6.8/10
Higurashi When They Cry: Onikakushi:
slice of life fans when nothing happens
no but seriously this was the most boring shit for the first half, then all of a sudden it gets mega intriguing and really good like bruh why not start like that
would probably be a 9 if it wasnt boring for 5 hours
on to the second chapter
7.5/10
~~~~~~~
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni: Watanagashi:
again jack shit happened till like chapter 6... think its gonna become a routine in each episode.... eh well see ig. im also not entirely sure how these connect to each other. is it a timeloop? is it a different timeline? ig itll be answered in time in another episode
anyway besides that there was some good lore in here about the town and shion was the first character in this series i felt i could entirely trust besides ooishi. i think even though the ending was epic, i still enjoyed episode 1's scenario more. i assume episode 3's gonna be a direct continuation of this episode.
with all of these things in consideration im gonna give this a 7/10.
episode 3 here i come.

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni: Tatarigoroshi:
(minor spoilers kind of not really)
7.8/10
easily the best climax of the 3 so far, and honestly the ending was pretty good too. i think it's finally starting to delve into meta timelines/loops, so im pretty excited to see where it finally goes, unless im looking into it too much and they never realize there's a loop lol. anyway, i still enjoyed onikakushi's scenario the most, but this one i still think is better for the climax/falling action. which i think its odd i think that, because i think it has the worst lead up to "the good part" and it was dragged out too much, but seeing the murder plan was great and it hooked me as soon as it started. man, how is it i was the most bored in the semi-good part but still enjoyed it the most? ill have to sit on that.
as of now, onikakushi has the best scenario. watanagashi has the best ending, and this has the best climax/falling action. my only wish is for it to delve into meta timeloops in the later episodes. time for episode 4. this might be the last game of 2021 lmao

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni: Himatsubushi:
5/10
meh
the worst one yet, not interesting in the slightest outside of the ending that was kinda cool.
i said it before but my calculated average for this is a 6.8/10, rounded up to a 7
