Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni

testrut · 06-2-2006, 12:00 AM

Awesome show, ****ed up beyond the scope of most anime I've seen, and it's only 1/3 the way through airing. No, Squeek, not ****ed up in the "OMG MINDTRIP LOL EUREKA 7 LOL MECHA" sense, just COMPLETLY ****ED THE **** UP.

The way the series is set up and laid out is one of the most intriguing things I've seen in awhile, and the semi-interesting characters make it even better.

http://animenewsnetwork.com/encyclop...le.php?id=1041

The plot synopsis sounds pretty goofy, but don't even worry about that. Up to eight episodes have been subbed (get WinD subs, they're the only group subbing it steadily as far as I know.) I don't know what the **** else to say other than

The series is weird.

****ing weird

USODA

**Squeek** · 06-2-2006, 12:02 AM

Yes, I've heard of the way Kefit described it. Makes me not want to watch it, and he even recommended I not do so, so I probably won't.

It's kind of a "love it or hate it" deal, I think. If you feel so inclined, I would check out the first four episodes. If you don't like those, then don't worry about watching the rest.

Or don't, your call.

Snowcrafta · 06-11-2006, 12:15 AM

NAILS

New episode out, you guys should honestly go watch this, since it has NAILS in it.

http://a.scarywater.net/wind/

Also, do take the time to watch the first four episodes. If you don't like it, then it isn't really for you. However, this show has more preferrence to me than Haruhi does. If it helps at all, my brother who rarely watches anime, let alone subtitled anime, said he'd watch one or two episodes after I told him about how I reacted to how 8 ended. One or two episodes turned into all 8 that were out, and this is now the first anime we're watching together.

This looks interesting enough, and all of you guys have been talking about it non-stop.

I'll look into it after the show ends, and if I can get a decent explanation as to what makes the show so ****ed up. Yes, that's right, I require spoilers before watching a series such as this. 8)

Snowcrafta · 06-11-2006, 03:19 AM

You can watch 1-4 as one block and 5-8 as another, since each time the story resets. 9 starts a new chapter that is supposed to go for 5 episodes.

Make your call.

Also, Kilga needs to catch up with the rest of us

testrut · 06-11-2006, 06:23 PM

Wow, 9 was pretty crazy.

nails

Kefit · 06-11-2006, 08:48 PM

Screw nails.

More like intestines.

And Rika and Satoko have completely stolen the show away from Rena at this point. I wonder how Rena is going to even things out. Maybe it will involve Cleaver-kun~~~

Bursurk_Lurk · 06-12-2006, 01:40 AM

Episode 5 is the most scary though. Y'know, when he's gonna eat that lunch she made or whatever it was cuz I don't remember

In most animes, the characters always overreact and exaggerate when they want to show that something is delicious, like in screaming about how good it is or starting to cry or something like that (Cooking Master Boy lol). Instead he just says "mmm, delicious" calmly.

Seriously, it scared the **** outta me

Snowcrafta · 06-12-2006, 09:56 PM

rofl.

Two most noteworthy moments for me

Arc 1: "Please" don't be late for school tomorrow. omg eyes are scary
Arc 2: NAILS O_O

If anyone wants in of some random theories that have come up while talking to tsutter and kefit (including that everything that happened in arc 1 was all in K1's head theory) Just bring it up on aim with me.

PS episode 10 alert

Because I'm cool, here's the raw OP video http://snowc.tsutter.com/higuop1024x768.avi

Snowcrafta · 06-15-2006, 03:28 PM

Episode 11 is out.

Hurry up and watch this you tablemats.

tsutter · 06-15-2006, 09:10 PM

Wow, eleven didn't really give me much to work with theory-wise, but showed how zealous K1 is about this whole situation. ****'s going to hit the fan soon.

Snowcrafta · 06-15-2006, 09:11 PM

As I said, only a couple things are open for discussion at this point.

Why did Satoko go nuts and what happened to the hole?

ps lol photographer died again

tsutter · 06-15-2006, 09:23 PM

I dunno, I wouldn't be so quick to judge that the photographer was in her trunk. ****, we can't even say it was an actual body (although I'm rather positive it is).

You raise a good question about the hole though, I never even thought about that.

Snowcrafta · 06-15-2006, 09:38 PM

hay i've seen it two times already, and probably one more time when I get one of my friend to watch 10 and 11 with me again this week :3

They never touched on the photographer dying in this episode, did they?
([edit] Oh him maybe being in her trunk, gotcha)

Well I've got a little bit of a theory.. I don't have the episode at this location to reference, but the woman who picked up Keiichi (forget her name) had a bike in the backseat, probably the photographers. Maybe she killed the photographer and after somehow finding the first hole Keiichi dug, she could have buried him there.

Explains why the hole was gone, and depending on how smart/creepy they make her out to be in episode 12 she could've deduced that Keiichi was going to harm Satoko's uncle and did. Those are my thoughts, kinda scrambled though, 6am and all

derek17719346 · 06-16-2006, 10:11 AM

There is little plot in this series, or an overload of plot, depends on your point of view. I don't like it alot, it's just too...bleh.

Read the thread before posting in it

By the way, Gano, nice pick up on the whole 'Takano could have buried the body in K1's hole'. I didn't even think of that one.

Snowcrafta · 06-24-2006, 07:42 PM

omgwtf

episode 12 is out gogo

Kefit · 06-25-2006, 07:36 PM

I have no idea what happened in this episode. For the first time this series has well and truly stumped me.

Eagerly awaiting episode 13. I've heard that it will be savage.
