Agreed. But;

Higurashi is not a manga adaptation. Also, there is not any filler episode in the anime first season. Higurashi Kai's (anime) first episode (SaiKai) is filler. The arc (Yakusamashi-hen) after that episode is kind of filler. But not exactly. It is the compilation of some parts of some arcs in the vn. Kai (anime) ending (Bernkastel & Miyoko scene) is filler, too. And, Rei is not filler.


Actually, I don't think that scene with Bernkastel and Miyoko is a filler. Until about 5 minutes ago I thought it was. I just found this when I went back to Matsuribayashi. In the Matsuribayashi arc of the Visual novel, After you play through it once (And have a saved game file at the point where "all" of the pieces are unlocked (Without continuing yet)) there is a 52nd piece (AFTER the Akasaka one) where it shows the scene with Bernkastel asking Miyoko if she wants to live or to die.

So, believe it or not, but the scene with Bernkastel and Miyoko is canon.

No problem! I found it by accident, so I didn't know it was cannon until I decided to re-read the 51st piece, and lo and behold, there was an extra one.

Higurashi.... One of the two series (The other being Death Note) that brought me back into the Anime Scene after and long Hiatus from the days I used to watch Naruto. Hope it turns out great!

omg...can't say i'm too excited, after seeing Rei...though there were funny parts, it was a waste of time really. if anything they should animate Kokoroiyashi-hen or Umineko Episode X. (Don't think it's finished, though :/)
I would prefer it if they would animate Chiru. I guess I'll just have to buy the Vns. I have the first four arcs to Higurashi...I need to ge the answer arcs and the Umineko Vns...I'm not really looking forward to the animation itself, either. as well as it improved, it still sucked in Rei. They should've animated it with the care they used in Samurai X: Trust & Betrayal. That was brilliant animation, there. 'Frickin bones should've animated Higurashi and Umineko. Think of the improvements.
Oh well. Guess I'll have to look forward to this.

Moe?!?

Look this is the 10th anniversary of Higurashi, a series that is known for anime girls killing people. For it's complicated plot. NOT FOR MOE AND COMEDY.

That trailer is a flat out abomination, and will be a huge slap in the face for fans of the series. THIS IS HIGURASHI, NOT K-ON, NOT LUCKY STAR, NOT SOME MOEBLOB SHIT.

And that vomit-inducing song in the video is the OP, where are the atmospheric, haunting OPs of the previous seasons?

Hell, I disliked Rei, but at least it felt like Higurashi. This thing, when it comes out will not be Higurashi in my opinion and while I may watch it, I'll deny it's existence.

They could have done better for a fucking 10th year anniversary.

Everyone here should know by now that this new OVA thing should be considered filler because Higurashi ended at Kai. Rei helped tie in some slightly loose ends and (kinda) introduce a character for that upcoming Umineko anime. This new one Kira, is pretty much just for fun, they already finished the main plot.

good god people. i know at first i wasn't excited about it..but now i am. because it's the 10th anniversary! come on! be happy there's more! at least they keep the character's personalities in rei, and i hope they will in kira. you guys on my anime list and other forums are being too picky. look, i want some umineko chiru myself but the animation itself is exciting me! besides, the series lacks satoshi and i have a feeling they'll touch into his relationship with shion, and i'm excited to see something like that. think of it like this: higurashi wasn't just blood and gore. it was a struggle through an endless labrynth. and learning to trust your friends. as cliche as it sounds, higurashi touched that in the right way. and ya know what else? i think rika, satoko, keiichi, shion, hanyuu, mion, and satoshi deserve the happy world. i want to see more of that in kira. the fans deserve to see the characters of what they are besides the insane gore and paranoid accusations. the characters were more than that. you people that are tuning in just because of the gore, your not enjoying higurashi to it's fullest, and you're not enjoying the characters-which i think were put into deep thought. Ryukishi did well with this. let's just hope the ova shows some more of those characteristics the anime left out to make time for the main plot. 'cause i sure as hell think they have way more personality in the vns. you guys get the point, right? diss it, critisize it, whatever...after it's been released and you've honestly watched it. you can't judge because of previews. and besides, it's just for flippin fun. it's not going to ruin higurashi. because what makes higurashi is not the gore, no, but the characters. you guys should be vomiting happy tears (satoshi fangirls especially!)
we're lucky we're getting anything. they could just abandon chiru, and leave higurashi as it is. at least like this if they don't animate chiru, we'll have more higurashi to enjoy. if your gonna be picky, go to another fanbase or anime or whatever. especially if you think higurashi's gonna be ruined.

Im still super excited for Kira, even though the PV wasn't so great. But im happy Satochi is returning! XDDDDDDd
Also, i heard that the scenes they showed are only from the 1st episode so let's rejoice as we hope to expect more from the other 3.
It would be nice if Rika metioned Bern-chan again, so we could maybe see a little more of how the 2 stories are connected. :3

You guys that are dissing this series aren't really fans-true fans would wait patiently, watch, enjoy the time and effort spent into the series, enjoy the bgm, ENJOY THE CHARACTERS, and THEN JUDGE THE SERIES.
It hasn't come out yet. Those who are judging the series now-you're fucktards. Get out of the fanbase. As for the true fans that are excited, REJOICE! Satoshi's back...and Keiichi get's to meet the nigga. Be frickin' shitting happiness, assholes.

We're just venting on how it isn't what we expected. We were hoping for something closer to Kai (I am well aware that (almost) all the mysteries are solved, so not much can be done to make it feel more like Kai.) rather than something on the opposite end of the spectrum.

Once it comes out, many of us will stop ranting about it (although it might take until the second episode if the clips in the Pv were only from the first episode).

Well yeah, but some of the extra "filler arcs" from the manga (Yoigioshi-hen, etc.) are pretty cool too and haven't been animated yet.

And some of the art looks... odd (Rika, Takano, Satoshi). I guess they were trying to make it match what it looks like in most of the scans and went wrong somewhere. Oh well, it's not like Higurashi ever looked that great to begin with (look at season 1 for a minute after watching an episode of Kai, and you'll notice the same kind of art shift).

The OVA looks kind of bad, but so did Rei, and the comedy parts of that were pretty alright. I'll watch it even if it's just for more of the "soul brothers" or Takano being a fangirl.

@Zfish9

All the 'visual novels' are released years ago. You know that, right? :P "We were hoping for something closer to Kai" Really? :D From 4 episodes of OVA? Hmmm. :)

Great expectations. :)


I am well aware the visual novels have been out for years, I'm just overly optimistic to a fault when it comes to Anime.

I was thinking along the lines of the remaining episodes in Kira could do what a few manga chapters did, create their own story with another mystery, like yoigoshi-hen did.

As for hoping for something closer to Kai, the Saikoroshi arc in Rei was closer to Kai than the first or last episode in Rei (And I know that was from a visual novel too, and no more visual novels for Higurashi have been released outside of remakes). If the preview only took scenes from the first episode of Kira like I've heard, and Saikoroshi was only three episodes long, a small plot-based arc could be fit in the remaining three episodes of the OVA. Unlikely, but possible.

Anyway, I can't help but want a plot in an ova about an anime focused on the plot, rather than just a moe and fanservice-filled ova about the same anime.

Meh.

Oh well. I'll watch it anyways, because it's shiny. I don't really mind a fanservice OVA. Frankly, it doesn't really matter to me.

Appealing to the scary/complicated-plot fans of Higurashi may be difficult, but hey. Maybe they'll add something nice. You don't know until you see it~

I don't care what the OVA has in it... it's still Higurashi. :D
If I want something like all the other novels, manga, anime series, etc.. then I'll just go watch or read those.
If the series is nothing but ecchi fanservice, then meh whatever, I'll still watch it and enjoy the hell out of it! <3 I'm looking forward to Kira no matter what~

And the theme song? Its awesome and I love it~ <3 =u=

Satoshi and Keiichii in the PV... O.O
Isn't that a time paradox or are we going to finally get a resolution to Satoshi's condition??


I doubt we'll get something as serious as a resolution... Satoshi being there is just a bit of fun. xD


I suggest to anyone watching Kira... Just forget everything from the previous seasons. :| Lumping in the seriousness and drama of Higu and Kai, and Saikoroshi-hen with this OVA is just... no. Leave it be. :D Kira is Kira, Kai is Kai, the first season is the first season, etc etc...
HAPPY MARIA!

Before watching:
"Psh, no way could it be that bad. I mean, I endured Rei for the sake of the first two seasons, but there's no way it could be worse!"

After watching:
"Please excuse me while I go find myself some mind bleach. Or find a way to insert myself into the series so that I can introduce that obviously lacking murder element. Either or."
