‘Higurashi no Naku Koro ni’ is a slow-burn anime that blends slice-of-life, science-fiction, and horror genres in an exquisite manner. The show relies on atmospheric terror and an ever-present sense of oppressive dread to build the story and rarely resorts to jump scares. Even when it employs conventional horror tropes, they never seem out-of-place and hamper the natural progression of the plot. 07th Expansion originally developed the concept as a murder mystery dōjin soft visual novel series in the early 2000s. Since then, it has become a sprawling franchise that includes a manga series, a TV anime, light novels, live-action films, and even a television drama. The current season began airing on October 1, 2020. Here is everything you need to know about the upcoming episode of ‘Higurashi no Naku Koro ni’.
