this was my favorite thing ever until I read akb49 later the same year, the way it talks about friends connected with me deeply and I will forever love it for it.
A conclusion to thq Question arcs, the answe arcs all make it so worth it. Some arcs I feel overstay their welcome, with some odd tempos in the story's rhythm, but other than that, still an amazing piece of literature all around.
One of the greatest Heel–Face Turns in the history of visual novels. Once you come prepared from reading the question arcs, Kai assaults you with a tremendous shift in tone, direction and message that realizes the ultimate sincerity that makes this story so touching. Kai's four chapters are the lynchpin that not only holds the Higurashi saga together, but also let the world know the full potential of Ryukishi07 as a writer.
Es como follar con un tío precoz, se detiene a cada rato para durar más y cuando finalmente acaba te toca alcanzar el orgasmo tú mismo.
I could not imagine after playing chapter 1 that i would finish the eighth with a very different sight of the entire series.
This is a review of the Answer Arcs, again i did one for each chapter even if not that complete, but it's more like the series as a whole.
Higurashi is a series that changed a lot from the start to the end. Many people can be very upset about it, and they are not wrong (flashbacks of danganronpa v3). There are a lot of very big inconsistences or incomplete arcs, like characters being ignored, when they were very important before. So if your focus is in a entire well written storyline, you can be left dissapointed. Even with lots of highs and lows, it's was a reading i enjoyed.
Ryukishi07 said many times in the Staff Extras that his work it's to challenge you, the player, and try to create a world where the story can be made complete. All chapters are pieces of this big puzzle, and if you are not satisfied with the ending he gave, you can make your own, be it a good or a bad one. After all they been through i was happy with the ending, even if it's not that good in a objective sight.
Higurashi When They Cry is an experience that everyone who can endure almost 100 hours of text will like, less or more than me, or drop it after the first chapter. If you endure, i know there is something in this big puzzle that you will remember the series for. Be it happy, sad, angry, boring or epic moments, the memories will be there for you to create the perfect ending they deserve.

i truly can't decide if this or umineko was better. they're about on the same level of quality to me, that is to say, peak fiction and an absolute must-read
