After watching the third story arc for this show, I decided my favorite anti-hero, Kei, deserved his own wallpaper. I basically decided to do something just dark, with a lot of interference patterns in the BG (ie, stock and line work that counter-act each other) to try and develop a sad and confusing look. The music inspiration comes from a song by an artist called VAST, and I think it complements everything rather well. Enjoy!

Deadly. That's all that comes to mind. Love the title. The wallpapers is beautiful in it's own way.

Yum. Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni is just too good of anime. I can't handle it. This wallpaper is great, nice grunge work with an eerie mood that depicts what the show is about. I love how this wallpaper has the just-right amount of red in it, rather than over kill or whatever... which happens all to much. The text is kind of big, but I can't say it takes away from the overall greatness that auras around this piece. Great work!

-puts on the song while she comments- not only do the lyrics fit, but the whole feel of the song fits as well. love the grunge a lot. i havn't watched this series yet, but i keep meaning too. and i definitly will xD also, i love the faded text in the background <3 see what happens when you listen to the music i tell you to? you make awesome grunge walls!
-wanders off singing- dead angels speak to me sometimes...giving me advice that i should hear...you are what i'm looking for, because you're close..because you're near <3

Red...Damn man you really impressed me with this. Some people say having big ass text in the front spoils most of the mood...this doesnt...It makes it better, SO much that its now my desktop. Period...Cheers Red WELL DONE!

You are consistently making walls I enjoy. I love the character in this one. I'm not familiar with the show, but his pose is very determined, and it really suits the bg. Also, the text caught my eye immediately. Great job, once again!

A rather simple, yet addicting and it seems to draw you closer. The character seems cold and felt sorrow in his life. The colors really represent his emotions as well. The title fits the background and the character very well. Keep the work and effort up!

YES I LOVE HIgurashi no nakur koro ni! PSYCHO GIRLS ARE THE BEST!! ne wayz the wall is damn good! I love the overall dark tone of it, scary and freaky :) Definitly fits the tone of the series.

This wall is so nice! Its theme of darkness can make you feel the dark side of the protagonist (with the sentence "Dead Angels Speak to Me Sometimes" make a viewer feel in the same way). One of the best wallpaper for Higurashi fans!

This definitely fits the feeling of the show. I love the background and how the whole thing fits together very well, while at the same time feeling chaotic and insane. This is an awesome wallpaper.

Ok, this wallpaper here has the most cunning layout and filter design ever to be seen on a When Cicadas Cry wallpaper. It is just perfectly dark, red and rusty. Exactly the way I love it! And there is also fairly distinguishable Keichi, who holds a bat... Sweet!

i like it when a song's mood is "visible" in a wall. And I love this song. The wall looks great full viewed :O +

Liked this anime and this character as well, also finished watching season 2 already. I'd say that the whole story or, let's say, set of stories that make it up are really awesome. But beware, it's not for the weak at heart. Well, this wall does give an impression worth keeping. If you would be the person in his shoes, in that situation, I think that you'll do more or something else much like what he's done.
Nicely done wall, you captured the emotion in it, keep it up!

Been using this as my background for a couple days now. I think it is really one of my favorite walls for this anime. The darkness mixed with the abstract makes for a creepy feeling that I got whenever I watched an episode. Good job :)
