Awww... Lulu is so cute... i'm just wondering whether that person in the foreground is Lolo or 李娜娜. Oh, and C.C.'s probably stuck on the sub munching pizza. Either that or she has merged bodies with Lulu ala Kawasumi Vulpini and Shota Mamiko.Finally got around to watching Higurashi no Naku Koro ni yesterday, finished the 鬼隠し arc. It's a cute little piece of horror/psychological thriller, but the shock tactics employed might be a bit too much to stomach.
I'm usually fine with some violence in shows; for instance, Mnemosyne had much more gory scenes (skewers, hooks and meatgrinders). Maybe it's the juxtaposition of violence and cuteness in Higurashi that got to me. While the kawaii character designs suggest slice-of-life or harem comedy, the show is anything but. It's one thing when promiscuous immortals get sliced and diced up and another when kawaii little girls get tortured.
There was a scene in the first arc where Rena was getting her fingers crushed and i felt really 心痛 as she begged Keiichi to stop. Tomoya clobbering Nagisa to death would probably provoke the same visceral reaction.
It isn't too bad for a horror thriller actually, i'm just not in the mood for it right now. Maybe i'll finish up the rest of the series when i'm bored. For now, i'll go catch up on some Gintama.

Oh course thats Nunnally. No way that's Rolo. NO WAY. We all know Lulu has got something for Nunnally.
Lulu looks horrifying. Skin and bones irk me to no end already, now coupled with frills, tails and dress? X.X
Epic fail for the lack of C.C. :(
Higurashi is only fine for THE song. After reading some synopses and reviews, no way am I going near that show. Horror beyond horrors. Same as Bokurano, though I kind of forgotten why not le. You told me before some time ago.
Don't even drag poor innocent Nagisa here. I'm still looking forward to Clannad After Story! Fujibayashi Kyou!
The new song by Kotoko sounds super similar with HnG somehow. Nice to hear. Some Kamen no Maid Guy show? What kind of name is that? Chapalang English ala Singlish?
After the horrifying turn in Daughter of 20 Faces, I've been watching "It started with a Kiss", the Taiwan drama from ItaKiss. Still at episode 2. DOn't wanna spoil myself for the anime version. It's very weird to hear the conversations in Chinese -_-
Oh and why did you change away ichigo-eating Mamimami? :(
AWWWW
Rierie for Telephone Operator!
Besides THE song, Higurashi season 2 has a pretty good OP in Naraku no Hana. Worth a listen.
No, i was telling you about Narutaru which was authored by the same mangaka as Bokurano. Bokurano's anime version had an altered ending because the original was too dark.
Kamen no Meido Guy is this ecchi show that's ok to watch for a few chuckles. Full Metal Panic is chapalang english too.
Don't you like Tinkerbell Rie?
