| Well, it’s finally here! Guess the 30+ episode mark did end up being true, albeit in a slightly different sense. |

Xsadersadd said: So they couldn't raise enough money for Ciconia phase 2 from 1 season + a gacha game, they had to ruin the series even more. You say that like this hasn't already been rumored for months. Regardless of your personal opinion on the quality of Gou as a series it clearly isn't over yet, the story could not possibly wrap up in 24 as is. So duh there's going to be more of it, it isn't finished. |
| Let's go Higurashi SOTSU... I knew it after watching Episode 23, there is no way they gonna end the series in one more episode... |

| Let's goooo! Can't wait honestly, Gou has been fantastic Scordolo said: Didn't expect a second season judging from the reactions of the fans. MAL doesn't like it, most fans do like it The people that don't like it are very vocal about it, but go to reddit or anywhere else and you'll see that people really like it |
 |
| So 24 + atleast 12 eps (36 eps, 3 cour), or even more? |

Scordolo said: Didn't expect a second season judging from the reactions of the fans. That's just the vocal minority. MAL culture is generally very negative. Honestly Higurashi is more popular now than it has ever been. |

| Let's fucking go! So the Sotsu leaks back then were actually true, we just didn't know when it's gonna be. |
 |
| We've been expecting so for a while. 4 months or so to Sotsu. Darn. I have exams coming in August. |
| Alright this is refreshing to know that When They Cry will continue, and we're not gonna wait that long for that package since we're only gonna wait for the Spring season to pass along. Now Gou means Karma. And Sotsu means Graduation. So who knows what Sotsu will bring to us, but aside from that I am excited for more Higurashi this year. |

| Nice, can't wait. |
 |
YES, I have been waiting for this  |
 |
| Unsure what the SOTSU stands for, but even after watching the original Higurashi five years ago, I do quite like GOU. the start was sketchy, but bearable enough to watch. later episodes improved. From a British guy. |
| The line below is True. The line above is False. |
| LETS GOOO. Knew they couldn’t wrap everything up in Gou. I’ve enjoyed Gou a LOT more than the original. The new art, direction etc. |

| Fantastic news!!! |
| Nice, so it's not Gou being 30+ eps, but a sequel just with one season gap, nice! Can't wait for Summer 2021! |
 |
| sotsugyou - graduation In my opinion, it could refer to that everyone(including Rika and Satoko) can truly escape(graduation) from the time loop. |

| Also has been. The title has been flowing around for months, along with the TV schedule hiccups, there shouldn't had be any doubt already since a long time ago. |
garyborken said: Also has been. The title has been flowing around for months, along with the TV schedule hiccups, there shouldn't had be any doubt already since a long time ago. What I'm wondering about, is what was the deal with the TV schedule listing that the episodes would keep going when in reality the next season wont air until july. I can only rationalize it as a massive fuckup due to poor communication. But maybe it was originally intended to air continually but plans were dropped? I find it very strange tbh. It's also worth considering that Higurashi Gou's air date was postponed, with the reason given siting the pandemic. I just find the whole situation highly unconventional. |

| It's kinda obvious this was planned from the start, they just couldn't do everything without a 3-month break, they had to split to prevent the production from falling apart (Passione is not a big studio and it was already 24 episodes, I bet the pre-production wasn't the best either so ofc they couldn't do more than 24 episodes without having a break, which for them isn't really a break, they keep doing their job without stopping lol). There's no way they would, half way, "Oh, this is popular, let's keep going", like, think people. |

| Sigh....lets see what new bs sotsu will bring. sarazanmai said: Emillian said: In Japan it did go trending many times by now.

sarazanmai said: Emillian said: In Japan it did go trending many times by now. Japanese people are very satisfied with it and thats all that matters for the producers. 1000 sold BDs does not indicate fans are "very satisfied". BD sales are nearly irrelevant ever since like, 2015. Streaming services are vastly more profitable than it, and singlehandedly broke the way how physical sales basically dictated the success of a work. Most BD sales nowadays are solely linked to event tickets and limited release goods, like the very expensive one for Gou Vol1 that included a Rena figure, which is the one you are mentioning right now. Higurashi Gou is always on the top 5 for the most viewed anime in its main streaming website in Japan (above a big shot Jump series like Dr Stone and even Re Zero Season 2 part 2). And always around that successful in chinese streaming sites as well. And mind you, most impressions are positive. It's doing great (even first place trending several times in Japanese Twitter), and so is the gacha game that released with Gou and is likely increasing the profit by a lot, since that's gacha for you. Seeing the guild events in-game would let you know just how freaking many active players there are for it. |

| Yeah, Gou not having sequel wouldn't be satisfying so i'm okay with this. |

The sales were from the first episodes which were just the old anime but remade The hype started around episode 14-15 and forward many episodes reaching trending in Japan many times. |

| Sotsu/Gou (Graduation) Looking forward for this ๐ |
| Wondering how many episodes it will be, because I think I'll stick with binge watching for the new season. Watching up to the "villages-destroying" chapter in one go felt better than watching it weekly from that point on. Not that watching weekly gave me a bad experience, but I think I somehow wasted a better experience by coming back weekly to it and lose the momentun (of reveals for example). I'm definitely hyped and Ryukishi is a genius! |
