Higurashi is seriously one of my favourite series ever. Like, out of all media forms, not just anime. I love it so much... the characters, the story... The first time you finally see the story come together was mind blowing.
Higurashi was the first “darker” anime I got into back in 2008 and I’ve been in love with it ever since (I even translated the first chapter of the “Eye Opening Arc” light novel for my final project for my bachelors in Japanese and translation studies).
It’s amazing and will always be a series I keep close to my heart. While the animation isn’t the best (and the “Kira” OVA was….eh…ehhh) it’s still a wonderful story that carries a lot of themes. It’s kinda upsetting how it tends to get boiled down to a “moe yandere horror” series. It’s so far from that…
