Higurashi: Fun for the whole Family!

We here at Moegar (We being just me) care deeply about the children, so today I’ll be discussing the perfect anime to watch together your entire family on a cold winter day: Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. Higurashi is the story of Keiichi; a boy who recently moved to Hinamizawa, a quiet rural village. And there he makes new friends and through many hardships he learns the true meaning of friendship.

True friends always help each other out, even if it consists of disposing of black plastic bags.

Now this wouldn’t be moegar if I didn’t check out the characters…so here I go.

Maebara Keiichi

Keiichi is just your average guy. Always calm and composed, and quite good with a baseball-bat. Something he’s very willing to show to his friends. Through him your children will learn how to handle stressful situations and how to sort out differences with their friends.

Sonozaki Mion & Shion

Twin sisters, trough them your children will learn how to handle differences among siblings and through shion they’ll learn how to handle the loss of a loved one. Mion is a very good role-model for your children, being so young and already helping a lot in her family “business”. She’ll help your children make a career decision later in life.

Ryuuguu Rena

A local girl, through her your children will learn how to handle a possible divorce and how to treat their stepparents. She’ll also teach your children creative uses for a kitchen timer and a gutter.

Furude Rika & Houjou Satoko

Through them your children will learn errrr…hmmmmmm…stuff? Yeah they’ll learn stuff, lots of stuff. I guarantee it.

Yes your kids will have lots of fun filled hours watching Higurashi. Might I add that Ideally you should lock them up in the room containing the TV, hide the remote and make sure they can’t reach the TV. Also tape their eyes open and tie their hands behind their back to make sure they’ll enjoy Higurashi to the fullest. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to check out if my little nephew is still tied up in the TV room.
