The season was an absolute blast, and I currently have Gou sitting at a strong 9. Eua, who is a carbon copy of Featherine, was a massive twist that no one expected. We had so many new reveals for the mystery that seemed to be unfolding, as well major plot twists in its last arc such as Satoko being the reason for the new loops. Making a series that is both a remake and a sequel is absolutely genius, and equated to a very fun ride. I am personally a very big fan of Higurashi and Umineko, and I absolutely loved Gou. We are currently 4 episodes into Sotsu, so has it managed to deliver so far? It also had to make the series make more sense for those that watched the series under the impression it was a remake. It had to managed to bring in and lure those fans that didn't seem to really enjoy Gou, while also satisfying fans that loved it but are hoping for deeper, meaningful connections with other 7th Expansion properties (Umineko and Ciconia). After having a bait and switch with Gou, and resulting in a mixed bag of reactions throughout the entirety of its run: Sotsu had a big role to fill in terms of story, characters and engagement. Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni: Sotsu is sequel to Higurashi Gou, and technically the 5th season of the anime installments. This review will not be spoiler free, so please watch Gou and the current 4 episodes of Sotsu before reading this.
