ssjokg said: My expectations were abysmal but holy fuck. Lol at people who thought this would be Lambda's and Bern's Logic Error origins. They had the audacity to play Dear You at the end. So we must ignore 39 episodes of a friend torturing and killing her friends for fun because of a studying? The story completely ignores what Satoko did to the point even forgiveness is irrelevant and go as far as giving her a happy ending where Satoshi(who)finally wakes up. And of course it was the witch's fault.. Lets be honest this whole travesty exists so that Satoko and Rik can make superficial Umineko references. Mion, Shion, Rena and Keichi were irrelevant to the very end. 1/10 Shitty rating system doesnt even allow for 0/10. Thankfully this actually concluded the story and there were no news about another Higurashi or Umineko anime. Oof. There is more news about a Higu Anime. The ride never ends. |
| before anyone falls for the 'happy ending' of satoshi waking up just remember, we know that he is supposed to wake up all the time and be extremely violent so he is strapped into the bed at all times. it is literally impossible for that scene to have actually happened. this show doesn't even know its own lore. |

| Dear You was a nice touch but I don't think this ending needed the 15 episodes of buildup it got |
| Man, I thought I was out of this since he murdered the story like months ago at this point, but Keiichi giving a speech about friendship to Satoko now, of all the times, legit made me angry irl. Anyway, this was SotsoGou I guess. An anime that managed to murder Higurashi's story and legacy while being also really fucking boring at the same time. The moral of the story is uuuuuuuuuhhhh |
 |
| the fact I have to wait 4 months for this is fucking ridiculous |
 |
| What was even the point of this entire sequel? The originals had a perfectly fine ending. There's literally no reason for this abomination to exist. All it did was ruin a perfectly fine anime franchise and lovable characters. The only thing that got me emotional this episode was the ending song, which was just another rehash of Dear You with different lyrics. The leaker said there's going to be more Higurashi in 2022, but I hope that'll turn out to be a lie. I don't want to see even more of this garbage. Giving this a 5/10, but only because I physically cannot stomach giving an anime with "Higurashi" in the title anything lower. |

Then it’s kinda fucked up that after the whole friendship speech the two of them somehow died, further traumatizing the "original" squad. But anyhow they "magically" transformed back to kids after holding hands due to the power of under-developed yuri love I guess. Eua probably got lolied at the same time. When she left, the fragment reset. Making them kids again. |

| the start was really interesting but as the episodes started to come out everyone could tell this wasn't going to end well I still found it really interesting even though the ending is well a bit shit But when the final song kicked in it did make me a bit teary-eyed as it hit me that this will be the final for the Higurashi anime still a 9/10 |

| This whole thing sure was pointless. Anyway. |
 |
| And they all lived happily ever after! What a travesty. Honestly, this sequel didn't even need to be made. My biggest problem with Gou, when it was airing, had been that the real overarching mystery essentially was "Why did a Higruashi squeal need to be made?" And, it turns out it didn't. Honestly, this was one of the worst things I've ever seen, it took a crap on the original, and I'm now far less inclined to read or watch anything else Ryukishi07 has made. I will say though, I did quite enjoy coming into these threads and reading what everyone had to say each episode. For as bad as Gou and Sotsu where, I'm going to miss these threads. Catch you all another time hopefully. |
| Now, count up your sins! |
| Well, I loved Gou so much, but Sotsu was huge let down, recaps and no effort ending. Still I noticed, they opened some paths in ending to make even more Higurashi in future if they would like to. Overall Im disappointed and sad 😔 Gou 9/10 Sotsu 4/10 |
 |
| Best episode in whole Gou and Sotsu series, Hanyu vs Eua part was weakest part in episode, but all after that was nice and heartwarming :) |
"A half moon, it has a dark half and a bright half, just like me…", Yuno Gasai |
| Digimon 2020 was more disappointing. |
| Well the story is now over. Satoko and Rika had their epic battle, talked it out in words and agreed to take a break. Everything is well, and they shall loop again when they cry. 8/10. Dear You really won me over, and I have a much stronger desire to read Umineko! |
 |
| I really wish they showed more of everyone grown up. Maybe some university Hugurashi wouldve been sick!! Oh well, maybe they can try again if they continue it |
| Bruh? Like what? why did it end like that? what was the point of all this? Actually feel terrible with the whole 'lets-make-up-now-after-torturing-each-other-for-who-knows-how-many-years'. More Umineko references lol. also ED is nice but just ain't it for this anime. just why just why/10 |
| i cackled when satoshi woke up. my dude had like 0 relevance to the plot. this ending is basically telling me that rika and satoko's problems could have been resolved if they just talked to their friends?? theyre killing each other over and over bc they each have different dreams but then all they have to do is hear their friends say something along the lines of "sometimes friends need to be apart but its okay" and all of a sudden everything is fine and dandy?? bro like why didnt you guys go to your friends with your problems in the first place not sure i understand the bit about satoko's old self(?) returning to her body?? evil satoko let normal satoko back into her body but i thought normal satoko had been cast away? how does normal satoko even know what's been going on if evil satoko had been inhabiting her body this entire time? ending song was SO GOOD btw edit: came back here after 2.5 months to publicly shame myself for NOT RECOGNIZING the song played at the end. jesus christ |

| The ending leak was real. Fuck this shit, there was no reason this ending was at all deserved. |
 |
| Well obvious, weird happy ending. Liked the continuation aka previous season, felt like it was leading to something major, but in the end it was all completely pointless ... Overall 5-6/10 and generous 6 in the end, duel of fates episode was something else. |
 |
| I like the fight, and the Umineko tease with the speech between Rika and Satoko. Hearing "You" at the end nearly broke me, that song is too Godly. Overall, while Sotsu for me started good (I LOVE ep 1 and 2) it just went downhill fast because of the number of recaps, even tho it still had some good original scenes. |
 |
| Man they tried so hard to appeal to nostalgia in the 2nd half. Not that I expected anything else out of this. They added the only nice thing of this whole installment (the "Dear You" arrangement) and obviously they had to moralfag us at the end about friendship and whatnot (as if the characters were not butchered enough) while simultaneous pandering with some more Umineko references. I legit rolled my eyes at that word-per-word parting of Rika and Satoko. Props to Teppei for being the most relevant male character coming out of Sotsu. Fitting as the nature of the character matches with the quality of the season. Anyway glad that this is finally over. 1/10 for me, won´t be caught again in another Higurashi installment. |

| It's literally shit. Ryukishi07 became Hackishi07 if he was really in charge of the script. |
| anyone know the name of the song at the end of the anime (around the 18-19 mark) |

Actually no, do you forget that Irie said that "Syndrome is gone" around 16-17 episode of Gou? He will wake up but already cured. SotsuGou kinda consistent within its own sometimes Just skimmed through episode 17 of Gou again, Irie says "I will be back someday to continue treating Satoshi and put a definitive end to HS". Later Tomitake also says Irie "Will be back because the village still needs a medical clinic, as well as a cure for HS". So no I don't think it was 'cured' just yet. But please correct me if I'm wrong. |

| You know I really hated this ending but then I saw Hanyuu wrecking that annoying ass Eua and Teppei happy ending so I will just ignore everything related to Rika and Satoko. lmao |

But please correct me if I'm wrong. He was kept in a medically induced Coma so he shouldnt have randomly woken up like that. .... At least not without Irie and bunch of other workers restraining him to make sure he doesnt claw his throat out. |

SkyhighCFC said: This will probably be an unpopular opinion, but I actually liked this ending? It definitely wasn't perfect, and I didn't like the bs they pulled in the EUA vs Hanyuu fight. I also didn't like the fact that Satoko didn't really face any real consequences in this ending. Sure she won't see her "friend" for like what? 3 years? But that's not really a consequence considering all she's done if you ask me. Despite those 2 issues though, this ending really surprised me. I genuinely thought they would go full "power of friendship" mode with the ending and have Satoko and Rika end the series as perfect friends like they were before all this even started, or even lovers. That ending would have pissed me off beyond belief. But they actually shocked me by going with an ending where, yea they're cooler with each other now, but they definitely don't see completely eye to eye now. If they weren't going to go with the full dark ending like I knew they wouldn't, I think this is the best alternative. Overall though, SOTSU as a whole has been disappointing...especially the last 5 or so episodes. Not everything was bad, but man they REALLY could've done so much better with this premise. How can you like this ending? It makes no sense for Rika to forgive. At all. At any rate I won't even give sotsu the benefit of the watch, from spoiler reactions it is just exactly how leaker leaked so I don't have to watch this garbagio. |

Jin_uzuki said: The moral of the story is uuuuuuuuuhhhh You can disembowel your bestest of best friends and still be able to kiss and make up in the end because you're friends who need to understand each others' boundaries. Also punch them in the face when they complain about studying for math. |

SkyhighCFC said: Chargecoulomb said: 1/10 extremely disappointed. Higurashi fans got nothing Umineko Fans got nothing Yuri fans got nothing A complete and utter waste of time. This disappointment is an utter cancer on WTC. Passione should be ashamed about making this, and Ryuukishi should be ashamed he wrote this mess. This destroyed Rika and Satoko for what? NOTHING! No witch ending, no Yuri ending. Nothing. Absolutely fucking nothing. This is a shame. A real shame. After everything, Passione has the balls to play dear you at the end of this travesty. You think a yuri ending would've been appropriate considering all the shit Satoko has done in this series? It would definitely not feel justified imo Of course not, Im saying that nobody got anything out of this. Not even the Yuri fans. |
Hey, at least Disney would have thrown the bad guy off a cliff or something. |
Thats not the right song, there are many differnt versions of "you", that version is from Higurashi no naku koro ni Outbreak if I remember correctly. I'm currently looking for the name of this version as well. |
| ryu07 really went and wrote a terrible fanfic of his own creation lmao |
