| Against our hopes the next Higurashi series will be only an OVA called "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei" The OVA is based on the fangame wich has the same name released back in december 2006. The info comes from the June issue of Megami Magazine. source: Moetron Moonphase |

| nooo~! how disappointing! XP |
| Better than nothing. |
     |
| Awww...these are bad news but an OVA isn't necessarily bad since the producers have less restrictions. Well, better than nothing a cancellation would be much worse :/ |
| oh no. i thought there will be a season 3. but OVA is good enough also. better than nothing XD |
 |
| Series are becoming OVA's now? Tsk. I had finally gotten interested in another Higurashi. Ah well, best be good ^^ |
   |
| I wanted a season 3... but alright indeed better then nothing |
 |
| To be honest, the material already seemed to be rather stretched thin towards the end of the second season. I look forward to a solid OVA over another season that could have ended up with pacing problems. |
  |
| Aww I wanted another season of Higurashi :(, but OVA is alright |
 |
| Well, I thought the idea of a third season wasn't that good in the first place, since the second had a pretty definite ending, but after getting used to it, I'm disappointed to see that it turned out to be just an OVA. |

I'm actually quite relieved it's only an OVA |

| Sounds good to me. The season 2 was far off from being as good as the first one /:. |
    |
| Ouch! Since I'm much more anticipated in seeing this. I thought that it will be a series like just 12-13 episodes; but if this is just going to be an OVA, I hope it won't be just 1episode OVA. ^^ I would also wish that they produce the TRUE END, rather than the HAPPY END in the 2nd season. |
     |
| Damn! I was really hoping for another great season of Higurashi =/ |

| dammit! so both Higurashi and School Rumble will be OVAs. I was hoping for at least a 12 episode sequel |
Darkreaper70 said: Better than nothing. True, but I was expecting more =/ Oh well, it's Higurashi and that's all that matters :D |
| tsk! what's even worse is that those arcs are totally irrelevant to the core story.... *sigh i should have heeded Hanyuu's advice not to expect too much or the disappointment will be even greater.... |
     |
| THANK YOU OYASHIRO-SAMA Another 24 episodes would have only ruined the series. |
8GaugeBrett said: To be honest, the material already seemed to be rather stretched thin towards the end of the second season.

Looks like only Overfunk and 8Guage realise that having a third season would only be a disaster with the amount of material left. The Rei arc is 2 months after the HAPPY End, so I look forward to a solid Higurashi OVA. |

| I really believed there would be a third season .. ;__; |

I don't know if you guys have noticed, but there's really not much left to animate now that it has a pretty closed ending. What would the new season be? "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni: The Adventures of Rika-chama in Hinamizawa!"? I was expecting a shorter series (about one cours.) that would probably go into the past and background of Hanyuu, but this is fine too. I'm not looking forward to the wait time though. : ( |
| Eh, I'm kind of indifferent about this, I was really hoping for a new full-length series but was wondering how they would be able to pull out the material for it. I guess this is better than nothing though. Who knows? Maybe they'll decide to animate Umineko no Naku Koro ni some day |

I'm actually quite relieved it's only an OVA I hope you mean the second season because no just no if you thought the first season finished most of the story. |
freedoleen said: yeah, I heard about it... what a disappointment. along with School Rumble 3 OVA. OMG NO school rumble as well???? |
| This is probably for the best, another season would have been too confusing since pretty much everything has been answered now. A fun, fast, OVA is most likely a better choice. |
kuroshiroi said: This is probably for the best, another season would have been too confusing since pretty much everything has been answered now. I agree. Since the 2nd season wasn't as good as the first one (happens almost everytime), the 3rd wouldn't be creepy at all thus it would prabobly suck big time. An OVA should be just fine |

  |
| How is this disappointing? The core story is over. All that's left is side stories... unless they wanna do like a Fumoffu thing... which I would so be in favor of... |
| My first novel, Kardia has been published! Click here to read! |
| First thought: AUGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH Second thought: This is actually good, I wanted the second season's Good End to be the final end. |
| Hmm, I don't really mind as long as the OVA is good and has a nice pace. |
 |
| ... D: Although I didn't like the second season as much as the first, I still wanted to see a 3rd season. But yeah, better than nothing. |
 |

freedoleen said: Wait so SR season 3 is an ova too? damn-it.yeah, I heard about it... what a disappointment. along with School Rumble 3 OVA. |
  |
| Dang it! I was really looking forward to a season 3! What a major disappointment this is! But I guess an OVA is better then nothing. |
 |
spring_onions said: tsk! what's even worse is that those arcs are totally irrelevant to the core story.... *sigh i should have heeded Hanyuu's advice not to expect too much or the disappointment will be even greater.... Yup! You are right! Although I hoped to see another story with Rika as an adult.But i guess that won't happen...I can still hope,I guess. |
Don't talk to me about character development if Kaizuka Inaho or Slaine Troyard are in your favorites. |

I really love that quote of Hanyuu!~ :3 |
|
| I figured this would be the case. Unless they wanted to make it a 'Fumoffu' type of series, there's really only the Rei fandisc left. Since the chapter is short (as short as Himatsubushi, give or take), there should be enough space to suffeciently cover the events. |
   |
| Better than nothing I guess.. |
 |
| eh.. o well.. |
| USO DA !!!!! |
