| There are still people unironically thinking that this is a remake. They are confused because they did not watched DEEN series. |
 |
| Same here. I like the artstyle and it still feels like Higurashi to me. Not to mention the new development going on |
ChaosPH said: In short, the score keeps dropping because more people are seeing this.Why the hell is the ratings dropping? The anime is getting intense/thrilling each episodes releases... Are there still people who expects this is a remake? Are there still people disappointed at the art style (It feels that it fits more and more as each episodes releases)? I do not really want to mind the ratings of this anime but it is bugging me tbh... Intense/Thrilling? well that's subjective. People still thinking this is remake? I guess there's some of those ignorant people who didn't listen to anyone not so ignorant. Art style may have become marginally better and we might have grown used to it, doesn't mean it suddenly becomes good and we start liking it. And those mentioned above are the least of GOU's problems. I don't really want to mind the ratings either, but what is "bugging me" is that this is so overrated. |

| It is going down because anyone who isnt watching for the gore and cheap jumpscare or twist can tell that the story is a pile of crap that makes the old seasons pointless. |
| If there are people like me who'll rate it really badly, but don't want to score an ongoing show, I think it tends to get worse. I doesn't matter what answers we'd get back then, Higurashi didn't need a sequel in the first place. They could've focused on adapting other arcs, but considering the garbage quality of Passione, I'm glad the side stories are unharmed. After it's all over we can pretend Gou never existed. |

| I'm a seasoned Higu vet anddddd honestly I have no idea what I'll end up rating this. I kind of like it but I kind of hate it. What's been very clear for a while now is that Gou has absolutely nothing on the original story. Even the 2006 anime is definitively a much better, more cohesive, better directed experience. Still better than Outbreak. |

Still better than Outbreak. Outbreak was good in Hou, the adaptation not so much. I've rated Gou at an 5 for now because it's in the not bad but not category for me. Kinda Mediocre. I'll look back and rate it once it ends but I myself am not sure what to rate it. Meanwhile there are folks who've added +1 to their score just because we saw 5 seconds of Featherine. |
| The reason why it’s dropping is because ever since higurashi got adapted by passione it has mostly lost its spooky vibe that you feel in the deen version, passione makes them look way to childish while even though the deen version is old and looks bad that’s the point , that’s what makes it more better and more enjoyable. |

Rixtertrixter said: To all the people claiming to higurashi veterans here, GOU is: 1) fanservice for the OG fans who have watched umineko as well 2) GOU doesn’t make sense to a lot of people and they don’t like it even though they have watched the OG series because THIS IS CLEARLY MADE FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE READ/PLAYED THROUGH UMINEKO This season will not make any sense if you are not familiar with umineko no naku koro ni because it contains many references and a character from the umineko series which to the REAL 07th expansion fans is pure delight 1) Then it is pretty bad fanservice 2)You dont need umineko to understand any of this. |
| Nah, the fanservice is great IMO. But yeah, Umineko has absolutely nothing to do with Gou. |
| Don't mind it .. as long as we enjoyed it .. that's all matter... If they dropped this, is their loses... |

I didn't even know about the DEEN series until I watched a dozen or so episodes of the current airing version. I'm still watching it, though, and I definitely have to backtrack and watch the prior stuff to get more out of the story. After you watch the Anime(Original, Kai, Rei). If you want more information and more Higurashi content you should give the console arcs a try. These delve into alternate endings (in my opinion a more satisfying one than what you get in Kai) and the pasts of Rena, Hanyuu and so on. A side story with its own set of characters taking place after the events of the Hinamaizawa Disaster. https://github.com/07th-mod/higurashi-console-arcs Miotsukushi is an arc that all Higurashi fans should experience. I really recommend you give it a try if you can. |

| MAL, for whatever reason, has a lot of people who hate Gou. Probably because the show is for Chads and they aren't Chads. I recommend Higu groups on other platforms, they are generally very positive towards it. The only other platform I've seen negative is Twitter, and they are more 50/50. Then again, in general, I wouldn't take MAL scores too seriously considering its had FMAB as the #1 anime for years. |
 |
| Because it's a crappy squeal, that doesn't even need to exist, for midwits who somehow think this story is good. Everything about this show has either mad me angry or just laugh at how bad it is. Especially these latest episodes. I wish the show was just a more faithful adaptation of the vn then maybe it might have been good. |
| Now, count up your sins! |
| Because it's garbage. The last few eps have been at least somewhat entertaining, but still not good, and even that would not excuse the many completely wasted episodes that didn't contribute anything. |
| Well, it has been quite the dragging and tiring journey so far, and even if it hints at a good story, the presentation and narration themselves aren't something to be proud of. This is the first time something associated with Ryu is actively disappointing me, but I will still cling on to the faint hope that the resolution of the story will be magnificent. Don't care about ratings dropping, even for my favorite series. |

| Ratings are dropping because it's cool to hate things. Doesn't go deeper than that. |
| Rating is dropping cause it's shit. As easy as that. |
 |
| Because it fooled ppl telling them that it's ok to watch this without watching the DEEN one first, but everything that happens on screen is made to appeal people that did watch the OG. There are many points that are not explained in this Higurashi that are key to the story, and newcomers will fail to understand what the heck is going on. In the other hand, fans of the OG don't like this either because everything that happens is pointless. They could just skip everything and start from last arc. |
 |
| Not surprising. MAL doesn't like to use their brains + hidden treasures are usually in the 6-7 range. Gou also has to wait for users who don't rate until it's over. Not sure how I'll be doing it yet. |
| Simple, it's bad and many people don't like it. If you feel the opposite, then good for you. Who cares about the rating, especially on MAL of all places. |
LARGEWOOD said: The genius mastermind got the answer. People judged the anime by his presentation picture and expected a happy SoL, just like many other anime like Happy Sugar Life and School Days. Remember "don't judge a book by his cover" ? That's pretty much the same thing here. "Why is the old Higurashi rated better then ?" MyAnimeList wasn't that popular or even existed back then, today people just get on the front page of MAL in search of a new anime, sees this happy-looking SoL type anime because of the picture and get disappointed when they find murder and what not, then proceed to give a shit rating. I don't even understand how people can rate an anime that didn't even finished airing anyways. Honestly if they added more fanservice and ecchi scenes the rating would be at 8 minimum because of how much coomers teenagers there are on MAL. The only arguments i've seen from people who apparently watched the previous seasons is "it's not the same" "it changed" well of course it changed, the story is finally moving forward, do we need another 500 episodes of speculating and still not knowing what exactly is going on ? If you don't like story development then go watch One Piece or something like that. Amazing how wrong all of this is. |

LARGEWOOD said: Vell- said: Your first point is a completely baseless assumption. At no point would anyone ever think this particular entry in the series was supposed to be some slice of life moe stuff, regardless of prior knowledge of the series. It was marketed from the very beginning as a gory horror type of thing in its trailers. Besides that, higurashi has had the reputation of being a horror mystery story for almost two decades now. The original adaption was one of those anime shows that defined its era and its reputation will surely have stuck around even to this day. The darker tone of the series has shown itself in the very first episode of this anime already too. There is nothing that would suggest people rate it low because they had wrong expectations of its genre and intend. Those people surely exist, but they can only be a very small minority. The other point about people rating it low just because there were changes or because its different is also an argument that never holds up when things like this happen where reboots, sequels or remakes are being put out of a previously established and well beloved franchise. People dont take issue with changes or things being different itself, its the execution that matters. If every change is just strictly for the worse, then there is every reason to criticise those changes. This is also not an anime that is moving the original story forward in any way. The original story was finished, it had an ending, it never needed a sequel. Yet it was decided there should be one. Writing sequels to an already completed story is always a difficult task because it better justifies itself existing by improving on the themes and messages of the original or adding onto the original experience. If you dont accomplish that then a sequel has no reason to exist other than to make money off of an established franchise, and many people dont feel like this sequel does justice to the original in many ways. Thats it. That's your opinion. For the sequel part, no, i don't feel like it was finished, there would still be some unanswered things, that's maybe fine for you but imo i want to know everything about the story, i don't like being left with questions. Well that's you opinion pal. The fact is the second season answered everything that had to be answered. If you want an anime to give answers to the most mundane things that's your own problem. Gou is certainly NOT answering any lingering questions Higurashi Kai or Rei left open. |

That's your opinion indeed, i found Gou covering interesting stuff and extending the story pretty well. If you don't agree with it, well, i couldn't care less. You made two giant paragraphs on how it is the fault of the original's structure or the new viewer who does not get his fanservice, so it is very clear that you care. But sure, it is just your opinion. Opinions can be wrong you know. |
