Higurashi is always a wild ride, and this was no exception. Himatsubushi is a fun shorter story from a different viewpoint, and the stuff it establishes is wild. I wish I was a lot blinder now than I am, because I can only imagine going totally nuts over this stuff while waiting for the answer arcs to come out and having all that time to come up with theories based on what we already know.

It was really fun to have a different perspective--many different perspectives, anyway. The TIPs were even more fun than usual this time around given all their Portentiousness. Also Oishi is a complicated shitty old man and it was fun to spend time with him in a different context because I like those sorts of characters.

That after party was also pretty buckwild, though as someone who could point and be like "I understood that reference," I had a good time.
