Only watched one episode of Higurashi, but I've heard the nail scene is very cringe and messed up.

Don't be silly. You can't get scared from watching anime.

Obviously you're not the only one, but why does it scare people if I may ask?
Perhaps I just have a strong psyche, but I'd really like to know.

I dunno about scaring me, but the atmosphere and tone are very creepy, especially during some of the brutal scenes.

Am I a terrible person? Because instead of creepy or scary, I found the first season somewhat hilarious.

It definitely has it's moments depending on each arc, but overal l didn't think it was that scary. It's more of a mystery/thriller.

The nail scene gives me fucked up feelings but I didn't find it scary at all.
Try watching Shinsekai Yori.

It's better this way.

I wouldn't say Higurashi is that scary, but to each their own. There's definitely some scenes that make you squeamish or cringe though, the infamous nail scene being one of them.

Please do check the original post from where I quoted that person.
As for the original post, I just cannot believe how stupid/self centered some people are.

I didn't find it scary, but I also just don't find many things scary at all. It's certainly pretty unsettling at points.

Yes, yes, you're the only one, you're a special one, that's right, you're really special.

Anyways, Higurashi was just, tingly to me, but not really scary. The VN scared me though.

Honestly, if you ever ask yourself the question : ''Am I the only one who.... ?'' the answer will always be no.

But I didn't watch the anime yet but I'm currently playing (or reading I guess) the visual novels and I get creeped out often.

I always found the yandere bitches in that anime to have extremely punchable faces, but I wouldn’t say that makes the anime scary.

Didn't scare me. Rika is too adorable to be scared in an anime with her in it.

Well, the "nail scene" is something I'll never forget and it will never fail to make me cringed no matter how many times I watch it.

What's scary for some, isn't scary for others. For example, when Dead Space was released, everyone said how scary the game is. I was bored out of my mind while playing it. The same applies to Higurashi. It has disturbing scenes, but it isn't scary in the slightest.

Higurashi was the first, and only anime that made me pretty scared.

Psychological horror is simply well done, and more effective than bloody/body horror.

It was scary for me the first time because I never expected something so dark from an anime with loli moe characters. It’s the first psychological thriller I’ve ever watched, not even in films or movies.

Definitely left an impression on me, including School Days.

I find Higurashi (and most other horror anime) more campy than scary. Still entertaining for it's story and craziness, but I find the way it and a lot of other show execute (heh) it's horror elements very lackluster, like either they're trying not to scare their audience too much in fear that they'll stop watching, or the makers just don't know how to do horror properly. You watch a good Horror movie or read a good horror manga that are done by people who know the genre, and you'll find that a lot of anime's attempt at horror to be almost laughable.

Case in point, read the Higurashi manga and compare it to the anime.

Though I wouldn't say that it scared me shitless but the creepiness was there. I enjoyed how all the characters were batshit crazy it made Higurashi more entertaining and as for the nail scene well yeah that was disturbing and cringy.

No higurashi is just pure mindfuck imo.
I love this show. especially its 1st season its in my top3 of all time anime no doubt.

The atmosphere they created for this anime/manga is just increadibly good and so is the music. And the fact that i never knew what would happen next always put me to the edge of my seat.


I think some time ago ive heard that the writer of the original higurashi manga posted something on twitter hinting towards some new "when they cry".
As far as i remember he stated that we will see something new from higurashi we have never seen before.

But idk what its all about, havent heard anything since then. Probably he was just hinting towards the Higurashi VR game thats definitely beeing developed.
