It turns out that the new Higurashi anime\u2019s title, <\/span>Higurashi: When They Cry \u2013 NEW<\/span><\/i>, isn\u2019t its real title.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funimation revealed in a <\/span>blog post<\/span><\/a> that the anime is actually called <\/span>Higurashi: When They Cry \u2013 GOU<\/span><\/i>, with the initial title deception being an intentional move. The meaning behind the title remains a mystery, but Funimation offered a hint by writing, \u201cGou, or \u696d, is a Japanese kanji that has multiple meanings and usages, but can be used to mean karma, or the fate resulting from one\u2019s actions in past lives, based on Buddhist concepts.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, a new key visual was released that raised even more questions. In the center of the key visual are two Rikas <\/span>\u2014<\/span><\/span> the young one that fans will recognize, and an older teenage-looking one.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What this all means will undoubtedly be revealed as the series progresses. But at the moment, it looks like <\/span>Higurashi: When They Cry \u2013 GOU <\/span><\/i>could either be a sequel of sorts or a <\/span>Final Fantasy VII Remake<\/span><\/i>-esque take on the original story. Either way, this is certainly an unexpected turn of events.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
