Updated Review:
Well, the story is over… I won't update the score of Sotsu because one episode doesn't make one entire season, the flaws remain there. The ending I'm just neutral about, it didn't make me hate it but it didn't blow me away whatsoever. I certainly rather think that the ending of the original series is the real ending, without all the clingy Satoko nonsense. The plot twists were good but then it just became too stupid for my taste. That's just how it is.
Original Review:
I'm sorry but I'm not even gonna wait until Sotsu is over to complain about this already. I might change
...
my rating later on the show depending on the ending, but I can already tell you I'm not giving it more than a 5 with the way they are treating viewers as if we have amnesia or something, literally giving us a recap EVERY SINGLE EPISODE of things we already know or have seen. We don't forget these moments, we pay attention to a story where you have to pay attention to details, and if someone forgets, they can rewatch episodes, we don't need the show to give us endless recaps over and over again. Whoever did Gou and Sotsu have to be different people, at least on the matter of pacing. I understand wanting to milk Higurashi, but this is beyond milking, this is STALLING the plot. Literally only like 5 minutes per episode matter only anymore, the rest is just recap of scenes you already saw, as if they are treating the viewers asif they suffer of amnesia or something.
Notice how I repeated myself in this review? that's how it feels to be currently watching Sotsu. MY GOD. lol
I love Higurashi, but I swear, just like Naruto has a list of filler episodes so people can skip, I BET that fans will edit these Sotsu episodes with only the portions of scenes that are new, and the season will be probably half as long, just with the stuff that matters if you have been paying attention to the story. If no one thought about doing that, then here you go, now that idea has to be done with Sotsu as soon as it's over, so rewatching the show (or people waiting for the show to be over before binge watching it) isn't a pain in the literal arse.
