I never watch the anime before and after jie-chan told me about it, I decided to maybe watch it later on. But I stumbled upon the live-action movie and it's the 1st part even. icon by http://dark-alone.livejournal.com/252845.html#cutid1 I downloaded and I chose a totally bad time to watch it. But it's not really really horror that it really scares but it's more of murder cases which the whole village takes part in and I'm looking forward to the 2nd part later this year. Yesh! but it seems I have to watch the anime to get a better understanding of the storyline which were adapted to the live-action movie, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni ~ When The Cicadas Cry. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higurashi_no_Naku_Koro_ni // 0345hrs @ Haro
