The thing that bugs me about Higurashi When They Cry is about how- they do the unreliable narrator thing but it’s like ( to be fair the anime does this worse ) there are no cracks in this unreliability? Like occasionally we see things as they are, Mion and Rena just being kind friends and helping Keiichi, but some of the other stuff is like? Unless he is having all forms of hallucination right now this makes zero sense in context to the later answer arcs?

Also Mion and her family like actually kill people that’s not a delusion or anything they straight up have a torture room in their basement.

#aaronymous ramblings #higurashi when they cry #higurashi spoilers #higurash no naku koro ni #i have one last answer arc to read and then im done so dont spoil the last one #but do they ever address the sonozaki thing like they kill people #i love mion but its hard to be all happy fun times with her when rika and shion are fully aware of what she is capable of and what she does #also slightly disappointed that some of the first arcs were like mildly retconned into unreliable narratiom??#like maybe it was all planned from the beginning but it doesnt feel like it #the anime is a lot worse with this but when i was reading the sound novels i was still like?? for about an hour i kinda let go but now that #im watching the anime up until where I’ve read and like there are legit scenes where keiichi would not see them and they have the evil face #which especially if you are doing unreliable narration in a visual form does not work
