Higurashi when they cry Meakashi is 5th part of legendary series. Itā€™s the beginning of ā€œDetective Arcā€, which suggests us that we are getting closer to figuring out, what is the source of the strange things, that happen in Hinamizawa. Like it became a tradition with previous parts, this one is also focusing on another member of our beloved crew. Maekashi story wise reminds more of the first and third part, with it being a bit more dark in the tone. Like always, it provides the reader with a well written plot and characters, that are playing well of each other. We get chance to learn more about the main characters, that grew so dear to us and discover new, never seen before side of them. Ryuukishi like in previous Higu parts delivered us great story, that to be honest doesnā€™t require this review. Previous parts already spoke for themselves. You shouldnā€™t need encouragement. However, I would like to mention few more. The music is really pleasing and catchy. I couldnā€™t stop myself from pausing on the Tips screen just to listen to it. Itā€™s fun and I really like it. Most of the time, itā€™s very simple, but it doesnā€™t stop it for being satisfying and boosting the mood of the scene. You can really see the beginning to development to the Meister-stuck of BGM, that 07th Expansion provides in Umineko. The visuals depend on which version of them you are using (You have 3 options), however the standard steam ones are pleasing. They arenā€™t state of the art by any means, but they are doing they job, the way they should. I donā€™t have anything to complain about. Only thing I can complain about is, that you need a review for this part in the first place. If the 4 previous parts didnā€™t explain it well enough, then I will do it right here. Maekashi is a must read and is the pillar to the greatness, that Tsumihoroboshi(6) and Minagoroshi(7) are preparing for us. Because this story achieves something, that is hard for many other. Making the story even better the further it goes. Rating for Maekashi is without a hesitation 100/100

This chapter has got to be one of my favorite chapters in this series. It reveals a lot behinds the Watanagashi chapter and fleshes out Shion as a character! As always, the warning in the beginning isn't joking. It was hard to read through this chapter at times.

Overall really good. There are parts that are actually scary. And since it's been a while since I read Watanagashi it made me feel I could go back to it again. At certain points felt a bit too long thouhg.

story of a crazy delusional bitch, as much as i love this chapter i absolutely despise the main character. it's the most action so far, thankfully it answered for many of my questions and proved my doubts overall it's a great piece of work

Oh boy....buckle up, cuz this one is the DEFINITION of a roller coaster ride. Couple things I want to be known. I was very skeptical about Shion being the main character of this one. I got used to Keiichi and did not know exactly where the story was going. Thankfully, I was very wrong. Having this chapter being told from her perspective was so refreshing I did not mind it one bit. She is (obviously) really different from Keiichi so the inner dialogue moments are unique in this chapter. I really don't want to spoil anything story wise because this one is just so like peak and "wtf coded" that all I can really say is play it! Also, Satoshi is one of my favorite characters he did nothing wrong :( (this chapter has also surpassed chapter 3 in the amount of crying I did while playing it too :D)
