| I love the first 2 seasons, they're in my Top 3 and i miss this anime so much. But i heard a lot of bad things about Gou and Sotsu. Do you recommend it to me or is it just a waste of time? And could it ruin Higurashi for me, because i liked the ending of Kai... |
 |
| Gou is the "So Bad, It's Good" part of Higurashi. I liked it, but it's certainly weaker than the previous parts, story wise. I had a fun time with it. However, I haven't watched Sotsu, and I've heard it's just bad. |
 |
| It is hard to say. For me as a huge Higurashi fan, Gou and Sotsu were an easy 1/10. This is coming from someone who would normally blindly eat up and love any and all Higurashi content lol. I actually thought Gou was being bad on purpose in the initial episodes. But nope, it is just bad. Having said that, there are many people who like these 2 seasons, so it's hard to recommend just writing them off in case you're in the camp who is able to find enjoyment from it. If you end up liking it then that's great, but if you end up hating it, at the very least it'll make your appreciation for the previous seasons shoot up ten-fold. I only sat through it all for completionist reasons. If you're going to watch Gou, I'd say at least check out Higurashi Rei first. The first and last episode are a fun time and the ones in between are more story focused. |
| id say yes I liked both gou and sotsu but they weren't as good as the original but they were still pretty good |
 |
| Gou is definitely a good remake/reimagination of the original Higurashi. If I can remember correctly, it includes two new arcs, too. Sotsu gets a bit ridiculous, but also continues one of the new arcs in a way. It’s definitely worth a watch, but I would slightly prefer the original over the new ones |
| Yea. I mean, you'll probably absolutely hate it and feel like this whole setup was a big waste of time, and that Rika and Satoko are dogshit people after, but yea. Worth the watch. Totally. |

When Gou was airing I was wanting it to be good. I was coming up with all these reasons why is might've been bad on purpose, biggest COPE back then ever for me lol. I actually just finished Sotsu this month after putting it off for so long. |
Saimatsu_Fan said: Huh? I literally did the opposite of your point. It was only true of me for the 2nd season, which is comprised of 85% of footage from the first season anyways so of course with my bad experience of the first season I go into season 2 expecting more of the same. I thought your point was about just assuming something is bad and not even trying to find any good elements? I already tried to find the good elements in season 1 of which there were none. I don't get your point here. Try reading again if you're having issues though.fancyjasper said: Nah I find it bad for brand new reasons, unique to Gou/Sotsu.

Try reading again if you're having issues though. you literally said that you only watched it just for the sake of completion, which means you had never thought it was good to begin with also I'm curious as to why you think gou is bad Gou I watched as it was airing because I was excited to be seeing more Higurashi and wanted to see where things went. I didn't do it for completionist reasons at all. Sotsu is the only season I watched for the sake of completion. I didn't watch it as it was airing, I just finished it last week actually. According to your MAL you've not seen any of the other seasons? You might not understand my issues if I explain them. Unless you read the VN's maybe. Not the place for me to be getting into paragraphs about this anyways, don't wanna spoiler people haha. |
| No it’s very disappointing and the animation ruins the intense moments |
| Read the manga. After tataridamashi arc, it all goes down to the trash bin. Even if the manga and anime are similar in structure, since they were both handed the same outlines, it doesn't mean that the writing in both are equal to one another. The manga is more faithful in that regard. |

But i heard a lot of bad things about Gou and Sotsu. Do you recommend it to me or is it just a waste of time? And could it ruin Higurashi for me, because i liked the ending of Kai... You're better off checking out the visual novels if you haven't done so already. |
| Well, you'll find yourself getting intrigued by Gou at the beginning. At the end you'll be also kinda hyped for the sequel. And at the end you'll feel you have wasted your time and watched a brainfart of Ryukishi. You won't be missing much by not watching this, but you can still find some good points if you are a very passionate fan of the series. |
