Just rewatched higurashi season 1 I'd rate it a 7 at most
In fact, I'm pretty sure the average higurashi fan has to be retarded.
99% of higurashi discussion:
> waifufaggotry
> theorycrafting about some autistic bullshit like uhh is the blond bitch from umineko actually blond bitch 1 or blond bitch 2 from higurashi
> seething about their author forgetting how to write anything because they don't like his other works (conveniently ignoring how retarded the original is)
Meanwhile umineko discussion is actual analysis of the characters motivations etc and actual stuff you can reflect on, but higufags HATE it for some reason
I haven't seen gou sotsu yet but if original higu fans hate it, it must be good.
