God-Entertaining Chapter

The Higurashi: When They Cry (higurashinonakuQing niJie, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Sotsu in Japanese) is a dojin soft visual novel series created by 07th Expansion. It aired on July 6 to December 17, 2007 on various television networks in Japan. It was followed by a second season entitled Higurashi: When They Cry - Kai.

The main storyline follows a group of college students in a rural village named Hinamizawa. They encounter strange occurrences that lead to their untimely demise. It is a harrowing tale of the human spirit and its quest for self-preservation. The storyline is bolstered by the addition of several supporting characters.

Among the most important characters is Rika Furude, an average Joe who finds herself in a situation that could have been avoided had she just made a few more smart choices. She is accompanied by her bumbling sidekick, Eua, and their respective partners in crime, Hanyuu and Satoko. The best way to describe their personalities is as a cross between a cocky young boy and a depressed middle-aged woman. The show also makes use of a plethora of cool gadgets, gizmos and baubles.

Part 4

A small town in the Japanese countryside is caught up in a series of mysterious disappearances on the night of Watanagashi, the Cotton Drifting Festival. It is believed that the deaths are caused by a curse that has ensnared Hinamizawa since its founding.

The village of Hinamizawa is a place where everyone knows each other by name and lives peacefully together. Until Keiichi Maebara arrives, a hotheaded teenager who brings a sense of excitement to the small village. He tries to investigate the series of strange disappearances and soon finds himself immersed in a dark and twisted mystery that leaves him on edge for the rest of his life.

Finale

It is an extremely mature show steeped in mystery. It is split into a series of mini arcs, each consisting of four episodes, and the story continually changes dramatically throughout its run.

Each arc is told from a different perspective, with the majority of the action taking place at night and in confined spaces, such as a bedroom. Despite this, the anime often manages to capture the feeling of a full-blown horror film.

This is especially true for the third arc, GOU, which is the most intense of all of the series. The plot is layered with a complex and tense set of events, which make the show an absolute must-watch for fans of horror.

The final arc, Sotsu, ends the story on an emotional note, but also with a sense of closure. While the story is still a bit messy, it leaves the characters with a happy ending. Hopefully, the anime will be back in the future to wrap up all of the loose ends and leave the world of Hinamizawa in peace.
