Note that it starts a bit slowly - the first episode is composed largely of random comedy nonsense or something. If the start is at all disappointing, at least finish the first four episodes before deciding to drop it... or you will regret it, Phoenix-kun~

A thread is already made on Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni. Miranda made it, I believe. If you scroll down enough you can find it.

 

But anyways, Higurashi is actually my favorite anime. I cringed the first time watching it, but just enjoyed all aspects the second time. Although it's creepy and insane, its quite enjoyable and drags you in for a good fear. Watch it.

 

...But also, watch out for Rena.

Banned? Nobody has every been banned here' date=' Phoenix-kun~

 

What's that you say? Blakie? Who told you about Blakie, Phoenix-kun? Blakie... transferred out.[/i']

 

That's a lie! I know they didn't transfer out. They were sprited away by the demon!

 

 

The show is really good compared to most horror movies made here (which really suck). I'm gonna try to watch the movie soon, if I find it on youtube.

I simply LOVE Higurashi. The blood and the gore... hehe.

 

We all do for those reasons.

 

Don't be absurd. Higurashi's good because of it does suspense so well.

 

(There isn't even that much blood; outside of Meakashi-hen' date=' there's only blood maybe once an arc, and even then it's always handled with a Gory Discretion Shot. Plenty of other anime series - not to mention extremely mainstream live action series like [i']House[/i] and CSI - are much gorier.)

 

Not to mention fan service.

 

Again, not all of us. (Though, again, I can't imagine why someone would watch Higurashi of all things for fanservice.)

Fetish fuel. There's always someone. D:

 

Even then, though, the fanservice is kept completely separate from the suspense and the violence, so I don't see how that applies. (Possible exception: I suppose some people might find something attractive about Watanagashi-hen/Meakashi-hen... o_O Ew.)

No' date=' I don't see fanservice as a reason. And I don't mean offence to a Mod, but I believe that this has like 10 times more blood and gore than most anime.

[/quote']

 

Most anime doesn't have any blood at all, so that's hardly surprising. House and CSI have like 10 times more blood and gore than most live action shows.

 

Not to mention the fact it's X10000 and more dubbed YGO.

 

I haven't a clue what you're trying to say here.

Hahaha! This anime has a great story. Its sequel Umineko no Naku Koro ni is just as good. Which reminds me to ask' date=' dose anyone know if Umineko will get a second season?

[/quote']

 

Barring horrible financial problems, I see no reason why Umineko would not get a second season. The first season adapted the four Umineko no Naku Koro ni games, but there are still four more games, constituting Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru, that need to be adapted.

 

The first season's ending was definitely made with the expectation that it would be followed by another season.

Well, even though I like it Higurashi [i]does [/i]have a problem.

Just one time, Higurashi was nearly cancelled.
[spoiler=Reason...]
Once, a girl who was watching Higurashi got the idea of killing her father who was always angry any annoying. She cut off his head (herself laughing her head off) and then called the police herself, still laughing. She was sent to jail afterwards when she became an adult, and is still inside.

This really happened.
[/spoiler]

For those of you who don't know Higurashi, this is here. Have fun... hehe.

YARLY.

 

The day before the final episode was scheduled to air, a sixteen-year-old girl killed her father with an axe in Kyoto. In response, TV Kanagawa replaced the episode, which was known to contain similarly violent material, with half an hour of scenery and classical music to avoid association with the murder. Other stations airing the anime followed suit, except for AT-X, who remained indecisive at the time.[15] In the following week, 0verflow announced that a screening of the episode would take place in the Tokyo area as part of the release of the series first DVD volume, and would require a copy of either the PC game or Summer Days PC game for admission.[16] However, AT-X announced that they would air the last episode on September 27, 2007, with minor alterations in airing times.[17] The screening of the episode that 0verflow announced showed the uncut version of episode twelve, including the blood color change from black back to red, adding back all sound effects that were removed from the broadcast version, and fewer flashbacks. The uncut version of the episode was included in the DVD release on February 27, 2008.

 

The sudden swap of the last episode to scenery footage led to shock and confusion among the fans. A contributor of the English-speaking 4chan image board posted screenshots of the episode, dryly commenting that the "last episode of School Days is live action" and writing "Nice boat" next to an image of M/S Skagastøl, a Norwegian Fjord1 ferry. The phrase "Nice boat" immediately became an Internet meme and reached massive proportions in Japan, spreading via screenshots of the 4chan thread and a flood of "nice boat" comments on Nico Nico Douga videos of the scenery footage.[18] It ranked tenth in Yahoo! Japan's keyword search ranking for the week of September 17 to September 23, 2007,[19] and appeared as a hidden message in the first episode of the anime Ef: A Tale of Memories.. The phrase was so well-known among fans that 0verflow decided to name its booth "Nice boat" for the Comiket 73 in December 2007, selling "Nice boat" merchandise along with its normal line of specialty items.[20] In the later released "Magical Heart Kokoro-chan" OVA, Magical Kokoro-chan is seen riding in a raft with the name "Nice Boat" written on the side.
