The: When They Cry Series

The When They Cry Series where popular series of anime: When the Cicadas Cry and When the Seagulls Cry were wonderful anime and manga both in their respective English title name translation it’s hard to remember and spell the Japanese title of this anime (I think they have a game to especially the When the Seagulls Cry), also I’ve seen a trailer of a live action of When the Cicadas Cry, both of the series were good and pretty interesting to watch.

The similarity of the two series is that they where both psychological, thriller, drama-comedy, and kind of supernatural, but the for what I think the selling part of this anime was being a thriller anime, and the way how sometimes the characters kill each other, and also the surprising development in the story.

Some of the things you will see in both series that after an arc story (failure of surviving), another arc in the same time line but somehow different to the story that it followed, they were revolving only in a certain year and event repeatedly as they seek survival. Also there is a girl who is like a grown up version of Rika Furude, she appears in the last episode of the When Cicadas Cry changing Takano Miyo’s fate when she was a child. Also Berkanstel (it was suspected that she too is involved in the other series, as she is the girl who appears to Takano Miyo went she went out to play with her friends changing her tragic fate) “the Witch of Miracle” as she appears in When Seagulls Cry helping Battler to fight in the game of Beatrice “the Golden Witch” but it isn’t clear if she was really helping Battler as an ally or she just want something as a past time.
