That's because I'm gonna become much much more happy from now on. I'm not gonna compromise with just this. We are gonna take back all of our happiness that we lost. For me, that's about a hundred year's worth. For you, a thousand year's worth. - Frederica Bernkastel I'll give you the fighting; Umineko is better with it because it's a part of the story early on (in the VN, the Umineko anime is a trainwreck in almost every way, and I never got much into it from both what I saw and what I've heard from others), but it's something added late in Higurashi, and it's obviously out of place. However, I believe Higurashi's ending was thematically appropriate. Higurashi's theme was friendship. Every time a fragment came to tragedy, it's because of lack of faith and trust between friends, like Keichi's mistrust of his friends in the first arc, or the lack of understanding in the Shion Murders Everyone arc. The better ones, like the aliens arc and the second to last arc came about due to the group's friendship. The final arc, where the bonds between the group is the greatest, is where despite all of the hardships that are thrown at them, in contrast to the other arcs where everyone (or almost everyone) dies, they all manage to survive. Sure, you expect someone to die, for it to fail somehow, but that's the beauty of it: after one hundred years of tragedy, a miracle finally occurs and, for once, everybody lives. I feel that it would have been a cop out for Ryukishi to kill off someone at the last minute because it wouldn't serve a narrative purpose. Instead, after nine hundered and ninety nine worlds of despair, Rika finally grasps hope, and a world of joy is finally created. Of course, if you want something a little more bittersweet out of Higurashi, the Dice Killing Chapter can give you that, arguably. And Umineko has despair to de-spare.

It is terrifying when you watch this in the dark. Especially if you finish the Cotton Drifting arc at 1:30 AM while watching in bed on your laptop. You are terrified to go to sleep because you are expecting Shion to pop out from under your bed wearing a kimono and start nailing the joints in your fingers to the mattress. Actually, my first exposure to Higurashi was the manga. That was how I finished up the Watanagashi arc, and I did not see it coming because I thought I was reading a moe slice of life based on the art style. I have to say, while the anime is incredible in every way, I think the manga was more frightening. But yeah, Higurashi in the dark is freaky.

+Joseph Gatts Yeah, I recently rewatched the first arc in the dark. It is unbearably terrifying. I love it. Unfortunately, I don't have a proper lighting system so I can't watch it, or for that matter, any series in the dark. I'd love to LP a horror game without lights, but... yeah.... not happening. Though it is always dark outside, so... that kind of works. I haven't actually yet, gone through any of the other material completely, I checked out the manga and the VN, but I want to do something with them. Safe to say, they are great for similiar reasons that the anime is great. Agreed. Freaky and disturbing.

During the Scene with Hayuu ¨acting¨ as a god and Keiichi acting as a tortured yamainu, on the game the other Yamainuu start to halucinate about fog, a river, dead people walking and other things like that, Hanyuu can really do that to others. Takano is a Marksman so the possibility of failing that shot are almost null wich leave us to one of the powers of Hanyuu and the ability to stop time momentarilly. There is an alternate ending on one of the PS2 versions where Hanyuu is indeed hit by the bullet, also at the end Satoshi gets better and returns with them... by far it is more emotional and interesting final if you ask me. At the end we met Frederika Bernkastel, who is he and why she did that? i will tella ya later that. If you gonna continue, Rei is next, i wuold recommend skipping kira. Higurashi Kaku (outbreak) is cool again but is not finished, the next expisode of the ovas have not come out since 2013, hoping they anounce something in 2016. There is also Umineko no naku koro ni, and the sound novels, if you need them i can obtain the download links, also here is a dir (higurashiblog.wordpress.com) for some of the console exclusive arcs and the manga ones just tell me and i´ll pass directions to read them Really enjoyed your reactions, great job mate :D

+Joe Habana Yeah, I actually really like how Hanyuu is actually the only supernatural element in the series, and even then, her powers merely play a minor part(aside from resurrecting Rika that is). It is quite interesting. The show ended with some questions, but, as with all good shows, not too many to leave us confused. I think I'll continue the series later, probably Rei will be only 1 video long. VNs(and sound novels by extension) are an interesting medium, as I really would enjoy doing an LP out of them, but... it feels strange to just read a book to the video, so I am trying to figure out the correct formula to make something entertaining about them. Still, I would like those links, as I'll definetly atleast play through them on my own at somepoint. Thank you so much! It has been a very interesting journey and on retrospect, very enjoyable.

+Ganmue Yes! I love that everything was explained through humans and they kept the supernatural to a minimum when it came to the actual mystery. If you especially love that confusion between 'is there supernatural stuff going on or if there's a human', you would love Umineko since it centers around that. Umineko has voice acting, so you would only have to read inner dialogue..or just read it to yourself like you would subtitles and just watch..Not sure what you think is better but there's someone doing a LP of higurashi which is amazing, and he reads absolutely nothing just commentates and says his thoughts. It's just an idea :) But you absolutely haveee to record it hahaha XD We are all Umineko hungry :D

I feel like with over 100 years worth of bad endings for Rika and her friends, the series needed at least a situation where things turned out as good as possible, and a miracle occured. But I am also a tragic type of ending person, especially with horrors. Although I would have liked a arc where more than one person goes insane c; hahaha that would be chaotic. Also, it's hard to notice, but you can see Satoshi Crying, when he hears Shion talk about how much she cares for him, which is a nice touch. The last end scene is particularly interesting. On to the next series i suppose XD

+NomNomIEatChu Yeah, since they have struggled for so hard, it makes sense for them to finally win. It was also the point that they would not lose anybody, not even the antagonists. So... it's kind of a deserved happy ending I think.

+Ganmue I think it needed a happy ending, because that was Rika's goal. For the series to properly end, everyone needed to survive. Otherwise all that pain and struggle would have been a waste of time and would have meant she failed her mission. I also think it would have left the watcher with an unsatisfied feeling. I would've hated the fact that one of the characters I had grown to love died after all that. I think the point is that no one in that show (to the viewer and the actual characters) is absolutely irreplaceable and would be tragic.

Huh, well that was interesting. Hanyuu was the one who brought Rika back through time all that time, hm? It sure is an interesting world, where there are parasites making people go insane, as well as a literal god (The Shinto kind). Either way, I guess the story wrapped up pretty much everything. I can safely say I enjoyed the series a lot more than when I watched it as a kid. I wasn't really bothered about the gore and whatnot back then, but it was enough to distract me from the true plot going on, and as a result I stopped watching after the first season. I do understand where you were coming from when you said the ending didn't feel like Higurashi, but at the same time there's the satisfaction of them beating "Oyashiro-sama's curse". They'd all lost countless times, over and over and over and over again, and for once they were completely victorious. I think that, if they were to end it in any way, it is a decent one. Otherwise the ending would just be another one like the first season's ending, with Rika once again reliving everything. I wonder if the OVAs are just extra stories, or actually take place post-Kai. Would be rather strange if they were sequels. :P I'm relatively satisfied with this ending, so I'ma add Kai to my myanimelist and leave it at that.

in the matsuribayashi hen game there is a part where you need to conect the pieces for all the story. i mean like the splanation for all watanagashi tragedies. first year : one of the man working on the dam construction develops L5 and atack the others so the others kill this man and another develops L5 (the one that said to the others to cut the body in parts) second year: satoko develop L5 and thinks her parents want to kill her so she trow her parents from that clif (well it was satokos mother and step father) . IRIE with takanos help make this looks like and accident.

I highly recommend that you read the Sound Novel of Higurashi, it is WAY BETTER than the anime, which leaves behind a huge amount of elements compared to the novel. The anime is too rushed, while the novel is a lot more captivating, emotional, profound and detailed, an amazing mistery game and story above all, with a few gameplay towards the end. It's not a bad idea to do a blind let's play of it, actually.

If i could offer any advice for this series is to treat it like avatar and make custom thumbnails for it. Also, It may help boost views if you put in the thumbnail or title something like "commentary and thoughts". Some people just like to hear reviews and arent interested in the reaction portion, but i think your videos provide the reaction part along with something worth while like your opinions at the end. Your actually adding something to the video than just staring at a video and making a few jokes or grunts. So keep up with the pausing and giving brief thoughts in between, as that gives your videos character. Also, it may help if you update your channel and provide in the description, or make a video, describing why you are different from other reactions. In that you provide first time reactions along with your immediate thoughts. Your videos show the evolution of your opinions on a show, and for those who dont want to watch the whole reaction videos, you can point them to your season reviews (which should also have thumbnails) or you could post an annotation in each video that takes them immediately to your episode thoughts. This way, people who may not find your commentary interesting can at least get to the meat and hopefully respond. Hope this helped in some regard.

+KirbySonicTeam Yeah, for some reason, I decided not to make the thumbnails for this series. I might eventually add them though, as it doesn't take that much time. I'll have to think about adding the "thoughts" part into atleast the thumbnail. Good suggestion though, greatly appreciated. Oooh, those are some excellent ideas, I did not even think about them. I really appreciate those suggestion so... I think there'll be a lot of post production editing now for me. Atleast for the descriptions and such. Thank you so much, those are excellent ideas!
