    A worthy sequel of Higurashi
    It is a sequel of Higurashi(2006). First three arcs feels like the reboot of original but with different conditions.

    1) What if Keicchi trust his friends in first arc?

    2) What if Keicchi gives doll to Mion and not Rena in second arc?

    3) What if Satako's friends decide to free her from Teppei unitedly instead of murdering Teppei in third arc?(Although this has been explored in Higurashi Kai but here end twist is different)

    The next two arcs is what uplift the show impressively. This arcs sort of connect Higurashi with Umineko (another When They Cry series). I am hyped for Sotsu now. I hope that series give Higurashi a good conclusion.

    So if you have watched original Higurashi then this will not disappoint you.

    If you haven't then also watch it. I am sure that you would want to watch original after watching gou.
