power to you. I hated it though and, without Miotsukushi, I would have left the franchise with a bitter taste.
>>
Do the console arcs have voice acting?
>>
>>275184585
>It definitely does
It objectively doesn't because Akasaka can't solve the fight alone. In fact he's sidelined right after that.
>Him helping Rika was built up for 4 volumes. Him becoming Jack Chan meets Chuck Norris was not.
He specifically worked on becoming stronger since the first time he failed to apprehend Okonogi (or someone else). And again, there isn't anything wrong with specifically these being a physical confrontation (on top of finding her).

Again, your complaints are... oddly arbitrary and specific. Like, okay, your own limit for what's deemed acceptable or not is "beating one guy extreme diff", which I find dumb, but most people and most works don't abide with that rule. At the same time it's also really weird how the chuuniest fight in the world gets a pass because "magic was established in timeloops so DIO's timestops to dodge bullets and move like in a vidya boss fight are fine too I guess"

>Rika uses her knowledge from other fragments IN THE REAL WORLD.
Memories. They're not magic tricks. No DBZ beams, no timestops.
>Hanyuu materializes IN THE REAL WORLD
Reincarnation. See above.
>uses her magical stare to make enemy soldiers listen to her demands
That's just a CHR dice roll. That's what you'd expect from a ghost. Wasn't that on the mountain fight? But anyway, again, very different.

I'm not trying to convince you to like one or the other, it's pretty cool that it has different endings for different people (although Mionfags will never get a pass, sorry boys Rena takes it this is my final call). But the way you categorize things is a bit weird imo.

>noooo bro the anime skipped the best parts
the "best parts" aren't that good to begin with. this series is massively overrated.
>>
>>275184750
I don't know what to tell you anymore.
Higurashi characters becoming shonenshit MCs just because is too jarring, compared to avoiding bullets because of the supernatural.
At least with the supernatural you can right it off as "it's just because of Hanyuu lol". But having people be one man armies just from training is too silly.
I don't get how you can't see it that way. But I guess we'll agree to disagree.

>>
>>275185428
It's objectively worse because the VN has a far more developed story with tons of additional, GOOD elements, minor characters, worldbuilding, subtle and well written horror moments... the anime skips all the good stuff to go to the edgeslop.
>I DON'T CARE BECAUSE MUH PARASITES MUH VIRUS IT WAS NEVER GOOD
The worldbuilding is what Higurashi is best at. It's trying to invite you in this small village full of traditions, old people, customs, small and enjoyable things. You're supposed to feel like Keiichi in a lot of ways. Skipping all this shit kills some of the best things about Higurashi.

Hell, the anime skips the fucking introduction monologue K1 has as he kills Rena. This is important stuff. You can't just remove that.
>>
>>275185528
That's not what the word objective means. For it to be objectively worse the game would have to be an anime that was better, or at least an actual game.

With Gou/Sotsu it feels like R07 tried to push Rika/Satoko as the new face of the franchise (look how that turned out), but we all know the true 07th mascot, and the better character.

>>275211794
>tried to push Rika/Satoko as the new face of the franchise (look how that turned out)
People disliked the show, sure, but it made Satoko more popular than ever.

Rika was always the second face of the franchise, arguably as much as Rena. But the Rika/Satoko setup is clearly calculated and not organic

Any discerning consumer will only despise how she was treated, true intellectuals still love Satoko.
>>
>>275211848
>but it made Satoko more popular than ever
a lot of that popularity is from people that disliked or didn't understand Satoko's OG character, and now they just like this heckin schizo lesbian version of her.

Don't worry, he's just waiting for the war in Ukraine, the Palestine / Israel conflict, the China / Taiwan conflict and hunger in the world to stop, then he will go back to work on his new project. Until then, he has no choice but to work on Higurashi spinoffs to pay the bills...

you have trash taste, I´m sorry to say. Meakashi has no club scenes, and retroactively ruins watanagashi by making shion´s motives rather ridiculous. not to mention how stupid it is that shion can kill so much of the sonozaki family so easily, and no one suspects a thing. honestly, the only reason it´s not the worst chapter, is because matsuribayashi exists

I really like Irie's serious scenes where he talks about the Hojo situation and how he wishes he could do more.
Like that part in Tatari where he has to hold K1 back from charging at Teppei after they witness the abuse firsthand, since attacking him would probably only blow back on Satoko.

Dracula is awful and does not remotely hold up today. Most popular VNs are better than it. It deserves credit for popularizing vampires in fiction maybe, but it is just not enjoyable to read.

I agree. The event itself was whatever, but the lead up and the aftermath are pure Kino. I enjoyed all of 6. One of the few cases where I could not put it down. Glad I went in knowing nothing. Made the experience a million times better

For Higu you are unironically better reading with the OG sprites since everything else is a travesty
After that, reading Umineko until you realize what the blonde witch and the blue witch are, which you MAY use it to see sotsugyou. Or read umineko in its entirety and then watch it. Either way, it comes after OG higu so don't touch it before the end

I watched the first couple routes of this but couldn't get into it. Why does that one green haired girl walk around with a pistol under her arm and nobody asks any questions at all? I think that was around the time I stopped watching.

S1 is meant to be confusing, making you ask more questions than you get answers. S2 is where it starts making sense.
>Why does that one green haired girl walk around with a pistol under her arm and nobody asks any questions at all?
Pretty sure it's a BB gun. I think R07 said it was an idea from the early days of the VN's development. She was supposed to use it at some point, but it got discarded later so the gun only stayed as a design feature which kinda suits her tomboyish personality.
In S4 she's shown using it once for training.

i like it when they show bad people getting what's coming to them, but writers try to pass it off as bad; it shows how out of touch they truly are. rena stopped the whore preying on poor lonely men and stealing their money.

You choose to drink alcohol knowing its effects. The virus is like if someone spiked your drink before you were about to drive a car in a race or something. It's done without consent.

Higurashi and Umineko suffers from pacing, it's a shame. The slice of life school parts are so fucking boring.

It's hard to animate scary shit.
Not impossible, but just saying, that's the case. Animu style doesn't play well with horror. No matter how spooky or depraved the circumstances, the cartoon graphics pull you away from total fearful immersion.

With this, the thing that revived and murdered this franchise so hard it can't loop anymore is gone for good.

Good riddance to both this and what this shit show franchise has become.

The brain worms are literally real. Hanyuu is the Queen Parasite inside Rika's brain that drives others insane either at will or by accident. Hanyuu was originally malicious, but Ryukishi chickened out and made her innocent by retardation in later arcs.

She's literal seconds away from blowing up a classroom of 8 year olds. Keiichi only beats her with magic time-travel memories. Rika even says in the VN that this has happened before and everyone died because Keiichi didn't have that.
