When this anime started,it gave a lot of similar vibes as Higurashi anime.Most of the premise was actually very similar to Higurashi and many people thought this anime to be similar to Higurashi but after coming to Summertime end it is evident that this anime is NOT similar to Higurashi which is a big relief bcoz I thought people would watch this anime and will not consider to even watch Higurashi as they are similar which is not the case now.If people loved Summertime then they should watch Higurashi.Summertime Animation=10/10 Higurashi Animation=7/10 but Summertime Story= 8/10 Higurashi Story=9.2/10

Actually it is the opposite case, like if people liked a show, they ask for more recommendations of the same type. Higurashi is also recommended a few times on this forum, so nothing to worry about.

I am curious about why you rated it a "9.2", and not a "8", "9" or "9.5". :-P

Actually in beginning of Summertime was looking exactly same as Higurashi and not just same type of story but later on Summertime story changed completely which was a big relief.Higurashi story is more complex and longer than Summertime which is ending soon.Dont watch 2020 Higurashi kinda Sequel if u ever decide to watch Higurashi

I mean i did watch the higurashi series way before the release of summer time rendering, even tho i loved higurashi a lot, but summer time rendering handle some plot events very well and even better than higurashi, the characters have awareness of the change every time the series goes on. Probably as the series went on to the festival i had this thought of the ending being similar to higurashi's but it was immediately gone after the next episode as the plot got thicker, this was a lot different again because of how aware the characters are.

I cant agree here..Summertime story depends too much on supernatural powers of Ushio,Shide,Haine and Hizuru which sometimes makes it feel like Shounen and critical thinking of MC like Deku from MHA whereas Higurashi didnt use supernatural powers for most parts.Higurashi story is definitely more complex n better than Summertime

Higurashi was superior in everything, except character design.

@SofiaBulga IDK about others but those character designs with those varying yellow,purple hairs still give me uniqueness and feeling of horror. Their colors can be more cleaner for today's time and I have seen many pics of same 2007 character designs with modern colors which look great for 2023 but sadly Higurashi 2020 sequel used completely different character designs with that plastic shine 😑

@gamibo Talk about unfortunate right. The story was very good a little dated now, but still holds up. The visuals are sharper than in the 2000s original and that's fine. So this is just me coping, but why does the character design look cheap in my eyes? Story is good, backgroung & movment are above average, why does the design of the characters make them appear basic to me, like not enough effort was but in to remaking them. It didn't look like that for 85% of the other remakes I've seen, so why?
