Now that we took that out of the way let's start with the review. I was open minded with the idea of a sequel, I was interested to know what happen to make everything go back, AGAIN, but going through every episode I started slowly to feel that the only point of this season was to bring back the characters, make a lot of gore and deliver a poorly excuse for what is happening, sorry but if you gonna make a sequel for a story that already ended, at least give us a good reason to do so.
SPOILER FOR CONTEXT:
After the mystery is solve, the town, the people and every character got out of it alive, Rika, finally get her freedom from the loop and can live again like a normal kid, her dream is to leave the town that holds a lot of bad memories to her and she wants Satoko to go with her to a really high class school for girls only. Satoko and Rika study really hard, get in the school, but Satoko can't keep up and she feels how Rika fits better than her in that school living her feeling lonely.
Satoko manages to get Rika's powers to get in to loops after visiting the old shrine from their town and tries to use it to repeat everything to make it so Rika doesn't go to that school, but Rika won't change her mind so Satoko looses her grip and starts going into loops to torture Rika until she submits to love the town again to live there forever with her.
OPINION:
I respect the work done in this anime, you can see an effort in the animation and the art, but I can't deny that in the future I will remember "Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni" for wat it was. In my opinion, this anime it's just fanservice and I don't recommend it.
