Witch-Hunt has done a great service for the When They Cry community in the past, so it’s great that they have been given the opportunity to do so once again for this highly-anticipated title. We are also honored #Ryukishi07 has once again granted us permission to translate his work and expressed his delight regarding that project. We, Witch-Hunt, are pleased to announce we will translate #07thExpansion new #WhenThe圜ry series. But great news came yesterday as the Witch-Hunt translation group took to Twitter and confirmed their permission to translate the project from developer 07th Expansion themselves. This is no small journey.With the release of 07th Expansion’s latest addition to the beloved When They Cry franchise tentatively scheduled for release this winter in Japan, the question on many overseas fans mind was how they were going to get access to it without significant knowledge of the Japanese language. The anime had to take some liberties, in my opinion, to sell it to a wider audience.īut even in the VN, by the end of the first arc, you really are left wondering wtf just happened, and continuing onto the second is even more jarring.Īll I can say is roll with it, if you have the time. The characters being really young, also plays into the horror of the game, because they are used to relying on adults and suddenly need to deal with things where their supports are suddenly taken away, or are at best, unreliable. There are small communities in the US that have multiple grades sharing a classroom, and the kids tend to have friends over a wider age range because of it. In the VN, they're all quite young and their life isn't all that weird for a small rural village anywhere in the world. IT would have been better made into a series of light novels. It's probably just me, but it didn't really adapt to anime very well. While there are a few spooky all seems a bit unusual!Įdit: I just started the 2006 version and it already explained a few things that I was questioning! Does he not have any other male friends?Īlso.why is he hanging out with younger kids? It just all seems so bizarre to me! Sorry for the rant, but I am just confused and was curious if I can get a small explanation. In addition, why is the main protagonist like, the only male out of this group? Is that a common trope in anime? I find it a bit weird. I am two episodes in, but.what the hell is going on? It really just seems like a bunch of kids hanging out (with annoying voices). In so far.I am so confused, and I apologise for my ignorance. Anyways, I am a horror fan and decided to check out horror anime.I know they are a dime a dozen, so I began to watch Higurashi: When They Cry.

Ok, I want to state this up front.while I enjoy anime, I can't say I am really familiar with many series.
