I like how the song starts sounding like it would be a really creepy song like the first opening but then when she starts singing it reveals it to be a really beautiful and touching song.
I also love how after the singing first started they insert a few creepy parts in between verses, making it completely feel like flashbacks of horrible memories. Fits the story perfectly where the characters retains dreams about their previous lives that turned out badly.
I think second opening is my favorite if someone wanna sing here is lyrics: Saa wasuremashou sono mirai ga Mata chinurarete yuku nante Namanurui kaze toguro wo maitara Sore ga tabun aizu...

This is the only anime that gave me REAL chills. In other horror animes, you usually dont know about peoples personalities that much, since its a "horror anime". But this anime really showed the personalities, possible endings and the weaknesses of the characters. This can be one of the most underrated animes tbh.

Higurashi had poor animation and some silly scenes, but it was by far the best horror show I've watched and to top it all off, its plot made more sense than most horror shows I've seen. Modern horror is all about cheap effects and completely lacks world building, atmosphere setting and creating suspense...
I don't think a lot of fans even mind the poor animation because the original source material is low quality in many aspects too. The art is incredibly deformed and there's barely any accompanying background cg's to go alongside it. It's all on your imagination to come up with mental images of what the author is describing.

I just want to forget the time the first time i watched the second season od higurashi, to watch it the first time again. God, that feeling will never come back tho .-.
I know someone that forgets shows he's seen, he hates it but I'd love to be able to do that just to be able to rewatch many of the amazing animes out there, it just isn't the same watching when you know everything that will happen. :(
_sees the word "hope", remembers that one character with frontotemporal dementia that decided to bomb his school because his class was too depressed to take an exam_
absolutely yes. i watched this in 2009 summer, then recommended to my friends... amazing, time flies... 12 years (!!!) has passed, but still a masterpiece.
Honeslty you can not compare it with other anime. It's on a whole different level. Everything is so amazingly done...a masterpiece. Only one problem though...i didn't like the second season as much as the first one, since it's not horror. But with time i grew to understand how important it is for the series to actually have a good ending and we can let higurashi as the series rest in our memories knowing it's one of the best shows from the 21 century AND MOST CERTAINLY THE BEST HORROR ANIME OF ALL TIME.
*evolution of a first time listener* Stage one: hmmm not bad Stage two: that beat... Stage three: that beat!!! Final stage: *replay button pressing intensifies*
Escape, escape, from this sorrowful fate. You are not a flower of Hell. In that kind of place Don't bloom there, don't bloom there Don't let them ensnare you.
As a high school kid with back then not diagnosed adhd(Higurashi was/is still one my hyperfixations) and dealing with abuse at home(high school was still awesome time since I such awesome friends by my side ❤ no one into higurashi or even anime tho lol) this used to be one of my "hiding place" songs. When everything got too hard to deal with I would put my headphones and listen to this on repeat on a burned cd lol... It somehow soothed me knowing I wasn't a flower of hell, naraku no hana... I am 30 years old and I still love this song.
@@nirriii I can see that being sincere. I remember really loving both openings back when I watched this in highschool and it's very nice rediscovering this stuff
this whole song for me is a time portal to late 2000's, when I first encountered this anime. I feel like she's telling me to escape the current moment and go back to where I belong, a place from a time past.
Oh my Hawn, Higurashi is one of the animes that I want to forget, for watching it again, having the same experience than the first time I've seen it. I want it too for Steins;Gate, Shiki and Umineko :c
I didn't like Umineko. I felt like it was a waste of my life. Apparently they continued on with the anime when they shouldn't have, so important plot points were accidentally left out. So I understand my logic there. I can see how it can be good though.
NewStartHajime NSH I had no idea either. But given my bad experience with the anime, I could see it. I had trouble seeing where it was meant to be going, but granted the circumstances I guess I can see why.
+Se-chan Actually no. For a show that released long before the VN was actually finished, Umineko does a great job at keeping every major plot point in the first four chapters. It even manages to hint some points that weren't revealed until the very end of the book, which wasn't released until a while after the show was finished. Most of the trouble Umineko had is because of the novel's length and a few stylistic choices that had resulted from that. For instance, the size of the roster. It's really hard to develop that many characters in the span of 26 episodes, and while Umineko managed to develop everyone's established favorites, most of the others fell by the wayside.
Sam Geuvenen Fair enough, most of this is just what I've been told by people who have played/read the other mediums the story has been created in. While I have an intention to read the manga, I haven't made a start yet. I'm very understanding of the difficulties the adaption had, and how you put it certainly puts a number of my problems into perspective. Still, because of those problems, I wouldn't run off and recommend the anime to people. All I'd recommend would be its music since I'm entirely fond of that.
Agree. Though I just recently watched Steins Gate and it's pretty good. I don't think anything will ever top Higurashi though, everything was excellent in it.
What can I say I watched this anime 6 years ago and still remember the emotional journey I was on. The true fear pain and hopelessness conveyed in some of the scenes, the strengths of watching others overcome obstacles, and even the failures which made the finale feel genuine and not phoned in unlike so many other animes. I remember the anger I felt (I heard this was also a visual novel and sure as hell felt like I was in there). Whenever I mention my favorite anime this and Steins Gate are ones I never forget to mention. I warn people every time the art is deceptive as this anime is another journey and while dark it feels like a genuine experience and has some strong lessons. Sorry for my spiel Ill always love this anime. Hauuuuuu.
HigurashI really made people can't help to remember it. It will be glad to see even 10ys later ppl can still watch it over and over again. Thanks for your genuine words!
I regret not watching the original when I had the chance, I've heard great things about it and the plot intrigues me. I tried watching it once and only got an ep or two in sadly before they foolishly pulled all footage of the original and replaced it with Gou. I really wish I could watch the original, but even pirated versions are hard to come by these days. Seriously, they're sitting on a goldmine here, if they only re-released it as a DVD set or something. Idiots.
Best Higurashi Opening Also one of the best Anime out there. If you are familliar with Visual novels This Anime is the reason to save often and in different savegames.
How to listen to this: 1. Wear your headphones 2. Play this opening 3. Close your eyes 4. Enjoy After that while listening to this I had a feeling that I'm from Hinamizawa and I'm Higurashi character. Or there's something wrong with me 😂
***** You know... it's kind of unexpected to find spoilers pertaining to the story of an anime on a video showcasing the opening. Regardless, the spoiler wasn't that bad and I've moved on.
I'll just recommend, anything anywhere about a series will have spoilers, so if you haven't finished it, or watched it yet, just don't ever go near it. As much as there will be people thinking there logically won't be spoilers, there'll be just as many people thinking logically that everyone here has finished the story.I know it's a late reply, but it's a recommendation worth given, since I would have greatly appreciated it in the past.
I watched this anime like a month or so but still I can't get it out of my head. I'm not an anime person but after I watched Death Note (the only anime/manga I liked) I wanted to try more of this genre and then I found this series. It was by far one of the best stories I had the pleasure to watch. The characters, the storyline, the music, THE VILLAIN, they all are excelent. I wish I has the opportunity to watch this for the first time again.
yeah same, Higurashi along with Elfen Lied were the first animes i've ever watched and they are what made me love how anime is able to tell stories, build characters and show emotions in a way you could never archieve in a real life counterpart.
Try reading Umineko, it's from the same guy who wrote Higurashi. I guarantee you won't be disappointed. You'll get even better experience if you read "And Then There Were None", but it's not necessary .
Yeah this song is about a flower in he'll which is purely metaphorical of course. Its like a child having a terrible destiny and they are trying to break out of their fate
Honestly I think this opening prepares you a lot for the second season, since it wasn't like the first season at all. The second season really focuses more on solving the events in the first season and is a lot more drama and mystery oriented. The scary elements was almost completely gone after the first season.
t's amazing how even after years this anime is still one of my favorites, one of the biggest things that exists in it is precisely the songs, this song in question if you analyze beyond the supernatural point of the anime, it seems to portray abusive homes, practically as an incentive for these traumatized children not to become like those who have hurt them
I remeber watching this opening of My little Pony when I was 8 years old XD but when I was 11 I had come back watch the My little pony and original version again and then I got into this anime. Now I'm 14 years old I like to listen to this opening again and watching 2020 version.
When i was watching higurashi no naku koro ni gou 2020 episode 1 and man that gave me the best chills in forever i exactly knew i was in the right place again watching this show truly gives me more hope for the future. Too Good.
Still my favorite in 2017, nothing comes close to the emotions i went through watching the second season of Higurashi, the struggle, the fate they cannot change is just out of this world. Such a masterpiece
Ok, just here to tell people to GO READ THE OG VN, or at least just Minagoroshi (ch.7). I barely exaggerate when I say how much I love this series, and Minagoroshi in particular is such an emotional rollercoaster that I managed to get involved with everything that was happening DESPITE having been spoiled it all. I'm legit tempted to put Keiichi as one of my favorite VN protags just for his actions in this chapter. Without delving into it too much, the way he overcomes his problems with the SOLE POWER OF SPEAKING GOOD is so amazing that I genuinely idolize his rhetoric. So don't sleep on the VNs, even if you've watched the anime (which I didn't yet). They're freaking amazing.
It’s weird how they all become overwhelmed by paranoia whenever they feel immense guilt. First chapter keichii felt guilt when Rena mentioned him hiding secrets, third chapter keichii killed the uncle, blonde keichii killed the aunt, and Rena killed her stepmom. And the god (can’t remember her name) was always saying sorry as if guilty. I think that it’s a cool connection
mrguy22494 I mean, she's the series mascot for a reason. She's probably the fan favorite, and she definitely had the most work put into building her character.
seriously guys, no mention of Mion(you know the character who didn't go berserk and didn't kill anyone of her friends and always been a reliable leader in her club)... the only bad thing she did was the finger nail scene but she regrets it and did it to herself as well... other than that, you can't say any bad about her because she's one of the few people who didn't go on a killing spree like everyone of her friends did specially her twin sister Shion
The first OP is definitely a embodiment of higurashi but this is literally a OP after the bloodshed and whatnot, its god tier and its soothing as hell but the first one is just...yeah
One of my favorite mystery/horror stories with one of my favorite tragic villains. I'm looking forward to the remake but also worried that it might not have the same charm. I hope Passione doesn't mess it up. This series is very special to me.
@Викентий I guess you're asking about what my favorite animes are ...I love Sailor Moon, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Angel's Egg and Umineko (Ik it's a visual novel but it's still an anime sort of thing) As well as Attack on Titan and I have a soft spot for Madoka Magica. For now Sailor Moon and Umineko are my absolute favorites of all time!!
Este anime lo vi en verano un amigo me paso ambas temporadas que tengo bien resguardadas. ese verano fue muy caliente y cantaban mucho las cigarras. Nunca había disfrutado tanto un anime y eso que no es de mis favoritos
Z każdej serii ten op jest specyficzny dzieki wstępie... Uwielbiam ten psychiczny wstęp ktory powinien dłuższy być ;) i reszta tak pozytywna że nie idzie inaczej jej odbierać jako całości. .. ;)
I watched this anime in June 2020 and i really happy that i found it. This story is nit only about Horrors and Deaths, this story is about powerfull of friendship and love.
ive been watching many anime openings of animes i used to like about 5 years ago, ughh higurashi is something i grew up with tbh ngl it makes me so nostolgic
Right here i actually just finished the anime and daamnnnnnn did it essily become the best horror/mystery anime i've ever watched. Like holy shit this is another hidden gem and i'm glad i watched it.
I just finished the series today. Even though from what I've heard that it may not have explained like 1 to 2 things, I'd say that the show is overall around a 8.5 out of 10 for me. Easily in my top 10 because of how much intrigue it has and how you grow attached to the characters.
I haven't seen this anime, (only clips here and there) but listening to this song and reading the translated lyrics inspired and heavily influenced the plot of my horror/mystery/suspense book and i always go back to this song and I feel like I really owe this song
This remembers me how i watched it in a library with headphones. Just when i went away from home to work far away first didn't have a pc for 2 weeks, internet i didn't have those times so library was probably my only way of getting anime, when i got my pc it all went on a usb memory key and i watched it on my pc which i downloaded in the library. Good times lol. Got internet somewhere in october 2008

Yess...
I miss the old artstyle, especially of Keichii, don't care about what anyone says that the animation is "poor", it has its own charms❤
True. I don't understand why people hate the old art style, I think it's very cool
I loved it even the novel had a charming style
Keiichi's design feels very generic now...
Odd, because the original was seemingly built to be generic.
I find the OG one to be superior. The remake was bad tho like rika was supposed to be cute but in the gou she feels... older
I really like the new art style but, old art style was still amazing. not to mention keichii looked more like a man lolol

Dude higurashi ops literally NEVER get old.. its been a decade now and i still cant get over them
8 years ago..... nostalgia 😢
And now the memories are coming back to hunt you in the sequal...
i like how shion is hugging satako in the second picture
same
+ᖇYᙀᘜᙀ ᖇᙓᑎᗩ wasnt that the first one?
+alejandro cartes
First one, ep 20 afaik :P
Yeah, first season, I believe the fifth arc, maybe fourth.
+MovieStarAlert 1st season Eye Opener Episodes. God. I wanna rewatch it sometime. The answer arcs were so good...
I just want to forget the time the first time i watched the second season od higurashi, to watch it the first time again. God, that feeling will never come back tho .-.
Rewatching it just feels something else
True, I want to feel that again, it was so wonderfull
i watched this anime a long time ago and i dont remember that much so ill maybe re watch it later. I hope i still feel the same feeling
I know someone that forgets shows he's seen, he hates it but I'd love to be able to do that just to be able to rewatch many of the amazing animes out there, it just isn't the same watching when you know everything that will happen. :(
+alex b what if he forgot higurashi or even anime._.?
This is the anthem of HOPE. It sounds like you MUST NOT give up, and turn this bad situation around.
_sees the word "hope", remembers that one character with frontotemporal dementia that decided to bomb his school because his class was too depressed to take an exam_

This comment is bit cringe
when all the comments that used to be days and months old turn into 5 years+ old. Time flies
absolutely yes. i watched this in 2009 summer, then recommended to my friends... amazing, time flies... 12 years (!!!) has passed, but still a masterpiece.
It's rare to find an anime opening I can listen to again and again and again and NOT get tired of it. This is one of those.
Yea!

Out of range hahaa
Honeslty you can not compare it with other anime. It's on a whole different level. Everything is so amazingly done...a masterpiece. Only one problem though...i didn't like the second season as much as the first one, since it's not horror. But with time i grew to understand how important it is for the series to actually have a good ending and we can let higurashi as the series rest in our memories knowing it's one of the best shows from the 21 century AND MOST CERTAINLY THE BEST HORROR ANIME OF ALL TIME.

Best anime
One of the best animes. A must-watch. This song perfectly captures the theme of hope and the fighting spirit
HIGURASHI IS NOT JUST A HORROR ANIME
the ''creepy'' parts of this song are actually other parts of the song played backward.
One of the best anime i've watched as of late, I marathoned the whole show last month and it was a rewarding experience.
@Mistress Haruka i recommend shiki lul
I watched it all in 5 days xd
watching this show blind was one of the best decisions I've made as an anime fan
I miss the old animation of higurashi the old is way more cuter than now.
I love the harmonizing and instrumentals at 4:15
Same, its too beatiful
Trivia: the seemingly gibberish part of the song is actually the first OP vocal part reversed!!!
try reversing it in some website and ull see!
Phil Maqui which is a nice twist since this S2 focuses on reversing/preventing what happened in S1
Cool!!
Oh yeah!!
and when its reversed it translates to "nigerenai" which means "you can't run" / "you can't escape"
*evolution of a first time listener*
Stage one: hmmm not bad
Stage two: that beat...
Stage three: that beat!!!
Final stage: *replay button pressing intensifies*
Was it intentional that you matched the stages with the Hinamizawa Syndrome stages... o_O
what about the part the listener starts chanting along?
And then, u will also seen a Girl with horns.
Escape, escape,
from this sorrowful fate.
You are not a flower of Hell.
In that kind of place
Don't bloom there, don't bloom there
Don't let them ensnare you.
As a high school kid with back then not diagnosed adhd(Higurashi was/is still one my hyperfixations) and dealing with abuse at home(high school was still awesome time since I such awesome friends by my side ❤ no one into higurashi or even anime tho lol) this used to be one of my "hiding place" songs. When everything got too hard to deal with I would put my headphones and listen to this on repeat on a burned cd lol...
It somehow soothed me knowing I wasn't a flower of hell, naraku no hana...
I am 30 years old and I still love this song.
@@nirriii I can see that being sincere. I remember really loving both openings back when I watched this in highschool and it's very nice rediscovering this stuff

This is a spoiler for the 2020 version
@@TrizzyOTB She was in this situation since the beginning so it's not a spoiler.
Higurashi gave the adults of the show purpose, motives, and power, which is really nice.
0:52 i could listen to this part on repeat forever
God same!! But also the part after where Rena cries and the ding sound comes! The lycircs there are so beautiful.
yall wanna know what messes me up? one day no one is gonna remember this
this whole song for me is a time portal to late 2000's, when I first encountered this anime. I feel like she's telling me to escape the current moment and go back to where I belong, a place from a time past.
Oh my Hawn,
Higurashi is one of the animes that I want to forget, for watching it again, having the same experience than the first time I've seen it.
I want it too for Steins;Gate, Shiki and Umineko :c
I didn't like Umineko. I felt like it was a waste of my life. Apparently they continued on with the anime when they shouldn't have, so important plot points were accidentally left out. So I understand my logic there. I can see how it can be good though.
I see ! I didn't know about that. I gess the visual novel is better than the anime on that way !
NewStartHajime NSH I had no idea either. But given my bad experience with the anime, I could see it. I had trouble seeing where it was meant to be going, but granted the circumstances I guess I can see why.
+Se-chan Actually no. For a show that released long before the VN was actually finished, Umineko does a great job at keeping every major plot point in the first four chapters. It even manages to hint some points that weren't revealed until the very end of the book, which wasn't released until a while after the show was finished.
Most of the trouble Umineko had is because of the novel's length and a few stylistic choices that had resulted from that. For instance, the size of the roster. It's really hard to develop that many characters in the span of 26 episodes, and while Umineko managed to develop everyone's established favorites, most of the others fell by the wayside.
Sam Geuvenen Fair enough, most of this is just what I've been told by people who have played/read the other mediums the story has been created in. While I have an intention to read the manga, I haven't made a start yet.
I'm very understanding of the difficulties the adaption had, and how you put it certainly puts a number of my problems into perspective. Still, because of those problems, I wouldn't run off and recommend the anime to people. All I'd recommend would be its music since I'm entirely fond of that.
Seeing how long ago some of my favorite animes were released gives me a sense of nostalgia that physically hurts
of all the animes I've watched nothing can top Higurashi for me personally... NI PAAA ^_^
same*^*
superannoyinghulk I am with you nii nii
same its so brutal, real and you connect with the pain of the characters. Its heartbreaking to see them be in this situation, i love it so much.
Agree. Though I just recently watched Steins Gate and it's pretty good. I don't think anything will ever top Higurashi though, everything was excellent in it.
Exactly !!! :D
What can I say I watched this anime 6 years ago and still remember the emotional journey I was on. The true fear pain and hopelessness conveyed in some of the scenes, the strengths of watching others overcome obstacles, and even the failures which made the finale feel genuine and not phoned in unlike so many other animes. I remember the anger I felt (I heard this was also a visual novel and sure as hell felt like I was in there). Whenever I mention my favorite anime this and Steins Gate are ones I never forget to mention. I warn people every time the art is deceptive as this anime is another journey and while dark it feels like a genuine experience and has some strong lessons. Sorry for my spiel Ill always love this anime. Hauuuuuu.
HigurashI really made people can't help to remember it. It will be glad to see even 10ys later ppl can still watch it over and over again. Thanks for your genuine words!
Sadly you didn't play VN as I suppose, you would be really impressed then.
Anyone from the old days of this show around? I still come back to this in 2024, this transcend times and well over a decade+..
I regret not watching the original when I had the chance, I've heard great things about it and the plot intrigues me. I tried watching it once and only got an ep or two in sadly before they foolishly pulled all footage of the original and replaced it with Gou. I really wish I could watch the original, but even pirated versions are hard to come by these days. Seriously, they're sitting on a goldmine here, if they only re-released it as a DVD set or something. Idiots.
途切れる音が凄く好き。
I miss this show so much
a true masterpiece in my eyes it doesn't get boring or predictable and always manages to get under your skin
How did I just NOW notice the hands in the background of this art after years of listening to this. Gave me chills!
Best Higurashi Opening
Also one of the best Anime out there.
If you are familliar with Visual novels
This Anime is the reason to save often and in different savegames.
How to listen to this:
1. Wear your headphones
2. Play this opening
3. Close your eyes
4. Enjoy
After that while listening to this I had a feeling that I'm from Hinamizawa and I'm Higurashi character. Or there's something wrong with me 😂
Otaku Anime you forgot "5. Beat your head against a knife over and over again" xD
MrsMortalLove sorry xD
Naraku no Hana Alomg with 3 imagine this opening but with other characters.
I love how your name is the song name 😂 and I love your profile pic 😘
u sick lol
It made me sad as I found out how many times Rika died in 100 years...
+A9HirotoPon fucking spoilers bloody hell
***** You know... it's kind of unexpected to find spoilers pertaining to the story of an anime on a video showcasing the opening. Regardless, the spoiler wasn't that bad and I've moved on.
I'll just recommend, anything anywhere about a series will have spoilers, so if you haven't finished it, or watched it yet, just don't ever go near it. As much as there will be people thinking there logically won't be spoilers, there'll be just as many people thinking logically that everyone here has finished the story.I know it's a late reply, but it's a recommendation worth given, since I would have greatly appreciated it in the past.
Oh yeah. Isn't Rika one of the "doomed" characters?
@@NEETKitten mhm
I watched this anime like a month or so but still I can't get it out of my head. I'm not an anime person but after I watched Death Note (the only anime/manga I liked) I wanted to try more of this genre and then I found this series. It was by far one of the best stories I had the pleasure to watch. The characters, the storyline, the music, THE VILLAIN, they all are excelent. I wish I has the opportunity to watch this for the first time again.
yeah same, Higurashi along with Elfen Lied were the first animes i've ever watched and they are what made me love how anime is able to tell stories, build characters and show emotions in a way you could never archieve in a real life counterpart.
Try reading Umineko, it's from the same guy who wrote Higurashi. I guarantee you won't be disappointed. You'll get even better experience if you read "And Then There Were None", but it's not necessary
.
Try watching "Dusk maiden of amnesia". It's awesome.
Beautiful song, but doesn't prepare you AT ALL for what your about to watch
If you can understand the lyrics, you'll see how much this does prepare you. This song is pretty sad, and Kai was a pretty sad season.
Yeah this song is about a flower in he'll which is purely metaphorical of course. Its like a child having a terrible destiny and they are trying to break out of their fate
Hell I meant
Honestly I think this opening prepares you a lot for the second season, since it wasn't like the first season at all. The second season really focuses more on solving the events in the first season and is a lot more drama and mystery oriented. The scary elements was almost completely gone after the first season.
The best opening of all time in my book.
t's amazing how even after years this anime is still one of my favorites, one of the biggest things that exists in it is precisely the songs, this song in question if you analyze beyond the supernatural point of the anime, it seems to portray abusive homes, practically as an incentive for these traumatized children not to become like those who have hurt them
yep and by the way I like it how you is still here 2019 listening to this giving you back chilling memories. *NOSTALGIC*
Anime beautiful, mysterious and amazing ... I love higurashi *-
I remeber watching this opening of My little Pony when I was 8 years old XD but when I was 11 I had come back watch the My little pony and original version again and then I got into this anime. Now I'm 14 years old I like to listen to this opening again and watching 2020 version.
When i was watching higurashi no naku koro ni gou 2020 episode 1 and man that gave me the best chills in forever i exactly knew i was in the right place again watching this show truly gives me more hope for the future. Too Good.
Still my favorite in 2017, nothing comes close to the emotions i went through watching the second season of Higurashi, the struggle, the fate they cannot change is just out of this world. Such a masterpiece
Still my favorite in 2021 now with a 4th season airing. Different studio but same chills
this opening is so good. Brings back memories
Ok, just here to tell people to GO READ THE OG VN, or at least just Minagoroshi (ch.7).
I barely exaggerate when I say how much I love this series, and Minagoroshi in particular is such an emotional rollercoaster that I managed to get involved with everything that was happening DESPITE having been spoiled it all. I'm legit tempted to put Keiichi as one of my favorite VN protags just for his actions in this chapter. Without delving into it too much, the way he overcomes his problems with the SOLE POWER OF SPEAKING GOOD is so amazing that I genuinely idolize his rhetoric.
So don't sleep on the VNs, even if you've watched the anime (which I didn't yet). They're freaking amazing.
2:50 gives me goosebumps
Ojalá volvieran esté tipo de openings con sintetizadores que te provocan escalofríos de la nostalgia. Nunca se olvidan 😢
I can not believe that I watched this anime almost 11 years ago. It hits hard in my Kokoro.
It’s weird how they all become overwhelmed by paranoia whenever they feel immense guilt. First chapter keichii felt guilt when Rena mentioned him hiding secrets, third chapter keichii killed the uncle, blonde keichii killed the aunt, and Rena killed her stepmom. And the god (can’t remember her name) was always saying sorry as if guilty. I think that it’s a cool connection
You mean Satoshi?
blonde keiichi lmao
@@6s166 I mean they aren't wrong-
Always loved this song. The music is actually what got me into higurashi anime, manga, and games!
aaaaaaaahh this brings back memories. i loved this song so much
Call me a moron... But to me personally Rena actually makes me feel the most.
mrguy22494 I mean, she's the series mascot for a reason. She's probably the fan favorite, and she definitely had the most work put into building her character.
Yuki Tomoe What I mean is that her character is by far the most distinct, and her personality is more reinforced than anyone else.
seriously guys, no mention of Mion(you know the character who didn't go berserk and didn't kill anyone of her friends and always been a reliable leader in her club)... the only bad thing she did was the finger nail scene but she regrets it and did it to herself as well... other than that, you can't say any bad about her because she's one of the few people who didn't go on a killing spree like everyone of her friends did specially her twin sister Shion
Alexis Cando true lol
mrguy22494 s a m e
The first OP is definitely a embodiment of higurashi but this is literally a OP after the bloodshed and whatnot, its god tier and its soothing as hell but the first one is just...yeah
I really like this opening.
Me too and your profile pic is creepy
This was easily the best intro. I usually skip op's but this one hit different.
One of my favorite mystery/horror stories with one of my favorite tragic villains. I'm looking forward to the remake but also worried that it might not have the same charm. I hope Passione doesn't mess it up. This series is very special to me.
My favorite anime of all times
Heryvia true
Yeah
True
@Викентий I acknowledge you have good taste!! **Cackle**
@Викентий I guess you're asking about what my favorite animes are ...I love Sailor Moon, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Angel's Egg and Umineko (Ik it's a visual novel but it's still an anime sort of thing) As well as Attack on Titan and I have a soft spot for Madoka Magica. For now Sailor Moon and Umineko are my absolute favorites of all time!!
Este anime lo vi en verano un amigo me paso ambas temporadas que tengo bien resguardadas. ese verano fue muy caliente y cantaban mucho las cigarras.
Nunca había disfrutado tanto un anime y eso que no es de mis favoritos

One of the best horror anime and opening
I really like this song. Creepy series, beautiful song!
"the second season can't be better than the first one"
higurashi no naku koro ni: hold my illness
hold my -curse- -worms- -aliens- mental illness
tbh felt like s1 was kinda better
Z każdej serii ten op jest specyficzny dzieki wstępie... Uwielbiam ten psychiczny wstęp ktory powinien dłuższy być ;) i reszta tak pozytywna że nie idzie inaczej jej odbierać jako całości. .. ;)
this is actually the "kai" or "answer" arc opening tho...
Kai was a sequel to the first one though so it kind of fits
I watched this anime in June 2020 and i really happy that i found it. This story is nit only about Horrors and Deaths, this story is about powerfull of friendship and love.
The theme song for the first season was miles better, but this definitely isn't bad. It fits the mood and tone of the second season quite well.
where do i find this? i only can find up to 26!
I can't remember where I found the second season. I'm fairly certain that I got it from Pirate Bay a couple years ago.

My favorite anime of all time! I want to cry ... This was the first anime I watched.
I just finished the series today. Even though from what I've heard that it may not have explained like 1 to 2 things, I'd say that the show is overall around a 8.5 out of 10 for me. Easily in my top 10 because of how much intrigue it has and how you grow attached to the characters.
The older OP's just hit so different!

Man, i wanna experience this for the first time again.
I think this is better than 1op

No, the 1op is better than this 2op
They're the same
I love them both.

masterpiece anime , masterpiece song!!
I haven't seen this anime, (only clips here and there) but listening to this song and reading the translated lyrics inspired and heavily influenced the plot of my horror/mystery/suspense book and i always go back to this song and I feel like I really owe this song
You can get the games on steam
But the question is...
Did you watch it?
It's 2017 and this is still my #1 favorite anime ever :') miss the old days
One of the most awesome anime ever created
gives me kingdom hearts vibes. easily one of my fav ops

This remembers me how i watched it in a library with headphones. Just when i went away from home to work far away first didn't have a pc for 2 weeks, internet i didn't have those times so library was probably my only way of getting anime, when i got my pc it all went on a usb memory key and i watched it on my pc which i downloaded in the library. Good times lol.
