Higurashi (1st season) Character Discussion / Poll

[Dante of the Inferno]

Though let's be fair here. Rika not withstanding, Satoko is by far the most tragic figure in season 1. It's very VERY hard imagining most other characters turning out the way she did after losing basically everyone in her life apart from Rika.

In the finaly Japanese popularity contests she was the least popular club member, coming 5th. Personally I find her personality rather bratty and annoying.

Rena sucks. I don't know if I've mentioned it yet, but I hate her with a burning passion. She's only relevant in two arcs and even though those 2 are my favorites it doesn't change the fact that K1 > Rika > Akasaka > Mion >=< Shion >>>> Satako >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Rena

Why ya gotta be such a hater?

Akasaka is relevant in EXACTLY 1 arc, while being useful in 2 whole episodes of season 2.

Besides, you forget that Rena was the one who figured out it was Mion/Shion behind the rampage for Watanagashi-hen/Meakashi-hen. Before you make Rena sound useless, put everything into perspective.

[Renan]

AKASAKA IS THE MAN. FACT. The only reason I even put Akasaka up there is because I'm his NUMBER ONE FAN.

It doesn't matter if Rena figured out the RAMPAGER was Shmion in Watanagashi-hen and Meakashi-hen, she still fails life to no end. I don't like her. He name should be changed to Naer so I can never see the resemblance in our names.

[FlashFumo]

I voted for Shion.

Spoiler for Meakashi-hen:

Her rampage was oh, so very badass. And kinda hot, in some weird way. ...Hmm...

And her chat with Kasai and Rena in Tsumihoroboshi-hen was hilarious.

[Ithekro]

I think that is the first time I've seen someone that liked this series actually hate Rena. Strange world.

Just because you dont like her does not mean she sucks.

[momobunny]

Your opinion isn't absolute truth, stop stating it as if Rena really is a bad character. If you don't like her then say it, but don't go as far as to offend her fans by saying she sucks... that's just rude.

[Renan]

I'm not offending the fans, I'm offending the character. I'm totally cool with people who like Rena. I think she sucks. No need to get upset, normally I would say it's just an anime character, but I did make a big deal about her so it wouldn't feel right. :P

I agree with Renan.

I don't hate Rena with a burning passion, but I do find her character quite annoying. So don't feel alone, Renan.

[Renan]

Renan is never alone. Renan is forever. Renan is legion. Renan is Anonymous...Sorry, but I've always wanted to say something like that. :P

You remind me of someone, what other forums do you visit?

[Rayneing]

While I myself don't hate Rena, I do find her among the least interesting characters.

Also, Akasaka is indeed, the man.

Offending and insulting are two different things. Some of her fans would take offense to their favorite character being bashed. I'm not really one of them, I love Rena but she's not my absolute favorite. I'm just saying that saying things like that can hurt people's feelings. ^^;

[Renan]

I want to say "Internet = Serious Business" So bad, but I do take the web super serious sometimes. :/

Umm, I guess I'll be careful next time when insulting characters....So, why isn't Akasaka on the poll? He got a whole TWO episodes for himself and he is the man in both seasons 1 and 2. He's so boss...I wish I could be Akasaka.

[momobunny]

Probably because he only got two episodes for himself and didn't really do much (for the main story) other than provide a different point of view to get more clues. But I'm guessing it's more along the lines of him being an adult and not entirely part of the more major story until Minagoroshi-hen and Matsuribayashi-hen.

Is he on the second season poll? O.o

[Renan]

I believe so. I would check, but I don't want to right now. Pokemon Platinum = Love

You can spout this all you like after Kai, but not in season 1, where he had TWO episodes of doing all but nothing (except getting shot, dooming his wife, and dooming Rika).

Which equals instant badass. I mean look at him. His manly presence killed Rika AND his wife. You don't see that everyday do you?

Or lack thereof....

He was all but worthless in season 1. Want to praise him? Spam the Kai thread, not this one.
