"Higurashi no Naku Koro ni" is an anime, sound novel, and manga which has some violent and very disturbing scenes within the anime. There are currently 2 seasons and I'm pretty sure the 2nd season should come ou shortly.

But what "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni" is though is an anime that centers around a group of kids who live in a time with some crazy beliefs and such. Things get interesting as murders are happening and everyone's trying to find out who the murderer is and such.

Now this anime isn't for everyone, I mean, there's a lot of killing going on in this anime... LOTS of it and on another note if you don't really pay attention then the anime will just be VERY confusing to you. And I mean ZOMG confusing. This anime goes all over the place with the plot, changing everything all the time... well not everything. And that's just to explain all the story Arcs and stuff.

If you don't like killing then I suggest you don't watch this... watch the 1st episode and in the intro you'll see what I mean. But don't get me wrong, the anime isn't always killing and stuff, there ARE very funny parts in here... of course the funny parts AREN'T the killing parts <_< unless you're me... j/k.

Here's the anime description off of AnimeNFO.com.

Description

* Based off a doujin (privately published) game by 07th expansion.

It is the 58th year of Showa and summer is early. It is only June, yet one is able to enjoy the serenade of cicadas at noon and the buzz of higurashi in the evening.

Our story takes place in Hinamizawa Village. It is a small village with a population of less than 2,000, a place cursed by Oyashiro-Sama

Hinamizawa Village Consecutive Unnatural Murders (1979 ~ 1983).

Every year, during the festival of Watanagashi, one person dies and another disappears. It is a cycle of death which started with a fight over the construction plans for a dam. That incident was covered up by the police and has now come back to haunt the village.

Is all this due to a plot or a coincidence... or a curse?

Is this tragedy inevitable? Is there nothing you can do but accept it?


So, on with a different question, anyone seen this anime? Cause I've seen the 1st season, I actually have it, and am currently watching the 2nd season.

[wålf-kun]

yeah, I've seen it. I think it's quite good, but a little bloody and disturbing, I guess (that doesn't really bother me, though). More of a problem with the kind of strange/confusing story, I recall... Some fun scenes and episodes, though, so it's pretty good over all. Might be worth a re-watch to catch the entire story... Never seen the second season, but I might consider it...

I also believe it already exists an Higurashi thread: Higurashi no Naku Koro ni

[!]

Yeah, old news as well, and like wolf says, there are already threads about this. Momo should close it
