Baby WELCOME TO THE PARTY

[@leo.kasper]

I've heard a lot of people saying that Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni is not horror, or that it did not scare them; even calling the anime "soft" or "weak". I only want to say that horror is not jumpscares or multiple rape. This is psychological, progressive, it tries to enter in your mind and confuse you, how do you know that you're not living inside of a loop but you're unable to remember when you die or who kills you? nonsense gore and violence is not horror, and those elements don't make an anime or a movie "better" than others that don't have it, it's about everyone's point of view, but man, this anime is amazing and disturbing, either you like it or not. You can't change things just by not believing in them

[@lepazziedijon2254]

I agree with ya. Higurashi is scary for its psycological plots and moments.

[@TheUberVideo]

Just because you aren't scared, doesn't mean it's not horror. Same as for comedy: It's still comedy if you didn't laugh at all. Higurashi is a real masterpiece.

This is one of those multi-faced songs that evokes different feelings from the listener every time he/she listens to it. What is the song expressing: Sadness? Serenity? Lament? Longing? Fear? It could be interpreted as any of those, and that's what makes this song amazing.

[@jottXD]

Renji Mao What I feel, hearing this song is sadness, lament and longing When I hear this song, I think about Rika, not being able to achieve her goal, to either live a happy life with her friends, or to finally die, as she has to suffer her death and that of her friends for hundreds of years.

What makes this anime so disturbingly good is the lack of gore and the emphasis on psychological horror: repetition of the the process of death and suffering. Every time the characters die and the antagonists win, the empty feeling is so excruciating. The process then repeats itself. One of the best murder mystery anime I’ve seen. And this theme doesn’t creep me out; it actually makes me feel sad. But it’s a beautiful kind of sadness.

I guess that section was anime-only, but I think it was an amazing addition, and it sits with me even 15 years later.

Mr. Gentleman erogedownload.com/downloads/ here you can download it. (at h for higurashi) but don't forget to patch it cuz it will increase your reading experience like at least 200%. (if you wanna know just ask I'll explain you why the patches are absolutely important for everyone who wants to read it) higurashifix.wikia.com/wiki/Tweaking_Higurashi_Wiki You'll need to download for each of the releases the specific patches for it from tweaking higurashi wiki.(link above) That's gonna be: -graphics + sprite patch, t -the original music -the second original sound patch (second version or otherwise you'll have to delete all the wa_ files in the folder which give you an error. so choose the stable second sound patch. Optional (but I'd recommend it still) -font patch for better reading -and the translation patch for the chapter 1-4 bundle Sounds complicated, but it really isn't. You'll find that all in these both links. you can simply extract the patches from tweaking higurashi wiki into the main folder of your higurashi thing and when there are already similar files in the folder just replace them with the ones from the patch. And then you're done and you can have an absolutely amazing reading experience - one that will probably even surprise those who already watched the higurashi anime. If you have any questions (regarding game, installation or whatever feel free to ask)

I was so amazed. There is so much more than just gore. It's love, friendship and touching and deep stories. And it acutally makes sense. And how they all are connected together in a special way only fate can choose... How everyone helps each other in the end. How they just... Just...

Sad

[@whensomethingcriesagain]

It's a lot worse than that. Every reset is actually a separate world, and every single world has to continue on. Rena was the first one to actually survive past the Disaster, so her wish was to turn back the clock to 1983 because she rather have died with all her friends than lived on alone.

fuhh.... im currently watching the remake (?) and a modified version of this theme was used towards the end of ep8.... chills swooped my neck. A mix of dread and happiness swept when they played this theme in the new one.

Feel bad for people who missed out on this creepy masterpiece

Помню, давно-давно услышал эту мелодию, и она зацепила меня. В итоге я после потерял её, иногда отрывками вспоминая, и не зная, как найти. Но в итоге я смотрел одно видео, и на фоне играла эта мелодия. И боже, благодарен я автору, который вставил эту мелодию на фон! Наконец-то я её нашел!

I watched this series twice, one when I was a little 11-year-old, and the other was 10 years later. I still remember my visceral reactions to the show, I knew there was so much more going on than just the story but I didn't quite grasp it. It wasn't until my second viewing but I saw just how... relatable all these "crazy" moe anime characters where, and how their personal struggles along with their environment, harbors their descent into madness. I remember how amazed I was at how this show made me feel bad and empathise with it's main antagonist, and how in the end, nobody hated her, they just pitied her. Such an amazing show, I'm so happy that my edgy 11-year-old self found this because of how gory it was, because after the first Arc I realized that it was much more than just cute anime kids killing each other.

[@Mystic_Shiki]

I love Higurashi ❤️

[@SARIKA_584]

When ever I hear OST 💀 I get chill and frozen Higurashi is one of Best anime ever watched ❤

[@DarthMorhan]

such a masterpiece for a masterpiece of a show

[@Or6nger]

Oh damn, I've heard this theme so many times and didn't even know what it is! To find it was so easy...

[@OneAvidGamer]

I love this so much, it's like a lullaby for me. Epic song from an epic anime.

[@Shantyenjoyer]

+OneAvidGamer If you are interested in more you should read the Visual Novel. It´s way better then the Anime, i heard... hehe.

[@OneAvidGamer]

@@Shantyenjoyer Lol I have since read the entire manga, and it did NOT dissapoint haha! So good! Apparently they are working on a remake/ extension of the series or something. And not the crappy quasi sequel spin off show whos name escape me for the moment, but like the actual main show :D

Rip Pop Smoke, ur best sample

[@soka7070]

А я все думаю, что же за знакомая мелодия. Так это же та мелодия из детства, где на ее фоне рассказывали страшные истории про проклятых кукол и мертвых людей. Она стала моей песней детства, жаль конечно, что не посмотрела тогда аниме, мой дядя больше любил драму и романтику про школьную любовь чем ужасы,а он был моим единственным источником аниме. Может стоит все же посмотреть это аниме, хотя бы как дань уважение этой мелодии.

[@krutoi_2007]

да, ахуенное аниме

[@logsar9937]

пересмотри если хочешь

just found out this is what pop smoke sampled, good taste.

My favourite Higurashi music, I am almost crying listening to this, ahhh... The Nostalgia. ♥

[@kevinnham4066]

Also came here from Fate/Stay Night 2006 anime which is also animated by Studio DEEN that animated Higurashi. It even tops off as the composer is Kenji Kawai, his take on the Emiya theme and Night Of Fate is one memorable score he landed!

[@ItsRanRanTime]

This song always means something traumatizing is getting ready to happen..or Rika's talking about something long and complicated.

There’s a lot of horror anime themes out there, but I think this one tops them all or if not is in the top 5

[@baboon_baboon_baboon]

This is one of those anime that actually provides a unique feeling that really works with the anime art style unlike many anime that just take the art and put on top some generic plot.
