The title met the expectations so far, with more revelations in the answer arcs represented by the first two episodes, I see a really good potential for Sotsu to become better than Gou, unless they shift from the main plot of the story. Would like to see what unfolds after the answer arcs between Satoko and Rika! Op is really good as well. The fresh start after a small break proved better than Gou visually!
Rika's nightmare will never end, not with her betrayal of Oyashiro-sama...

Amazing. The fact that its the first original arc (as in not being in the game) makes it exciting for those who have played it. Even more, it strengthens the connection with When They Cry Umineko, which is a game made by the same creator of Higurashi. So far so good, keeping the gory and despair, the trademarks of the Higurashi series, as well as dropping hints for theories to come. Anyhow, great anime.

For the most part, I can say that this is better than Gou, but it is still with its issues. The first being that since we now know the killer, their motives, and the twists, it almost feels like a chore to rewatch the same arcs, albeit with slight alterations to recontextualize them. It doesn't help matters where one arc I had in mind would have still ended up in the same results.
The animation is still good, but it kind of feels like a waste to see them being reused for the sole purpose of adding context to them. If anything, I saw a lot of the scenes coming after seeing the events of Gou play out with a few genuine surprises that caught me off guard. But I do like the visuals of the opening theme and the ending theme which again resembles a watercolor painting of Rika and Satoko just living their best lives together.
Once more, the characters were placed to the wayside since the show is really more about the conflict between Rika and Satoko. And even then, I'm just getting bored with that as the driving theme.
I did like the OP and ED themes, though.
