  • the "whem i´m bored" video is stalking me...

  • great show it didnt even have romance and it was still sooo interesting and addicting

  • Ya know, I love this show, but the second season was just so... not exciting, lol. I only made it to episode 5 or something on the second season (cuz it's all explanation I guess). So I guess I'll never know what was going on, lol

  • @GamesOplenty I agree, but it explains everything so I think it worths watchin. I don't recommend anything that is afterward though...

  • @GamesOplenty honestly, the second season makes the whole series look like crap. The first season is scary and the second season gives way too much of a logical outlook. I thought the 'truth' would have been more scary :( and wtf Oyashiro..just no...i thought "HE" was a scary god not a little girl who can't do anything -_-

  • Where can I find this anime first season to watch on my iPod ?

  • @MrSasukeswifey I know that they have it on Amazon Instant Video. What you can do is buy and download it from there, open it in Itunes or something and put it on your Ipod. Hope that helps. :)

  • @MrSasukeswifey use converter... -.-

  • @MrSasukeswifey you look up on youtube by the name when they cry

  • i love this anime

  • my friend showd me this anime. When I watched it Iran to my closet and slamed the door shut. She was laughing but I wasnt so the next day at school I came all scary I didnt get any sleep at night thinking they were going to get me. And when I saw my friend I told her that they were coming for u and then I laughed evily. Weird O_o

  • just finished this series, so disturbing yet awesome, now on to Kai 

  • Still sends chills down my spine.

  • Ok can someone help me out here

    when Kiichi die's 3 times in the 1st 3 ep's it was another world dark and good right?

    it's so compacted it hurts my brain :S

    but the girl with the blue hair she's the curse?

    if that is so everything from the Killer's and the different outcomes

    it was all her right

    Kiichi never died and nothing really 100% happened but the school set with bombs were and all the missing people really did happened

  • @pepkid no you see the little blue haired girl is trying to stop the outcome because there is no curse it is all a virus but everytime the girl dies time resets and she tries to right what happened

  • @olegplottrot

    I understand thank you...

  • I haven't seen an anime this good in a while

  • what is this animea about?

  • @thegreatMSG There's a curse set on a village, and because of that, someone dies every year at the Watanagashi festival. I know this description is raw, but if I said anything else it would be a spoiler. But I can tell you this: be ready for assassinations ;)

  • this song is so awesome

  • I love this anime! But the best story arc had to be that one where Shion killed everyone, what was that arc called again...?

  • i've never cared to watch this show, but the music athmosphere in the opening, just awesome :D

  • I bought 75 miscellaneous manga from a friend,

    after reading 65 of them the remaining 10 were random tibits from random series, after falling ill I read one of the 10, Higurashi, I FREAKING LOVE IT

  • @philhalo66 also greatest opening ever created

  • greatest anime ever created

  • I find it funny that so many people think they've seen the whole series when they've only seen season 1. Season 1 has 26 episodes and is the questions arc, Season 2 has 24 episodes and is the answers arc. Plus there's also a season 3 and 4, but season 2, 3 and 4 aren't ever getting released in English because the company that dubbed them (Geneon USA) went out of business. The Japanese version of Higurashi (aka When They Cry) is better anyway

  • @TheRoyalCucumber You mean when the guy falcon punches the car? You do know alot of ppl have seen it hence the meme for it.

  • I'm trying to understand the first four episodes before I move on to the second story arc. Does the demon possess people to control, and in the moments when Rena and Mion are supposedly insane, that is what is happening?

  • @FinnyFish17 watch the whole series, you will understand it alot more.

  • My friend introduced me to this anime. At first I was like..awww so cute....but next thing I knew I was covering my eyes....XD

  • @KikyoxInuyasha23 At first i was like wow the twins are pretty. Pretty crazy. huh?

  • @CaptainCretaceous91 I know what you mean....I went from :) to :O

  • @KikyoxInuyasha23 I had the same experience. XD

  • @KikyoxInuyasha23 I thought that too, but I like all the blood and all. But the anime is awesome!!

  • @KikyoxInuyasha23 you wuss XD.

  • first of all Death note is Amazing! I loved it, When they cry is up there with it, though it was well really confusing.. lols the second series makes sense of it all, second series is also A LOT less violet and bloody. Still very good =DD

  • i love this opening

  • best opening = best anime

  • @dnakedninja

    not always....I've seen Bleach YUCK!

  • Fist anime that made me think:

    "Whoooooo....... and i thought that life is hard???"

  • @ENDY238 Watch Death Note. That'll make you think.

  • @ENDY238 Watch Texhnolyze and Lain and Bokurano. THOSE WILL REALLY MAKE YOU THINK.

  • Two people were struck my Oyoshiro's curse at the cotton drifting festival.

  • @shivathe888

    Why of course just as always :)

  • This anime for me is really confusing its jumps back and forth to much but oh well its great and i highly reccomend it! XD

  • Ehhhh...I despise Moe looking characters and the only way I'm able to watch it is knowing they are killers. All I'm hoping for is that there is lots of blood and more suspense than cute acts. I watched episode 1 but I skipped through most of it like when they were in school.

  • @rockstar3541 you may as well stop watching the anime then!

  • @Overlimed Theres more cute acts then suspense? Dammit... then I guess there really isn't a point of me watching because I'll end up not even watching it...

  • @rockstar3541 i dont exactly want to give anything away so i cant say to much but just in general those "cute" scenes sorta let you understand how the characters feeling at the time and such. theres more to it then just that tho but i'll leave it there. up to you if you wanna watch but it's one best animes imo! should still give a go =) (including the *cute* scenes)

  • Auuu! Kawaii!!  omochikaerii!!!

  • i want rena's hatchet thats for sure!!!! best anime ever!

  • It's so addictive i started the first episode two days ago and i've almost completley finnished.

  • best anime! =3

  • i have watched the first seasone and half the second and its more than a curse thats the problem and each arc comes together and at the last episode it says its a time loop because its a june that never ends and if u want to know what the problem is just tell me

  • @MegaNikki2012 Well I only got up to the 19th episode :P Before I found that out and stopped watching

  • Sry Mion not Shion

  • @MRSLICENATOR I hate Shion for what she did to Satako. That poor girl.... God i hate even thinking about the scene lol.

  • Omg I know they were evil, but when Keiichi killed Rena and Shion I was screaming at my computer screen! Then the second arc came on and I'm like wtf? Didn't they die? God this anime confused me more than 11eyes(also a good anime)

  • ok, i just watch half of the first season and jesus i was thinking that paranoia agent was mindfuck i was so fucking wrong this is the most mindfuck anime i ever seen is there a anime more mindfuck then this if so please tell because at this moment i dont think my mind can be more rape than that

  • I watched season2 first T~T

  • This anime is drivin me crazy

  • ya, it'll do that

  • number 1 of the best anime ever

  • IM SOO CONFUSED ON THIS SHOW :(

  • @shadowviperXXXX No reason to be confused. Think of it like the butterfly effect. The same thing happens multiable times to get a different outcome so the person that's controling the flow of time can save all the one's they have close to them. You have to watch the end of the first season and start on the second to understand it completely

  • Definitely one of the greatest opening songs of any anime. Too bad the actual anime got repetitive and boring mid way through.

  • at 1:00 why does one twin have a huge scar on her back

  • @HikaruXXXXKaoru Its not a scar. Its a tattoo to tell them apart. It mean's that she is the older sister and will take over the family with her grandmother dies.

  • @Lenown would they just no shes the older sister anyway??

  • @HikaruXXXXKaoru Something happened in the Manga where they switched. So Shion is really Mion and Mion is really Shion. And since they was twin sister's nobody could tell them apart. So they switched and the oldest got that tattoo to tell them apart.

  • @HikaruXXXXKaoru Shion is Mion's identical twin sister, who currently resides in Okinomiya. Their first switch took place when they were little. Right before tattooing the symbol of an oni, which is reserved for the older sister, she was mistakenly identified as Shion, the younger sister, which means that she was actually born as Mion Sonozaki, the older sister.

  • @Lenown okay so which sister is more of a killer

  • @HikaruXXXXKaoru Well if you watch it their all killer's. They have a diease that is triggered when they suffer a huge emotional trama (I believe but not 100% sure) that turns them into a killer and cause's them to go crazy. My best suggestion is to watch it and learn hehe I read it all from looking it up on Wiki and reading about it.

  • i love <3

  • cool opening love it!

    5/5 stars

  • okay in the dub is keichi whats his face's voice actor the same as lutenent kira from bleach?

  • i'm soo crareed it this series !!

  • I love how they make the characters cute as! Then they turn into these crazy fuckers waving knifes around, quite unexpected haha.

  • I would like to watch this.

  • episode 2 was soo scary at the end

  • wow you should watch the ending of Mahou shoujo magica its epic

  • I watched this Anime thinking it was going to be a joke. . .

    O.O

    Boy was I wrong. . . it was/is one of the best animes I've ever watched and I've seen more than 75+.

  • This intro doesnt seem to fit the show. Its an awesome one but it just doesnt seem to fit. Maybe its just me. When I watched the first episode and saw keiichi freaking out with the bat and then this intro came on I was like wtf. I was expecting something a little more creepy.

  • @GorillazforJ23 i know its just like school days

  • @pirokee I have yet to see school days. Is it good? Im always on the look out for unique animes with good stories. And some brutal violence helps as well.

  • @GorillazforJ23 well its ok its in eng sub and it makes u angry at the main after episode 5

  • What is the name of the song cuz its really good

  • everytime i watch the anime i go insane. really i get an axe and try to hit ppl!

  • anyone know where I can view this?

  • @owlsandwalruses The anime?

    I am watching it now on youtube in english. The youtuber is ''whentheycrydub'' just type in ''when they cry episode 1'' it should be the first one.

  • Creepiest anime I've seen thus far

  • Does anyone get twisted thoughts of their own when they watch this show

  • @Onotosho lolx ...yea .especially towards rena 0_o

  • @Onotosho Yeah mate fucked my head up for couple days lol ^^

  • This doesnt scare me.  Just the music, not the pictures. its just creepy...

  • Ive heard this is an excelent anime. Its gonna scare me past horrible nightmares, and I know that, but Im gonna watch it anyway. I love the op.

  • @faximumclarkson not just nightmares, it will make you cry your fucking eyes out.

  • This anime is scary as shit. And the day I started watching it was also the same day I started playing Resident Evil 4.

  • @Djstudiosgold this rapes RE4 anyday!!!

  • this anime is simply a masterpiece<3 higurashi 4ever ^^

  • im on ep 3 and is the guy with glasses really dead i liked him he seemed like a nice guy

  • I loveeee Thisss Anime Sooooo Muchhh!!!

  • why are the heads so terribly drawn

  • does any1 kno how to get this as a ringtone?

  • ok..im going 2 say this now because im getting sick of this....Stop saying u hate da english dub! omg! when doing in japanese, they say lines first then draw anime. with english they fit words with wats already drawn. So plz stop commenting on which is better an just watch da damn show!

  • dude like i got my friend to watch this show and he like freaked out he thought it was so scary! lolz

  • I LOVE THIS SONG AND THE ANIME!

  • creepy anime, with a creeepy ass theme. S= really awesome though. =]

  • This whole series cries out with the dark influences of Lovecraft.

  • Loved this anime

  • @Tuatara8081 Trigun. That is all.

  • song?

  • @1231231231100 The song is "Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni"

  • could you imagen if they translated the song TO ENGLISH

  • @darkitten1 LOL When funmation posted the lyrics at the top of the dub the lyrics seem REALLY silly! XD It makes me wonder if the dub is originally that wonky!

  • awesome song shod had stoped at 0:53 dow ^^

  • It's the most amazing opening to an Anime ever<33333

  • SOOO GOOOOD!!! haha love this anime

  • @LordSesshomaru86 Sure Gundam and Dragonball Z are more commercially accepted, but they are the subject of many satires for their ridiculous plots and characters. Ever hear of commercial success v.s. critical success? I'm sure if you presented one of those two animes and When They Cry to a critic, When They Cry would receive more praise, despite it's relatively small fanbase.

  • I like this anime, but it's certainly not the "best ever" lol. Gundam and Dragonball Z are far more successful

  • 0:58 the scar on shion's or mion's back is it because she fell down from the building?

  • @pickachu32 that is probably the tattoo on her back that she talks about in one of the episodes, although it is shion who said that, but shion was impersonating mion at the time.

  • @arkbound1 oooh ok thanks

  • who sung this song

  • @EvilSisterOfChicken Eiko Shimamiya

  • freakiest anime ever! all most as weird as elfen lied humm diiidddlleee uuuuhhhmmmm,, it was flippin A H M A Z I N G ! ! ! ! ! ! !

  • @Voldo3001: I remember that part in the anime lol.

  • I hope this anime is any good. I heard this anime is a liitle bit similar to Elfen Lied so that's why I decided to watch this. I love Elfen Lied ^_^. Hope this Anime is good.

  • I want Rika's fox mask real bad.

  • i dont get it so they reincarnate after they die? and theres a disease that makes the kill ppl and be paranoid? this is soooo trippy.

  • @shagojyo69 hey um i do agree, but then if they got rid of that sort of music, the world would only have rock metal and opra to go to... :/ it would be rather boring and repetative. its nice to have the variety of music for the variety of people. but i think the world could definatly cope WITHOUT bieber ^^

  • this anime scared the hell out of me but it was so addicting and i had to watch it all. i havent seen the second or third seasons because they r not dubbed. but my brother watched it and he said the other seasons arent scary and they actually have a plot where they dont just keep killing each other over and over again.

  • @rimby1 I recomend you watch the second series, its answers alot of question you might might have, like who actualy killed rika? and it ties up all the randomness from the first series. true it is far less violent but takes the story in a totaly different direction.

    the 3rd series or "the OVA's" dont realy have a story or plot, its just shits and giggles realy, but worth watching just to see rika beating the shit out of satako lol.

  • Epic intro, gives me chills every time i see it.

  • this anime is freakin messed up!!! i remember seeing one particular death scene which freakin traumatised me. its when a girl bashes her head repeatedly into a knife 0_o

  • @voldo3001 god i remember that one, its so brutal i loved it.

  • this is the best anime ever!!!! i'm so surprised that it's not more popular! thumbs up if you think higurashi is the creepiest, yet the best anime ever!!! =D

  • Each chapter in the anime takes place around the time of the festival and shows every murder that happens due to the curse...

    ...I think.

  • @craftsman079

    There's 4 question arks and 4 answer arks. All of these events have happened. I'd say why but I don't want to spoil it for people.

  • people keep saying that this anime is rlly scary and it hecka scares them at first. im to scared to watch it now.... someone explane to me what happened in it at first pwezzz

  • @CookieMonsta400 i wish i cuold help u but.....i dont understand it!! i got so mixed up one persone died and the next episode there back..there back from the grave or what...yea im mixed up and theres something happeing about a curse and i think the other sesone is about fate that u can change it....nothing to be scared about ^_^

  • @zdr51 oh this morning i looked at it. not so scary ^-^ but creeeppy... everything is so different.. but thanks anyways =]

  • Can somebody explain this anime to me? I started watching it today and Im kinda confused.

  • Ok. this happened to me. if you have only watch season 1 (Yes, there are more seasons) watch the others. Season 2 clears up SO much. There is a season 3, but this season is more like a OVA. there is only 5 eps. and it does add nor seem to fit in with the story. I have heard of a 4th season. i havent seen it. I have heard it is just a different anime that is like when They Cry.

  • @vinuto9

    SPOILER ALERT: Well there's 4 question arks and 4 answer marks, and then one in the future. (in the manga) Every event you see has happened, Rika keeps reliving her life, trying to live past the day she dies,thanks to the power of Hanyuu. That's why it's really confusing cause you're like what??He died!Oh but wait...

  • I'm considering abridging this. LOL everything else has been done.

  • am i the only one who thinks what would happen if 4kids got this

    THEIR HEADS WOULD FUCKING EXPLODE!

  • @DukeyBumpenboomy, I know how you fucking feel like right now.... but it would be funny if when one episode was playing and it would stop and say: * We're so sorry but because this show was so fucking abusesive to your children and DAMN SCARY FOR CHILDREN TO WATCH the FourKids studio poeple had they're head explode, we're sorry but you're going to have to watch the rest in subtiltes* ! LOL who agrees with me anyone? but fourkids is abuse to animes. anyone agree with that? plz comment + add me

  • More like When They Die

  • I love this anime i can laugh like the crazy green hair bitch

  • @itachibabygirl12 Hahahaha!

  • @itachibabygirl12 Shion or Mion

  • @mememango2244 who else other than Mion?

  • what language is at the beginning?

  • Why does every one think there is only two season of when they cry? There is 4. -___-

  • @IKillBabyKittensLOL WHAAAAT??? I thought there were only three!!! O.O this one, kai, and the one w/ like, 5 episodes, right? is there a new one?

  • @konata360

    rei isn't a proper season, it was never part of the oridginal story.

    Umineko no naku koro ni is the next season, umineko chiro is be made in december i think.

  • When They Cry was cool.

  • GREATEST anime ever made lol great opening, good story line, no filler, and realy scary. I cant wait to the season 2 and 3 gets dubed season 3 is not that important but 2 makes the first season add up with out it you could end up saying wft just happend the hole time but you will stuff love the ride lol.

  • I hope the get a good world in the end~

  • This song is so creepy i like it ^-^

  • is this anime good i read a review some ago but forgat it gat a 9.0 which is realy near a perfect anime?

  • It's what they call it on Funimation's Chanel so yes

  • you sure this is called when they cry? it's diff from the piano cover i have

  • i love thie anime. its in number 2 of my top 10 10 animes xD i have like...vol 1, 3, and 6. i have all the meags of it to xD

  • This one was good and a little more darker then Elfen Lied

  • @ saylom1234:

    It was probably just the paranoia and fear of "Oyashiro's Curse." Another sort of hint, go to FUNimation's website info. There is an animated sign that says, "Welcome to Hinamizawa, where paranoia will drive you to murder."

    Hope you find this useful.

  • lol this is one of my favorite animes but god dam space time rewind it sucks how the blue one does that all the time what a bitch god dam her lol getting to worked up about this lol

  • this intro showed some weird stuff but i love it any ways

  • luv tis song
