Chargecoulomb said: Haven't read it yet but I already hate the idea after Ciconia. For those wondering, Eua has made her appearance in Mei. Shows up, Summons Satoko to talk to her. Satoko knows her name, but doesnt remember who she is. Eua says that shes not here to interfere, directly alludes to gameboards and games. Even though Mei isnt cannon, its still clear that the future of Higu is gonna be as a glorified prologue to Umineko and /or part of Ciconia. Until Ciconia eventually turns both Higu and Umi into virtual simulations. |

Heck some guy even went to the trouble of typing a mainfesto; https://www.docdroid.net/kyyCipd/the-hanyuu-eua-ai-theory-v2-pdf Imo its more or less nonsense, but who knows even Shakanontrice started out as a crack theory. |

I just hope that Ciconia isnt supposed to explain the meta world and that Witches are actually AIs from the future/AU or that Higu and Umi are just simulations. |
| Seems like a (Happy End) is on rail now... or derails again. Everything could have been directed in a better way that leads to the last 2 episodes. Ok, that was absolutely terrible how Eua was waterboarding Hanyuu like that, I didn't want to see those scenes again honestly, as if Keichi trying to eat Rika's brain wasn't already gross enough. poor Hanyuu, being completely helpless against a lazy ass Eua. That last scene, I hate a cliffhanger at such point, but I hope Satoko gets killed XD |

| god damn i hate the censorship, they ruined the best scene... so it was Hanyuu deflecting Takano bullet at that time. Hey New Scene, Hanyuu Oppai lmao wow the cliffhanger was exactly the same... you gonna make us wait a week again? I see so many people still didn't get it, Higurashi is about Perspective. |
 |
I have to question what that even means here lol. |
Idk what to say if you asking that question... |

| Idk what to say if you think perspective justifies the bullshit we get for an entire season(more with Gou). |

The obvious question. What new details did Sotsus's persepective give you? What did Onikashi add to Rena? What did Watakashi add to Mion? Did you learn anything new about them, if so what? Thats why I call most* of Sotsu persepective without substance. |

Causing the viewer to empathize more with a hopeless and despondent Rika adrift in the sea of shards on a meta level by wearing down the audience's patience and willpower. At least, that's the same form of justification that was used vis-a-vis Yuki Nagato's perspective being vindicated via the Endless Eight during The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Except, I don't even see how it does that. As I've been saying for a while now, the story of these seasons of Gou and Sotsu as it was designed and written shafted every one of the other main characters - Rena, Keiichi, Mion, and Shion - to "focus" on Rika and Satoko. That would be okay (I also love Rika and she's one of my favorite characters from the original seasons) except for the fact that Rika and Satoko were not sufficiently developed. Not in dialogue, not in monologue or internal thoughts, not in showing not telling through action, or any other way. At least there were inklings of development during the St. Lucia arc in Gou. Rika's perspective has been completely absent from Sotsu and she's just seemed like a cardboard cutout going through the motions on autopilot (primarily because these first 13 episodes of Sotsu are just retreading past events which have already happened in Gou and zero new perspective for Rika is added) and the only perspective for Satoko in Sotsu is her spamming the same quotes of bitter determination and ruthlessness, threats toward Rika, and malicious faces paired with the looper eyes. That's not development. Besides the rest of the main characters, since it's established that Rika isn't going to have any real new added perspective for all of Sotsu which has aired so far, then that means you're going to spend the entirety or vast majority of the season dedicated to Satoko and her vantage point. So then to say not adding more depth to that is a missed opportunity is the understatement of the century. It just feels criminal and insulting. No genuine insight added into why she feels this strongly about not being separated from Rika and drifting apart when growing up (people who have seen the story of the original seasons of the anime or read the VN or manga can surmise, but that's not the point - I'm sure we all would appreciate far more, let alone for completely new viewers who have to be tuned out or masochistic at this point). No real reflection on any aspect of her relationship with Teppei, Satoshi, Keiichi, or any of her other friends. I realize the spirit of your post isn't disagreeing with this, but it just has to be said because it's pretty disappointing and infuriating. |

| This is garbage. 15 episodes and only 4 (first and 2 and last 2 assuming that are new content) are worth it. At least in this season, we get more Rena |
| Most amusing part is seeing people defending recaps as the next 10/10 plots ever to be existed. And why the second season is heavily censored? Is there any reason at all? |
| i hope this miracle "kiseki" would be a gamechanger that would even upset the likes of Eua!!! 5/5. |

It's normally censored on JP TV, Funi managed to obtain an uncensored raw for Gou but they couldn't/didn't care enough to do it again for Sotsu. |
 |
| I'm really tempted to do a drinking game, of every time Satoko has an evil smile with red eyes, and everytime Eua giggles and says "How entertaining" or something along those lines. Unfortunately that would mean watching this travesty again, and there's no way I'm subjecting myself to that. I just seriously can't understand how Higurashi has come to this. I didn't like what they did with Gou but could at least kind of, sort of understand how people could like it if they just wanted edgy shock value. Sotsu is just nothing. Literally 13 episodes of almost no new (meaningful) content. I hope and pray it truly does end in 2 episodes just so we can be done with it. Not gonna lie though, even once it's over it'll be tough to wash the bad taste out of my mouth. I'm seriously questioning if I even want to read Ciconia at this point, between the handling of this show and the indefinite delay of part 2. Almost doesn't seem worth the effort at this point. |

| Up to this point could've been done in 2-3 episodes. Such a waste of time. |

I realize the spirit of your post isn't disagreeing with this, but it just has to be said because it's pretty disappointing and infuriating. Absolutely. I agree 100%. The point of a new persepective is to add to characters and give new information to the viewer that they couldnt have recieved before. If that isnt achieved, then the perspective switch becomes useless. Which Sotsu deeply suffers from. The lack of serious character development is a huge issue carried over from Gou that Sotsu never really dealt with. Its true that its not easy to do that when the loops reset characters back to square one, but even Rika and Satoko suffer from this. Then they introduced a way around the character reset that occurs in each loop, Memory leaks. Memory leaks are a plot device that could have been used to offer some serious character insight if used properly, bug strangely enough its ignored. How would Rena react to remembering the version of Tsumi where she succeded in blowing up the school? How would Mion react to remembering Meakashi/Watanagashi? We'll never know. When Gou ended there was a divide on people siding with Rika or Satoko. Now most people side with Rika, because its become impossible to have any empathy for Satoko. A redemption for her (which is highly likely) is going to leave a bad aftertaste |

There's no debating with some of them because they think the series being enjoyable or entertaining is objectively true for everyone regardless of its issues, basically "stop complaining and enjoy it, it's still higurashi" I'm sure a new season will be announced and some of them will start talking about how Sotsu was totally needed to reach this point and how Ryukishi is once again a flawless writer |

They can lie to themselves and everyone all they want, sales figures are what matter in the end and Ryukishi07 gets most of his income from his VN (owning 07th expansion basically to himself.)

I daresay it makes EVEN MORE sense that Shakannon does considering the entirety of the story. - Yasu has a consistent accomplice for all the games. George. It doesnt change with each one. Which is a huge win. Since Shakkannon introduces nonsensical accomplices (lol Gohda). - Fits in perfectly with the Meta Scenes (Which no other theory including Rosatrice can match up to 1:1) - Doesnt make the other characters idiots. (C'mon Youre telling for all the years, Jessica never wanted to meet Shannon and Kannon at the same time! Atleast for a party or something. Its Insane, and makes Jessica, Krauss, Natushi, even Rosa who all spent a lot of time on Rokkenjima complete idiots) - Explains Erika and makes her more relevant to the core story than 'Berns new self insert oc'. Does a good job of explaining her seemingly irrational dislike of Natsuhi and Jessica. I listened to Knownomores Rosatrice videos all those years ago. I thought it was nonsense, but the most well done part of Rosatrice (George Culprit/Accomplice) integrates eerily well into this theory. Italianon seems to think that this is Ryuukishis intended explanation. Yeah... No. I dont think its anything like that, but a genuine case of someone coming up with a better explanation than Ryuukishi did. Its unknown if Ryu even came up with Shkannon on his own, or just saw the forum posts (Shkannon started out as a crack theory among fans) and decided to run with it. All in all its a nice read. 100% Reccomended if youre a Umineko fan, but lets not go saying that Ryu hid a secret message in Umi.

Bern had no idea what it was, and Lambda added that going through fragments wont get them the answer to it. Did Eva really solve it in ep3 since she was an accomplice? Wait Rosa solved it in ep3 didnt she? Hold on Since Battler was an accomplice in ep5. He probably knew where the gold was beforehand, maybe Yasu had told him. And He told Erika. Its probably as simple as that. This theory also has Yasu=Ikkuko, which seems to be an stretch. I looked into it, and apparently this is a somewhat popular theory? Thinking about it I guessSomeone could come to that conclusion, Ikkuko is weird, and Yasu is hinted to have had plans to leave the island and set up a boat, Yasus death was never confirmed, The Meta Batle between Battler and Beato was Ikkuko vs Tohya in reality, In the ep8 ending she says that reconstructed the Rokkenjima main hall to the best of her memory, Tohya and Ikkuko were.meant to be married before Ryuukishi ommitted it. Theres also apparently some nameplay involving Ikkuko's , Sayo's and Battler's names. I dunno, I can probably deny the rest of the theory but this, Its in this weird place that I cant think of any fact to fully deny it. |

Thinking about it I guessSomeone could come to that conclusion, Ikkuko is weird, and Yasu is hinted to have had plans to leave the island and set up a boat, Yasus death was never confirmed, The Meta Batle between Battler and Beato was Ikkuko vs Tohya in reality, In the ep8 ending she says that reconstructed the Rokkenjima main hall to the best of her memory, Tohya and Ikkuko were.meant to be married before Ryuukishi omitted it. Theres also apparently some nameplay involving Ikkuko's , Sayo's and Battler's names. I dunno, I can probably deny the rest of the theory but this, Its in this weird place that I cant think of any fact to fully deny it. |
ssjokg said: Chargecoulomb said: Amen to that. Somethings been bugging me though. How did Erika solve the epitaph in ep6? Bern had no idea what it was, and Lambda added that going through fragments wont get them the answer to it. Did Eva really solve it in ep3 since she was an accomplice? Wait Rosa solved it in ep3 didnt she? Hold on Since Battler was an accomplice in ep5. He probably knew where the gold was beforehand, maybe Yasu had told him. And He told Erika.

If I remember correctly Ikkuko was the one who commented on it being remade from memory. (Which is weird but I dunno) I dont think, Ikkuko = Yasu is true either. Maybe Ryuukishi intended for it to be at somepoint, but who knows. As for the boat scene. Battler might have gone into ptsd induced shock, Beatrice died, but that could simply be Yasu yet again killing off a personality. Yasus death was never confirmed, only Beatos, so thats why I cant directly deny this. Yasu is weird, she is not counted as a personality of her own, and she is not counted as a person. Which can create a situation of a body that is not a person running around |

Same for drowning. |
