Higurashi – SOTSU Confirms July Debut Date with 2 Back-to-Back Episodes!

You might have seen a lot of psychological thrillers and horror animes. But trust me when I say that Higurashi: When They Cry is the most brilliant one you’ll ever come across.

This anime brings together a series of brutal murders, kidnappings, and insanity: all packed together in just a few episodes. It is by far one of the scariest yet beautifully written anime to date.

The franchise’s website announced that their upcoming installment, Higurashi: When They Cry – SOTSU, will premiere on 1st July 2021 on various channels across Japan.

The show will broadcast the first two episodes of the season back-to-back on the premiere day.

The Twitter account of the anime revealed a picture with an eerie background that displayed all the broadcasting details.

Higurashi: When They Cry- SOTSU is a follow-up sequel to the anime Higurashi: When They Cry- GOU.It will take Satoko’s point of viewinto consideration and will explain the events that conspired through her eyes.

The anime was announced back in March 2021, right after the prequel, Higurashi: When They Cry- GOU, ended. It is speculated to be the last season of the brutal gore-themed show, but we still want more of it.   🙁

The show seems like a wholesome slice-of-life anime if you base it on its kawaii looking characters with sparkling eyes. But as you dig deeper, reality starts to unfold, and you realize it’s not the happy anime you thought it would be.

A word of advice, DO NOT watch the show if you’re easily scared or you get panicky while watching a thriller or horror. But if you are not, and if you enjoy watching stuff like this, then this show is just right for you!

The show might look confusing at first, but it is more than just a typical murder mystery. It has so many components picked and compiled carefully in the right amount.

This is a type of anime that will have you hold your head in bewilderment, and you will ask yourself, ‘What just happened?!?!?!’

About Higurashi: When They Cry

Higurashi: When They Cry is a Japanese murder mystery dōjin soft visual novel series produced by 07th Expansion that comprises the first two entries of the When They Cry franchise. The series focuses on a group of young friends living in the fictional rural village of Hinamizawa and the strange events that occur there in 1983.

Keiichi Maebara has just moved to the quiet little village of Hinamizawa in the summer of 1983 and quickly becomes inseparable friends with schoolmates Rena Ryuuguu, Mion Sonozaki, Satoko Houjou, and Rika Furude.

However, darkness lurks underneath the seemingly idyllic life they lead.

When madness and paranoia begin taking root in Keiichi’s heart, he will stumble straight into the mysteries at work in Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, a story that is told across multiple arcs.
