There comes a time when expectation are put down heavily. This arc of Higurashi being a heavy case as I originally had not cared for it much in the anime, have now loved it more than the first arc adaption of how well the pieces, and bonuses fit together.
Story - For the anime fans who have already seen this: There is actual more material that is covered that the company DEEN left out that would perk your ears.
To the manga fans: If you like the first arc storyline adaption then you'll love this even more of how well is just clusterf**ks you in the

Higurashi is one of my favorite anime series, but that doesn't mean I love all of it, and Tatarigoroshi-hen is probably the arc I disliked most while watching the anime. One of the reasons for this may have been that it focuses on Satoko, who I find annoying, but... Que sera sera. I still say that from what I've read and watched, it's my least favorite, but the manga adaptation of this definetely made me hate it less.
The story of this arc is a simple one on the surface, but it gets more complicated as it progresses. Out of the question arcs the series has, ...

And now, my review of the third Higurashi arc. Please note that this is the last arc I have read; I currently know nothing about Higurashi beyond this point.
Story: It's summer of 1983 . . . and this is also starting just like the other arcs, almost as if they were all separate canons almost . . . well, Keiichi and his family move in, he gets along with some girls, they have wacky hijinx, but then he learns about Oyashiro-sama's Curse. Not only that, he learns that Satoko, one of his friends, lives under the thumb of an abusive uncle, and yet, she doesn't do ...

This is my review for Higurashi no naku koro ni; Curse Killined Arc.
Pros: Still as bloody as the other ones. Very in depth, i prefer this one over the animated arc It adds a new part of the curse into the story and i love that Cons: Takes a while to pick up (The entire first part of the arc is mostly talking and building up to the amazing second arc) Something i didn't expect happened, but it wasn't given an explanation to it. (hopefully higurashi no naku koro ni kai will clear that part up). ...

Disappointing -- the best word to describe Tatarigoroshi-hen...
Overall, it's a 6 for me... I was not into this 3rd Higurashi installment... I was anxious about how it will end, yes... I was thinking that maybe it would have a great twist and an unforgettable ending like the first 2 but sadly I was mistaken... Story started off well enough, it was fast and had a different flow to it... but then I found it to be boring since it became too dramatic... I mean, good that the story now focused on Satoko and Keichi but it was too melodramatic for me... predictable even... Maybe I was ...

By far the best question arc. Not only does it serve the best questions, it also has the best story. The story had no boring points whatsoever, the slice of life was not dragged on, and was actually important to the story. Seeing Keiichi slowly going insane as more and more contradictions build up, while seeing Satoko in more pain each second, truly showed us how depressing Higurashi can be. Characters were great as well. I loved that Satoko got the spotlight for once, and i loved keiichis realism in this arc.
Overall, a very good experience for a Higurashi question arc. Most definitely recommended ...

At this point in Higurashi, Keiichi is really starting to piss me off as the main character, Keiichi being paranoid for almost six volumes gets old, and he really goes insane in this arc.
I really liked how Satoko finally got an arc to herself, she is probably the least focused on main Higurashi character in the series. This arc focuses on a real issue in life, and that is child abuse, everyone wants to save Satoko and there was a point when Keiichi was argueing with Mion and it was like, DUDE YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS! ... |
