The (not BL but) Anime Thread

[Kreekakon]

BTW I just finished the entire first season of Higurashi, and am now slowly working on Kai.

All I have to say is that this show is really just amazing. I have to say that this show is really one you have to endure through in the earlier stages, but once you really get rolling your can really feel the despair of the whole situation, and really admire what this show has to offer.

I think two of the main reasons this show succeeds so well is one: it constantly has a hauntingly mysterious atmosphere about the show. You will NEVER know for sure seemingly what is the true culprit, and whether there really is something super-natural, or not. The level of execution it takes this self interpretation to is really something.

That brings me into reason two. The show has a lot of subtle happening,s and showcases a lot of the "Show, don't tell" of storytelling. Noticing all these subtle details, and slowly piecing together what you find out VERRRRY slowly from each arc is one of the most satisfying things the show has to offer EVEN without a definite answer at the end of season 1.

Long story short: Awesome.
