watched a video on higurashi ch 2 and 5 again and yet again my brain is going twinstwinstwinstwinstwinstwinstwinstwins
#twins and their obsessions and the loss of identity and its tragedy arghhhh#but seriously as a mystery story higurashi is fucking excellent#the way it forces the reader to ask questions and notice inconsistencies and biased perspectives#and then layering in information in the perfect way#to lead the reader to the exact answers of the mysteries without going back and explaining everything in detail#(well except for 2 being explained thoroughly as hell lol)#you're handed the pieces and everything falls into place#but some aspects still can be interpreted differently#anyway small town horrors in the 80s my beloved#(altho ironically i like ch 6 the most but i think the way 2 and 5 are handled kinda makes them the best#altho 3 is the best question arc story)#the anime is my worst enemy tho i cant believe how infinitely better the visual novel is#altho i find the relationship between the writer being so encouraging of others writing their own stories in that setting#vs the official bonus arcs by other writers being so fucking ass and terrible kinda hilarious#(the better one out of them is basically a general silent hill story tbh)#personally i'm devastated that my first way of getting into it was via the anime and only seeing it as a horror#and not a mystery that has answers that can be determined before the question arcs
