* [[Family-Unfriendly Aesop]] - "Stick by your friends, even if they've brutally murdered some adults and are now attempting to blow up the school." |

** A more positive example that you don't see stated outright is that while you should certainly stick with your friends, it's okay to keep things from them that they don't need to know. Otherwise no one would be friends because they couldn't bear to tell others about the mistakes they've made. |

* [[First Installment Wins]]: The anime's first season is more well known than the second one or any of the spinoffs, likely because it contains more mystery, horror moments, and gory murder scenes that became iconic for the series. It was also the only one that got an English dub. |

** ''Higurashi'' could be seen as this for the ''When They Cry'' franchise as a whole. It got two anime series' dedicated to it's main plot, two light-hearted fanservice OVAs, a special episode, a 1 hour special film, and even a live action film adaptation. ''Umineko''... got one anime series dedicated to it's question arcs and then nothing more. |

* [[Fridge Logic]]: The secret ending for Matsuribayashi {{spoiler|where Takano never loses her parents}} would logically turn the story into a downer ending, though granted one with few to no deaths. It goes like this: {{spoiler|She never meets her grandfather and thus never tries to research Hinamizawa syndrome, thus she never sets up the clinic. The anti dam project group does not have the clinic's backing anymore and thus the village is submerged before Keiichi or Rena ever move in. Hinamizawa residents tend to get deranged outside of the village, though granted this would only happen to some individuals. Even if the dam project is halted, the disease is still there and people like Satoshi would get arrested. One of the group of friends would also probably go crazy since apart from the last two arcs one of them usually snaps.}} |
