Oldtaku no Radio #037 – Higurashi When they Cry

There are several reasons why Higurashi When They Cry
consistently finds itself on so many must-watch series when
October rolls around, but that doesn’t mean that it’s a show for
everyone. Listen in as Jared and Ink are joined by
AGP’s @QX20XX and Reverse Thieves’ Alain Mendez to dig into
the origin and makeup of this iconic series about a series of
gruesome murders and mysterious disappearances in the small
village of Hinamizawa. If you’ve yet to see the series,
there’s a spoiler-free section, and if you have seen the series,
there’s an indulgent, spoilerific section that follows. Enjoy!
