Ok, so, I started digging, deeply, into higurashi's OP
So, most people will know the OP is just a simple mindfuck.
But let me tell you an analysis of the OP which you've likely havent heard about or thought off.
Right when the title pops up, the blood and the line form the infinity symbol, as in a neverending paradox.
When you look at the OP in reverse, you'll see: The crows flying away from hinamizawa, The Gate closing; indicating there is no light thus the flowers can't survive, Rika putting on a mask instead of removing it.
The chanting you hear at the beginning, say "You can't escape" (in japanese) if you listen to the song playing in reverse.
Also, in the reverse lyrics, Satako says: "Nii-Nii yorushite", which means: Brother forgive me.
The village which hinamizawa is based upon, is a real village in Japan.
In the 80's there was a case there in which a man got paranoid, said he was abducted by aliens. And while calling with the police in a phone booth, he clawed his own throat out (No, really, im not kidding.)
Akasaka's name means "Protect"
Remember Pokemon? the name Lavender Town was originally "Shion Town" now we all know about Lavender Town Syndrome
And actually, hallucinating that you have bugs under your skin exist, it's called formication. Scratching out your own throat with your nails is also possible I think.
And just like the Hinamizawa Syndrome, too much stress can cause extreme paranoia, the paranoia gives you more stress that can be harmful for your nerves and this may cause hallucinations and delusions. And theese kind of things can make people commit murders.
And another fun fact:
There's a parasite called "Toxoplasma gondii". scientists state that 99% of humanity has been infected. This parasite can change behavior but most of the time humans don't notice that they are already infected; because the parasite doesn't kill the host, only lives inside him/her. Some scientist suspect that it's the main cause of schizophrenia, Depression, Paranoia, and can cause hallucinations and delusions.
->Hinamizawa syndrome? anyone?
