Each experiment you run (arc you see) reveals a few more clues, and you formulate a new theory, only to find it shattered by another totally unexpected horror in the very same arc. The series will leave you guessing, postulating all manner of reasons why the sweetest girl in the class is now butchering every child in sight with a giant cleaver. The true draw of Higurashi is the mystery. for they want to know exact *why* everything goes wrong (though they can also cackle madly just a little). The maglomanics who cackle madly in seeing a happy community descend into the depth of oblivion, and the curious scientist who watched each arc with intense interest. Higurashi would appeal to two types of people. You know terrible things are going to happen, but you don't know exactly what. The pacing is excellent, the suspence pulpable. A teenager moves into a remote countryside village, and befriends a group of sweet fangirls that could have come out right from a harem rom/com. itself into several arcs, each of which begin exactly the same. Higurashi essentially places you in the role of the scientist. But hey, at least each time they die, you're one step closer to figuring out why they died, it's all good. and so you repeat the experiment, knowing full well that those cute looking teenagers you just sent are going to end up as bloody pulps. Its horrific, its shocking, and yet a part of you, cannot help but wonder, how did it happen?
Watching Higurshi is like locking a group of happy people in a test chamber, only coming back to find they've hacked each other into a bloody mess. When madness and paranoia begin taking root in Keiichi's heart, he will stumble straight into the mysteries at work in Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, a story that is told across multiple arcs. As more and more bizarre events occur, he wonders just what else his friends might be keeping from him, and if he can even trust them at all. Keiichi tries to ask his new friends about these incidents, but they are suspiciously silent and refuse to give him the answers he needs. To his horror, he discovers that there have been several murders and disappearances in the village in the recent years, and that they all seem to be connected to the festival and the village's patron god, Oyashiro.
However, darkness lurks underneath the seemingly idyllic life they lead.Īs the village prepares for its annual festival, Keiichi learns about the local legends surrounding it. Keiichi Maebara has just moved to the quiet little village of Hinamizawa in the summer of 1983, and quickly becomes inseparable friends with schoolmates Rena Ryuuguu, Mion Sonozaki, Satoko Houjou, and Rika Furude.
