I think those 13 eps were just Ryu07 trolling that "nah it's a remake" maybe to hint old fans that this is not the same Hinamizawa from back then.
Someone did say that this is their first "big project" as if their previous projects weren't big lol. Maybe this time they're trying to expand to Umineko? Gou being directly related to Umineko seems to be a divided thing in the fandom, some want it, some don't. I'd also prefer a season 2 rather than to speedrun those 5 tries. That seems quite impossible though, considering it took Rika 100 years to get out of that loop especially now with Hanyuu gone. But one thing differs from the Hinamizawa now is that Keiichi seems to remember fragments of other worlds more frequently. Welp we'll see where this goes.
And yeah I also saw that the manga was different from the anime. I'm not sure what I liked better though.
Also I assume you've seen gou's latest episode and I wanna know your thoughts.
The Deen version is definitely more gory and it presents more mystery adding more and more questions each ep where as in Gou it seems that Ryu07 wants us to be sherlock. In terms of gore, Gou is has way less and It lacks the low quality charm that Deen has (idk how to explain it) but it has its moments and if done right it may surpass the og. As for the writing and how the mystery in Hinamizawa is presented, it's not bad but it doesnt live up to the standards of the og imo.
Maybe its trying to be something completely new and expand its storyline? I'm not sure I haven't finished Rei lol so I'm not sure if Higurashi already reached its "true end". Maybe it wants to explain more things from the original but that would mean that its not friendly to new comers although being advertised as such.
I think its fan service and that's all there is to it (right now, at least).
Oh boy...Koi Kaze. If you do end up deciding to watch it down the line, I'd always be interested in hearing your thoughts. It's the type of series where your viewing experience of what you've seen before, your mood or time/place in life, or your views on the events and topics portrayed may dramatically influence your relation to the series (I mean, to an extent that's true of all anime but to me it's akin to a matter of degrees). It was my first series and introductory anime so it occupies a very special place for me, but it's been weird since then seeing how it's kind of an anomaly and still doesn't really feel like any other anime I've seen since, like 115 series later. Without it I wouldn't have discovered Higurashi and so many other rich and tremendous stories though.
