"When They Cry", or "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni" (When the Cicadas Cry) is a unique murder-mystery anime series based on a popular Japanese video game.

While video game anime/film adaptations usually fail in their substance, you might be surprised to onsider that curse shattered.

This is one of the best animated horror that you will ever see in many years. Creepy!

Keichi is a transfer student making friends at his new school in the village of Hinamizawa.

He's already found his way into a club of energetic girls who play games and enact embarrassing punishments on the loser. It's adorable. But the village has many secrets.

Each year they hold a celebration known as The Drifting Cotton Festival . Each year somebody dies on that night and another disappears altogether. Nobody talks about it. It is simply dismissed as the curse of the village's guardian deity, Oyashiro, and those who vanish are referred to as having been "spirited away by the demon".

The more Keichi learns, the more frightening the first story arc in the anime becomes. Who are his new friends and why have they been connected to every single victim?

"When They Cry" is a tale of paranoia, secrets & lies, mystery, and suspense so thick that a seemingly cute innocent anime girl could cut with a very large cleaver. And that's just in the first part of a story that will be retold in many different ways.

The first 5 episodes of this anime are beyond fabulous and the story is told in amazingly bold form. It closely resembles both The Wicker Man and Rosemary's Baby in tone and themes, but Higurashi adds that brand of toying cuteness that can only be found in anime which only manages to accentuate the disturbing content.
