Backlog Dialogues is the nerd culture podcast where we dig you out of your backlog, BEFORE it buries you. We attempt to bring a literary eye to nerd culture media, like video games, films, TV shows, and more. Think of us like a book club, but for video games and other types of media. Our second backlog-buster is: When They Cry!

    Higurashi When They Cry (2016) - The Best Adaptation You Can't Watch [Bonus Episode, Listener Request]

    We're still on break, but we are here with a bonus episode as a listener request, just in time for Watanagashi! Join us as we discuss the surprisingly good 2016 Live Action adaptation of Higurashi When They Cry, as well as the many difficulties we had in watching it that make it a hard recommendation anyway. Discussing Regional Idol Groups, Tokusatsu Stars, Prolific Character Actors, and roughly twenty minutes of yapping about other adaptations await in this episode inspired by a patreon subscriber!

    Undertale Minilog - Despite Everything, It's Still You

    It's the season finale for Backlog Dialogues, and what better way to send off Saikoroshi than a Minilog about a game for true witches, Undertale. Join us as we discuss the many characters and endings of 2015's smash indie success and summon all our determination to see it through. Plus, bonus heresy as suitable for a minilog paired with Saikoroshi! Oh what fun. This week on Backlog Dialogues, we take a look at ourselves in the mirror.

    Higurashi When They Cry Rei - Saikoroshi Episode 3 - God and Dice Should Both Be Silent [Ch 5-6]

    Rika has to make a choice, and the responsibility for that choice cannot burden anyone but herself. Will she kill her mother and return to the world she fought for, or will she live in this world and attempt to improve herself here? Is she a human, or a witch? Perhaps a certain orange haired street magician has the answers... This week on Backlog Dialogues, we accept the world we are in, and bid farewell to witches.

    Higurashi When They Cry Rei - Saikoroshi Episode 2 - The Rika Westphall Hypothesis [Ch 3-4]

    In her search for the fragment that prevents Hanyuu from finding her, Rika's depersonalization continues as she lashes out at Satoko for bullying her. Is this world real, or is the world she came from a fabrication of this world's Rika's sad mind? Rika consults Doctor Yamamoto, setting off a chain of events that leads to both the possibility of this world's Rika finding happiness but also a terrible truth that provides Bernkastel a way out. This week on Backlog Dialogues, we get a little heretical.

    Higurashi When They Cry Rei - Saikoroshi Episode 1 - Dumb Ways to Die [Ch 1-2]

    Rika has arrived at the 1983 of her dreams, and is riding high off the success. But in her arrogance, she fails to remember the important lessons from train safety PSAs and plays in traffic, finding herself in a nightmare bizarro Hinamizawa where no one likes her and Hanyuu isn't around. Can Rika find her way out of the labyrinth and back to her world again? It's time for the coda of Higurashi, Saikoroshi, and its far more introspective mood. This week on Backlog Dialogues, we talk about being safe around vehicles.

    Mob Psycho 100 Minilog - Become a Good Person, That's All

    For our penultimate Minilog for this season, we look in to one of the most impactful stories of adolescence anime has to offer. A coming of age tale about growing to become the best person you can be, about the people that change you as you grow and that you change in turn. A tale about the changes one experiences in their body as they grow. A tale about being the most powerful psychic in the world, and how that doesn't make you special. This week, Backlog Dialogues is talking Mob Psycho 100.

    Higurashi When They Cry Kai - Matsuribayashi Godcast - Graduating Question [Staff Room, TIPS, Secret Fragment 52]

    We've made it to the end - or have we? As we explore the many facets of Matsuribayashi's post story elements, as well as the anime and manga adaptations of the work, it becomes clear that Ryukishi07 still has a bit more to say in this idealistic fantasy world of his. So join for this penultimate Godcast as we prepare for one final voyage.
