Hope this is the right place to post this.
Dear moderators, I'd like to request to update the General Information section of this anime to add one more theme: Time Travel. Even though in first few episodes it positions itself as a Slice of Life, the Time Travel theme kicks in around the same time Psychology theme does. The narrative structure of restarting the timeline in each arc and showing how events would have played out under different circumstances is the definition of Time Travel imho. I would even argue that mentioning this theme would help people, that are lost after 3rd episode, to grasp the situation and continue watching rather than questioning "why the hell anime is randomly showing same events again?".

If I were looking for an anime with a good

plot in the Anime Search, Higurashi would definitely be something that I would like to see in the list. Currently this theme has very few linked titles which may be in part because animes like Higurashi are not actively classified as such. If even _this_ does not classify as a time travel, then what does? =D

I don't think it's about keeping people unspoiled, Gakkougurashi! has its twist spoiled in its genres/themes. Higurashi is

There’s 2 issues with this:
1. It is not so much time traveling as it is parallel universes. Keiichi’s recollection is a fine example of this.

2. Adding the tag would serve as a hint that could potentially ruin the surprise of the story.
