Top Ten Favorite Anime / 5 / Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni (2007)
Reading the When They Cry series blind in reverse release order was a trip
OMG I WAS FUCKING RIGHT WASN'T I!!!
Also I forgot when I wrote this but yeah Mion asked about Shion right after the festival so Shion (pretanding to be Mion) should know about it.
Lol how the hell did I call this is my super power to tell twins apart.
Higurashi theory aka my crack Watanagashi theory that might be wrong bc it basically just a gut feeling
Okay here is my theory in short after the (festival) Watanagashi we don't meat Mion we only ever interact w Shion.(I'm at the very begining of Meakashi rn like ch 1)
Let me explain Mion never really comes to or stays for long in school afterwards but when she interacta w Keiichi it feels very different than before (might be related to the doll incident but I don't think that's it) she has that in my opinion very Shion like edg to her that somewhat vindictive/bitch way to it PSA: I don't think Shion is evil she just kind of has that feel to her character. It just kind of feels like none of the heartfelt moments betwen her and Keiichi never happened which would also make sense if it was Shion bc those things she wasn't present for.
About the phone calls: Shion never gives us her number which would make sense if she was for some reason calling from Mion's house which is in a school registry of some sorts idk kind of sus but not really damming evidance.
About Oryo or the "hag" (I love Shion can you tell she is soooo ahhhhhh love her so far) murder now more than ever makes more sense for Shion she hated her so damm much its not hard to see if she was pushed by circumstance (like Keiichi in Tatarigoroshi w Teppei) she would commit it even Satoko's and Rika's murder would make more sense w Shion neighter of them was she particularly close to as far as we know in the story.
And my last bit of evidance basment "Shion" never confirms who she is before dying (the person in the "basment"). And "Mion" (Shion in this theory) pretends to be her self again taken by the police and let go goes to Keiichi's house and stabs him when he comes out (idiot she told she'd be dead and only a demon would take her place but what ever) then goes back to her apartman falls down and dies. So yes everything can and does still work.
Is this a metric fuck ton of reaching yes but I had fun thinking about this and I'd be dammed if I didn't write this out of me. That's it thanks for reading my deranged rambelings I truly lost my way....I think.
Oh for sure I'm reading it not rn but the last time I read it on like may 1st or something and I love it and from the little I've seen of Umineko I'm gonna read it to for sure.^_^
If you find that this is an impossible question and you don't know who to vote for... me too!
OK, this is worse, I know who I'm going to vote for, but there are two siblinghoods that I would love to vote for and it's hurting that I can't!
people who don't like the original sprites of higurashi/umineko are weak in my opinion. but i must confess that that used to be me. i too read the novels with the updated sprites first. that is something i will never be able to do undo regardless of how much i paint over the truth. but i saw the light, eventually. i found the earnest love that i had previously tossed aside so carelessly in favor of what i used to consider prettier! all it took was to open my mind just a little bit and consider things from different angles. and soon i was able to appreciate all the little things in the original sprites that the updated ones lack!!
what i wanted to say is, growth is possible. change is okay. read ryukishis novels with his sprites.

I'm living proof that there is not a single closeted When They Cry fan.
I ONLY READ 4 ARCS OF HIGURASHI and I already shill for this dammed franchise. My first ever reblog here is about the god damm "master" detective rat queen Erika Furudo I only saw a livestream of the first chapter of Umineko by @nezumiva (btw she is reading Higurashi rn check it out if you are interested in a slice of life, horror, mystery in the sleepy village of Hinamizawa (dam wars who?)).
I love all the characters so much Keiichi definetly the smartest man in the room Maebara def a specal ed kid too (Tatarigoroshi for my sorce), Rena best autism rep girl Ryugu, Mion I'm gonna force fem Keiichi if that's the last thing I'll do Sonozaki, Satoko master trap maker and best little sister Hojo and Rika I'm gonna be a little depressed shit because I can be Furude. No more characters bc no spoilers for T (WAIT THAT'S NOT HIS NAME WTH he is so sus now), M creepy af rn, S funny and creepy (how both?) and O Himatsubushi actualy makes me like him a little wtf.
So yeah go read the god damm vn (visual novel) on steam or watch @nezumiva s streams and her unreleated videos she deserves it!!!
Today I wanted to draw a quite quick Rena's fanart from higurashi. This is one of my favorite visual novels, btw~
I really like how this art turned out, I didn't expect it~
