Can you elaborate? Sotsu, even beyond the character assassination and bad writing, features 10 consecutive episodes, recapping events of the previous season, with the asterisk of: "yes, Satoko is responsible for everything." 10 fully animated episodes could be summarized in a three minute montage.

maybe I've gotten old and contrarian but it wasn't nearly as bad as people made it out to be. I honestly thought at the time that most people hated it so much it because the relationship between Satoko and Rika wasn't the yurislop they wanted. Still the worst WTC work.

The problem was the set up for Sotsu. Because satoko was revealed at the end of Gou we didn't care for the answer arcs. We needed to know rika was going to catch satoko. Just bad writing, but when Rika and the plot were relevant it was top notch. Gou was a great season. Sotsu was just too slow.

That's not the same. Sotsu didn't air the same material 1:1. There were some reused shots, yes, but they spent 10 episodes explaining to you how every single little terrible thing was Satoko's fault. New animation and all. It could all have been summed up in minutes.

It's incomparable. The joke of Endless Eight is that they're stuck in a loop, and you're watching the same thing over and over again. It's intentional. Each episode of Sotsu was trying to be a shocking revelation.

I would rather watch the same episode every week for the rest of my life than the garbage that Sotsu gave us. Sure I was annoyed when the same shit was repeating week after week, but that's nothing compared to the sheer torture of watching the characters get assassinated beyond recognition in what is Higurashi's final bookend story.

10 episodes of an "answer" arc, where the answer was always "Satoko did it" was entertaining? Sotsu defenders are insane, because some of them try and pull a, "it's so bad, it's good!" But it's just actually fucking boring, since it's totally repetitive. "Look at this fucked up thing that happened in Gou. Did you have questions about how it happened? It was Satoko. Every time."

That's what I'm fucking saying. This shit offers nothing. Gou was already a loose remake of the original Higurashi. Sotsu was looking at Gou, and shoving its finger out, telling you, "Satoko did it. Every time. No matter how ridiculous or unlikely, it was Satoko." You could summarize it in a montage. It's not entertaining. It's boring.

07 has always been a bit shaky. He can write an absolute masterpiece like Tatarigoroshi then proceeded to make Matsuribayashi which is lame as hell conclusion. Umineko wasn't really different either as Legend of the Golden Witch was far superior to the last few Episodes.

I agree that Matsuri was a lame conclusion to the story the preceded it, but it at least wasn't insulting. Same thing with the end of of Umineko; sure it might be shit for some fans but you can still see that he poured his feelings into it. Sotsugyou though is like a story you'd write if you want to piss of everyone invested in the story. It's like a deliberate attack on the characters and messages. It's a whole other level of misunderstanding.

That's a fair argument. Sotsugyou feels very jaded compared to old 07 works thematically and only really exists to distract people from the fact this fucking bozo refuses to release more Ciconia. I've heard the manga version of Gou/Meguri is quite a bit better but the fundamental premise is ultimately the same and ultimately unnecessary.

She doesn't want to move on from good times in Hinamizawa so she does what she has to.
Plus she only cared about Rika.
It never was going to work out anyway, since fragment memories was strong already at the beginning of the deceiving arc, the good times were going to disappear sooner or later.

People constantly call it bad for that very reason, nice attempt at gaslighting. It's always either that or some retard sperging out about how everything that happened is because "satoko doesn't want to study" because they are perennially stuck with the mind of the 15 year old they were when they first watched the original series and don't have the media literacy to comprehend it was never just about satoko not fitting in at school.
>>280328492
>Character assassination
There's no character to assassinate retard, for starters they're all one dimensional as fuck and second of all the entire reason everything bad that happens in higurashi is a constructed game meant to prevent Rika/Bern from solving the logic error of the time loop and fixing Hanyuu's (featherine's) memory device

Everything is constructed to explicitly prevent resolution to the plot and every loop is intentionally constructed to be a deviation a priori. There's nothing to assassinate because none of these people are fixed real humans. Again you would know that if you learned how to read instead of clapping like a seal at your television while you call other people on the level of cape shit enjoyers, fucking ironic.

It was this. >>280328513 Which is also terrible. "I killed everyone over and over, because I thought I HAD to attend school with Rika, since I have severe attachment issues, and can't comprehend boundaries."

What I also love though is you're just ignoring absolutely objective faults the series has, like how there are 10 fucking episodes that are utterly pointless. The narrative excruciatingly telling you how she went and murdered everyone, with no major twists. She just did it. As if that couldn't be summed up in a single scene.

Wow. That's incredible. What an amazing defense of this series. "All the characters are terrible on purpose. Why? To connect to another series." You know a reference, or callback on its own is meaningless, right? It's just a thing. You have to actually produce compelling content to make it worthwhile.

It's not about school, the entire point was to prevent Rika from progressing in any capacity and keeping her in stasis in Hinamizawa, ostensibly from the view of the piece that is satoko because of her desire to maintain the positive status quo as a means of coping with her abandonment issues and feelings of lack of control stemming from abuse, but more importantly from lambda because she is on the opposing side of bern on the Hinamizawa game board and presumably her objective is to prevent bern from solving the logic error

That's fair enough explanation, who are her adult parenting role models, who will teach Satoko about friendship? Irie? Chie-sensei? We dont see them act much like a father figure, Mion, K1, Rena and Shion? They have their own struggles and drift apart from Satoko and Rika (the three weren't that close to Rika and Satoko anyway, and that's normal and okay)

Satoko being hurt by the situation she wound up in would be perfectly justified... If her response wasn't to become a psychotic murderer. Like, that's the problem. People reduce her down to "she just didn't want to study," because they have no desire to listen to the justification for her actions, since either way, they don't stack up. She looped time again and again, and created endless suffering to people because she had mild emotional problems.

Nah, it's on brand for lambda
Satoko isn't even real, lamda predates the higurashi game board so she's not even a piece elevated to the meta world
Which means she's directly controlled by the game master or whichever side she's a piece of
In other words there's no character to assassinate because satoko isn't even real. You must of missed the part where she started looping, made contact with a part of the witch of theater-going, and was given part of her power over the game board, meaning she's working with meta knowledge

The point of the 10 episodes is to drive home the futility Satoko is trying to install in Rika in order to get her to give up trying to find the one loop in the sea of fragments where she wins. It's really not a complicated thing to understand, it's a common trope in time travel related media and I didn't bother responding to it because it wasn't worth responding to.

I see your ADHD and mild case of autism made it a hump you couldn't get over though, so it's no wonder you can't appreciate the series for what it is. You don't have the background knowledge to appreciate the events unfolding, you don't have the media literacy to understand the characters ostensible motivations and you don't have the neurotypicality to engage with it's manner of story telling. Im honestly wondering if instead of being blinded by nostalgia if it isn't that this frankly mid series is funnily enough just over your head.

I was made to watch the story of Gou again, which itself was mostly a remake of the original Higurashi, with every episode having the caveat being: "Satoko did it." Every answer to every mystery of why terrible things were happening, was "Satoko." I did not need that reiterated for 11 episodes (I just double checked, it went on one more than I thought). It was very bad.

Great argument. I too loved watching a half-baked remake of Higurashi, that's then followed up by 11 episodes of watching that remake again, but with the "shocking" revelation that Satoko is responsible for everything.

You wanna know how I know this series is terrible? When it was airing live, I fell behind a bit on it, and wound up skipping an episode. I did not notice I had skipped an episode until after it'd finished airing. Why? Because almost nothing happened in the previous episode.

If it was written in that case, why didn't they dig in more? Make the entire series about the connection? The majority of GouSotsu is just a slightly remixed Higurashi, where Satoko is an irredeemable villain. That is the content you receive. Some connection to another franchise doesn't add up to much of anything.

Now this I completely agree with. It's largely disappointing in this way. The best way for it to have been made better was not to have fixed it's Higurashi-side errors and character development in some effort to perfectly align with the original story, but to completely lean into the bridge to Umineko idea for Sotsu. It suffers from being stuck in the middle.

I think part of the problem with the connection is that the anime staff clearly referenced the freaking Umineko ANIME for Lambda's characterization. Aside from the ending with the Lambda/Bern speech and the brief mention of infinite monkey typewriting, which probably came from R07's outline directly, most direct quote references were in the Umineko anime (like trapping Rika in a birdcage or their game being described as contest of endurance). It also explains why you don't see Witch Satoko doing stuff like Satoko's "hohoho" laugh. Lambda never does that in the Umineko anime.

Thus Witch Satoko being mostly cold outside of a few moments where she does something more energetic, since that was how the Umineko anime portrayed Lambda because it was trying to be really serious and downplaying most comedic moments with the witches.

Understandable reasoning I hated studying too and almost never did it in school. Unlike Satoko however I'm not retarded and even just a bit of cramming the night before the test was enough to get me an A or a B+

A compelling point. I don't think I would have caught something like this since I've never rewatched the Umineko anime.

They obviously talking about Gotsu which was sold as a remake
