Higurashi Console Arcs (Pt 44): Neo Begins the Connecting Fragments Arc
3[BLIND LET'S PLAY]
It's time for the latest arc in the Higurashi Console Arcs to begin, and THIS time it's the "Connecting Fragments Arc"! It's just like the Connecting Fragments section for Chapter 8 Matsuribayashi of the main story, but this time it'll primarily feature all the new characters introduced in the Console Arcs!
Except, SPOILER ALERT...
this is only HALF true. While this arc DOES indeed focus on the Console Arc characters, the actual manner in which this arc is structured... is nothing like the Connecting Fragments section for Matsuribayashi, at all. In fact, it's basically 5 pages worth of Tips. So no piecing together which fragments to watch in the correct order in order to gradually unlock ALL of the fragments, or anything like that. Just pick and choose whichever fragments you wanna see at any time, grab a bucket full of popcorn, and enjoy.
Not only that, Neo was told he'd have to solve 99 fragments, but the actual number of fragments he has to sit through this time around is roughly only half that number, so Neo was lied to right out of the gate as to how difficult the challenge this arc aims to give him was actually going to be, so Neo now has grounds to sue somebody for false advertizing, and dealing with lawyers is something Neo wouldn't wish on almost anyone.
So yeah, right out of the gate Neo feels somewhat let down by all of this, but even so he will press onward, hopeful that he'll get some much-needed answers for some of the recurring mysteries of the Console Arcs somewhere within these fragments!
