The munny store?  Now we all know Higurashi has had a few threads before, but I think I'd like to set up a good one myself ;D -What is Higurashi? "Higurashi" is the usual term used by fans to shorten the long name of the anime: Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni. -What is it it mainly about? Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni is a muder mystery anime. Let's look to wiki for a more "in-depth" look. "A Japanese murder mystery dojin soft visual novel series based on the Nscripter engine, produced by 07th Expansion. The series is focused on a group of young friends and the strange events that occur in the village that they live in. The naku (なく, naku?) of the title has a double meaning. Firstly, naku can mean "to make sound" (鳴く, "to make sound"?), specifically referring to those sounds made by non-human organisms. Secondly, naku can mean "to weep" (泣く, "to weep"?). It so happens that the English verb "to cry" carries the same double meaning as naku. According to the original creator, Ryukishi07, the red Na (な) in the logo is an official part of the title. In Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, there are six main characters who appear in almost every scenario. The main protagonist is Keiichi Maebara, a young boy who has recently moved to Hinamizawa with his family, and begun to adapt to life in the countryside. Keiichi has a natural charisma which allows him to make friends easily. Since Hinamizawa is a small town of about two thousand people, with only a single school, there are not many children around his own age; he easily meets the others his age and becomes friends with them." -Who is involved? Once again,wiki aids us : D Rena-"Rena Ryugu. She, like Keiichi, is new in Hinamizawa, having only returned from Ibaraki a year before the story begins. She has an obsession with things she considers to be cute — generally, others do not agree — and will often scavenge for such things at the local dump and bring them back home." Mion-"who is looked at as the leader of the group and is the president of their club. Mion has a tomboyish personality, a facade for a girlish side she keeps hidden from the others. Mion has a twin sister, Shion, who lives in the nearby town of Okinomiya." Satoko-"A clever girl who is quite skilled at setting traps when playing games with her friends. She usually has an energetic and mischievous personality, but this hides a past full of trauma." Rika-"Is revered by the villagers as the heir of the local shrine and plays the role of a miko in the annual Watanagashi Festival. Despite her young age, she sometimes expresses a type of wisdom which would normally be beyond her years." -So a synposis would be? "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni takes place during June 1983, at a fictional rural village called Hinamizawa (雛見沢, Hinamizawa?) (based on the village of Shirakawa, Gifu, a World Heritage Site), which has a population of approximately 2000. The main character, Keiichi Maebara, moves to Hinamizawa and befriends his new classmates Rena Ryugu, Mion Sonozaki, Rika Furude, and Satoko Hojo. Keiichi joins their after-school club activities, which consist mostly of card and board games (and punishment games for the loser, usually him.) Hinamizawa appears to be a normal, peaceful, rural village to Keiichi. However, the tranquility abruptly ends after the annual Watanagashi Festival, a celebration to commemorate and give thanks to the local god, Oyashiro-sama. Keiichi learns that every year for the past four years, one person has been murdered and another has gone missing on the day of the Watanagashi Festival. Keiichi himself soon becomes implicated into the strange events surrounding the Watanagashi Festival and Oyashiro-sama. In each story arc, he or one of his friends become paranoid, and a crime is committed. Usually, the crime involves the murder of one of their own friends. While it seems impossible to tell their delusions apart from the mystery of Hinamizawa, slowly the truth is revealed." If I can add anything to this,please tell me ;D Anyway, Higurashi does have a second season, Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni Kai. Basically,this is a place to discuss this anime/game/manga/ect @,@ Please no: Spam Yes to: Bumps This Topic is for: Talking about Higurashi, Season one and Two,and of course, the characters. Also, the dub version can be talked about as well((From what I know,it is only on DVDS)) |
