Toon Zone Talkback - "When They Cry: The Complete Series": Absolutely Heart-Stopping Horror
- Thread starter Big B!!~
- Start date
I love hearing positive things about some good ol' Higurashi. One of the very few horror anime to actually scare me. Totally fitting for the Halloween mood.
Thank you.
Oh yeah, the dub for this could have been a lot better by the way. I hope if FUNi can get the sequel over, it gets a redub. Oh and Umineko too. I can hear Clinkenbeard as Beatrice and Mignogna as Battler now....

But wait a minute, Higurashi wasn't a FUNi dub, it was a FUNi rescue originally dubbed by Geneon so they wouldn't have to use the same ones would they?
Rrrrrrrrrrrrr

The dub was recorded in Los Angeles, so...no.
God, I hate the cover of the box set. It's the same cover as volume 1. I'm worried that FUNi doesn't give a crap of this show.

It's not like this is the only show they've done that with... They did the same with the second collection for Shakugan no Shana, (Which, as far as I know, was identical to the first one except the packaging) and I believe there are others too.
In any case, I've got a somewhat strange stance towarRAB this particular series. On one hand, pretty much everything I hear about it pretty much screams "YOU WILL PROBABLY NOT ENJOY THIS SERIES AT ALL!" seeing how I really don't like horror, but I'm also a bit curious about it, making me kinda want to watch it anyway despite it being in one of the very few genres I specifically try to avoid... (Also, a friend of mine says that it's her favourite series, though her descriptions of it kinda adRAB to the whole "YOU WILL PROBABLY NOT ENJOY THIS SERIES AT ALL!"-impression I have...)

Well, that's not right. This is a great show. Why would they say that....
Oh....
Um, wow, okay well, I think it's worth a watch. At least the first four episodes so you can get the tone. I mean, if you're curious, yes definitely check it out but um....
You know what, I'm gonna let the OP song talk for me That should give you an idea of what the show is like.
(I freaking love that song by the way)

I'm actually glad that Higurashi received a positive review. Curiously enough, however, for all of the violence and gore I was able to bear it without any particular problems. But something like Saw? Forget about it. I suppose certain things are a lot less disgusting to see in animated form, even though they still remain incredibly creepy and even occasionally shocking.
It's also interesting to note that the musical score for the series, both seasons included, has what seems to be considered as one of Kenji Kawai's weaker efforts according to certain fan circles, but like the reviewer I was also able to appreciate it in time.
The script does have a few inconsistencies and irritating issues, mind you, but that's why the follow-up is so important. I've mentioned at least a couple of times that the sequel series is something of a different beast, yes, but in retrospect that was precisely what made the whole experience a lot more worthwhile for me instead of just something worth dragging out every Halloween.
Speaking of the visual novels...I definitely want to buy those too, provided that the price isn't insane.

Mangagamer got a bad rap because of a snafu in which one of their titles was delayed; they pushed back the ship date, but somebody forgot to cancel people's preorders of the download edition. This resulted in an extremely rough beta draft of the script being sent to their customers (and subsequently, circulated throughout the Internet.) I haven't played any of their games myself, but from what I hear, they're decently done - or maybe Shuffle! players just have lower standarRAB, I don't know.
I'm pretty sure Ever17 was done by a different company.
