I saw the special box set for the first dvd and was like... Ok.. That is going to deceive the heck out of anyone thinking they are buying it and don't read the back of the box... It's all pink and has them in their made outfits O.o.. For an anime such as thisone it really does surprise me to see it and so many images like it though. Especially for the main art.

Well, I'd think that most mainstream people don't pick up random anime titles they've never heard of, and those familiar with the anime universe may have at least heard of Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni.
If it's just some random stroller looking for something to entertain 7 year olds and think the box art is cute, they still probably wouldn't buy something called "When they cry." |

Yeah and sometimes you will get people who just buy random animes for someone as a gift, not knowing what they would like they see the box as something hey they might like that and grab it. Like just think if some parents identify the box as something like hello kitty or sailor moon. Don't even check the raiting on the box or read what it's about and pick it up. And most cd places don't even ask things, even from kids purchasing stuff.. At least ours doesn't, *remembers the incident when brother was little and bought a cd with R rated lyrics... Mother bear really went to town that day at the cd store* But again I was more thinking of people wanting to buy anime for their friend and not realizing this is definitely not a title the person would like to get if they don't like this sort of anime. It's why I don't give my parents the option of buying me anime or manga for a gift unless I've told them a particular title and know they can get it and it's one I Know I would like. Not to mention my Dad doesn't even know how to say anime... *Blink blink*

Shocking about the summary on the back. Not like Geneon to make a mistake like this.
