Expanding a established universe done right
The ugly duckling of the Higurashi franchise
Gou takes what already makes Higurashi a gem, and expands upon it with new new ideas all while retaining the core
Gou has some writing pitfalls here and there, but it still is a very enjoyable experience,mostly.
Definitely not for newcomers to the franchise, still enjoyable regardless!
Ryukishi fumbled on this sequel. What a disappointment to the franchise.
Higurashi Gou, or how to artificially extend a series at the expense of its themes and characters.
A TRAVESTY, AN ABOMINATION...SACRILEGE!
