Ive watched all Higurashi anime available (including the infamous Kira OVA) and I'm surprised how good this remake. Its scary, but whats scrarier is that how low the avg score is. It should be a little higher like around 7.8+. For reference, the trash Rent A GF scored higher than this.

My only downside is the animation. Its low quality considering its a 2020 anime. Plot is solid like my junk. Even if you watch the old Higurashi, this mf will still caught you off guard.

It will only gets better.

Now do Oyashiro-sama a favor and watch this anime.

I'm guessing that that the low score is from people dropping after first the first episode a fiving a low score

Personally, I wouldn't recommend this series to newcomers. While I've enjoyed myself very much watching it, the main appeal has consistently been in seeing the various changes made to the story and trying to figure out what's going on behind the scenes using the full knowledge of the prior works. When it comes to the team's handling of the story itself, I've found the quality to be subpar more often than not.

This works as a sequel, but as a remake it's pretty mediocre. Even the DEEN anime did better at times.

I watched the original Higurashi and I'm gonna be honest with you none of the people I know who are watching Higirashi Gou - having watched the original or not - find it to be even remotely scary.

I'd say Higurashi Gou is quite terrible in building its atmosphere, with weak coloring and directing, which doesn't bring up the tension up at all - unlike in the original anime.

Maybe because they wants to focus on the mystery rather than creating tension?

In my opinion the original was very mysterious and intriguing while still maintaining the thriller aspect of it through tense directing and giving visual flare to unsettling moments in ways that don't just include adding a flashy filter like Higurashi Gou.

I don't think it's bad just that it is a downgrade in visual presentation mostly.

Gou is more or less ok.
Sotsu is the one that drove off the cliff.

Coming back to this post nearly a year later I can safely say the score should be lower
