I am a big fan of Higurashi series and I greatly enjoyed the 2006 Higurashi series.But this new 2020 Higurashi sequel is not at all comparable to old series.Some may argue here but I would just suggest to just check the rating of old Higurashi and this 2020 Higurashi.Now I see many people say that 2006 Higurashi has dated animation and art which I dont agree but still people who dont want to watch older series coz of dated art then I would suggest to watch Summertime Render.This anime has taken huge inspiration from higurashi and its plot is very similar to Higurashi.This anime has one of the best animation and art.Watch it but remember that Summertime Render took inspiration from great Higurashi not the other way around and I will still consider Higurashi as the better anime.

Both 2006 and 2020/2021 higurashi have the same flaws people are just blinded by nostlagia, Kind of like 03 FMA and the recent one being the difference is the ending

The original Higurashi series of 2006 was an absolutely epic and phenomenal experience in every respect and I didn't even watch it or even know of its existence for the first time until May of 2019, so I have zero time-based or childhood nostalgia associated with it and this is a false generalization. Plenty of people could watch the series brand new today for the first time and be blown away by it in many aspects. It's definitely not just "nostalgia". It's just that truly amazing works of art in anime, as in every other medium, stand the test of time. If someone watches a truly great series and then five or 10 or 15 or 20 years pass and they still consider it truly great, their viewpoint definitely shouldn't be trivialized or written off and dismissed as "just nostalgia", as evidenced by the fact that new people years later are still discovering it and absolutely loving it to the same extent and degree.

This argument that people just like the things they like due to nostalgia is surprisingly popular, but in my experience it's very false. It's quality that is the main determining factor for me and many other people - not when you watched something or how long ago you watched it. I watched many things in childhood and years ago I don't have a high opinion of and didn't even like all that much at the time. There are anime series I watched several years before Higurashi that I dropped or rated lower, but by this line of thinking, I should be nostalgic for them?

EDIT: After reading manga ending for Summertime render,I now believe that Summertime render is no where near Higurashi 2006 and People should watch Higurashi and not this cheap imitation.

Gou was good. Sotsu just shit the bed at the end.

The original Higurashi was good too, it just looks like shit. But tbh most anime did in 2006.

Not to fight but just want to know your opinion on 2020 Keichi vs 2006 Keichi? Did u find any difference between these two if u truly loved Higurashi 2006? In 2020 Higurashi they completely changed Keichi's artstyle i.e literally his whole face ,it wouldnt have hurt much if they hadnt also changed his japanese voice making his voice sound like a 9 year old childish brat..Other characters artstyle was also changed but not to that degree + other characters voices remained same....Fun Fact:Voice of 2020 Keichi sounds different but voice actor was still the SAME.The 2020 anime intentionally made Keichi character more childish thru changed artstyle and voice
