Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni (When They Cry: Higurashi)

Cheeky

School Idol
Saw some clips of this show, not really knowing what it was or even what's it about. A review in Newtype has shed some light on it, so I thought I'd share the info.

It's set in a small town, has a transfer student with four female friends, and all looks like your typical romantic comedy. And then the town's curse comes into play and things get a little... creepy, horrific and ultimately violent. Not one for the squeamish.

I'm not normally into this kind of thing but I'm tempted to get this, if only to see just how the contrast between the two elements work. As Newtype says, it's experimental and original in ways most anime made for TV isn't.

Good in small doses, and good fun for playing the Casualty game with (who's going to die and how and by who's hand), but can get a little repetitive.
