You recommend this anime to your friend, pilot episode, they react with this "WHAT THE HELL YOU GOT ME WATCHING!?!?"

It aired October 2018, extremely controversial first episode. Any details directly describing it immediately give it away.

I’m going to take a guess and say Higurashi??

Correct.

Gender identity confusion strains a friendship. Also 2 of the side characters forget they're cousins.
