"What’s going on with our relations…? What did she want from me…? She saw my attitude, but why…? She came to my place all the time… Why…? I wanted to end our relations… to end them peacefully… But she didn’t want a peaceful ending… I understood it, but it was too late… It’s my entire fault in the end… I don’t remember clearly what happened then… My memories were confused… But I know one thing for sure. My conscience couldn’t let me do it, I restrained myself from it… I repented in my dreams… And she made her move… My conscience betrayed me… Damn… I hate it… I have no courage to finish it all… And now I want to die…"

Ohay, it's up.

Edit: Well as the people below me said, the editing is kinda mainstream and gets repetitive after a bit. I was actually expecting the video to be atmospheric, dark and.. slower, because of the video info and the banner, but yeah. You use a few tricks all over throughout the video, so it can get boring. It left me thinking it wasn't decent up until 0:50. I just can't help but fall in love with the second half though.. I like the sources (awesome song) so combined with decent editing it's pretty much a keeper for me.
6.5/10.

Higurashi made me download this before. I didn't really like it.

The music and the editing seemed just like from any angsty metal action video, which got boring really fast. Furthermore, it didn't do the anime justice at all.
Don't get me wrong, I think it's just really hard to make a good Higurashi video anyway, if I would know how myself I would've done one already...

Good that you anounced it, because when I browsed though the akrpss videos 2 weeks ago I didn't download this de to the anime even though I fucking love that song. Good thing I did now, because it's pretty nice, some parts are a bit stereotypical especially the very beginning up to 0:50 and some later parts as well. I don't mind the use of b/w and shake + grain at all because I use those alot as well, but sometimes you went a bit overboard and mixing it with the fully colored scenes without any transition didn't really help. But still the song combined with above average editing makes this video pretty enjoyable for me. Definiatly a keeper, and ... keep up the good work.

Saw this some couple of days ago

It's was somehow interesting with the whole horror atmosphere. Unfortunately it got boring after a while but a good Hirgurahi video nonetheless
