Not gonna lie, I initially prepared myself to end up sobbing and screaming after this chapter but was honestly just left with "lol that's ridiculous". In a rather good way though, those silly battles that seem like they were stolen straight from some action comic felt actually fitting for the series finale in some way. I definitely missed the unhinged vibes from the previous chapters but still find it very satisfying to finally know EVERYTHING, plus this chapter had plenty of thrilling moments too. During the first 6 chapters I would've never imagined what the solution to this mystery would be like and now I'm eager to play the series from the beginning XD. Now the series (overall but especially this chapter) indeed was too cringe & clichee for my likings at times but I still love it and am glad to have seen a proper ending ( even if too peaceful than I hoped )! Even bearing all of those insufferable and long fiiller moments throughout the chapters was worth it, considering the incredible experience as a whole. This VN is genius despite it's flaws, I definitely understand the hype around it!!

After +150 hours of reading, the truth lies in front of me. This is the end. I started playing on the first day of summer, loud cicada sounds can be heard from the balcony so I enjoyed playing this series there. And now the summer begins to end. I can't hear the cryings of cicadas anymore. Thank you Higurashi for accompanying me on this journey. I've learned so much from you. Besides immense general knowledge, this game had so much to offer: seeking atonement, inescapable fate, driven revenge, unified effort, inevitable tragedy, haunting past and growing suspicion. I felt all of these to my core. The emotional range of this series is unbelievable. Higurashi has drastically changed my perspective, and this is a no joke. It is more than just a game; there is no end to the thinking-it's like a black hole, and I am not the same person anymore. Thank you again for all the emotions you’ve made me experience.

(Do not read past here if you haven't finished the main series. It is "the" end after all) I really thought the conclusion of the main story would leave me with melancholy. But after having some time to think about it... I just feel nothing anymore nor do I have anything to say... Which I never would have expected for a series like this. It's doesn't even have to do with chapter 8 in particular.. It's just hard to explain. Never had an experience like this/would have expected a big wall of text explaining how the conclusion affects everything inside the series under the guise of a review. But that (sadly) won't happen this time. There's 1 thing I have to mention though... That literally nobody not even Takano dies is certainly surprising for this series. But I guess the "It's only "an" ending" schtick also answers that. If you made it this far in the series... Then I salute you. You now may have a curse of getting scary flashbacks everytime you hear the ( actual ) higurashi cry.
