Higurashi When They Cry is a Japanese anime television series based on Ryukishi07's visual novel series. However, the character refuses to give her name, takes on the name " Eua" based on Satoko's stammers, and as described in her page, Ryukushi07 thus far refuses to confirm that they are the same.When They Cry volume one DVD cover by Geneon. With the cameo appearance of Featherine Augustus Aurora in the opening then in the later episodes suggests that the series directly connects Higurashi no Naku Koro ni with Ryukishi07's other work, Umineko no Naku Koro ni. The new anime is in fact a sequel to the original series and acts as a third series. She is Eua, and it is her face that evilly smiles. After some "flaws," a hand, presumably Rika's, reaches to take it.Įpisode 21 reveals that there was a figure kneeling in the Saiguden. Lucia Academy, the top of a khakkahara, and a shard on the shrine floor.
Quick flashes of a light outside the home Rika and Satoko share, phone on a nightstand, a wrecked car in the dump, the water wheel, the tori of the shrine, guard rails in Okinomiya, grass near the river, a clinic bed, the Child Welfare Office, the shoe lockers, a geisha doll in a case, next to a similarly encased Victorian doll, on a bookshelf, outside St. There is a flash over of two streams of blood. She blinks and the reflection of two hands reaching out to her are seen. The door open with bright light and fingers emerging. She reaches out and the angle changes to reveal that she is reaching for the door of the shrine. Rika continues running in panic looking up at the viewer. A panicked Rika runs through the forest up a hill. A silhouette of a female head with a red crescent appearing like a smile. A pan of the ritual torture implements in the Saiguden. Quick flashes of Rena's blood-splattered axe on the ground with a pool of blood near it, the torture room in the Sonozaki Home, blood flowing in the water over stones, a tunnel that descends. Hanyū kneels in the Shrine looking outside and up at the sky. A probable older Satoko pulls off her uniform tie from her shirt. In a decorative basin, water flows down into it, but the flow is depicted as if the "film" moves forward, then in reverse. Oyashiro- sama's statue in the Saiguden with both hands intact. A flower has fallen on the table that holds the vase. Rika and Satoko stand alone in the classroom with their backs turned to one another. Shion holds her taser, and Mion holds her airsoft gun. Shion and Mion sit on a table in a traditional room back to back with dejected expressions. Rena stands, also dramatically in the wind, in the dump with her axe. Keiichi stands dramatically in the wind outside the school with Satoshi's bat. Quick flashes of Satoshi's bat in his locker, Rena's axe lying on corrugated metal in the dump, Mion's airsoft gun on a shelf with gun oil nearby, Shion's taser on a windowsill, and a small stuffed bear sits on one of the classroom's desks. The scenes are created as if filmed on a hand camera with flaws and shaking. There are actually two versions where in the second an obscure figure is revealed in Episode 21. The series' opening song is " I believe is what you said" by Asaka, while the ending theme's are " God's Syndrome" and " Irregular Entropy" by Ayane.
