Tsuki Koi (つきこい, Follow Me) is a Japanese light novel series written by Chiaki Yamashina, with illustrations by Otohiko Takano. The series began publication on November 10, 2007 by ASCII Media Works under their Dengeki Bunko publishing imprint. I looked up at the sky. As rumored, the moon was…
Hibi ChouChou, Kimi Ni Todoke, Kare Kano, Kaichou Wa Maid-Sama, Tenjou no Kajitsu, Tokage Ouji, Akuma to Love Song, Kiken Mania
the end of arc is not there is it? I think there’s one more episode. Anyways the preview isn’t up yet, so we won’t find out just yet, but anyways I KNEW IT! Takano was WAY too suspicious even since season 1.
The arc ends at 13 I think. Takano~!
whoo hoo another episode of higurashi………*ahem* i mean uhhh DAM TAKANO SHES ONE OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! poor tomitake i wonder if he’ll live err i mean in one of the other worlds if there r any left
Excellent. In one of the arcs from the first season it was hinted that Takano might have killed Tomitake. The arc where Kei kills the uncle and gets picked up by Taknano. There was Tomitake’s bicycle in the back seat, Takano wouldn’t answer about what was in the trunk, etc.
Definitely this would end again in despair… poor Rika 🙁 everything she done so far would be put into waste due to Takano’s scheme.
Well… do you know that the main complaint with the first season was exactly the opposite right? That they were rushing things to no end, that they were leaving a LOT of scenes that, while didn’t develop the story, they did developed the characters and their relationships. And thus, the 1st season received a big BOOOOH from the original game players.
In a series, not everything is about advancing the stories, or about the OMG factor. Sometimes you have to stop, feel an everyday life of the characters, look at how the characters struggle with every little things they need in order to accomplish their goal so that you can FEEL for the characters, not just for the story.
Overall, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni is not about a story about killer loli’s, or a mistery thriller, like the first season seemed to be. Higurashi no Naku koro Ni is a story about friendship, and overall about trust. You can’t feel the author intention if you aren’t presented with all the efforts the protagonists are making in order to protect it.
Proto: I agree every episode doesn’t need a major “OMG factor” and I can appreciate shows where not much appears to happen on surface of each episode. Often for such series, when it’s viewed in its entirety, you get to see the added story development of those episodes. Given that, whose complaint was that the first season was exactly the opposite? If it’s more the manga purist, then (I never thought I’d be saying this, because I was once a manga purist) they need to realize that telling a story via a show is much different than a book. A reader can control his/her own pace to his/her liking simply by reading faster or slower; however, for a show, you watch it at the pace it’s presented. It’s hard to find a good balance on what pace will appeal to most users, so I guess this is entirely up for debate. Personally, I loved the pace of the first season. ^_^ v
