Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, some ramblings on recently watched anime

Higurashi- I’m not gonna go in-depth on this one, but I’d like to give a thumbs-up to this series. I’m really impressed so far. It has the most interesting OP of the season (forgive me, Haruhi fanatics!) and does a scarygood job of combining loli, comedy, and horror/mystery. It’s far creepier than Tsukihime was already, and I imagine it’ll just get better… oh, and best. Eyecatch. Ever.

That aside, this week’s been kind of slow. I’m waiting for my final judgement on Utawarerumono episode 3, and anticipating episodes 3 of xxxHOLiC and .hack//Roots.

Disgaea 2 was a winner, and I’m definitely going to continue watching it. Soul Link 3, as predicted, sucked (comparably with Joshikousei 2) but hell, I’m bored. Haruhi 3 was great fun, but depending on how Higurashi goes it might not end up being my favorite anime of the season. Zegapain 2 was meh. I’ll probably drop it some time soon… did I mention I don’t care for mechas?

Oh, and an update on our goal: loliyuri ice cream now renders search results in Google! Unfortunately the first result is the old notdotq location… but more notably, the second set of results all comes from Kono Sono~! I didn’t think about it at the time they put a link up to me in their blogroll, but I guess the “loliyuri ice cream-” part of my link text was done for the goal’s benefit. I’m putting out a big thank you out to the team there. Thanks for your support, and may you have many gallons of loliyuri!

it is moist & delicious meta

and it's not even a lie!

You shoudl be burned at the stake for comparing haruhi with Higu, they’re both entirely different things. BURN IN HELL.

I actually get the feeling that, unless Haruhi becomes angsty melodrama harem, it’ll the awesome light show of the season and Higurashi will be the awesome dark show of the season. They’ll form a nice balance.

Then the chosen one will come. Preferably not another anakin.

So far, Higurashi > Suzumiya Haruhi, because, to me, properly executed mystery/creepiness > properly executed comedy. :)

Ichigo Mashimaro still owns Higurashi, so Haruhi can’t be perfect… or maybe the little girls are winning me over.

I think the comedy in higurashi are too recycled I mean. Although the horror/mystery touch is very unique, they could’ve use some better jokes.(I mean fighting over food scenes have been around since ever.)

Ichigo wins for roris. It’s rori paradise.

I might be wrong but… I don’t think anyone’s into Higurashi for the comedy.
