SHION HIGURASHI SERIES

Very much like the endless loops, the idea of a sequel to a beloved property has never been successful. Higurashi is a beloved and popular anime series, which means any attempt to cash in on a sequel wasn’t going to work. I will say that I have not been surprised at the reception towards this series. I’m glad I did, because while we briefly discussed this last time, we can now really dig into it with everything said and done. I knew once SOTSU and the Higurashi sequel as a whole finished up, we would return to this topic once more. Thanks for having me back once again Zen. I do not mind admitting that, this time around, I’ve actually got no idea where things will begin: Dewbond, it’s great to have you back, and I turn the floor over to you! I thus welcome Dewbond of Shallow Dives in Anime back for our latest collaborative discussion. Within minutes of finishing SOTSU, it became clear to me that to tackle the topic of these Higurashi sequels, it would be wise to get another set of eyes on things. Before Dewbond and I continue with our party, I will stop to briefly mention that five years ago to this day, I convocated from graduate school to earn my Master’s of Science in Computer Science. While our conversation this time around might not be as lengthy as some of our previous collaborations, I’m certain readers will find things interesting. These discussions are always enjoyable, and it is fantastic to be able to get a fresh set of eyes on things.

This latest collaboration between Dewbond and myself actually began during the Canadian Thanksgiving Long Weekend, a short ways after SOTSU drew to a close.This is a rather expansive topic, and certainly one that I am not going to be capable of adequately answering on my own. Viewers were even more surprised with the directions and outcomes that GOU and SOTSU have taken – the results were widely deemed unsatisfactory, and in the aftermath, some viewers raised the question of whether or not GOU and SOTSU should have even existed to begin with.

Higurashi and its sequel, KAI, had decisively wrapped up the series in 2007, so to see a sequel series appear some thirteen years after the originals had ended was a bit of a surprise. Now armed with the power of the gods, to live in loops, Satoko returns to old timelines and digs up old fights with the singular pursuit of utterly crushing Rika’s spirit. Upon coming upon the ceremonial shed behind the temple, Satoko finds herself transported into another dimension and determines that she would very much like to take a shot at changing things in her favour. Lucia were met with failure: on a reunion trip to Hinamizawa to meet up with Keiichi, Rena and Mion, Satoko declines an invite to go to dinner with the others, and instead, wanders the village, which is slowly changing as a sign of the times. It is also later revealed in the second season of the show that Satoshi didn’t vanish really, the families took him underground and put him into a coma so that the syndrome didn’t claim his life.“If you’re wondering what I mean by ‘miracle’, it’s simple: a miracle is a shift in perspective from fear to love.” –Gabrielle BernsteinĢ020’s Higurashi GOU and this year’s Higurashi SOTSU very quickly became entangled in controversy after revealing that Satoko had been the architect of Rika’s renewed suffering after her efforts to fit into life at St. This is shown through both of the arcs when Shion is affected by the syndrome, the latter of the arcs being her point of view. Shion fell in love with Satoshi Hojo and blames the The Families of Hinamizawa for his disappearance. Shion and Mion still maintain a close relationship despite all of this. She escaped however and returned to her home town living with Kasai even though she knows its against the wishes of her family. Shion was sent, by the Sonozaki family, to a private boarding school. After the massive switch Shion and Mion permanently took over each others identities. They’ve done this from a very young age which led to Shion being mistaken for Mion and passed up as next in line for family leadership. Shion and her sister often switch places sometimes making it rather difficult to tell the difference between the two. She currently resides in Okinomiya rather than Hinamizawa.
