@musiclover19982012 what do u mean your not a sadistic killer? sorry for my lack of knowing but im only 13 and i dont think i should watch this but ITS A FREE COUNRTY SO WHO GIVES A $H!+?
@fruitbaset Well, whenever people die in this show, they are alive in the next show usually because this always shows how the whole thing could've panned out a different way. And the cycle just keeps repeating and repeating.
The main character, Keiichi Maebara, moves to Hinamizawa and befriends his new classmates Rena Ryugu, Mion Sonozaki, Rika Furude, and Satoko Houjou. Keiichi joins their after-school club activities, which consist mostly of card and board games (and punishment games for the loser, usually him.) Hinamizawa appears to be a normal, peaceful, rural village to Keiichi.
@musiclover19982012 However, the tranquility abruptly ends after the annual Watanagashi Festival, a celebration to commemorate and give thanks to the local god, Oyashiro. Keiichi learns that every year for the past four years, one person has been murdered and another has gone missing on the day of the Watanagashi Festival. Keiichi himself soon becomes drawn into the strange events surrounding the Watanagashi Festival and Oyashiro.
@musiclover19982012 In each story arc, he or one of his friends become paranoid, and a crime is committed. Usually, the crime involves the murder of one of their own friends. While it seems impossible to tell their delusions apart from the mystery of Hinamizawa, slowly the truth is revealed.
why does the plot keep changing in this show?!?! does it have somthing to do with rika dieing? because i know when she dies she goes to a new world. but seriously, wtf is going on?!?!!?
erm, they relive the festival and there is a new victim for each. There is a few questions and an answer in season one, but more in season two i believe. i really should be doing homework, but....what the hell....
WAIT A MINUTE WTF? I JUST SAW AN EPISODE WHERE HE DIED AND NOW HES ALIVE AGAIN ?!?!? did they just reset the story or was this before or wth? plz explain O_o
lol i thought i wasnt watching the first chapter but i guess i was...i looked it up but if im not plz tell me...if there was only four episodes in spirited away by the demon chapter i hope this is the 2nd chapter
omg this would make such a good NORMAL HAREM ANIME instead they made it look like such a fun anime and then they FCK IT UP with all this blood and chopping and meat cleavers o_O
I'm lost. Didn't the twin die at the begining of the episode? Also, from now on, I'm watching this channel over others for dubs. other channels keep misplacing the episodes!!! GRRR....
I was really confused myself, but this is story arc #2: I think this show is divided into 4 arcs that have a general underlying storyline or something that ties them all together
Heh....I'm probably one of the few people who would make this analogy....but Rika's voice is the exact same as Sugar from Cute Little Snow Fairy Sugar.
@nightfury23 I thought the same thing lmao, but there are several arcs in season 1, there's like 3 arcs that leave questions and hint's, and 2 arcs leave answers to those questions. Watch all of season 1, and then watch all of season 2, then you'll understand it. This entire series is like psychological horror mystery.
@Vocotaku nope, it's based on a labrynth. If you've watched an anime series called Gantz they explain about a book called Labrynth (it's a real book) it's about living in a maze and they can't get out, it's sorta like that. You'll need to watch ALL of this season, and the 2nd season, in order to understand any of this. Just be patient, I don't want to ruin the series or anything with a spoiler.
@kendoan2 PLEASE DON'T SPOIL IT!!!!!!!!!!! I SCROLL DOWN TO THE COMMENTS ALOT AND I DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED!!!!!!! PLUS THIS ANIME IS REALLY GOOD DO NOT SPOIL IT!!!!!!!!!!!! NO MATTER WHAT!
@ShadeWolf09 26 episodes in season 1 and 26 episodes in season 2, 6 episodes in season 3 but the season 3 episodes don't have anything to do with the first two seasons at all. Basically season 3 is just a continuance of what their live's would be like after they all live passed the time of the cotton drifting festival.
4 anyone whos wondering "y isnt he died" because u watched the first 4 episodes b4 this these next couple of episodes are story archs and there are alot that dont have anything to do with the others
When I went to Wal-Mart, a blue-haired teenager tapped me on the shoulder and asked where the kitchen knives were. I screamed, pushed her down and stumbled backward, knocking down half of a shelf of Ragu. I apologized and explained to the woman why I freaked out, and she replied,"Yea, when I was finished with the season looked in the mirror and scared myself." This show is pure excellence!
@escasheep97 Not really, the story changes every few episodes, not by a certain charecter's point of view, but by a completely different thing goin' on...Get it? :\
Higurashi. It's a show about happiness, friendship, comedy, love, fun, games, conspiracy, murder, psychological horror, and sticking to who you truly are. Or something.
Okay look here every so often a new arc happens and this world and people in it are not related to the last arc. Think of it like hitting the refresh button for a different outcome.
This anime, originally called "When the Ciceda's Cry" shortened to "When they Cry" is a unique anime in which the story resets every couple episodes. If you watched it somewhere else, they usually label the arcs, and the arcs are almost always unrelated.
But, there is a twist. One larger than ever thought before. For the series as a whole.
Anyway, thumbs this up so people know why the story "resets".
@XDomeMan Not sure, really. Some plots do that. As a matter of fact, I remember Æon Flux, the animation, not the movie, resetting after every episode. Some of the time, she would actually die, and it was a bit of a weird one. Some shows or anime do this, but most don't because they're not always popular.
Higurashi is popular because of the horror factor of it, as well as the psychological thriller.
@nadaci901 It's easier if you just watch it yourself, but I think part of the reason is in Japan, new anime come out every season, and only a few continue, whereas in America, we run very long anime series and rarely get new anime. Higurashi is a balance between the two, where its the same characters and settings with a different plot every couple episodes. Plus it's a popular theme in Japan.. Resetting things, I suppose.
@DefensorsPacis Oh, that would make sense. I read on wikipedia that one channel stopped airing it after episode 13, and thats how long elfen lied was too. Now I get why there are so many short anime series.
@billjonson123 But, that's all there is to explain, really. It's a horror/mystery anime with multiple arcs and endings, and then the plot resets, and a new arc happens. It used to be something commonplace, and a lot of anime still do it. Take Amagami SS(Still running) for example. It's arcs that last 4 episodes each, each with their own plot but in the same setting.
@jddeitz2000 I personally don't give two shits what you think about me, but the point is, I only tried to help people and you bitch and complain. You're no worse than me, just another one of the people that talk shit about people that get thumbs up.
I'm not fishing for them, either way, I'm just trying to help people as I said before, and if it's right there it's a ton more helpful than someone just quoting a line from the video.

@DefensorsPacis The story resets every time Rika chan is killed so if you watch the second season and ova you will know how it happens...

@jddeitz2000 I personally don't give two shits what you think about me, but the point is, I only tried to help people and you bitch and complain. You're no worse than me, just another one of the people that talk shit about people that get thumbs up.
I'm not fishing for them, either way, I'm just trying to help people as I said before, and if it's right there it's a ton more helpful than someone just quoting a line from the video.
Fuck off.

Did they just restart the story differently or something? I thought Keiichi got "transferred..."

Okay how can she be a YOUNGER twin sister if she's younger?

@RaspberryChanX3 Twins sometimes do that. The last born will be called the younger twin.
