Higurashi When They Cry: Abducted by Demons Arc
| This used to be super popular when it came out, but you know what ppl watch these days, isekai.. |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Did i become a boomer or new seasonals animes are not hitting the spot anymore ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| I wouldnt say its underreated at all. The public see the original Higurashi as a classic. |
 |
| The anime fandom took a free fall into pure degeneracy somewhere in the 2010s. Trashy fanservice anime used to be super niche and looked down on. Now it's the main meat of the plate every season and a requirement for popularity since the fanbase appears to be 70% incel now. I don't seem myself watching much anime anymore if this continues. |
 |
| I for one will surely sing praises of this anime untill I die. Many of my anime watching friends sadly don't know about this masterpiece 😭. Time to educate people about such good anime. |
 |
| I completely agree with you. I think this anime is criminally underrated.  |
| It's 178 in popularity and amongst some of the most loved anime. It's well-received enough to get 2 sequels. How is it underrated? |

| > Among top 200 in popularity. > Scores 7.9 in MAL and 7.8 on IMDB. Don't think so. Maybe the term could be forgotten, but not underrated. |

| It just kinda lost its popularity I guess. It was THE talking point back in the day and with the release of the 'remakes' it got some traction. It's the most well-known horror anime though. |
 This is a cartoon site, you clown. Elitism in general is cringe enough already. Let people enjoy stuff. Reminder to stay hydrated and read Umineko No Naku Koro Ni |
| The show is fine were it’s at. I think some of y’all fail to understand what a hidden gem is. This series is very well known. |
under”Mebius” is my salvation  |

| This is one of the most famous, overrated anime I’ve heard of. Not to say it wasn’t good, but this is super popular lol. I actually had a HUUUUUGE issue with it. I was SO close to dropping the series, but people kept saying it was a masterpiece, but I forced myself. The problem with this series is that I was promised this cool psychological thriller, and then I get to the end of episode one and… the main character dies? Then I get to the next episode, they’re alive, but then they die again? Then it continues. So I’m just like… so this is an episodic series of various people going crazy and dying? That’s f*****g stupid. I hate this. This is getting boring. I want to watch an actual series with a plot. Then Keiichi gets images of him killing Mion. “You remember.” I lose my SHIT. HOLY F***. Shit’s going down. This isn’t another person going crazy episode, now we’re getting into crazyass timeline shenanigans? My score goes up from a 5 to an 8. Maybe it could’ve been more, or honestly, maybe I was too generous with that 8. Because the problem remained: the viewer has no way of knowing that this is all going to connect. Instead, we’re just watching some episodic show of various people losing their minds and killing people. A lot of people hate episodic shows. But we can’t tell them “don’t worry it’s actually all canon” without spoiling the ending. Even a vague, “Don’t worry, it’ll all make sense,” can still not be enough for some people. The biggest issue with this story, imo, is also what makes it so amazing. |
