Say what you want about GOU, but the reveal of Satoko being the villain was handled pretty well from a narrative perspective
Don't get me wrong, from a plot and character perspective it was handled pretty bad and her motivations were retarded
But from a narrative perspective it was fucking genious. Not only was the reveal pretty good cinematographically, but they also gave the viewer plenty of evidence to figure it out for themselves before the reveal
>Say what you want about GOU
Okay, I will. It's irredeemable shit.
The twist was so bad and poorly done it put me off watching the follow up at all. I think a lot of other people felt the same since it took all the hype for Higurashi and threw it off a fucking cliff.
It was good and makes higutards seethe endlessly.
I remember feeling sick at the end of Tataridamashi thinking Satoko-chan might be the culprit, even though all signs pointed to her. So it definitely hit me hard then, but man did it fall off a cliff after.
Gou made me appreciate original ending much more in all honesty.
>Not only was the reveal pretty good cinematographically
it was unironically good
>also gave the viewer plenty of evidence to figure it out for themselves before the reveal
it was too easy to the point people figured it out in the first arc and everyone thought it had to be red herring
Gou was pretty good though, if they retconned most of the answers they could save it even if they kept Satoko as the culprit. An unaware culprit would be ideal imo. I really liked the idea of two loopers unaware of their actions influencing things in a way that make everything worse. A conflict having two sides that have good intentions is always more interesting than super psychos.
The only entertaining thing about Gou were the mental breakdowns onthe threads and delusional Mioncucks
>as it should be
Gou was good, producers saying "this is a remake" before it aired was nice.
Sotsu was 90% recap, 10% Dragon Ball and sucked.
unfortunately R07 only knows how to write super psychos, even when he tries to give the characters good intentions.
So Gou is 3/10 instead of being 1/10 because it puts the retarded reveal at the right place narratively speaking?
The actual reveal scene might've been okay.
Then it took like 8 months to finish the cliffhanger that didn't actually have anything to show.
Also didn't everyone know it was Satoko by the end of Wata?
>uhh this is 3/10 instead of being 1/10?
This sentence describes my thoughts on a lot of things made by this author
It was actually reallt fun and I don't really get why it makes higutrannies so irrationally mad
Call R07 a hack all you want, even trash like Umineko at its lowest is miles better than Gou
Dear Higufags. Show Gou/Meguri manga to those who still haven't watched the new Higurashi anime and know nothing of Satoko trash development.
Ryukishi can only make VNs, his stuff just doesn't translate to a medium where he doesn't have all the time in the world to do what he wants.
He can't even make VNs anymore, Umineko and Ciconia are shit
uminrko is great
ciconia phase 1 was definitely boring as hell 99% of the time though
It gave a new life to a series that nobody was giving a shit about and it was about to die. Nobody care about Ciconia.
