...No, I meant mind ####. And Shinji can still be hardcore, he just has a mental disorder (like all the other main characters), watch the Rebuild movies of Evangelion.
Just so you know, if you finished the When they cry anime, read the manga. They make up some of the slight harem stuff with more in-depth descriptions.
Dude, did you know that Higurashi was made by a doujin group?! it seems there are only three members, one of which has died. And doujin games are projects from no-namers, who present stuff at conventions. So they must be lucky for having it as a anime.
Yeah, the reason why Keiichi (I assume you've seen the first arc) acts like the way he was in the first episode is explained in the later ones (ep 22-26), and the explanation is pretty good, not an a**pull.
Ya rally. Its good too know another person here like Higurashi. I read some of the manga, and it sticks decently, and I try hard to ignore all the Harem stuff. But its still good and legit.
What did you see first, the manga or the anime? Because I think the anime sticks a bit closer to the games, while the manga has some hints of a harem subplot...*facepalm*
