Re: Higurashi Rei
Well that was a disappointment.
Hanyuu is STILL a bloody Deus Ex Machina...
I myself don't understand why everyone thinks that a happy ending is required...

Re: Higurashi Rei
It wasn't a happy ending. It was a happish ending, but I assume Rika actually did kill her mother, and hanyu's just lying to her to keep her from feeling guilty.

Yes I know Higurashi isn't all about the "psycho lolis" but I felt kinda cheated when they just skipped to her waking up, if you get what I mean

Re: Higurashi Rei
well just finished the ova. is a mixed bag. I love the 1st and 5th episode for the comedy but i have quarrels that it isn't as bloody as the previous two seasons were. Though I love rena explanation using candy as an example for rika when she woke up from the dream world hanyuu made for to respect parents. I really like that closure and know more about hanyuu and her relationship with her daughter.

Re: Higurashi Rei
Personally, i kinda wish for a happier ending for Rika... But i must say this ending is good. Or else we would find more news about people that suicides or kills thinking "People don't die, they just go into a parallel world." Also, in a way it is telling fans that your life may be happy, as long as you can accept what there is?

Re: Higurashi Rei
From the entire higurashi story, it would be more like
Do not be afraid to fight hard for what you believe, but do not lose sight of what you do have. Appreciate what you have, while defending them and achieving more?
maybe?

Re: Higurashi Rei
I would say the major themes are:
When united, people can do anything.
Nothing is more precious than everyday moments.
I think they are distinct themes, and trying to mix them together is just going to get them muddled.

Re: Higurashi Rei
I sin once more by going back to this thread...
Of Higurashi, I've only seen the anime, so my knowledge about it is incomplete. Also, I might have missed important hints in the anime, so my alternate character interpretation might be completely wrong. So highlight my guesses at your own risk. (And if "Rei" is not canon but just an extra, I'd also be wrong)
