Marisa Kirisame-ze Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 That's right~ I started the thread about the pyscho horror anime that we all love ;D It's seems to be the highlight of anime talk between the people I know in real life, so I decided to let that discussion be a part of the YCM life. If you don't know what Higurashi is, please look it up and explain your thoughts on the images and description it gives. Sounds pleasent, doesn't it? And although it's not as gore as Elfen Lied, it is much more creepy. Let's discuss the wonders of Higurashi~ FACEBOOK STATUS:"I'm watching Higurashi for the second time. Nothing beats watching a pyschopathic horror anime on a beautiful Saturday ;D" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Unclean One: VK Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 ONE OF THE BEST ANIME THERE IS!!!! Ahem. Anyhow, it creeped me out when I first watched it, gave me nightmares, and made me hungry for more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marly Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 I decided to look it up~ I watched the first episode, and really, I didn't think it was that bad, gore-wise, anyway. The story really kept my interest, and the quality of the animation was great. But just for kicks, I decided to Google image it, see how bad the gore gets, out of curiosity. Needless to say, it wasn't one of my better ideas. xD I'll be sure to keep watching it, though. I've become hooked on the series already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marisa Kirisame-ze Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Do you guys agree that it's creepier and more gore then Elfen Lied? I'm currently in an argument with a friend about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 I haven't seen Elfen Lied, but I will say this: I think people tend to overstate the amount of gore in Higurashi. The show is far more based on suspense than anything else. Murder only occurs once every four episodes at most, and when it does, it tends to be seen through a Gory Discretion Shot - we just see the shadows on the wall, or a shot of the nearby floor that suddenly has a red splatter on it. The biggest exception, obviously, is Meakashi-hen - but then after that, murder becomes absurdly rare, happening maybe three more times throughout all of Kai. So, without having seen Elfen Lied, I will guess that Elfen Lied is more gory and Higurashi is more creepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wuu. Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Despite the cute animations you could still feel the horror tensing around. This promises to be a seriously good anime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that(especially in the manga) the gore and nudity becomes less often however the beginning of the series is very bloody.(the entire episode 1, festival scenes, flashbacks, train scene, the beach, etc..) Of course no matter how much gore an anime/manga has, it will never surpass Gantz because the creator just loves drawing the characters dying in the worst possible way in every chapter >.>. @Notorious, oh it is. No doubt about that. If you love horror/suspense. You'll love it. Also based from alot of manga/animes I'm reading, I'm waiting for that day until "Hopelessness" becomes a genre.

Exactly what I did, and all that really happened was that I couldn't eat regularly for four days. Whenever I would eat, even just plain rice, it would all give me a stomach ache. Prolly cause I'm so sickened from everything, rather then scared. Same thing with School Days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
