This is a fun and creepy little show. I started watching it just on general otaku principles (it's based on doujin visual novels, and any doujin work that actually manages to get an anime produced has gotta have something going for it), but I'm really getting hooked now. And it is a lot creepier than most other horror shows.

And, for those to whom it's not immediately obvious: Get The Triad's subs: http://a.scarywater.net/triad/

3 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2006-05-05 08:28 ID:F0dmdmNS

Just wondering...How scary is it? Scary as The Ring ? Is it more violent than Elfen Lied?

4 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2006-05-05 10:47 ID:Heaven

It's not very violent. Explicit violence is not scary.

5 Name: 2 : 2006-05-05 21:27 ID:Heaven

Also: This is the most bipolar show in a long time. The way it jumps between the moe and the utter creepiness kind of sets your head spinning.

6 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2006-05-23 20:47 ID:UesZVZ0u

I actually prefer Ayu's fansubs to Traid's. But since both groups have stalled at ep3 or so, it's best to stick with WinD for now. Besides, WinD = We are IN Denial - what a fitting name for a Higurashi fansub group?

7 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2006-05-23 20:57 ID:Heaven

Ayu's translation are in general average at best. Triad is pretty much consistently good to brilliant.

Wind, on the other hand, are a complete joke.

8 Name: Mich The Weird : 2006-06-24 00:36 ID:Heaven

I've watched the first three episodes so far and it's pretty darned interesting.

It's also interesting how (spoiler):

Keiichi was doing everything exactly like Satoshi did - how he picked up Satoshi's bat just like Satoshi, how he swung it just like Satoshi, and how he tried to walk home and avoid the club meeting just like Satoshi. I wonder if he was also getting punished just like Satoshi was?

Well, I guess I'll find out some other time if that was the case.

9 Name: Mich The Weird : 2006-06-28 12:02 ID:XjPIHq3y

WinD seems all right, but their subtitles to "Why, Or Why Not" make no sense at all. How can someone be a river in life? O________O Seems like they turned down the volume, then wrote down whatever they thought they heard to me.

10 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2006-06-30 05:50 ID:8jr7BwDP

I personally like Ayu. Triad is good as well. Wind just...they're speed subbers so it's expected

11 Name: eMuJeI-kun : 2006-07-02 12:58 ID:WF4+SidH

Ayu's subs are great.. but since Wind subs so fast.. most direct d/l sites has Wind instead of Ayu or triad..

12 Name: eMuJeI-kun : 2006-07-02 12:58 ID:WF4+SidH

I guess I meant Ayu when I said WinD in >>9 .

Dang, that Shion-fingernail-ripping-out scene was chilling. I mean, the tension, the screaming, and how the sonozakis forced her to go through with it for being in love with Satoshi.

shiver

17 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2006-08-04 07:35 ID:RqwHDssw

I don't think WinD is that bad, sure their first release was bad, but they've really come along. I'm loving this series~ I was hooked upon the first major WTF twist of plot

18 Name: Mich The Weird : 2006-08-04 18:04 ID:Heaven

>>17

Me too.

19 Name: Mich The Weird : 2006-09-16 15:19 ID:rCLeUl9V

I had an interesting Higurashi-related dream last night. It involved some kids trying to squish some people to decide the next victims of Oyashiro-sama's curse. They decided on Rika in the end. The kids were chasing after me for some reason! Weird and a bit amusing, really.

20 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2006-09-28 07:07 ID:6VyrHC9T

It's over.

I'm sad.

The last ep sure creeped me out. Not really sure how I feel about the ending. I'll wait till the fansub comes out and watch it again.

21 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2006-10-23 19:32 ID:kn3h/pfJ

well, i'm late to the party, but what were your favorite arcs?

I've just finished the original Higurashi no Naku Koro ni PC game.
Great. Simply great. I'd never expected that the whole mysteries would be completely solved like this.
But come to think about it, foreign people will never know the truth unless they decide to make the second season or someone decides to translate the whole (approximately)4MBites Japanese texts.
How poor...

...no. maybe kj1980 will post the spoiler again...

very strange series but i ended up watching through it all because of the suspense. the last bunch of episodes tied up loose threads but then the final 2-3 episodes completely lost me again @_@

just a rip-off of elfen lied with worse characters,art and plot

this anime sucks monkey balls

27 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2007-01-02 05:42 ID:kn3h/pfJ

>>26
That's an impressively fast ripoff. The first Higurashi game was released about two months after the Elfen Lied manga started running.

I haven't seen EL so I can't contest your statement of opinion, but perhaps someone else will?

#_# Shit, did you guys compared it with Elfen Lied..?
A rip Off..?
This anime is not about sadistic you know..And we do not see a "horn" guy/women in this series #_#
This anime really need a 2nd season..

30 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2007-01-24 09:10 ID:+eD2glFI

Only an idiot would say this is a rip-off of Elfen Lied.

I heard they are making a second season.

31 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2007-01-24 14:54 ID:kn3h/pfJ

>>30
Indeed, it's confirmed now. I hope the technical staff does a better job of it then on the first one.

32 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2007-01-24 15:58 ID:sDSyWbzj

please guys, don´t compare that piece of shit called higurashi with the great elfen lied

33 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2007-01-24 20:16 ID:JTSxskHg

Has the elf lied yet

34 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2007-01-24 21:52 ID:KIyo/Pqf

Elves always lie. They are mischievous and full of malice.

36 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2007-03-22 17:53 ID:QDNkZWPp

higurashi was alright, the ending was kind of disappointing.

were there two different stories of what happened for keichi or whatever in the beginning? i don't remember the earlier episodes so well now, but iirc, the first 8 episodes/2chapters were different story lines, and then the rest of the chapters filled in information from other characters on the 2nd chapter story. or were they supposed to be the 'same' story at all?

37 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2007-03-22 18:40 ID:kn3h/pfJ

>>36

They're all different storylines. However, chapter 5 shares the same essential events as chapter 2, and in chapter 6 Rena is in a similar situation as Keiichi was in chapter 1. They are considered the "Answer" chaptes to those "Question" chapters (likewise, in the games chapter 7 answers chapter 3, and chapter 8 answers chapter 4.)

Also, season 2 was confirmed for July recently. It's called "Higurashi no Nako Koro ni Kai," suggesting it's an adaptation of chapters 7 and 8.

40 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2007-05-22 23:17 ID:CZYUKGHY

Higurashi is great. I hope someone licenses the manga. I'll probably buy the anime when it comes out...

Shion and Mion's Character CD Theme "Futari no Birthday"
It's awesome. Yukino Satsuki does a duet with herself (She voices both Shion and Mion), and there's some awesome screaming and flipping out at 2:55 =D
(On Character CD 2)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1P1B_0DtVY

4 Words. Keiichi and Oishi RAPPING.

(On same CD as Rena's theme)
Do you know Oyashiro-sama? Yes, Hinamizawa. I Kill You, You Kill Me, No, Hinamizawa.

43 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2007-06-14 02:15 ID:ncivy5dn

anyone have the lyrics to Egao Happy Peace typed out??

44 Name: 42 : 2007-06-15 00:35 ID:SEjGJY5/

I was hoping someone else did...

I'm trying to at least get the raw Japanese words down, but Rena talks fast (Although not as fast as in Motteke! Sailor Fuku =P), and I don't have a way to slow the thing down... I can't read the lyrics in the booklet either, because I can only read hiragana, the simpler of the characters.

I was going off what I heard, and not what I read.

If a week goes by, and no one posts them, I'll post my sad excuse for a version, but everyone needs to critique it and tell me what doesn't make sense...

...Oh, and I lied in my 42 post. The screaming is at 2:41. =D

Apparently Satoko and Rika are supposed to have a character CD coming out in late July. I'm definately pre-ordering it =D I love this Higurashi insanity =3

Thanks!! I'll try and check my version against the slow version in a few days (I have limited access to the comp right now, but if anyone else wants to try and correct my version feel free to)

Some comments about lyrics
~I kinda guessed where spaces should go (Eh heh.)
~On the "me wa ranran ha~ato" part, I wasn't sure if she said "nara" or "ranran".
~On the "Dou-kana? Yorokondeku, RURERUTO iina" part, I was kinda iffy if it was supposed to be Roulette in Engrish or if Rureruto was an actual word.

I'm thinking about attempting to get the lyrics to Keiichi and Oishi's image song down. (XD) I'm going to see how hard they are to hear tonight, but I'll probably end up doing this anyway. I've got a lot of free time (Only it's free time I can't spend on the computer.)

Updated Version, with the Tamagoyaki and Hamburger ^_^ (I put Hambaagu, for pronounciation's sake) Changed "Iyame ni naku naku cha" to "Hayame ni ika naku cha"...

~~I bought the English DVD Vol. 1 of Higurashi... I was kinda dissapointed with the English voices though =(
Oh well. Actually, nothing can compare to the amazing performances Mai Nakahara (rena), Yukino Satsuki (Mion/Shion), and Hoshi Souichirou (Keiichi) give <3

50 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2007-06-20 14:12 ID:Heaven

(Kinda late, I know)
That happen to you too? First night after I watched the DVD of Higurashi, I dreamt that Mion shot my whole "family"(Although, it wasn't my IRL family, oddly enough) dead o_o;;
And then she came after me.

...I woke up after that. It's kinda childish, but honestly, I can't stay home alone very easily anymore, because I hear sounds and I flip out. >_>;;

On the "Kyou ha runrun pikuni" part, it's likely that "pikuni" should be "pikuniku", because that means picnic in Japanese.

...I guess I'll give it it's own topic, as to not clog up the thread.

My friend and I did a lame attempt at trying to get the lyrics down for Keiichi and Ooishi. But I'm looking forward to seeing yours. (Seeing as they'll definitely be better than ours)

Good luck with that!

who's pumped for the second season?

59 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2007-07-05 20:32 ID:7KX2nGl/

I seriously CAN'T WAIT until tomorrow. I really was dissapointed at the end because I REALLY wanted Rena to kill Keiichi cause... I hate him. I also wanted Rena to stay evil... cause she's cool like that.

60 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2007-07-06 23:04 ID:ZLiY6CUz

Well, the first episode has aired. It's not part of any arc, is nothing like the summary in >>55 (I hear that's actually the second episode?) and is mostly cleaning up after the big omissions from Tsumihoroboshi made by the first season. Still, I dig it.

Animation's very nice. Only part that bugs me is that Rika looked more stupid then she did creepy during the flashback. The PS2 game did that part better.

Rika and Satoko's character CD came out a few weeks ago, and Rika's song, "Mugen Kairou" (Infinite Corridor) is really nice. http://youtube.com/watch?v=jLugbN2g_IY (or http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm703125 if you have an account)

So I crappy-translated it. I skipped the poem-like sections at the beginning and end though. Not sure I have the correct lyrics for them, nor the skill.

coughs

I can see, I can see
This completely known disgrace
Going on, going on
This corridor without end
Ah, the lamenting voice
of the bird who ate the red fruit
Also that mouth, and also that body,
are dyed with the color of sin

Against the always-merciless truth,
you close your eyes and your ears
But when this song reaches you,
please believe me, and let's make
the flower of miracles bloom
in this barren land

Round and round, round and round
This creaking, distorted gear
Falling down, falling down
From here to where do I go?
Ah, those weeping voices
ripen the fruit of sin at night
Also these wings, and also this heart,
are dyed with the color of blame

Are these quiet days just illusion?
Who will invite us all to ruin?
But when you escape the law of death,
please believe me, and tonight,
let's make a dream bloom
with this flowing blood

Ah, that returning voice,
questioning my reason for existence
Also that moon, and also that oath,
are dyed with the color of night

Against the always-merciless truth,
you close your eyes and your ears
But when this song reaches you,
please believe me, and let's make
the flower of miracles bloom
in this barren land,
with this flowing blood...

Here's the lyrics in case anyone is interested. Might have errors. I took them off the nicovideo.

Oh, and Satoko's song is here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Kaexj7vB4Cg

春うらら 夢心地
なのに 切ないのです (みい〜)
胸の奥 決意をひめて
微笑むのです (にぱ〜)

見える 見える
知り尽くした屈辱
続く 続く
果てしない回廊
嗚呼 赤い味を
食べた鳥の嘆く声
その口もその体も
罪色の染まる

真実はいつも無残で
耳も目を塞きたくれた
この歌がいつか届くと
ほら、信じて 奇跡の
華咲せましょう
乾いた池に

廻る 廻る
歪み軋む歯車
落ちる 落ちる
此処から何処へと
嗚呼 罪の実は
熟れて夜に叫ぶ声
この羽も この心も
咎色に染まる

穏やかな日々は幻?
誰も皆滅ぶを招く
死の運命(さだめ)いつか超えると
ほら、信じて 今宵も
夢咲かせましょう
流れた血で

嗚呼 存在の
理由問お声がめぐる
あの月もあの誓いも
闇色に染まる

真実はいつも無残で
耳も目を塞きたくれた
この歌がいつか届くと
ほら、信じて 奇跡の
華咲せましょう
乾いた池に
流れた血で。。。

春うらら 暖かい
なのに切ないのです (みい〜)
春がゆく 春がゆく
やがて時みつる。。。

Truthfully, I don't really like Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni. But I can't look away from it because of Rika. I have a thing for girls with long blue hair. >w>

67 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2007-08-16 04:32 ID:x387c9aD

Yes. I have a thing for very young girls too. You're not alone.

68 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2007-08-19 14:16 ID:1pI8juZx

The episodes are getting better and better... The problem is, that we have already been spoiled everything... (*´Д`)Takano

69 Name: Random Anime Otaku : 2007-08-19 20:16 ID:Heaven

> (*´Д`)Takano

"...Takano. If you can promise me something, I can let you inside."
(omitted)
"...I'm not trying to fool you. I'll let you go inside. Nipa~☆"
"Ni..... Nipa――丶(>▽<)ノ――!!"

This is the first time I've seen Takano with such an innocent smile on her face.
...It ranks as high as one of Keiichi's miracles, considering in one hundred years, I've never seen that smile...
Apparently, Tomitake hadn't seen it before either.
Takano's intellectual image inside Tomitake must be falling apart as we speak.
...Or perhaps I should say it's another part of her charm...?

"....I'm surprised Takano could be that funny..."

"...You were right, communication is important. Goes to show it's not easy to really know people..."

For a while, we just watched Takano, dancing in a flutter of rose petals.

"...Since I'm keeping your visit secret, we must be careful not to let others see us."
"Ah, you're right. I'll try to bring Takano-san back to sanity."
"....While you're at it, I'll go and get the key."

When I brought back the key, Takano had calmed down.
But from time to time, her face returned to a stupid smile.
...She may look like the most mature person here at first sight, but she may actually be the most childish one out of us all.
Is that gap what they call moe?
Keiichi once told me about it, but I don't really understand when to use it...

"...Well then, Takano, Tomitake, please promise me a few things before we go in. I won't let you in if you don't."
(omitted)
"...Please take this seriously, Takano-san..."
"That's rude of you, I couldn't be more serious! giggle"

(Hanyuu) "....The image I have of Takano is now totally ruined."
"Same for me. Takano's stocks just crashed...."

....Was it Rena that said this?
....I can definitely agree with her: it's useless brooding over your problems alone.
Takano had something cold about her attitude that made her hard to talk to, and I didn't like her weird hobbies...
.....I never thought she could be that kind of person.
She looks just like Rena when she goes into Take-things-back-home mode.
If I had known she was such a funny person earlier, perhaps I wouldn't have become certain that I disliked her.
....Communication is important after all...

"...Don't tell anyone about this."
"Of course! I swear I won't!"
I hadn't even asked her, but she put her hand on her chest and took an appropriate pose.
And she asked Tomitake to do the same.
...Tomitake's vain (and nervous) efforts to try and follow Takano's rhythm were extremely funny.
"It's an extremely important place, so don't get anything dirty, nor break anything."
"Of course. But, can we take pictures?!"
"....Mii. You can, but it'll be 100 yen per picture."
"Ehhhhhhhhh!! Jirou-san, how much do you have?"
"....For 10000 yen, you will get a one-day coupon at a bargain."
"So cheap!! I'll pay!! Jirou-san!"

She really paid me...
Even Hanyuu's eyes shined in anticipation. She has no need for money, but she knows that money will turn into desserts.

(later)
".....Takano, cats must meow meow. Nipa~☆"
"W-what do you mean...?"
"....I won't show the rest to you if you're not a proper cat. I brought a collar with a bell and cat ears. Put them on, then crawl on the floor going 'meow meow'. If you don't, I won't open the next door."
"Eh, eeeeh?! Ha, haha, you're rough.... That's going a bit too far..."
"Eh,.... eh, if that's the trial, I'll do it!"
"Rika-chan is simply trying to put my curiosity to the test! If that's what you want, I'll wear cat ears, bloomers, and a tail, then I'll crawl on the floor, and I'll ask you 'please, master, let me drink milk' in front of an empty bowl!!"

".... If she was as old as we are, I'm certain she would have taken part in our club activities."
(Hanyuu) "That's right... Do you remember those scraps of stocks flying down the buildings in Wall Street? That's about how I feel about Takano right now...."

"Rika-chan, I'll do it! Are the cat ears and the collar enough?!"
(Tomitake) "Ah.... err, Takano-san. You know, that door isn't locked. See, it'll open if you push."
"R, really?! giggle, I'm pretty pathetic.... giggle"
