DIE CICADAS!!


As you walk, you thought that you'd heard footsteps behind you. You paused for awhile. You heard nothing and continued with your walking. But after awhile, you start to hear a fainter footstep. And when you stopped, that faint footstep, is just a second slower in stopping after you. Someone or something was breathing down the back of your neck. Slowly turning your head to see who it was, but it's only your shadow.......

You'd always felt that someone had always been watching you. Even when you close your eyes, you could still feel its stare right through your eyelids. But when you open to see who it was, all you see is the four walls around you....


SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!



When everything you do had never seemed right, whenever you're always the one to be blame, you felt that you need to end this right now. You took the blade and pulled it across your wrist. You thought blood would come gushing out, but something was not right. Maggots start crawling out of the wound, nibbling at the flesh. Instead of bleeding, you're dripping maggots. You tried to dig them all out but more starts to pour out from from the wound.....



LIES! LIES! LIES! LIES! LIES! LIES! LIES! LIES! LIES! LIES! LIES! LIES! LIES! LIES! LIES!



After watching Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, I felt extremely sick, physically and mentally. This is because, it had not only tested my low IQ to understand who got murdered and who was the murderer, but all the *screams bloody murder* scenes of those being murdered and tortured. I find it as sick as Silent Hill the movie.....

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni or When Cicadas Cry revolves around a small town call Hinamizawa and a strings of bizarre deaths or else also known as 'Oyashiro-sama's curse'. The anime revolves around five characters, each with their own different past and in each arc, either one of them dies or becomes the murderer. The curse starts when the town rallied against a dam construction:

1st year, the dam construction manager dies. (I hope I got this right)
2nd year, the 'Houjou' family that supports the dam dies,
3rd year, the priest that helped the 'Houjou' family dies
4th year, the mean aunt to the 'Houjou' sibling dies

First episode shocked me when I watched it, the first scene was somebody batting...... yeah.. batting the bodies that is. Blood was spraying everywhere on the wall, and he keep batting them although they were dead. Bones cracked and limbs become distorted each time the bat hits the body.... *pukes*

Higurashi season 1 consists of four question arcs and 2 answers arcs. Questions arcs are where the scenes where were made to question whether the killer is this specific person whereas the answer arcs explains the situations and the actual killer to the question arc.

The most painful scene for me where one of the character called Shion had to go through 'Distinction' to redeem her 'sins' and spectators who were from the three great family in Hinamizawa sat there to watch her remove her fingernails;yeah, not one but THREE! And the tool that they use was....*pukes dinners*. Looks really complex, you shave wood with it? They strapped her hand to the 'tool' and forcefully placed one of her fingernails into a slot. Somebody just hit the handle of the 'tool', it jerked upwards and all of a sudden, her fingernails when flying off her fingers into the air... Three times.......toetemo kurushii neh



Scenes where their faces twisted with evil laughter and thoughts were quite.......disturbing especially when they go "UNFORGIVABLE! UNFORGIVABLE! UNFORGIVABLE! UNFORGIVABLE! UNFORGIVABLE!" *violent rocking motion*

Or when they start taking out their weapons either the bat or the machete, or the taser......or.. kitchen knife....

When Geneon decided to licensed the anime, I had to stayed up 2 nights just to complete the whole season and endured through the sick torture scenes. In the end, I got really sick nightmare from it. Some corn-mill thingy bashing some dead person's skull............ I'd better not talk 'bout it.

At first I was intrigued to play the anime PS2 game, but to think that I didn't last 15 minutes on Fatal Frame 2, I decided to forget about it. I couldn't even imagine myself reading the manga. But the song is quite nice though, nice to put it on repeat.... *smiles evil twisted smile*





And now, I'm waiting for season 2 which is out in July that has the answer arc to the 2 remaining question arc as well as a new story arc.
WOOT?
