[Review] Higurashi no Naku Koro ni 「ひぐらしのなく頃に」

Hi! Since I'm not really in a Lucky Star mood, I think I'll do Higurashi for a while.

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni is an anime that takes place in a small town called Hinamizawa. In the beginning, you will follow Keiichi and his friends, but it will soon alternate between characters. Keiichi and his friend Rena has gone to the dump to retrieve a figurine Rena wanted. While over there, Keiichi talks to a photographer who tells him about a grusome murder that happened not so long ago. But when Keiichi asks his friends, they all reply in the same way in the same deadly tone. Hinamizawa has an annual festival called Watanagashi and every year after it, a person will be mysteriously murdered and one will disappear. The plot will leave you questioning it and confuse you, and will leave you shocked, scared, horrified, happy, and all of the above, murderous.

The art is very kawaii in some parts like the big, sparkling eyes and the face structure but some will be grusome with blood splatters all over, with lifeless eyes and crazy expressions on the characters' faces. They have many scenes that will make you flinch and give you nightmares and some will leave you laughing on the floor.

THE MUSIC!!!!!!! THE VOICE ACTORS!!!!!! The music fits the anime so well! The thene is creepy and spooky with a cold feeling the moment it starts while the end has a somber feeling to it. The OST is very nice along with innocent songs to hide the true form of the characters.

Creepy, bloody, and down right scary, Higurashi will leave a mark that will last forever.

Spoiler!
