>it outright spoils the story
I would say that it summarizes the story and only people who know the story understand. I mean, Hanyuu's reflection in the water? Takano's black dress? What does it mean?? It's not enough to spoil anything imo.

Though if I were to cheat, I would argue that the anime openings for Higurashi are still godtier.

The first one is mysterious, bloody, unknown and paranoia inducing, which is basically ep 1-6 in a nutshell.

Kai really just focuses on a single episode and it perfectly encapsulates Rika's suffering, struggles and loneliness. It's no longer about the mystery but the suffering of Rika.

Then you got Rei, which starts off ominous and weary before becoming upbeat and optimistic, much like how Rika was still cynical and had to chose to accept her single life and be happy with it. I also find it funny that Rika is riding a bicycle. Reminds me of that quote that life is like riding a bicycle and you keep your balance and keep moving.

And then you get Kira, which is Higurashi returning to its roots. Namely Happy! Lucky! Dochy! YES YES YES

Can it be argued that the anime openings are the best openings?
