Higurashi no naku koro ni: Gou

As a fan of Higurashi series i had a worries about this new Series. But studio Passione did a really good work in keeping the soul of the original and making the story entertaining and surprising. The story is written as usual by legendary RYUUSHK07 who keeps driven characters to insane and horror as usual. If you were scared while watching gore in old Higurashi, then you will be scared here. For Ex. Satoko Panic attack scene here is really terryfying, i mean its amazing and we got a realistic PTSD scene instead of just Satoko kicking Keicchi for 5m. And yeah, pretty much every gore scene is a little masterpiece, the original did it pretty well but thanks to higher budget, experience, new art techniques we have a truly unconsious experience.

In summary, if you watch original, give it a try. And have a fun watching people suffering

What people forget about Higurashi besides the "horror" aspect, is the feeling of confusion because what makes Higurashi so memorable is the aspect of "mystery" I mean a whole alooooot of mystery, which they give you time to make your own theory as to what do you think is going on, and until they will show you answers later on as the show progresses. and this is what I love about Higurashi.

I haven't watched the original so my opinion is solely regarding this series by itself without comparing it to the 2005 version. Overall I have really enjoyed this series so far; it has good character development, suspense, and does everything it tries to do really well. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys horror anime.

There is just something too special about Higurashi that comes out to be very memorable, the story and the characters are so well written that it's a masterpeice at this point, I hope they make a proper anime adaptation of Umineko in the future.
