Weebs will unironically tell you that this is one of the greatest stories ever written.

It is. A mediocre anime adaptation and then a dogshit anime sequal doesn't change that.

>those character sprites
Original Umineko sprites were soulful as heck, what happened in Higurashi?

Almost all popular visual novels are shit, much like every other medium

The Rika sprite is the platonic ideal of a human. Goof.

At least the Umineko ones have noses.

It's a solid blend of cutesy and horror which is hard to find. Decent horror stories are already rare and most lean into total death and despair where the world is shit and everyone is an asshole so you don't really have a reason to give a fuck about any of them dying.
Most of the Higurashi cast is pretty decent aside from Satoko. Keichi is a decent MC who isn't overly stupid or some self-insert mary sue. It's simple but all pretty solid, and has a nice conclusion. Just ignore all the Gou shit.

Umineko was clearly worth finishing for the recontextualizing reveals toward the end, what about Higurashi? Is there a point where you can definitely tell if its worth reading, or a single part that makes it all worth it?
Part 1 wasn't bad, currently slowly losing faith during part 3.

Yeah, you have bad taste.

Arguing about "absolute best" is dumb because beyond a certain point, everything has something unique to offer and you can't compare. But Higurashi is definitely great.

>>723331169
I appreciate how it (EP1) pushes dread and alienation for horror instead of just gore and shock value. Especially with how ambiguous it feels since it's not clear whether it's actually K's fault or not. 3 is also really well done.

get to the end at least and if you don't like it, stop
