| I don't want to slap the everliving fuck out of Keiichi, so we're already off to a great start. |
| That was a great first episode. Similar yet different. What the hell was with that closing scene? I didn’t see that coming at all. Unexpectedly good opening song, that even I know the words to. We’ve got real potential here. |
| When they cry. The fans. Tears of joy. Today. |
 |
| Passione's work is a lot better than the original work by Deen. But that sort of makes me nervous for the horror visually. But Overall, I would say that even after watching the episode 1 of original many times, i would say this was a bit scarier. Passione nailed The direction and pacing. And Boii I was nervous what would they do for the opening, BUT THE MADLADS DID IT. THEY BROUGHT THE OP BACK. I was literally losing my Sh*t in the end when they played it. Amazing re-adaptation. Really excited Also technically, My OP of the year (i know its kinda cheating but whatever) |
 |
| those damn loud cicadas, its great to be back in hinamizawa. when keiichi found that magazine in the trash pile and the old higurashi opening started playing i felt a huge burst of nostalgia. cant wait for the next episode nippaaaah! |
 |
| It looks like a lot of visual novel readers are pretty pissed about the post-credits scene. I have only seen the anime so I have no idea what it's supposed to imply, but if it's already a fuck up, I'm concerned. |
| Will definitely take a while to get used to the change in art style but other than that it was pretty reminiscent of how the original started so that's good in my book The post-credits hint was a little bit odd though. That doesn't feel like they should be showing already |
  |
| Lets See........Will this be the first Horror Anime that may actually Scare me?? |
My Candies:           |
Nice, watching for the first time hopefully its a good horror. |
| I'm REALLY happy with this. I had low expectations going in considering that I never expect much when it comes to visual novel adaptations. However, this (so far) is doing everything right. It finally FEELS like the VN. I appreciate the little things here and there. I think this has a lot of potential and will certainly be better than the "old" anime. I find the new designs and animation style a little unsettling since it's not what I'm used to but it isn't unpleasant. Nothing bothered me at all in fact. Excited for the next episode to see what else is in store. ALSO really loved the fact that the OP was used. Such a legendary track. |
 |
| Never watched the original but this episode got me hooked on the show right off the bat. Got goosebumps three times in this one episode, when they reacted super quickly to keichi asking if there’s been a murder x2, and the ending scene. I like the horror aspect but I don’t like the voices of some of the characters and the old feel/vibe of the show, but I guess that’s to be expected of a reboot of an old show. Overall, seems like it’s going to be a good season. |
 |
| Holy shit was a great first episode. Art, animation and soundtrack are all on point, not to mention the madmen actually used the OP from the original Anime. If they keep this level of quality we are in for some high-quality remake. 5/5 first episode. |
| Yeah rholeros said: Yeah, even I was a little unsure of what the point of that scene was.Dorkave said: It looks like a lot of visual novel readers are pretty pissed about the post-credits scene. I have only seen the anime so I have no idea what it's supposed to imply, but if it's already a fuck up, I'm concerned. I am anime original only, and its plainly obvious that is a huge fuck up. As another user pointed out, there is other foreshadowing that is PERFECT. But “that” scene? Terrible. The episode IS better than the original, keep that in mind, but you can’t give the main plot away so early |
| Surprisingly good start. I was really skeptical about this adaptation, but this episode gave me some hope. Amazing backgrounds and general art quality. Character design is not bad as I initially thought it will be. That post credits scene was terrible though. LocalTrashcann said: I'm super glad they kept the original opening song for this remake, when it came in at the end I got chills. I'm glad that they kept original voice actors and music composer. |

KirigiriJinJin said: It certainly wasn't in the vn. That also isn't the only foreshadowing in this episode. There is also the scene where But that one is a lot more subtle and wouldn't imply anything to the new viewers. Yeah, the subtle one is totally fine. I think we got something similar in the Deen version too. But if not from the VN, then what was the point of that? |

| So. Much. Hype. Seriously the opening at the end almost made me tear up because it was so unexpected. They cut a bunch from the VN but honestly I felt that they went a little overboard with the characterization anyway. This was so great, I will look forward to this so much every week. |
animefans001 said: rholeros said: I do not support the change of the last segment of the episode AT ALL. Wtf? While playing the intro music is a nice touch, compared to the original Keichis’ creepy realization that something is VERY wrong, it kinda losses a good chance to show more eeriness and build up. I can bypass that... But more importantly... Yeah idk why some people are complaining lol, and it's not spoiler for anyone who didn't watch the OG/read the VN, wtf will they understand from that? |

JookSenpai said: I honestly had low expectations, but my god did this just blow me away Big ups to Passione here, I would honestly say this was a WAY better introduction epsiode than the original Higurashi was the anime that turned me into a weeb, I've rewatched it way too many times to count and still ADORE the original But here they added just a little bit more content that made everything flow so much better 1. Introduction to the group I'm extremely happy with the changes they made during the introduction of all the characters, seeing everyone get dressed for school was a nice touch, but the icing on the cake was definetely when Keiichi fell for Satoko's trap Everyone's personalities here shined through and were made concrete, they made a better impression here as everyone bounced off one another and kept the audience engaged, rather than in the 2006 adaptation we met Rikka and Satoko just randomly and they were all buddy-buddy with the group there and then and you were just supposed to guess they were all good friends 2. The Art Man was I a little skeptical when I first saw the art - While I liked the look, I'm a die-hard fan of the original and even though Deen's style was basic and, kind of ugly at points, how gloomy it looked gave the parts where characters go insane look great I loved the detail that Passione put in the characters, but also the background art The background, especially when Keiichi and Rena were walking to meet with Mion was breathtaking I thought making this art style look more colourful would hinder the atmosphere but I was proven wrong, I feel as though I'm gonna adore it as the show goes on 3. CUT CONTENT/REPLACED CONTENT As I've never read the VNs I couldn't say much on the content in the Deen adaptation and how it faired against the VNs, but I adored the changes of scenes and added scenes here Overall, I honestly enjoyed this first episode over the 2006 first episode, and I am honestly surprised myself that I feel that way Newcomers, strap in, this show is an absolute ride and this is a very promising start Same 100% i can't understand why someone might say the old one is better lol (the new one isn't perfect either but at least it's a little better) |
|
| Ok, I have to admit that when the old opening song started I screamed lol Oh man, I'm all up for this ride. Higurashi is my favorite thing ever <3 Also, TOMITAKE FL-FL-FLAAASH I don't think the scene with Rika is that bad...I mean it is just the first episode. I like how creepy it was tho. Rika scene |

| Daaaaamn, as one of the people who didn't watch the original this is really giving off some creepy vibes, i am totally into it! |
| Still DON'T understand why this remake is needed? Original series was good enough |
| People who keep saying the post credit scenes are spoilers... Really, your comments make it seem more like a spoiler than anything else to new watchers. Knew this would happen where people start making comparisons to plot elements from the original. |
| never watched the original just left in the backlog, pretty decent first episode |

It's not a big deal really, they are the ones spoiling the new fans by pointing out that scene was a spoiler, tell me you(as a newcomer) did you get anything from the last scene? (other than that she's creepy like what you'll think of most of the character cuz of the first scene) |
|
| First episode was OK. It managed to be better than I expected. |
| I guess it will take to some time to get used to the newer designs from Passione. I honesty like the DEEN designs a lot better. I mean; Keiichi looks a bit younger in this one. Nipah~ |

It's Passione's fault that people cannot shut up and not point out things for new fans? lol |
|
| The first episode was okay ... I really have to get used to that weird artstyle and the foreshadowing was really unnecessary ... |
 ~Mirror, tell me something~ |
| Never watched the original, so I'm completely new to Higurashi. It's a good first episode with some decent art and animation and the music is good as well. The horror vibes are quite nice. Looking forward to see more. |

| I could not stand the start of Higurashi in the original, and I could not stand it here. The visuals suck again like it did during the Deen era, just more modern now given its 2020. It was really boring for me, but I did appreciate the use of the original opening song at the end of this episode. If there is one thing good about the original Higurashi, it was the original opening songs. Other than that, not a fan of it although the second season wasn't as bad. This episode as a whole for the reboot was just background noise to me. |
| AFTER CREDITS GOT ME SO GOOD, I'm so okay with this remake! Quick edit: I don't know why both studios cut Keiichi's monologue during the first scene all the time |
 |
| Lol everyone bitching about the added the scene as if they don't know that more than half of their views are people who already watched the series. Similar to FF7 Remake, Higurashi is a victim to its own popularity so you can't replicate the mystery that the original one had no matter what you do, instead they focus on the spectacle and fan-service for old viewers kinda. Also, the first ep1 of the remake is way better than the original. |

But I guess with pointing this out we make matters worse xD Better tell a mod to delete all posts. |
