Geneon DVD Review: When They Cry Vol. 5

When They Cry Vol. 5Working towards the conclusion of another fabulous series, I’ve posted my thoughts on the dark psychological horror When They Cry Vol. 5 from Geneon. 

 

The first three episodes of volume five finish off the ‘Eye Opening’ chapter. Shion has decided that those who made Satoshi disappear need to be punished and she is the one who will extract revenge. Forming a plan, Shion will start with those in her family before expanding out to everyone she deems guilty. Giving into the demon inside of her, everyone will be seen as having a role in the murder. Shion is on a mission to avenge Satoshi and that means no one is safe which includes her grandmother, Keiichi, Rika and Satako.

 

In the last episode of the volume, the ‘Atonement’ story arc begins. In this story arc, Rena and her family is the subject. A year ago, Rena and her father moved to the small village to get away from their problems. Her mother met another man and decided to leave them after becoming pregnant with his child. Rena was fine for the year that they were together in Hinamizawa but then her father meets a new woman. After Rena accidently finds out that she’s just using him for his money though, Rena decides that she needs to protect her father at all costs.
