Higurashi No Koro Ni, Better Known Here (Hopefully) As "When They Cry" Or, "When The Cicadas Cry" Is Possibly The Coolest Murder Mystery Anime Ever! This Anime Shows Many Case-Scenarios Where These Kids In The Little Quiet Town Of Hinamizawa Face The Curse Of The Shrine God, Oyashiro. The Curse, Mostly Known As "Oyashiro-sama's Curse" To The Villagers, Happens After Every Watanagashi, Which Is Translated As The "Cotton Drifting Festival". The Way It Works, Is That After The End Of Watanagashi, People Die, And Whatever Number Of People Die, The Same Number Of People Go Missing. "Cotton Drifting" Sounds Like A Good Thing Doesn't It? Well, Watanagashi, Is Actually 2 Words. Wata And Nagashi. Wata Meaning Cotton, And Entrails, And Nagashi, Meaning Drifting. They Mask the Real Meaning By The Word Wata, The Meaning Of Cotton, Instead Of Wata, Meaning Entrails. Anyways, This Is The Best Murder Mystery Anime To Me, Because Every Few Episodes, They Change The Scenario, And Every Time They Do So, You Go Deeper And Deeper Into The Mystery Of The
Quiet And Seemingly Harmless Town. The Picture You See Right In The Beginning Of The Post Is Satoko. This Part Was Possibly One Of The MOST Graphic And Horrible Mutilations In The Series. She Was Hoping For Her Brother To Come Back. Her Brother Satoshi, Who Left Her In The Hands Of her Abusive Uncle. She Had Hope, And This Is What Happened To Her. She Was Stabbed Multiple Times In The Arms, Until She Died Of Blood Loss. Sorry For Such A Disturbing Picture, But Hey, It's There To Support How Awesome It Is! :D Well, This Is All I Have To Say About Higurashi. Hopefully, When My Uncle Reads This, I Must Prove Him Wrong. Not A Mild Mutilation Series, It's Awesome, And It's One I'll Possibly Watch Again When I'm In My 30's xD
