Product Description

Gruesome Murders, Demonic Possessions, Bizarre Disappearances?In the sleepy rural village of Hinamizawa, people and things aren?t what they appear to be. Everyone seems to have secrets and they will do anything to keep it that way. On the night of the town festival, Keiichi, Shion, and Takano sneak into a forbidden shrine's storehouse, setting off a chain-reaction of paranoia, fear and murder within Hinamizawa. To his horror, Keiichi discovers that he, Shion, Rika and Satoko may become the next victims of Oyashiro-sama's curse!
(Contains episodes 6-10)

Amazon.com

As the eerie fantasy When They Cry continues, a second story follows the first, like a variation on a theme. Keiichi Maebara arrives in the tiny village of Hinamizawa and befriends four cute local girls: Mion, Rena, Satoko, and Rika. The murders and disappearances that take place during the annual Cotton Drifting Festival remain at the center of series. But what causes those events: Is it the wrath of Oyashira, the local protector-deity? Is it demonic possession? Or are the deaths the results of all-too-human activities? The girls and detective Oishi present differing accounts of what's going on; Keiichi doesn't know whom or what to believe. After the first story comes to a grisly conclusion, he starts over, knowing no more than he did before. When They Cry is more subtle and unsettling than Ergo Proxy, but it's another example of the "murderous moppet" genre. (Rated 16 and older: violence, tobacco use, grotesque imagery) --Charles Solomon

Freaky Alien Genotype

Fantastic show, fantasic (albeit BIG) product

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 6, 2014

Verified Purchase

Instead of posting something for both box sets, I'm just putting it here.

Firstly, anybody who's contemplating buying this probably already likes the show, so I don't think I need to really cover that. For anybody considering getting into this show through this box set, at least be aware that Studio Deen never made the second, and concluding, season. Much like with Higurashi (or When They Cry), the first half asks the questions, and the second half answers them. Umineko When They Cry is only the first half. Studio Deen never saw fit to conclude this complex and intricate story. Nonetheless, the show is brilliantly written, directed, animated and sounded with an amazing soundtrack.

The boxes themselves are impressive work, each the size of a stamp collection yearbook. The products are of a high grade in their sturdiness and construction and the case file booklets make for some very interesting reading. Overall, if you are a big fan of this show, I would definitely recommend this product, even if it is a big costly.

Keeps getting better

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 12, 2007

Verified Purchase

I was hooked immediately with the first volume of this series - the unique storytelling style was a welcome change , and the plot twists kept the interest level and suspense high throughout the DVD.

I'm happy to report that this volume does not disappoint. Unfortunately, there are so many things that distinguish this as a unique and worthwhile series that can't be revealed without going into spoiler mode. I can only say that if you bought and enjoyed the first DVD, this is money well spent. My only complaint is that I have to wait until October for the next episode to be released!

Trivia note - My DVD had the episode titles correct, but the episode details actually corresponded to the episodes on the first DVD. I don't know if this has since been corrected by Geneon, but it was sort of interesting to see it hit the streets uncorrected so far.

The packaging of this is amazing. I mean there other ways to enjoy these series (manga, visual novel). Yes the anime is really at the bottom for a lot of fans but I love the design and the way it was made.

This is quite the unexpected, the usual anime archetypes are here but they have dark sinister secrets and are capable of monsterous deeds, well worth a look but be prepared to have your sensibiliies shaken.

Getting a little worried now...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 21, 2009

Anybody who read my gushing review of When They Cry, Vol. 1 knows how impressed and excited I was with it. Well, it's only volume 2 and the freshness may have already worn off a bit. The first 4 episode story arc was one of most intense, disturbing, and satisfying works of animation I'd seen in some time. An absolute must-see. But on the 5th episode, time rewound and the story began again with the same characters (plus one). I was extremely intrigued and figured there were two ways this could work out in an anime series that spans over 50 episodes. Either we were going to watch different stories with the same characters in the same place at the same time with only the actual events changing, or they were going to build on that amazing story by showing it from different perspectives with different characters at different times and make it one huge, violent jigsaw puzzle. This volume reveals the truth to be a little of both.

The first arc of the show focused on Keichi being apparently besieged by his new group of friends following the village's Festival of Drifting Cotton where one person each year dies and another vanishes. This disc's primary arc -which began with the last episode on the first disc- is more of a murder-mystery that incorporates supernatural elements that were previously strongly hinted at but not revealed. This time around, Keichi's friends remain his friends (mostly) and the villain is kept secret until the end. It is not nearly as intense as the first story, but it does hold your attention. Sadly, there are some pretty over-the-top moments which start out frightening but go on too long and spoil the tension. The third episode concludes the arc in classic horror form and the last two shows on the disc begin the next story.

[sigh]

As much as I like about this show, I'm not sure it can hold my interest for two full seasons. It's still got my attention for now, but seeing the exact same story elements and characters over and over is bound to wear thin if future volumes don't get really creative. One of anime's biggest pitfalls is some series' tendency to show the viewer the exact same thing over and over. While adorable anime girls and brutal psychotic death is a combo custom-made for this sicko, even I've got my limits. When the creativity runs dry, so does my attention span.

I'm writing this review specifically for those wondering if they should invest in this show. Check out the first disc for sure. The four opening episodes could easily be strung together to make one of the finest animated horror films of all time. After that, it looks like it's going to be touch-and-go. I enjoyed the second arc and the third looks to be from a very different perspective dealing with child abuse so I'm hoping that this show can get back to the quality of that first volume. Some rather grisly secrets of the festival are revealed on this DVD and so are new aspects of some the characters which will apparently be incorporated into future arcs. It's a cool idea, but I know that restarting the series every four episodes is going to become irritating. It's like a psycho anime girl Groundhog Day . I know I sound pessimistic, but this is still a strong show as it stands now. But the fervor I felt following the first volume has definitely died down. I'm up for more, but some of you (who may or may not be known as The Main Man) may want to approach this second disc and future volumes with caution.
