From the beginning this has been a `love it or hate it' series. If you have stuck with `When They Cry' for this long, it cannot because of a feeling of ambivalence. The intensity that closes out one story arc and the sympathy that one feels for Rena at the start of the second will easily carry audiences into the final volume of this series leaving them wanting more. This is the horror series of the year.

This volume concludes the Atonement chapter as well as the first season, and in my honest opinion the best one of the six. In this chapter the English voice actors/actresses really shined, especially Rena, whose English voice used to be like sharp nails grinding across a chalkboard. You can really feel the emotions in this last chapter that tells that the friend will trust each other and help each other when they're in a dire situation. I wish I could give this item a six-star rating instead. Ni~pah!

This show is indeed not for the weak of stomach. Also, if you can't stand the thought of children killing children it is also not for you. Otherwise, this anime is wonderful. Very suspensful. It keeps you scratching your head until the very end but is very satisying in its ending. At first I got annoyed with the seeming "Groundhog" theme but it sorts itself out in the end. The animation is very simple but i think that was done purposely to make things seem cute and simple despite the horror and mystery really present.
The only thing I can really complain about is Rena's voice annoyed the living daylights out of me! But she grows on you after awhile

When They Cry Vol. 4 & 6 are by far some of the hardest standalone series DVDs I've ever seen (or haven't seen, 'cause I've yet to see someone selling them). But I hope someday I can find at least one of them for sale.

This is one of the greatest shows in the world!!! But i personally think the english version is for people who can't read subtitles!!! The voices do not fit the characters and the actors cant...act! And I hate the way they say Keiichi's name. Kay-AY-chi. It is pronounce KAY-chee with a lot of emphises (sp?) put on the "eii" part.
But anyway, a great anime no matter who voices it. It may seem confusing but the next series (which will hopefully be dubbed soon) will set things straight for you!
