View Full Version : Higurashi - Requests for new threads
Since the Higurashi no Naku Koro ni forum is now limited (only Mods and Admin can create new threads), this thread serves as a way to request a new thread to be created.
Please post here if you wish to request a new Higurashi no Naku Koro ni thread. Please bear in mind that we will only accept reasonable requests, we wish to maintain the focus within the forum and cut down on the noise (so no pointless threads cluttering up the place).
Don't forget that you may still post in existing threads as usual, the only restriction is that you may not create new threads within this particular forum.

Yay!
New forum!
Since we piece together theories from various episodes, we'll definately need some kind of theory thread. I think other members could go into better detail, though.

Could we also have a general merchandise thread (like in the Utawarerumono forum)?

Yes, definitely.
Since I haven't played the game and have only started to watch the series, I'll have to leave this up to someone like kj1980 but maybe there's a need for two different threads concerning such speculation.
One where people (most likely non-game players) can post their ideas and thoughts as to where they think the series is going (a sort of "non-spoiler" speculation thread). And then a second thread for the people who have played the game where they can discussion the actual events in the game and their interpretation of the way they think the anime will go.
Any comments on this (again, it's going to be something that kj1980 will have to decide on) but comments from the non-game players are welcome. It might be that just a "non-spoiler" and "spoiler" speculation thread would be better suited.
Could we also have a general merchandise thread (like in the Utawarerumono forum)?
What! You mean we can already purchase Rena-chan meat cleavers! Cool!
We do plan to create the usual threads so give us a day or so to sort ourselves out. I want to make sure there isn't the same problems (http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=31036) we had with the other new forums we've been creating latley.
I'm sure Catgirls will create the Image and Avatar threads, and kj1980 will create the Game and Speculation threads. I'll look at making some of the others as well.
Damn.. someone got to the merchandise asking before me! >.<

What about a TIPS thread? The few TIPS that were posted really helped the speculation. They're not spoilers as such....anime-only Higurashi just didn't get them, so we're at a disadvantage, right?

It would be good to have a "guessing game/speculation game" thread instead of a normal speculation one. Somewhat like a normal speculation thread but with some expert on Higurashi giving out hints and keep the guessing game going (like what we had in the old Higurashi thread)
What about a TIPS thread? The few TIPS that were posted really helped the speculation. They're not spoilers as such....anime-only Higurashi just didn't get them, so we're at a disadvantage, right?
I think the tips should be inside the speculation thread - we all know how many people wanna speculate.

Yeah, I suggested a new thread for the TIPS so they don't get jumbled up with other posts - so readers can easily refer to it. But I suppose that problem can be resolved by just putting the TIPS in the first post only. =D
I know it's early, but 3-4 months later this forum probably needs a "favorite chapter poll+discussion" thread.
Just in case if you haven't noticed it already, the TIPS thread (http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=31732) has been created as a sticky on top of this sub-forum.
Please feel free to utilize them in your quest to solve the mystery. As stated in that thread, no posting is allowed there unless you can help contribute by translating some of the TIPS.
As of today, all the TIPS for the Onikakushi-hen chapter have been done. As the most recent episode was the beginning to Watanagashi, we've gone and started some of the Watanagashi-hen TIPS up to the relevant point of most-recently aired episode.

Would it be practical to add separate speculation/guess work threads for each story arc? We can keep the general speculation thread to talk about the overall story, and then keep smaller, arc-specific questions for each respective thread. That would save headaches when the momentum of questions start to appear at the end of the 2nd arc.
Also, maybe add a character speculation/comment thread too?
[Edited]
Let me add that threads for each episode should probably be more for expressing about what people thought of the episode than what people think what's happening in this mystery. The problem with adding speculation and thoughts about the story is that it gets split among 4-5 threads for each story arc.
Just a thought, anyway.

I think the each individual episodes will do just fine...it's kind of difficult to regulate what people thought about the episode without leaving out dicussions as this is a mystery/suspense anime. So I'll keep the format as it is: episode thread for impressions, comments, and question regarding to that episode/chapter, and the general thread for overall questions.
As for the character speculation, I'll create something similar to the one in the Fate thread.

Maybe you guys should have a FAQ, controlled only you the moderators to answer/comment on the questions that keeps seemingly to pop up, such as:
- How are the chapters related to each other?
- Is that a gun on Mion's shoulder?
- Why is Rika so cute?
Then you can tell anyone who asks to please refer to the FAQ. I too keep feeling like it's broken record when the same question. Also, I think it kinda wastes time when KJ and Sushi have to write long descriptions of what's going on. And I'm sure we all asked all three questions at some point. ;)

Can we start threads for each 'chapter' or 'arc' of the series? I was trying to post something about the shion/mion thing, but they could fall into any of the episode 5-8 threads.

Someone mentioned this earlier. Although there is a general theory discussion to discuss overall questions, would anyone see a benefit of having a discussion section pertaining to each chapter? For example, we already have:
1. Discussion sections for each episode (x 26)
2. An overall general theory section (x 1)
3. And the possibilty of discussion sections for each chapter (x 6)
It is inevitable that such discussions will overlap. I need to see more of the pros and cons of gaining six additional chapter discussion sections. For example, what is there to stop people who have watched Watanagashi-hen to start spoiling in Onikakushi-hen? If such chaos ensues, it might be better off to leave the overall discussion with that singular general theory section. Please give me your input.

I like the idea, but I don't think I'm the only the one that has a terrible time wanting to be surprised at chapters but keep hitting the spoiler button on posts anyway. Which probably seems really wierd. I would vote on putting up the chapter discussions as they finish in the anime series, this would allow people that have played the game to give input on things that were left out in the anime series.
I'll put up a really crappy pros and cons list
Pros
-It allows for a more in depth look at chapters,characters,plot and setting
-People who played the game can toss in things left out
-By putting up chapters already played in the anime it allows for more feedback from other members
-Not necessary for people to put up spoiler tags
Cons
-Overlapping with a series like this it's probably gonna more with later chapters looking back on earlier ones.
-Flaming wars are likely but maybe can be avoided (ex. the your wrong i'm right type stuff)
-Admins/Mods have to lookout for people putting in other chapter spoilers. A person may be discussing Onikakushi-hen because they have'nt seen Watanagashi-hen yet.
This is just some things I thought up off the top of my head.

Wouldn't it be better to separate opinions of an episode, and theories into different threads? Otherwise we just get a lot of dispersed discussion?
So I'd agree.

So I'd agree.
On the other hand, as there are discrepancies between on "raw" viewers versus people who watch different versions of "fansubs," there still is a high possibility of people discussing so-and-so and some person accidentally reading a subject from a title he/she has not seen yet within that chapter.
So the question comes, when am I to make these threads for each chapter? After the episode airs in Japan, or after all the "fansub" groups finished that chapter? So it seems that the fansubs finished the Onikakushi-hen chapter, I can go and make a discussion section for Onikakushi-hen. However, Watanagashi-hen finished over here in Japan, but no "fansub" group has finished it yet (and possibly only one will this weekend). Will it be "safe" to say to make a Watanagashi-hen thread even though other people have not watched that chapter in it's entireity due to reasons of choosing whether to watch a non-subtitled Japanese "raw," or preference over certain "fansub" groups?
I would say when it becomes available in Japan (the same as for an episode). I know I generally stay out of the thread until I've actually seen the episode, so I know other people can do it as well.

Yes, but that in turn is a dangerous understatement. It's like going to an thread that discusses about the latter half of Star Wars (IV, V, VI). Many will go there to discuss after they see everything. However, you cannot dismiss the possibility of some people going in there by only seeing IV. So when they come in, they are in shock because they find out Luke's father was Darth Vader.
So in order to avoid this, I write a statement to only see this thread after you've seen ALL the four episodes pertaining to that specific chapter. Would everyone agree to this part? If you see it without watching the ALL of that chapter, it is that person's own responsibility. Is this agreeable?

I remember my original reason for asking for separate chapter arcs was mainly for organization purposes. The biggest concern was cross-referencing between threads for theories. The hardest part is getting people to realize this and writing in the "correct" threads.
If you do decide to create separate threads for each chapter, it should be for the start of the first episode starting that chapter. Let comments, opinions, raves and rants about quality in animation and translation be for eps threads. Let more speculation, theories and guesswork about what the hell is going on be in the chapter arcs and general theory.
Also, IMHO, let people know it contains spoilers because personally I'm getting tired of using SPOILER tags. If someone truly is reading chapter arcs for theories and speculations without watching the show, he/she deserves to get spoiled. I think SPOILER tags should be for info from the game that's not in the anime or are true game plot spoiler points the viewer is not aware of yet.
Edited: Wow, like 4 comments added that I didn't read while I wrote this, so if you think my comments are directed to you in a harsh way, it's probably because I wasn't aware of it at the time.

What you are asking seems to be good organization, but has the high probabilty of the increase in cross-referenced posts.
Okay, let me rephrase: what makes it difficult right now between discussing each pertaining episode and a singular general theory section that we have now? If you've seen up to Ep.8, you can write your thoughts on Ep. 8 thread. If you want to discuss it overall, you have the general discussion section. Do we really need to have more subdivisions? Wouldn't that make things more complicated, if not on your end, but on moderating ends as well?
As for spoiler tags, the rule stands. I have far too many seen the loss of interest for blurting out spoilers from the Fate thread, and I do not wish to allow ANY game spoiler whatsoever in the thread (except for the thread noted as game spoiler).

Main problem is that we have different people's theories on different episode threads AND on the general discussion thread, and then they refer back to their own or other's posts on a different thread. If we had an arc discussion thread, and left the episode threads simply for discussing the quality, memorable parts, etc. of the episode, it would reduce confusion, surely?

Yeah, and that's why I stated that "the hardest part is getting people to realize this and writing in the 'correct' threads." It'll probably be more work for all the moderators, so that's why I don't push on these things.
Personally for me, my true feelings are that I don't care one way or another at this point. I've been with the show since the beginning and have read the threads here in and out enough to know when and where certain members have made their comments. The number of people who currently currently contributing is fairly small and it's not difficult to maneuver around to find overlapping comments across the board. The only thing I do think about is the momentum of new fans coming to the show and to this board, but at the rate things are going, it doesn't seem bad. So that's my 2 cents.
As for spoiler tags, the rule stands. I have far too many seen the loss of interest for blurting out spoilers from the Fate thread, and I do not wish to allow ANY game spoiler whatsoever in the thread (except for the thread noted as game spoiler).
OFFTOPIC: I understand your concern and I'm sure we all appreciate the hard work on preventing spoilers. That said, FSN is an not an example of people losing interest because of they found out too much but because of higher/different expectations and a delivery it didn't plan to make. Not a problem of the show of course, but of the fanbase who were prepared for too much, I guess.
I mean seriously, you think people would stop watching when they hear about a harem sex scene between 3 characters.
Why not just let the thread for the last episode in a chapter be both for discussing the episode and for the whole chapter.
Why not just let the thread for the last episode in a chapter be both for discussing the episode and for the whole chapter.
Well, because the thread for the last episode doesn't go up until it airs in Japan, which means that all of the speculation and theories wouldn't be able to go into it until we've already seen the whole arc.
Though I think you have a good idea if you just switch it to the first episode in a chapter.
It is inevitable that such discussions will overlap. I need to see more of the pros and cons of gaining six additional chapter discussion sections. For example, what is there to stop people who have watched Watanagashi-hen to start spoiling in Onikakushi-hen? If such chaos ensues, it might be better off to leave the overall discussion with that singular general theory section. Please give me your input.
Hm, I can understand where you are coming from, but if you have one general discussion for all theories, then it will be difficult for newbies to jump in and bring up a chapter that was last posted about 2 pages ago, etc.
Plus since it's just one general theory thread, then people who do catch on late probably end up spoiling themselves by reading something they don't understand until they are caught up with the series.
I suppose you could only start a new thread for each chapter after that chapter has already finished airing in Japan, and not so much wait for the fansubs since we can't predict when they will be released. Plus should a late comer have a question or theory, then it's still in line with the current'ness of the thread?
Sorry if I bring up the possibility of 'late comers' but I just watched the wind fansubs because I couldn't wait for Ayu any longer, and I'm flat out hooked. :twitch:
I still have little doubts for yet another thread, but I've created them to see how it works out. If it works out fine, then that's great. If it starts degenerating or if it isn't serving it's purpose, it'll be abolished. Everyone agree?

Is there a thread for the fighting fangame "Daybreak" yet? I think you should create one and people can provide menu translations ect. and updates as to when the new version is coming out (as there is only a demon now)
I would like to propose a thread to discuss which were the scariest moments for the Higurashi fans not only about the anime but also both the manga and the game in particular.
However, the most glaring drawback I see on this proposal is that some veteran fans, who have already played through the game or read the latest manga arcs, will slip heavy spoilers concerning the other "arcs" which the anime has not aired yet. Considering that the Tsumihoroboshi-hen arc has started, and the anime will only cover two out of the four "answer" arcs: Meakashi-hen and Tsumihoroboshi-hen.

I was thinking that it'd be interesting to have two of these polls, one right after Onikakushi-hen and the other after Tsumihoroboshi-hen, to see how people's views on the characters change. But bah, it's too late for #1...

Good idea, surprized it hasn't been requested before :)
The only question is what characters to include in the poll, we can have a fair number (but I think we should limit it to under 20 choices). I've only seen up to ep 13 so I'm not the best person to make the choice. Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higurashi_no_naku_koro_ni) lists 21 characters altogether.
The poll will be multiple choice and public (similar to the "Favourite Character" polls in the other series specific forums).
Perhaps there should be a thread about stuff the anime left out from the game after it ends. It seems as if the anime is leaving a lot of details out, and after reading this post

I'd recommend the poll to have at least:

Ryugu Rena
Sonozaki Mion
Hojo Satoko
Furude Rika
Sonozaki Shion
Hojo Satoshi
Kuraudo Oishi
Irie Kyosuke
Tomitake Jiro
Takano Miyo
Akasaka Mamoru
(Basically anyone who appears on-screen for multiple episodes and stands a high chance of dying)
Other characters to consider, but I'm not sure if they're important enough:
Sonozaki Oryo - The Sonozaki Head and onibaba.
Kimiyoshi Kiichiro - The Village Head; Shion suspects him of demoning away Satoshi in at least one arc.
Chie Rumiko - Teacher; most significant action was reporting Satoko's abuse, which fails.
Tatsuyoshi Kasai - Shion's bodyguard; he is kind of cool, but really doesn't do much on-screen other than wearing an apron.
Hojo Teppei - Child abuser, womanizer, alcoholic. I'm not sure who would like this guy; at least he dies at the bat of Keiichi in one arc. He is significant factor in driving the events of Tatarigoroshi-hen.
Hojo Tamae - Appears and dies rather quickly. Significant only in that she represents the 4th year's Oyashiro-sama's Curse.
Furude Ha'nyu - Doesn't even appear in the anime, I think. Nevermind.
Polls for favorite characters Pt. 2 will be posted once the anime ends, restricted to the major key players:
Maebara Keiichi
Ryuguu Rena
Sonozaki Mion
Houjou Satoko
Furude Rika
Sonozaki Shion

I know there is a translation of Minagoroshi-hen underway, but a lot of veterans have suggested that people play through the arcs covered in the anime on their own, so I was wondering, can we make some kind of thread for Japanese support amongst people who are playing the old arcs in Japanese and may need help? I checked the Learning Japanese thread in general chat, but it seems to be more general chatter about studying Japanese than specific questions. I think playing through HNNKN IS a good chance to practice Japanese, and I'm not proposing a thread for people to stick whole translations - rather, a place for people to ask specific questions - I played through Onikakushi-hen and had a hard time in quite a few places that WWWJDIC and my dictionary couldn't help me with.

Hi. I was wondering if we could have a thread for discussing and posting parodies and music videos. To avoid it becomming a long list of URLs, the ground rule could be that all links to videos should have
- Who made it
- Music and music artist
- Why do you want to share it with us
- What parts of Higurashi, if any, does the video spoil?
Sound like a good idea?
By the way, regarding the Wikipedia article:
Some of the people at Wikipedia have decided to remove spoiler warnings and also to start removing images, so there might be a need for another Wiki now that the new anime season is comming out.

I dislike Wikipedia for many reasons.>_<
I like the idea for a videos thread. No one watches them when they are posted in the Fanart section, and that's really not the right place for them.
Not sure it matters, because no mods seem to be around here anymore.O_O My suggestion has been up there for awhile, but no one's said anything...

When is Higurashi going to be moved back into "Current Series", and a thread created for ep 1? It's airing within the next 24 hrs, isn't it (not counting the apparent advance showing or whatever)?

Yes, good point. Forum moved and new thread created.
Will there be a thread for the Nekogoroshi-hen OVA?

Since one hadn't been created yet, I made the thread for Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Nekogoroshi-hen.

Can I request a Higurashi no Naku Koroni live-action thread? See, ANN just confirmed that there's gonna be a Higurashi live-action film in 2008. Oikawa Ataru is directing it.

Well... due the lack of information, it really looks like it is too soon to create a thread about it i believe (much like Umineko no Naku Koro ni, 2 months ago)
We probably gotta wait some additionals informations (if it will be the same Seiyuu, the chapter, and synopsis etc)

I saw this at the lucky star forum and thought it was a good idea. A thread that gives links to various amvs that was made for higurashi. I've seen a lot on youtube, but no place where people can recommend good amvs and/or discussing the amvs themselves. Especially since the sequal is coming out, im sure there will be even more amvs poping out.
It's a good idea, but I think we're supposed to post stuff like that here:
http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=32067
For now, at least
Hi. I was wondering if we could have a thread for discussing and posting parodies and music videos. To avoid it becomming a long list of URLs, the ground rule could be that all links to videos should have
- Who made it
- Music and music artist
- Why do you want to share it with us
- What parts of Higurashi, if any, does the video spoil?
Sound like a good idea?
Sorry for the delayed reply, but yes, it does sound like a good idea.
I am also seeing a lot of AMVs posted in the image thread and since we made that kind of threads in other forums, I can't see a reason why not here :)

Higurashi doujinshis are so impossibly funny. I am a lucky owner of some collections. 4komas are the best. ^^

TBS Tokyo is still preempting it, which we already discussed. KBS Kyoto is airing episode 12 instead to catch up, and the rest will air episode 13 when their time comes starting Monday. There's nothing more to discuss really

Episode 13 is airing in 5/6 hours or so. Shouldn't there be a thread for it? Or is it too early for that?
Klashikari
2007-10-01, 05:42
Usually, the thread is posted around 1-2 hours before it is aired.
From now, it will be aired in roughly 7 hours, so a bit too early for that.
I have a request! Why don't you open another thread for Higurashi Matsuri, but this one to explain with more details the extra arcs of the game, to those ones (like me) who haven't had the chance to play the PS2 game? Oh! And another request! Please, make a thread of Umineko no Naku Koro ni! To start discussing about the misteries from Rokkenjima Island ;D
Klashikari
2007-11-12, 01:27
That might be a good idea for the former, though it means that only players would participate almost. Also, I believe you can actually ask this on the already existing thread of Matsuri
As for the later, it was already created since the game release.
Check this link (http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=53070). Since the game doesn't have anything to do with higurashi (not a prequel/sequel/spin off of Higurashi), it shouldn't be created in higurashi sub-forum.

Apart from... Frederica Bernkastel? And the fact that it is called When They Cry 3? But yeah, I can see what you mean about Umineko. Although to be fair, without future story arcs, we can't be too sure of that. (though I doubt it will in the end - at least I would be slightly cheesed if it did)

How about a Higurashi no Naku Koro ni - Movie Adaptation thread? The website is already up (but with very few things) at http://higurashi-movie.com/.
...Nope, it's not about that porno version that came out a few months ago. XD
Id like to make a thread for animating some parts of Higurashi, rather to gather someone who can help to flash it, and rather gather people in general.
[ Maybe titled "The higurashi project" ? ]
So yah, I wanna make a project like that xD Like maybe animating Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Onisarashi-hen, higurashi rei, and others? [ Maybe Hanyuu's past? ]
It will help answer some people's questions or just satisfy others, and it would gather more people into the story, for those who were too confused to bewildered by it.
I will try and draw most of it : 3
example - http://kimum.deviantart.com/art/Hanyuu-71867230
Kuu, thanks >3<
Maybe I should try making this higurashi project thingeh somewhere else..? *confuzzled a lil*
As far as I can tell this is a sort of fan-fic request :confused:
We normally request that such threads are created in the Fan Creations (http://forums.animesuki.com/forumdisplay.php?f=14) forum. If there are a number of such fanfics then we might create a thread here to link to the various fanfic threads and use it more to notify others of updates (i.e. a sort of index thread).
After the final episode has aired in a few hours, should we have some sort of a "Favorite arc poll/discussion". I figure since this anime kind of is just 9 seperate stories that are related to each other, but aren't continuous, it could be a good idea.

No in fact, the thread was pending, but for various reasons (more so, how we are all busy and not only on AS), it wasn't posted as soon as it should be.

Rayneing
2008-02-18, 12:21
That uh, wouldn't be needed. Cause, y'know, there isn't an Umineko anime. Plus, the game is being translated, and that HAS the TIPS in it, I don't think it is really needed at all. Reading about a bunch of stakes related to the seven deadly sins does no good when you don't have a context to put them in, for example.
Klashikari
2008-02-18, 12:40
Indeed. And seriously, the TIPS in Umineko, for the moment, are merely the descriptions of the items the characters bump on. It is nowhere as cryptic and informative than in Higurashi.
The only good thing might be Beatrice comments on characters death etc.
That said, even so, it simply doesn't require a new thread: the respective umineko ep1 and 2 threads are enough for that.

Considering that the Minagoroshi/Matsuribayashi translation project is dead or in hibernation, all of the recent posts in the Minagoroshi Translation thread have been about our group's Onikakushi translation project. To avoid confusing people, could we perhaps split those posts off into a new thread?
Thanks, :)
