Fans of Higurashi: When They Cry<\/strong><\/em> are still reeling from the recent end to the anime-exclusive storyline, Higurashi Gou<\/em>. While the next part of the storyline will be coming this summer with Higurashi Sotsu<\/em>, fans just recently were informed of an unexpected crossover with the horror series.<\/p>\n

Sanrio has crossed over with a variety of franchises, but none have expected a collaboration between Sanrio and Higurashi: When They Cry<\/em><\/a>. Considering that Sanrio is a mostly family friendly franchise with the Higurashi<\/em> series being infamous for the sheer amount of blood, gore, and human suffering contained within it, the two couldn’t be any more different.<\/p>\n

The crossover was announced both on the official Higurashi<\/em> anime website and the official Sanrio Twitter page. The background behind the crossover states that a Sanrio Puroland theme park is being constructed in Hinamizawa, the village where Higurashi<\/em> takes place. This of course is an April Fools’ prank<\/a> by both those behind Higurashi<\/em> and representatives at Sanrio, with the village not being a real place, only based on one.<\/p>\n

Even though this is a prank with there not being any kind of anime special<\/a> about Puroland in the Higurashi<\/em> anime, plenty of official art was created for this crossover. These pieces can all be currently found on the Higurashi<\/em> anime website with them all being more focused on the pure Sanrio image than the horrors behind Higurashi<\/em>.<\/p>\n

False information about how the Sanrio characters are doing in Hinamizawa is also being posted on the website. This includes events such as the Sanrio character<\/a>, Hangyodon, being appointed as a police chief and My Melody performing at the\u00a0Watanagashi Festival. Clicking these news links however all lead to gifs of Higurashi<\/em> characters smiling or laughing, showing that the whole thing is an April Fools’ joke.<\/p>\n

Higurashi: When They Cry Gou<\/em><\/strong> is currently available for streaming via Hulu and Funimation.<\/p>\n
