Trauermonster:

Das Trauermonster hat an meine Tür geklopft, ist dann einfach hereingestürmt ohne zu beachten, dass ich es gar nicht herein lassen wollte. Und jetzt Sitz es hier. Mal auf meiner Brust, so groß und schwer, dass ich glaube daran zu ersticken. Mal auf meinen Schultern. Trägt dann einen dunkelgrauen Mantel aus Traurigkeit. Einen Mantel so lang, dass ich fast vollständig darunter verschwinde. Manchmal scheint es überall um mich herum zu sein. Ist dann so vereinahmend, dass es mir schon fast unwirklich vorkommt. Fast so vorkommt, als wäre sein klopfen an der Tür, nur ein böser Traum gewesen. Aber wirklich nur Fast, denn im nächsten Moment steht es wieder vor mir und schreit mich an. Ganz laut. Und voller Wut. Aber weil da niemand ist auf den es wütend sein könnte, setzt es sich dann auf einmal einfach neben mich und schweigt mich an. Schweigt so lange, bis mir die Stille fast noch lauter erscheint, als sein Geschrei davor. Und weil auch das Trauermonster manchmal müde wird, weil es sich so oft verwandelt, verschwindet es ab und zu dann doch für eine Weile. Geht dann aber nicht einfach, sondern Nimmt alles andere gleich mit, bis nur noch Leere übrig bleibt. Und weil diese Leere auf Dauer noch viel schlimmer ist, als das Trauermonster selbst, lass ich es dann widerwillig doch immer wieder rein. Rein zu mir, mit all seinen Launen und Gesichtern. Versuche dann auszuhalten, was nicht aushaltbar ist.

God I love this artwork and these designs and just these generally striking and freaky visuals so much, what a pog show this is.

Anyway, Higurashi Gou episode 3 was pretty cool. A lot of what we learn this episode relates to the greater lore of the series, with the guardian deity of Hinamizawa - Oyashiro getting a lot of focus. And this dude intrigues me, right, cause he could just be any other guardian deity everyone pays their respect to every year. However, we also learn that over the last 6 years, one person has consistently gone missing while another died on the night of that one festival, and that’s actually attributed to Oyashiro as this curse thing. So do we respect this god and pay thanks out of genuine appreciation, or is it a fear thing, because of what he can do to people? Hinamizawa apparently used to be full of demons, maybe Oyashiro cleared them out or something? But then maybe the Curse of Oyashiro is just the residents scapegoating their god for their own murderous actions? Maybe Oyashiro’s not even real?

But then we also learn that Rena, adorable little Rena, started constantly reciting his name when she got put into counselling for having dysautonomia, which just means her nervous system doesn’t work quite right. Which should be weird since she only moved to Hinamizawa a year ago, right? Wrong! She lived there through elementary and then moved away, and is now moving back. Okay so she knows who Oyashiro is from that, but why suddenly start talking about him all the time in counselling? Is Oyashiro himself fucking with Rena? Is that why she smashed all those windows in middle school? Is that why she seems genuinely intent on murdering Keiichi at the end of the episode? I don’t fuckin know and I’m really excited to find out.

I was also a big fan of the scene where she calls him out for hiding secrets of his own when trying to pry secrets from her, like I’m totally with Keiichi here given the context of his situation, even if he maybe could’ve been more forthcoming about his reasonings for being suspicious, but it’s still great seeing Rena call out his hypocrisy anyway.

I think the one main criticism I have so far is that I’d like it if Keiichi were a more proactive protagonist. He’s not not proactive, took and read those newspapers to learn about Hinamizawa’s history and stuff, but he’s still fairly reactionary, with Tomitake and this episode’s newcomer Ooishi being his main sources of exposition and stuff. I like all 3 of these characters, and with Tomitake having disappeared alongside his maybe girlfriend Takano, there’s intrigue there, but Ooishi at least is so far just a mouthpiece for Keiichi to learn things he couldn’t figure out himself, and I just kinda want a bit more for everyone involved.

Of course, we’re only on episode 3, and the show cold opened on Keiichi killing all the girls, so I assume these criticisms will be addressed in due time. As it is now, I’m still having fun, I’m still engaged in the mystery, I have yet to feel lost or confused from having not seen any of the other anime adaptations, all that stuff. Show’s just poggers, and I’m liking it.
