OMG! It started and I was so happy at Rika in the following, ![]() along with some nice ass shaking from her in the spoiler I would be freaked out shitless with how everyone was in the following, ![]() The phone cabin was scary indeed but I did like that everyone saved Keiichi from Miyo in the spoiler The episode itself should be considered as a joke with entertain value and so the elements in the list is what made it fun.
About the ED, the ED gives us some very nice poses of the female characters being in their yukata such as one of the twins in the spoiler About preview, the next episode looks to be more serious yet I cannot quite be sure if it’s part of the real story or just another parody of something. At least it looks way more serious than this episode. I wonder if they will do like the last OVA format in which the first episode was a joke and the other 3 were serious shit. Well it fun to see all the cast of this series once again. I am therefore happy in regards to that. Modified by Yumekichi11, 07-22-11, 1:11 PM |

I loved the Mion Body sushi, especially with Shion licking it, so lilicious and wincestious. The Rika ass window washing was funny. Hanayuu's scene was a disappointment though with all the fanservice couldn't Kenchi have tripped and landed on her or something that can produce actual ecchi. Also it was a bad scene for a wet scene, anything would have been better for it except a shrine maiden scene. The nosebleeds from the Satoko bath scene were epic. This was the fanservice episode, the next is a magic girl episode, love Rika and Satoko's outfits. Looks like there may be some good violent scenes in that one too bad it's 2 months away. 4/5 ![]() |

The ecchi parts were not as bad as made out to be from previews or maybe it was just me... Oh gosh the Shmion scene reminded me of the Hen Zemi OVA. I really liked the remix of "Ai" BGM, I wonder if there will be an OST for Kira *o* I laughed so much in this episode. The Takano & Keiichi scene reminded me of a dream I had once. Exact same thing except scenery was somewhere else in the school (some dark place) and Keiichi had a dog collar. xD;; Animation wise, I think it was better than Rei actually. I loved how they parodied Onikakushi-hen. Dem troll faces lolol. Keiichi's monologue. xD 4/5 Can't wait for episode 2! So psyched!~ Magical Girl Rika and Tuxedo Mask-esque Keiichi? I hope they work together! *o* |

Well, watching this solely for Shion and Mion. They're always so full of win. Just sayin'. >Tomitake fantasizing about Rika washing windows with her butt in some cosplay outfit This kind of trips my lolicon alert. Oh Mion, you so crazy. Also, dat Takano. And ED's crap. Speaking of which, OP is quite crappy too, but it's strangely catchy. HAPPY! LUCKY! DOCHY! YES! YES! YES! Actually, it's amusing how I find this much better than the original series. Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. |

They started the episode with Shion's delicious cackle laugh. Oh, how I've missed it. <3 And lol, Tokitake fantasizing about Rika washing windows with her ass in a cosplay outfit. Oh Tomitake, you lolicon. Tomitake said: Sasuga mad scientist Houoin Kyouma Irie! All of these batsugemu are so full of win. Takano-san, HNNNNNNNGH. Dat voice, Itou Miki, I've missed you so much. <3 Next episode we'll get a Puella Magi parody... Looking forward to it! |

I could definitely tell it was one of those episodes despite not watching original series. I loved the body sushi part. |

The side of me that absolutely loves the story brought on by the visual novels and first two seasons of the anime hated this, whereas the male, testosterone-driven side of me loved it. 3/5 ![]() |

Even though i did not like Rei, i strangely enjoyed Kira (and this is coming from a girl). it was especially funny when Satoshi just popped out of nowhere and then they had bunny suits on. I also like Rika's line: "It's unfogiveable! Nipah~!" I didn't realize how much i had missed Mion/Shion's laugh until i heard it in the begining. And Takano's voice was nice to hear. Everyone's voices were nice to hear, saying new lines and such! I don't usually like stuff like this, but i did like this ep a lot. 7/10 (also, the art has improved much much more from Rei) ^^ ![]() |

WTF WAS THAT? ;O Haha alright, it was okay. I wish it had more of the Higurashi comedy feeling, but instead it feels like a different show. That's the source of my dissapointment - the fanservice was alright, but it just wasn't funny. Even though I didn't think Rei was very good, it did have me laughing a few times. In this first episode of Kira I wasn't even close to laughing. (The OP doesn't count. That did make me laugh because it's so different from the past ones. XD) XxshizxX said: Where can I watch this? :.. If you don't feel like downloading, the raw is on Youtube... |

I'm not too happy about the fanservice (Because I am a girl) But I'm definitely excited to see Keiichi in his maid outfit in it! :) |

This is, by far, the most shocking episode I've seen in the entire franchise. My favorite part of this episode: ![]() Imagine my horror when I realised that the subbed version of this episode was released a mere ONE day after I gave up waiting and watched it raw. *NERDRAGE* Am currently downloading the subbed episode; Will add more thoughts on the episode later (It's one hella ecchi-eccentric episode).

I...honestly don't know what to say, other then Rena looked damn hot in that maid outfit (but I swear, her breasts weren't that big.) That was ALMOST as weird as the first episode of Rei, and it's just gonna get weirder. I'm hoping to see at least one episode of murder, but so far it's alright, I guess. It's still nice to see Higurashi again. |

Amaya-no-Hime said: Not nearly enough of anyone, really. It was pretty much just Keiichi. And a few figments of his imagination. I don't mind Keiichi, but I wouldn't have minded maybe a bit more Rena. As well as all the other characters without ecchi implications.Not nearly enough Shmion. 2/5 I mean, I didn't really walk into this with high expectations or anything, but I expected at least a little comedy or something. Just ecchi. Nothing but ecchi. Boring. 2/5 |
