Basically:
Higurashi is "old school" and "niche" (horror/visual novel) that most are not interested / aware of.

But its presence is so strong in the community that people treat it as its own thing, rather than as part of an IP.

I believe that Higurashi fallen to in some limbo of anime in general sense, like a person looks and associates with "anime" in general, not some specific work, especially the old art.
So this why is strange this silly blue gal is really part of real show, not some shitpost art that simply exist in forums.
Same with other works, especially visual novel based ones that follow similar artstyle from the time. Mostly can cite "is from x" but never seen or understand the following, so is more of a presence rather that something.
Oh hey, you're new here. welcome to the forums! I hope you enjoy your stay!! :bocchiwave:

And exactly because have soul, the OG art turned in "shitpost" so resilient, even to this day.
Yep. It's crazy how all of R07 When They Cry installments are so memeable. Even the newest ones like Ciconia.

It's lore to the entire When Whey Cry series about how some characters names correlate to the numbers '34'. It's kinda confusing for me too. :aquadrink: @pandascepter
