ok well the name of this anime is Higurashi no naku koro ni, or the american name... When the Cicadas Cry.

i wanted to know if anyone would be interested in watching this anime, only consisting of 2 seasons with 26 eps in 1st and 24 eps in 2nd.

the way it's laid out is in arcs. the first arc will start from the POV of one character, and as the arc ends all the characters either die, or just go missing/disappear (doesn't sound as hanging as it may).
The next arc will start from another character's POV, though revealing more of the story and building on as you progress throughout the series.

the shows are hella suspenseful, and the characters actions give an eerie aura that makes your skin crawl at times... /foreshadow, and makes you feel like you need to make sure all your door's and blinds are closed.. yesh if at night indeed, trust me

here's the link for a more in-depth plot to the story, the previous typing was the mood and tone it sets, based on my experience. plus its gory and violent yes, what not to love about a pretty fine girl, and no i'm not a fckin pedo hitting on anime girls x_x , wielding a machete and owning with it
here's a link giving a brief description of it, the plot, etc...

so yea if you're interested i can upload the torrents here for you, and technically i havnt made these, they're from the fansub group WinD )we're in denial) im just trying to publicize it, and take no credit for their amazing work.

just to note, the vids are in japanese, with eng subs, (all done by WinD, and very accurate and good at that ^,^ )

I wondered is This the series, well, episode one anyway?

Moved to Animation discussions/reviews from here

Only watched the first 10 seconds of the video and my interest is peaked - if this is the same show. I believe so though from the comments on Youtube and the description on ANN.

Been so out of the loop in regards to anime these days. All of these series that I haven't seen/heard of. Need to catch up, but so many places to begin. Guess this would be a great place to start!

okay as i said in my prev post this would be the first torrent i made so yea there might be faults in this but i went ahead and uploaded it in the my 1st torrent section, with added info from making a "real" release. so yeah its almost done seeding fully, and should be up.

PS i have school so i wont be able to seed 24/7... but i'll have it running till the few who want it get it, then i'll go from there.

if you like it, as i do indeed, then i can go on to upload the rest of season 1 eventually, then season 2, *remembering i am a fishy in high school and there's a significant amount of work i have =_=*

here's the link to the post it's on, im almost done seeding completely

Oh awesome.. I'll let ya know how I like it. :)

In the same boat myself when it comes to making torrents and whatnot, so no worries. I know how that goes. And no probs if it's a little slow. I'll be sure to seed for as long as I can to help you out a bit.

Awesome anime, have seen the first season and is one of my favorites, havent gotten around to the second season yet though.

OK Peoplessss, in the process of figuring out how to make/seed/etc torrents, i think i might have it down, and sry for the previous episode torrent not working (internet connectivity issues, family also uses router... obviously slows my speeds)

well by the end of tonight/today i shall have a new topic up with the whole first chapter downloaded eps 1 - 4, and hopefully that will work out~

ill put the link here to it when its done

here;s the link for it :

Oh, way cool! Finally got a chance to watch that first episode last night and I have to say... It was off the wall as hell but loved it! Definitely gonna have to download all four.

Thanks for pointing me towards it!

i agree the anime is off the HOOK
kinda gory and shocking (i personally had to look away at one point)

SPOILER
when mion has her fingernails fulled off


i personally havnt seen the second season but i have seen the ova it connects the seasons
a word of warning though for all who are going to watch it
it wolnt make much sence(cant spell) untill the end when it all comes together

When They Cry Higurashi...I have the full 26 Episodes and I am currently watching it. I would recommend it.

Personally I have not found it shocking at all, but I am not easily shocked. It is not just gory for the sake of it and has a lot more depth than other anime. I am not a fan of gory stuff as a general rule.

This is really good anime, and if you look at the artists involved, and you know a little about the genre...you will be impressed.

Sorry for spam... hehehe

What genre of this anime???

Horror, suspense, thriller. But I guess it's primarily horror. although you can find out lots more about it from google, or animesuki etc.

I'm wathing this series now. I watched the first 4 episodes and thought I watched them in the wrong order. I put on episode 5 and was sure I'd done something wrong somehow. I logged onto here and read about the "arcs". I feel much better now and will continue watching.
