Higurashi: When They Cry Gou is currently streaming via Funimation. If that truly is the case, then I’d be very excited to see it. Between the Ushiromiya mansion and Featherine’s silhouette possibly being featured, it seems more than possible that Higurashi Gou could act as a meeting point for the wider When They Cry universe. The answer may come by way of several glimpses of Umineko content in the OP and ED. Welcome back to the world of 'Umineko When They Cry.' (When Seagulls Cry) Welcome back to the Rokkenjima of October 4, 1986. The answer arcs will teach you many things, but solving the mystery of the epitaph is still up to you. There aren’t many mysteries that have been left unanswered. This is the 2nd half of the 'Umineko When They Cry' sound novel series, featuring episodes five through eight. The question is, however, where could a Higurashi sequel possibly lead? Since the original sound novel’s release in 2001, dozens of arcs have been created touching on many different questions. Where things go from here on out will be fascinating to see.

Again, this is significant as ( spoilers for the original Higurashi series ahead) Rika actually appears as an adult at the end of Higurashi: When They Cry Kai, suggesting that this is indeed a continuation.įurther evidence came at the beginning of episode 2, when Rika wakes up in the Meta-World (a dimension representing multiple realities in the When They Cry universe) and complains to Hanyuu about “having to repeat it again.” To a certain extent, the seeds were already planted at the end of last week, but no one – including myself – expected them to sprout in such a fashion.

‘Gou,’ too, means ‘karma’ or ‘destiny’ – a key theme of the Higurashi and, indeed, When They Cry series as a whole.įeatured above is the new key visual for Higurashi Gou, which depicts two versions of the character Rika, older and younger.

In terms of the meaning, ‘damashi’ means ‘to deceive’ or ‘to cheat,’ which seems appropriate considering the wool that Higurashi Gou had pulled over our eyes. Along with the announcement that the new series would be called Gou, it was announced that the subtitles for episode 1 and episode 2 were ‘Onidamashi-hen.’ This is significant as the initial arc that we were all convinced Higurashi Gou was remaking is called ‘Onikakushi-hen,’ signifying that it is similar but different. According to the police, her charred remains are found in a drum in the mountains however, the autopsy later.

She is one of the consistent victims of the curse in 1983. Takano Miyo is a nurse at the Irie Clinic. Indeed, it may even no longer be a remake.īut first, we should deal with the title change. Takano Miyo ( ), born Tanashi Miyoko ( ), is the main villainess/antagonist in the original Higurashi no Naku Koro ni and Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai. Watching that second episode was like a revelation: everything that I said in my initial review suddenly became irrelevant, and it became clear that the series was much more than it first appeared. That is the new title of the new Higurashi anime, which aired its second episode yesterday.
