Didn't Ryukishi confirm that all his characters are actors playing different roles? Battler/Butler, Rika/Bern, Satoshi/Sakutaro/Sakunoshin, Natsuhi/Julie, Satoko/Lambda/Meryl, Akihito/Akihito, Okamura-kun/Nonomiya Takeshi... There are some other Rika lookalikes, but they are obviously different actors who just look similar.

That would make the All-Cast-Review sessions in Higurashi the highest level of meta, followed by the sea of fragments, the Umineko metaworld (which seems to be a relatively small cluster of Rokkenjima-related worlds) and finally the individual parallel worlds.

This is pretty mind-blowing. And yes, the canon version of the story, which is the VN, clearly shows that Satoko's actress (Satoko) got butt naked in the third arc and played her role passionately despite being so young. She is incredibly talented.

Higanbana had a teacher rape, photograph and blackmail a schoolgirl. It had elementary school kids ganging up on weak ones and driving them so suicide. It had some of the most fucked up stuff Ryuukishi has ever written.

And yet, it didn't take advantage of the fact that it takes place in the 80s, when lolis were still allowed to appear naked in both mainstream and arthouse films, to explore the concept of Midori (the actress girl from the third chapter) getting bullied to death after doing an innocent nude scene for a movie.

Wasted opportunity, IMO. Especially when Japan still allowed that stuff well past the mid-90s, before being cucked by western influence. It's an interesting idea to explore. How nude scenes can affect the actors in their personal lives, especially when they are young, self-conscious and surrounded by asshole classmates with zero empathy and a desire to bully others.

>Anime-Satoko's parents intervened and refused to let her play the Tatarigoroshi scene naked because she's a growing preteen loli with the typical body-image issues, so it would be traumatizing and wreck her self-esteem, on top of making her a target of cruel bullying that would lead her to suicide. Her acting ability would also go to shit during such a crucial scene if she had to do it naked in front of all the cameras

>Anime-Rena was too pure to refuse and her real parents were too busy to pay attention to their daughter's acting career, so she got tricked into getting naked for an unimportant scene in a filler season that isn't even an adaptation of the visual novel. It all came out of the perverted mind of the filler episode's writer, who wanted to see Rena naked and have her shameful ass immortalized forever in the show.
