If the author had highlighted and put a redemption arc of sorts then the message he wished to convey would have been way more powerful. As it is, Satoko never really apologised for her sins and this made the ending message seem hollow even fake. Or at least it felt hollow for me. |

It seems that there is already news of the new manga, although it is something different than what I imagined (although I have to talk about it on another topic). Just out of curiosity, how did the anime fare in sales? I guess that's okay, as the franchise continues.

I've been a fan of Higurashi for over a decade now and Sotsu feels like such a let down. Gou had a lot of flaws but it was still okay to me but Sotsu is just pretty much a recap of Gou episodes but as seen through the villain's eyes. The conclusion was so bad too because Satoko never learned anything at all and she wasn't punished nor redeemed. It's weird that Rika eventually just forgave her after knowingly sending her back to her hell (June 1983 in Hinamizawa). But it's probably because Rika isn't really alone anymore and there is someone else who has the same power as her now.
