I like alternating postures and psychological dualities in Higurashi, but Satoko's perspective has outgrown much of what has already been brought up. Her personality having a little change, experiencing everything that Rika lived, was a great narrative to follow the story forward. Satoko has never been so prominent before, and I loved it. The cases always involved Rena, Shion, Keichi and Mion as the biggest protagonists and cursed. It is not common, nor usual to see Satoko being a scary character in Higurashi. When Eua offers part of its powers to Satoko, it uses it to normalize the problems that Rika leaving Hinamizawa would leave forever marked in these infinite fragments. It seemed that she was the villain of the series, and in fact, she comes to be. It was a promising entry from a different Satoko. She did in fact become a fundamental piece for Rika during the final events, but I was sad to see that she apparently had a not very good and even melancholy fate.Īnd how can we not mention the masterpiece that was episode 16? Among all that we've seen, this moment was much more exciting and cathartic than anything we've seen before. Speaking of Hanyuu, she finally had more explanations regarding her limits as an entity that personifies Oyashiro-Sama. I don't say it was bad, since the outcome was purposely focused on Rika, Satoko and Hanyuu. Keichi, on the other hand, became the protagonist of the entire first half, but again presented some construction flaws with the show in the sequence. Rena again became the "yandere" character of the show, maintaining many climaxes and iconic moments, especially in Onidamashi. My favorite Shion (even Higurashi Gou), was practically nonexistent in the entire show. It is not the same impression of character development that they had, compared to the old anime. Rena, Shion, Mion and Keichi are the ones that were most "forgotten" during the second part of the anime. He brought a continuation with material shortened by the Ryukishi07 series limits and transcended the limits for something big. It is difficult to say and explain all the points and relevance of Eua without mentioning Umineko (another series in the When They Cry franchise), so much so that it is understandable to see people disgusted by this introduction of a sudden character, but I must say that it was a great choice of scriptwriter for this fourth season. But look at how we are doing: Oishi has gone mad in Tataridamashi and Satoko finds Eua, an entity, like our dear Hanyuu, who also has creative powers from other worlds. In most cases, they were more like a character group that is only important to be quoted or used specifically in some episodes. Interesting characters, like Oishi and Satoko, were not fully utilized. You know, I had some problems with the first two seasons. Yes, now we have a situation where Satoko knows more than the viewers themselves and even Rika herself. "But, wait, what? What's going on with Satoko ?". It is incredible this change of perspective, in which Rika goes from being a simple and not very important character, to the protagonist of every anime. Obviously, we don't know how the end of this world was, since she herself doesn't have all the memories herself (even Hanyuu offering everything she has in Nekodamashi). I must admit that this reference to Higurashi Kai may seem confusing at first, but it managed to bring up a new hypothesis: what if she leaves Hinamizawa, after a happy ending in 1983? Well, that's what happened. It was definitely surprising how the first half of behaved positively as being a sequel, after all, Rika is already tired. Of course, the first thirteen episodes brought many impactful scenes and managed to recreate iconic moments (like Rena's "USODA !!"). To begin with, it is visible the work and the high effort of Passione studio and the director, Keiichirou Kawaguchi, in making episodes without any reference to games and bows different from what we already knew before. "14 years have passed since the original broadcast, will they still like the anime?", That question has bothered me since the first of October, but today I can finally understand who liked it and who hated it, after all, it is not common in the days of today having an anime like this. order to create two more cours for the show. Now, in 2020/1, Higurashi Gou is broadcast and a new information clash is used in Higurashi Rei is shorter, only 5 episodes, serving as a sequel after Kai. Higurashi Kai softens and resolves the disruption and brings a great ending to the entire series. In the first season, we saw crazy, disturbing scenes and a shocking story. Higurashi no Naku koro ni returned in 2020, with a surreal season. "Oh Rika, I told you to pick one, didn't?" ~ Satoko HoujouĢ4 episodes, a dream: to continue a franchise of almost 20 years at the height of visual novels and anime.
