I guess watching it in raw first wasn't so bad. I kinda felt like I wasted my time watching it with subs the second time.

This was probably the final episode ever for the Higurashi series, however: THIS WAS NOT THE END.


The REAL END of Higurashi was at the end of the 2nd season (Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai).

These were just OVAs they are not to be confused with the real story which was the first 2 seasons. OVAs are usually done as side stories or extras.


Overall the Higurashi Series was amazing, it had great drama, lots of blood, lolis killing lolis and everything in between.

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni: 10/10
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai: 10/10
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei: 8/10

For anyone who wants MORE, go watch UMINEKO no naku koro ni.

Funny, light hearted ep. Rena's eyes aren't scary anymore ;].
Enjoyable, but perhaps not fitting to be the final episode of Higurashi? oh wells.

Series = 8/10.

This was the only episode of Rei that I actually enjoyed, to be honest. The first one was exceedingly lame, and the middle ones were downright boring save for a few select scenes. This final episode was just hilarious, though.

And Takano's annoying laugh shows up again.

It seemed like Rena pulled those nurse outfits out of her ass xD Yoink.

But daaaamn. I wonder how many yuri fics are going to be made from this episode xDD (TakanoRena) I liked how Rena always got insane and then switched to cutesy. Stand aside for the epic Rena punch!

The episode in all was amazing. Rena switching from one person to another.

But they were all talking with telepathy during Mahjong...weird. Then again you never really question that sort of thing in Higurashi <<

Nice ending xD Funny.

Overall I like the so called ending of Higgy. :P
It allow reflection on a different perspective in the higgy world. And I love how Rika and Hanyu get to think back on their actions.

The last episode get's a 5/5. While DEEN has made a bad job at adopting the story, they excell in making witty parody-adoptions. But I have to say, I fell for the Keiichi-Rena interactions. WANT. MORE.

Please stop spreading false information when you clearly have no idea as of what you're talking about. The events of Saikoroshi-hen, meaning ep 2-4, are definitely an official sequel to Kai as well as an ending to Rei..

Just because some OVA (and notice some, I've seen plenty relevant OVAs in my life) are side stories doesn't mean your prejudice suddenly becomes a law.

Interesting end. Although they were hardly going to go serious for just 1 Ep for an arc, so it was probably fitting.

Not great, but it was worth watching (the series, I mean).

Great last episode. Got to see all of Renas lovely sides, even her crazy face =D

Ooishi and Tomitake certainly didn't handle the situation in the smoothest way possible, old pervs =P
Would have loved to see some yuri action from Miyo though ;)

I absolutely hated this episode (except the Mio/Rena yuri parts), maybe because I can't quite stand Rena nor Hanyuu; and I feel like the whole Rena/Keichii thing is ridiculously dull and forced. Give me Mion x Keichii anytime.

Overall, I was going to rate Rei 8, but this episode made me drop the score to 7.

I agree with confused_kitsune the RenaXKeiichi thing, but I didn't hate the episode. I luved the marimite reference. Wish we could have seen more of MioXRena. I can't believe that was the last episode thou.T_T

This episode was SHIT. I cant believe I waited MONTHS for the subs to come out and what do I got?, a crappy filler-fanservice-comedy Higurashi!. Really Higurashi? Really!? This is just stupid. I gotta say that the 1st season is the best Higurashi ONLY and not the fucking sequels.

It was an ok ending. More of it being funny than serious.
but the Mahjong game was funny.
it sucks that, that might be the end of when they cry, i would want another season but they have to end sometime. -.-
oh and i loved hanyuu, she was probably my favorite throught the show.
overall i loved it alot.

Certainly a great ova overall. All the episodes were awesome in some way or another. Seeing all the characters again was good enough to make me like this ova a whole lot.

Maria-sama ga miteru reference and that mahjong game made me really laugh for some reason, but especially the first one. That whole Rena/Takano thing made me think of those crazy shippers that just ship every fictional character with almost everyone in stories. :/ But overall I must say that I somehow didn't really liked this episode. I don't know, everything was just so... fake, as if the script writers couldn't really write comedy stuff this time or weren't in in the mood for it. The whole Rena going crazy and saying "USODA" thing is just somewhat a disgrace towards the sound novels and not even funny anymore. It was just only annoying and really, really silly. Or am I the only one who find that? Probably, since the most people here actually seems to dislike the Rika arc, who I thought was very interesting... hmmh...

Good episode... ^^
Well Rena is really something... I thought I knew her as maniac I'M GONNA TAKE U HOME freak (like this part of her of course), but this episode made her too much straightforward kind of girl. I am amazed that she looked in magazines first to get to know something about photos then mahjong learning books. What we do for love. :3
I liked how she made Takano into yuri. xD

But the biggest impact on me had when Rena confessed to Keiichi... I was always hoping for those too, I like Mion too u can see her feelings for Keiichi in anime, but still I like Rena x Keiichi better, even with this short OVA. :3

While I would also enjoy seeing more Higurashi somewhere down the line, the quality was starting to decline near the end (final story arc of Kai and entirety of Rei). I'm glad they ended it when they did, since the storyline has run its course, and I'd hate to see them run one of my favorite anime into the ground.

And I'll catch a lot of flack for this, but if Umineko is any indication of what future Higurashi episodes/visual novels would be like, it makes me all the more glad the series is over.

I would, however, love to see an anime adaptation of the PS2 VN's ending. From what I hear, it's by far one of the best arcs of the series, despite not being written by Ryukishi himself.

Definitely enjoyed this more than the comedic first OVA. Probably mostly due to the lack of one liner type comedy. Overall, a decent OVA, 7-8/10.

Well no actual plot, but besides that this episode was really funny, there were a lot of epic scenes, especially Rena was the best again ^^
Still Rei is nor more than 7/10 for me, the previous seasons were just so much better :P
I probably regret this post by now.
