More like Higurashi?

by Bazza » Wed Sep 27, 2006 11:48 am

Anyone know some good mindf***-type animes akin to Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni?

Bonus internets for more series' with killer minderjährigen mädchen. :P

Apart from Elfen Lied, which really doesn't quite have Higurashi's creepiness factor, it is hard to think of a show that quite fits the bill.... Lain for headscrewing and some creepiness, same with Jigoku Shoujo which, again, though it tries hard to fit the horror genre, isn't really as overtly brutal as Higurashi is and therefore not quite as good, though it does have a killer minderjährigen mädchen in it.... 8)

Cool? Yes. Very.
Killer minderjährigen mädchen? Yes. Henrietta is adorable holding a 9mm in her school uniform. ;) read: not hittable. just cute. I know what you were thinking.
Mindfark? Nup.

Gotta be creepy, confusing, shocking, no-one-is-who-they-seems & jump-out-of the cupboard scary. Not unlike Higurashi actually. 8)

Am I going to have to borrow Clint's bokken again? I'm not quite sure if he'd like me putting dents in it.

If you played Valkyrie Profile and seen the good ending, you've basicially seen Jigoku Shoujo. Jigoku Shoujo is more or less an reverse 'Valkyrie Profile' instead of sending off souls to heaven to fight in the upcoming raganarok, you instead send them to hell (you can obvivously seen it based on Norse Myth as Jigoku Shoujo is basically a Valkyrie and her employer is a God who underestimates her 'reference to the last 2 epsiodes' ). It would have more of an impact if Square Enix hadnt got to it first, so its more or less a been there done that type of anime.

Dokuro-chan was just blutig... and funny at the same time. Excel Saga was pretty out there, Serial Experiments Lain :P... erm, Paranoia Agent (Am I reapeating anyone here? oh well)

EDIT: What's with the idea of a "mind****" any way! WRONG HOLE

I think you missed the bit where he mentioned 'killer minderjährigen mädchen', Seven. Dokuro-chan is definitely a killer minderjährigen mädchen. So therefore completely appropriate for him and Madman.

Oops I thought I put in a mention that Valkyrie Profile is a game.

Yea, Valkyrie Profile, PSP/PS1 game plays as valkyrie watch ppl die send them to Vahalla to fight in Ragnarok. Probably the closest game interpetation of the Norse Mythology, however I wonder why they made Frey a woman..... Oh wait its the Japanese, they make every freaking male a woman whenever they can.

Not for the sad bastards that exist on this forum, they ain't. 8)

And Saaya Irie isn't a killer, as far as we know, so she's off topic. 8)
