Yessssssss, more Higurashi :)

I would've liked to see news on Chiru or Yoigoishi-hen , but I guess this can make up for the two.

This is great news! My favorite anime continues! I thought the anime was done, so I hope they don't turn this into fanservice like in the past... Higurashi is about fountains of blood and screams of horror, not lame slice-of-life humor.

Cool! Hope it's based off the "true ending" arc from the PS2 VN. Rei and Umineko really killed my impression of the When They Cry franchise (yes, I do call it that, ya' fuck), but all would be forgiven with something that awesome.

...But, knowing DEEN, it'll probably just be poorly animated fanservice "comedy."

Wait...isn't the whole Higurashi series a random filler crap? I mean, this whole concept has an infinite possibilities for producing millions of unrelated arcs, but fanboys would still keep saying there's some extremely clever plot in there.

because there is a link which connects all of those so called random events...... and first two higurashi is no where near crap......

Yea, I agree. The first season was just unnecessary blood, screaming, laughing, shouting, USODA etc etc. Being a gore fan, I didn't mind it but I still thought it was stupid filler. At first I thought the anime would be something stupid to watch just to enjoy it...but not really anything to you know...like it. But the second season was good, but there was still a bit of of filler. I think that most of Higurashi was filler, but it's still worth the watch. Though, a little of the first season was needed, because you can't just jump straight into it, and the mystery was really thrilling to me. I loved it...but to make 20+ episodes of it is stupid. The concept is not infinite arcs, the concept is about friendship, hope etc. Once you get past the bloody exterior, you'll see that the series is actually very light hearted. The series wasn't spectacular as series, I will say that; but as an anime it was really good. It's my favorite series IN COMPARISON to most animes considering most of it is moe moe fanservice bullshit. Yes, there is a twist in it, and something somewhat clever in it. Rika is an interesting character because of her counterpart (Bernkastel). Hanyuu was interesting, because besides her moe appeal she had an actual character. A counterpart (her godlike self). The rest of the characters were average, and somewhat believable but nothing special (They all had depth, but they were still average characters). The plot had potential, but it got killed with fanservice, filler, and an overused concept. (BELEBE IN UR FRENDZ, AND BE HOPFUL. How many times has that been used?) Although the concept was presented in a unique way, it's still a lame concept. I like how it was presented for the MOST part. The twist was unexpected. Very unexpected. It's confusing when you get into it, but just that...confusing. It was sort of intelligent, but it wasn't amazing. (It would have been intelligent. I like the twist the most, but like I said...it got killed with fanservice, filler, and an overused concept.) The humor was a nice touch, but then it just became filler after too much was put into it. It was necessary to take a break from the gore, and sadness so I was very lenient with it. Though I hated how some of it was just thrown in there, and then that just became filler. :/ What I don't understand is how some fans could just be in it for the filler senseless gore. I was in it for Kai. Needless to say, Higurashi is my favorite anime...but not a great series as a whole.

Correction, Higurashi is about lame slice-of-life humor turning into fountains of blood and screams of horror. The mood whiplash is integral to the higurashi formula imo

as has been mentioned i hope it's an actual arc. Higurashi deserves as much for its 10th anniversary

I would've preferred a Chiru announcement with Aoi Yuuki voicing Erika and Mamiko Noto voicing Dlanor.

OH WELL.

Still veryexcited about this. But the "Kira" part does make me worry... It'll probably be some fanservice filler, but those are also entertaining.

That's awesome!I hope this OVA is going to be Onisarashi-hen. If so, I would get to see Natsumi and Akira animated! As long as this isn't stupid one episode with humor (I hate Higurashi humor), I'm looking forward to it. ^^

At least it's not Chiru, I don't want this one to be slaughtered by a shitty adaptation.
But... "Kira"? The heck is this and who's going to write the scenario? Oh, on the other hand DEEN skipped like 3/4 of the original vn when they were creating the adaptation, so maybe they'll just fill some holes...

Interesting. Higurashi fanboy here so I'll be watching, filler crap or not lol. The useful thing about Higurashi is that you can go back and retell "bad end" arcs without mucking up the continuity of the end of the story, so provided they've got a good one that adds to the mythology and character I'm all for it.

It'll probably be pointless fillers though. Oh well, if it's Higurashi, I'll watch it.
