Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Sotsu - 01-02 [First Look] - Anime Evo

Here we go again. With a season of rest we are right back to it with Higurashi. The one surprising element is that we get the first two episodes coming out together. The episodes themselves weren’t very surprising though. This was basically what they set up at the end of last season. We are seeing a complete reveal on how the previous season started. I’d like say we got some major surprises, but we honestly didn’t. The only technical surprise is that Rena went out to murder the woman that her father was interested in. That is a nice extra detail. But it doesn’t change anything since we know why this is happening. Sure, there are motivations that made Rena hate this person. But it almost doesn’t matter since Rena was drugged about halfway through the first episode and none of this is on her.
