| Any info about next ova?? Cause it somewhat seems to be the only episode. |
| I love how nobody questions why Rika's voice suddenly drastically drops. But I liked it quite a it, and I found that this was probably the best way to end this amazing series. It ties so much up in the end and explains really everything that was left unanswered at the end of Kai. Also this episode shows just how scary Rena can be. |

Even though you and her became soldiers for the same reason, you both live differently. Listen Canaan, you cannot counter hatred with hatred... ever." -Siam, Canaan |

I didn't seen anything more then usually staff (like those shown in Higurashi Rei), but it might be I've missed something due to lack of knowledge (haven't read past 4th vol of Umineko manga). Hmm why does it have a ? on the episode count? Will there be more?! I wonder if this is a World where there was no Takano (Season 2 Higurashi spoiler: |
moonkingdomify said: I love how nobody questions why Rika's voice suddenly drastically drops.. fairly certain it does this a lot through out the entire series. Rika is hundreds of years old and when she speaks seriously her voice has always taken that tone. lel. |
| After adding in that global scale stuff in the end they better make it happen. It was really good though seeing this kind of scenario. |
| Damn, Rena is one crazy bit chh... |
| Ah. Well that was more or less the conclusion I had come to based on what you said, then. |
| |
DarkSageRK said: Sure. --- So I'm guessing this is the only episode? I'd welcome more, since in the end, it's still Higurashi. Well, it had things I didn't like, others were decent. But, it honestly felt more like a "dream" and some of the characters felt OOC. Best scenes were Rika's expressionless face when Irie shoots himself, and where she lets out a few tears near the end. Also...Dat Dear You ED & Takagi <3 |

LevailRenn said: Harii said: The lack of realistic emotions was quite jarring; like Rena stating that they killed her father like no big deal and Keiichi's father letting his son go on a dangerous mission to murder people just like that. Because of that, none of those action scenes held any weight. I agree. I thought it was strange that when Rena kills the first 2 people, Keiichi doesn't even look surprised or tries to stop Rena. He just watched with a blank stare. And it also seemed out of place for Irie to shoot himself. |

| AMAZING CAP, RENA IS THE F*CKING LAW!! |
 |
| As epic as it was, I had no idea what exactly is going on most of the time... |
| About the connection between the two shows (Higurashi and Umineko): Also dobbs said: I did notice something that got me thinking. Isn't there a lot of guns for this to be Japan? The guns were from the hunting association. Guns that are used for hunting are allowed in Japan, provided that they are either rifles or shotguns. |

| Hope mods would fix the duration. Outbreak was adapted fully. There won't be any more OVAs |
 |
| ka na ka na? *_* |
| EL PSY KONGROO!!! |
iampancake said: meh.. even though Outbreak was adapted fully, I highly doubt this will be the last episode. I remember reading somewhere that the ending will differ from the original story. They might continue the series with an original story, let's wait.. And you're sure that that that wasn't the different ending because...? Unless you've actually read the original short story. In which case, I'm going to have to harvest it from your database. |
|
| 5/5 guys? You're mad. Okey, It's a good OVA, but the original series is like 1000 times better than this. But hey, It's DEEN, haha. If they made an adaptation of Saikoroshi-hen... Or nope, better not. |
| I thought it wasn't that bad, better than Kira anyways. Like everyone said, Keiichi and Rena were kinda OOC but this is an OVA after all. Pretty disappointing if this is all there is to the story though. |

DoctorGore said: If they made an adaptation of Saikoroshi-hen... Or nope, better not. Episodes 2-4 from Rei, in case you weren't aware. And if they were to adapt something, it should be Onisarashi-hen*. It's the best spin-off story so far in my opinion. *If and only if they don't fuck it up. In which case, I'll say they should stop adapting. |
|
| Is it me or the ED theme song sounds familiar? i`ve heard this song before |
| Do you play Azure Lane? Then please join my fanclub https://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=74907 |
| This wasn't bad at all You need some prior knowledge about this series though to understand things Unless you like anything with blood flying around |

What they have to do is a GOOD adaptation of, at least, the first episode of Umineko... |
| Well I loved this one ^^ although it wasn't particularly good. It's pretty much just forced fanservice just as most of the other OVA's. Thing is that I think that they actually could have made it Rena and Keichi's actions a lot more believable if they had killed of Keichi's parents before they start killing people. If both Rena and Keichi would have had to see their parents killed then I think they wouldn't have been as out of character since we already know that both of them are not too many steps away from psychotic killers xD I feel like this setup could have been made to work without losing any of the badass action and gore ^^ |
| *Sigh* Seems like this was only made so Higurashi fans would get some gore after the shit called Kira. Nothing interesting, 2 teenagers beating up a bunch of grown up guys, oh and did i mention nothing interesting. And by god! No Takano!!!! Major disappointment. I guess 6/10 will be a little overrating this one, but I'll give it that anyways since it's so much better than Kira.. But darn I am disappointed. |
| Dat ED |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
wheresthehandle said: Dat ED By far the best part. So darn beautiful. |
| Was kinda meh. It was unnecessary to begin with though. Higurashi was a great series, but it's over, Studio Deen should stop milking it I guess. |
AkaiKyouma said: Do you know if there will be BD of this OVA? Or only DVD? I believe I read somewhere it's only gonna be DVD. |
| I'm eager to see where it goes now, the whole world becoming crazy has a world wide zombie outbreak kinda feel like resident evil so it should be a good survival story. Although the main reason I watch it is to keep the mion x keiichi ship afloat. I always saw Keiichi and Rena more as best friends or even siblings rather than any romance but Mion is perfect for him so they better throw in some kind of romance between the two somewhere, survival situations always bring out the love. I also feel they are playing it too safe with the story, they should really throw a curveball. The nature of Higurashi leaves it open to have absolutely anything happen. Throw in some severe character developments and changes make it a progression of story rather than just keeping the characters the same as they have been in over 2 series and more mini series failing that just make Keiichi and Mion a couple for the love of Oyashiro Ive waited long enough to see it. |

 |
| My word Rena is badass! So this is the only OVA? Doesn't feel over at all, won't they continue it? |
| I thought someone said it would be three OVA's |
|
| Okay I lost my sh*t at dear you, I'm crying damn too much right now. So it'll be only one OVA after all huh? It was pretty good. |
 |
| Well, I hope they continue the story in the future. For now, it's over. That's it lol. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Ok, i am extremely disappointed with this OVA. When the fuck did Rena and Keichii become super soldiers? Whats with the pretentious bullshit about natural selection in the end? When the fuck does this take place, is it an alternate route in the VN or something? Where was the fucking atmosphere? God damn, at the least the ED song was good. 5/10 |
| It took its time to finally be released and subbed but well it wasn't bad for the long wait! While it wasn't all that amusing the great and absurd action in this anime still impressed me! A decent buildup towards the end and somewhat decent concept surrounding the infection of a whole town by a virus! In general a pretty decent ova but tbh I don't see where this ova fits into the main story... |
 |
| Higurashi has so many seasons and side stories and what not. I think I've seen everything, but I'm still unclear as to what's going on here. Is there supposed to be more OVAs or not? I looked through the thread but the answers are mixed. Should I be moving this to my Watched Anime or waiting for more stuff? Any more follow up stories, etc? |

Essentially, it sets up a new storyline... RockerXD said: When the fuck did Rena and Keichii become super soldiers? Yeah, it's kinda funny how they were portrayed here. They can annihilate 100 person strong mobs now. |

| Thanks Wakka. But when you say it sets up a new storyline, are you referring to the fact that it bridges the gap between something that's already aired, or that something new will be coming out? I've seen the series in its entirety as far as I know, but it's been quite a while so I didn't really perceive this OVA as being really relevant to anything. |
|
| Well, this OVA was a big disappointment for me. Even though it was only about 50 minutes or so, the pace felt wrong and I really didn't find it that interesting. I haven't seen the Kira OVA, so this one might be better than the previous one, I liked Rei a lot more though. What I liked was the fact that it was more focused on Keiichi and Rena, which I think is an awesome duo, and the ED song was nice. But overall, I can't give it more than 5/10. Well, I guess I'm going to rewatch the first season of Higurashi... |
