Wiki

I just joined

I see birthdays listed on a lot of articles but not mention what the sources is so I'm concerned aobut how canon it is.

I'm wondering if we could put together a 'timeline' of consistent events (albeit a bit flexible near the end for obvious reasons) like the date characters were born, the date of the dam murder, etc.

Hi! i new here!!! i found out about this anime from a friend and i gotta say i love it already! im first watching the 2006 version! im on the contten drifting chapter part 4 "wish" and i really like the series so far! but i was wondering after finishing it what should i watch next? i know theres alot of perquels i just wanna know what would be the best order to watch them in? also if i had to say rena is def my fav so far <333

Also i knew this was ment to be a serious moment but i started laughing like crazy when i saw this-

i feel like i view higurashi wrong. i’ve been fixated on higurashi very heavily since october 2022. i constantly read the wiki pretty much daily, have watched and then rewatched studio deens anime adaption tons of times, watched and then rewatched a few gousotsu episodes a bit, started the manga, looked at ryukishi07’s interviews on youtube, look at discussions and theories, and constantly am seeking more and more information on higurashi. i have a lot memorized and want to know everything there is to know about it. but, i’ve only seen onikakushi-hen for the visual novel. i know the visual novel is better than any higurashi adaption, and i know higurashi works better in visual novel form from seeing that little bit. but the rest of the visual novel im missing out on and it makes me sad.

the anime and manga i can get from pirating sites, but the visual novel? i dont have access to a computer and i seriously dont have the money to buy it anyways. i know it’s available for free on youtube but i have to for some reason be annoying and picky. i cannot STAND the visual novel without ryukishi07’s backgrounds and sprites. it doesn’t feel right. the only arc i found is, again, onikakushi-hen with ryukishis sprites. it seriously bugs me im missing out on the visual novel all because i’m picky and don’t have the right things. i want to experience it more than anything and i feel like an idiot when it comes to higurashi because i can’t fully understand the characters the way they were intended like other fans!!!! it’s so upsettiiiiinnnngggg!!!!!!!!!!

Higurashi is LITERALLY the most magnificent piece of art I've ever seen

I did the eight light novels on steam, finished them some weeks ago

Took me a whole year to do all of it

And damn

It's awesome

It's incredible

It's such genius

I don't even have the words to describe it

It's the best thing I've seen of my existence

It's the most magnificent creation mankind has ever done

The characters, the emotions, the scenario, the mysteries, the actions,

The fact that you understand nothing till the very end where everything get here, and still you think you have all the clues and you still can't find the key because the scenario is too well done

All the games, all of them, are perfect

Because they are all different

And all about different aspects

And each time you discover things

And learn new topics about Hinamizawa

Onikakushi is in the terror and uncomprehension

Watanagashi is the best quiproquo ever done. i KNEw there were two sonozakis and STILL i managed to question if it was real or not. + the ending

Tatarigoroshi is a nightmare. got me so down i made a long pause because DAMN it's horrible

Himatsubushi bring a entirely new view to everything, and the beginning of

Rika

Maekashi is AWESOME because DAMN SHION

Tsumihoroboshi is pure madness. i still aren't convinces this one one single game. This was seven games all in one. There is too much shifts. Too much foly. Too much. i swear i actually became crazy more than once.

And finally, Minagoroshi and Matsuribayashi. The peak of perfection. The most incredible writing ever done by a human.

+ Hanyu exists

This series literally changed me

It had an impact on my entire life and i'll never see anything the same

Thanks to Higurashi

More than once since i finished, i felt the terrible sensation of being empty

Empty because i had finished it

Empty because what was driving me into so much emotions for a whole year was finished

Empty because never i'll feel something that great again

Empty because i'll never go to Hinamizawa again

Empty because it's finished

Empty

Special mention for the five kids wrecking a whole team of elite government assassins

Club members are Gigachads

And Hanyu and Satoko exists which already makes the series legenday

So i got into Higurashi When They Cry (2006) yesterday and finished it today lmao

Anyways, should I watch Gou or is it just a remake with the same stories in it?

Full:

For you to use (just credit me):

Hauu Auau~

What if the SCP Foundation was in Higurashi?

What's the deal with Rena's 'demon'-like eyes in some of the chapters?

And what is the whole Sonozaki demon bloodline thing about?

(I have seen Kai)

Obviously no actual pictures or links (especially for H titles)

I was just thinking a chronological list of release dates, artist names and titles.

Doesn't seem like something which should get a LOT of focus due to being non-canon stuff, but maybe like a single article overview.

If anything it could help tell people "this is unofficial stuff associated with the name"

Will it be a good show for halloween? i no going trick or treating imma stay at home and eat candy. SO is this something good to watch?
