They are developed but at the same time, I could barely tell you anything about anyone since they all have such vast personality differences. The characters however are just not all that interesting.


The characters obviously change a lot during this which is expected and it changes all the time and that is easy to follow. General the soundtrack is pretty well done. The ED of the first part was really good I will say. The sound is pretty good too if not sometimes annoying with Rika's catchphrase making me want to skip it every time I hear it. The art I give credit to being a modern take on the old style and is nicely done and crisp throughout the most part of it. The final episode was good, I guess? It leads to further showing from July 2021 which is expected with how it ended but also a bit like why? It is just dull and dragged out. The first sequence was really interesting and well done and then from there it just went further downhill with more dragging out stories much longer than they needed to be. Honestly, though I just cannot fathom the hype with the show in the first place, it just sucks with how dragged out it is and how silly and convenient many things are. I took it as something on its own or as a new season in a newer format or whatever. Honestly, this isn't bad for me because I had the wrong mindset of thinking it is a remake I did not. People will run and defend this show like the last stand in a war but is it really worth it this time around?
UMINEKO WHEN THEY CRY PS3 SPRITES APPLY UPGRADE
May upgrade to a 9 if it sticks the landing. Of course, if you saw and enjoyed Higurashi and Higurashi Kai, this show is a must for you.Ĩ/10 so far. That said, as a mystery, Gou still has the excellent levels of polish and intrigue that I've come to expect from the author. This is fine if you go into it expecting a mystery, but I feel like many people, newcomers especially, went into the show expecting horror. More of the run time is dedicated to asking questions than exploring or exploiting the paranoia of its characters. While Gou does attempt to capture some of the horror of its first season, the structure and characterization clearly leans more towards the Mystery/Thriller tone of the second season. Kai, on the other hand, is a Mystery/Thriller story that uses the original as an argument for WHY you should be worried for the characters-the horror is largely abandoned in favor of identifying the culprit and surviving the scenario. Mystery brewing in the background that doesn't really come to the forefront until the end. For those of you who have forgotten or have not seen the original, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni is largely a Horror/Suspense show with a As a result, this affects not just the content of the story, but the tone. Higurashi Gou at first looks like a remake, but it becomes apparent by the end of the first episode that something's off, and by the second that it's a sequel to the events of Kai. The show to compare this to is not Higurashi, but Higurashi Kai. If I was asked to compare this to the original Higurashi, I'd smack the person asking across the face.
