When They Cry fans got a much welcomed surprise when the announcement of a new Higurashi anime project was announced back in January 2020. Initially presented as a remake of the original anime under the name Higurashi – New, the series was revealed to be a sequel to the original story during the second episode. Going under the name Higurashi Gou, the series had some vague similarities to the original but managed to present various story elements with a new twist.

Treating each new fragment similar to how she normally would, Rika attempts to stop things from escalating with knowledge gained from the original loops. Of course, things don’t exactly go as planned. Though she has all the right answers, a certain someone is actively manipulating things to play out much differently.
