[Note: When they Cry is not for people who dislike gore or that are younger than 16.] When They Cry is one of those anime series that you cannot stop watching once you start, its delightfully dark themes and intriguing situations make it addictive and blood chilling at times. The characters are insane yet lovable, the series likes to use paranoia and human fears to mount up to the finale of each arch. The series is aired in archs that present you with a mystery and no explanation until later in the series, once you start watching When They Cry 2 (Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni Kai) your mounting questions will be completely answered and the suspense will be relieved only to be replaced with a suspense filled fight scene against the perpetrator of all of the insanity. Overall it is an amazing series that will leave you with a fangirl/fanboy look on your face if you are a fan of horror. I do dislike the fact that the series relies heavily on the fact you need to watch the 2nd season in order to understand why everything is happening, sadly the 2nd season has not been released in the United States yet, but it is definitely worth the wait. I definitely would recommend buying the series if you are a fan of horror or dark themes, I do not tend to like buying things unless I really love them. With this series, I did not need to ponder over if I loved it enough to want to buy it, because I already knew it was amazing.Read full review
As someone who has read the visual novel, I found this adaptation of the story to be quite good for someone who might not have the time to read the original VN and still very much enjoyed watching this.
