"The feels man, the feels..." |
| Got done watching it. It was not bad as most reviewers make it out to be. 4/5 for the fan service and laughs. |
 |
| Wow. I knew that I was going to be somewhat disappointed, but not this much. 2/5 But for the lolz in the ep 2.5/5 Unfortunately, I have to drop it... But who knows. They might have something on deck that will blow my mind later on and I might get back on it... But I doubt it. |

Indeed, the joke and comedy parts are the ones left out before in the tv serie. I promise next time I will only tell people what they want to hear. You shouldn't tell anything in the first place, everyone watch what they want, where they want and how they want, is their damn freedom. |
| well, I did not expect much and yeah.. it was just fanservice and several naughty scenes. 3/5 |

He was giving his opinion on Kira, you cannot say he shouldn't say anything. That's his damn freedom to say his opinion. Oh wait, I always seem to forget that people on the internet are quite intolerant of opinions... |

Onibokusu said: I couldn't give both main seasons a 10, and Rei's "serious" arc was dead boring. I found the first and last episode funny though.Considering that you rated the first season of the Higurashi anime, despite the atrocious production standards on both the visual and story fronts, over the better adapted Kai and Rei (which just happen to contain more ecchi and comedy scenes), I'm going to peg you as minding the 'comedy/ecchi stuff' Amaya. Don't tell me what I think of anime. |

| My first post on my new account and I have to say 1/5 Being a woman in my 20's I can see the appeal of fan service, but I was so disappointed I couldn't believe it. I saw there was a new episode and I got so excited, only to be saturated in ecchi scenes. Well, more like over saturation. So I've gone and bought some of the manga to read, to remind myself what the series SHOULD be about... |

| Anyone who is actually surprised by this episode obviously has no idea how the Higurashi series works. Comedy bits like those in this episode are plastered all over the visual novels, so if you find yourself offended by the existence of this OVA, just remember it's your own fault for being so ignorant. |

The comedy isn't a problem, even if it is as dreadfully unfunny as the "humor" in this episode. What I take issue with is the fact that this episode is practically begging the viewer to get hard over Rika rubbing her ass on a window or Shion licking whipped cream off of Mion's tits and how it also turns Tomitake and Ooishi into pedophiles. Which is just fucked up. |

| Did not find this funny in the slightest. I think I might have smirked once when Keiichi made a reference to the first series, which was quite obviously infinitely better. I thought the fanservice was plain awkward, the music was dreadfully misplaced in certain scenes and there was just no point to it. I really didn't want to get myself hyped up for this, and I still feel disappointed. |

| Higurashi is one of my TOP 10 favorite anime.... THIS IS NOT HIGURASHI!!! This is an OVA series full of fanservice and comedy, the original Higurashi was all about a great story that will remain as one of the GREATEST anime series ever made. Having said all of that, I did enjoy some of the scenes and the ecchi fanservice. However, it seems to me that whoever drew this anime should probably go back to art school or quit being an animator.... The art and animation is LAUGHABLY HORRIBLE, it's a shame they're doing this type of work for such a great series with great characters. Oh well, at least we do get to see Higurashi again.....it's just not the way I wanted to see it though. 3/5 |
| So it was all just their imagination. Hmm can't expect to see the girls do any of those activities. |

The first episode was filled with sexual innuendo and that alone is enough to brand Kira as "borderline Hentai". Like Rena walking towards Keiichi with yogurt dripping on her tits. Obviously the makers didn't want viewers to think about eating yogurt at that time but it had a much more sinister meaning. Does semen ring any bells? And I'm not even going to explain to you what the Takano scene was really suppose to mean. |

"The feels man, the feels..." |
| The part with Satoshi was just fantastic. :D Otherwise, it was hilariously terrible, with emphasis on terrible. It was an embarrassment to watch. |

STM said: I will agree with him but also with STM. The allusion was short and not that bad. Besides Takano is the mature one.

Point being I take it more as comedy than ecchi. I don't mind pointing out though the ecchi. |

| This episode is pure fanservice, but its final is slightly better and serious. 3\5 I hope the next episode will continue this in even more thriller manner. |
| Wow come on people, after all those bloody psycho stuff I think the series deserves some Happy-Lucky-Douchy-Moments. Ahahaha get it? Okay that was horrible but my point is actually very serious. As long as they don't go completely insane and change the whole cast with soulles 2D papersheets everythings fine. Stop bitching |: |
| Okay. If it wouldn't have been Higurashi I would give it a ~7 or something, but my problem is...it is Higurashi. All the male characters are perverts and lolicons now..it's only fanservice and a parody of itself. I really didn't like that episode and I can only hope, that the rest of this season will get like the end of Rei..which was okay. But for now..I'll give this episode 2/5 and the season 3/10. |

Stop bitching |: Oh yes, they do deserve happy moments. But do we really need to see half the main cast OOC and act as lolicons? To be honest, if those happy moments were more games like Zombie tag or other games like that, I don't think most of us would mind nearly this much. Those moments in the anime were MUCH better than this entire episode. |
| hated it. hated it. hated it. hated it. hated it. I enjoy the original series because it's a horror series which makes you go "wtf" and possibly crap yourself for the most part. and this episode was just actual balls. I didn't enjoy this series for the penalty games of rika and satoko dressed up or rena's retardedly big chest for a 14 y/o. i dont even wanna know what the other 3 episodes have waiting. this is just bad |
| I just found out and watched this new OVA episode today and I liked it. There's certain anime where I seriously have a problem with seeing the main characters act completely out of character, but when its shown even in the non OVAs that they can get funny and silly like this it doesn't bother me. That's another thing its an OVA. Its completely separate from the actual anime and is only based loosely off the originals story. With the first episode in Rei being complete fan service just like this one I fully knew what to expect. Granted I was a little disturbed at the Rika and Satoko scenes and they made me feel kind of uncomfortable I thought the episode was fine. But maybe I have a different outlook on the series because the last time I watched it was over a year ago with the final episode of Rei so its been a while since I've seen them in their more murderous personalities. |

| Oh no ecchi in my grimdark animu! Durr Gee. If most of these people complaining had read the novels they'd know this OVA fits in very nicely. 4/5 |
| 4/5 Some of you people need to chill out. It's not like the Higurashi series ever had parodies. They had this 26 episode one called Umineko *drumshot* It's felt like I was watching SoraOto... That's when I found out it's the same VA, because it sounds EXACTLY like Tomoki the whole episode. Speaking of VA: I know I'm not supposed to be getting a rise off that SatoshiXKeiichi scene, but if Yuu Kobayashi wanted to feed me yogurt like that, I would NOT complain. |
 |
| 5 minutes of the episode was enough for me (minus opening) :(. |

It's been at least 8 months since I last read them, but off the top of my head there's a certain part where Keiichi "saves" Shion by giving a long speech about how those punks were animals because they wanted her to be naked, when they should at least leave the socks on... after all clothing is what differs us from monkeys! |

Oh yeah...! I forgot about this scene. I don't know how I could, someone on TvTropes had said that part was talking about the end of the cold war (in a game taking place in 1983...?) in a lecture about porn. One of the reasons why I wanted to read the novels, just to understand that comment. Okay, you proved your point. The novels do have some scenes like Kira. I haven't read them in awhile so I don't doubt it if there's at least one or two more. |
| The first episode was just...really perverted -_- . But I do think the animation got better and I think the only thing I really enjoyed. I really hope the second episode is better than this one. |
| This took away everything I loved about the original series... Way to celebrate 10 years -_- I'm fine with comedy really. I liked the first and the last episode of Rei, they were funny... But this episode... I didn't laugh even once. |
| I haven't expected nothing serious to happen in this ovas, and I watch ecchi so it was OK. The next OVA is seems to have references to Higurashi Daybreak (doujin fighting game) or just random stuff, this is more like 30 minutes Omakes of the series. |

This is true, since the series ended (and definitely ended) I don't think they really mind to put decent story to the sales-oriented ovas. I feel really surpriced when I watched the second episode of Rei, but sadly this won't be happening again. |
