| I don't know. I really liked this episode, although there was certainly already closure before. Although this basically does outright say that even though Rika likes to mess with Hanyuu, they're definitely friends that comfort each other, with the crap they've had to deal with, which I thought was adorable and closed things up nicely. But, did we really need this? Even Rei wasn't really necessary. There was enough closure with the last episode of Kai. Meh, I'm generous. I'll give Kira 4/10, if only for this last episode. Episode 1 was godawful, and 2 and 3 were mediocre at best. I know it's popular, amidst the QUALITY I still think Higurashi and Kai were just amazing, but this is indeed just milking the series. Please, Deen, no more. |

| I guess I'm the only one here who enjoyed Kira. XD I think it was rather good as a PARODY (imo people take it too seriously). Even though I dislike faservice I think that the first episode was very funny. The second and third too but I found the last one VERY boring. I mean, it had no point and the whole episode could be finished in 5 minutes. And I didn't understand what was with Rika asking the chibi Rika to stay. I mean, I get Hanyuu, but Rika? She of all people should understand how important it was for her to get back. Also, am I the only one who found this episode to be rather Rika/Hanyuu shippy? :-D I give this 6/10 for the last episode and for the fact that they could have made it Higurashi style not parody on Higurashi. |
 |
| too effing cute! I'm just glad that they separate this from the main series. imagine if this was on Kai... the fan base would explode more heavily than it already is. This was a different and welcomed take. just don't watch/buy the box sets if you really hated it. |

| I fast forwarded the 1st and the 2nd episodes, the third is fine, and then the last episode is quite good because I just love the bond Rika and Hanyuu have. Because I'm such a nice fangirl, I give this 7/10 |

| The only episode that was worth anything... And boosted up the final score by a number or two Also dem cheeks ;_; |
| lol @ img bbcode not working, mal is such a great site |
| Well overall this season was nothing compared to Ni, Kai, or Rei. It was all fanservice were the characters are all cute, adorable, sweet, and boring! Then watching this series was ok as well seeing as we won't know who will Keichii fall in love with and if Satoshi will ever get out of his sickness and if Rika and Hanyuu will grow up to be lesbians? But this show was great and fun. 4/5 Sayonara ~Nipaa! |
| That was beautiful :) I don't know why there's so much hate for this OVA, it just shows the characters we know and love in different situations. I, personally, love the humor in Higurashi so this was refreshing :D |
| So Cute Nipaa ~ Was a really well made OVA liked it more than the main story! |
 |
| This episode felt a bit out-of-place, but everyone except for Hanyuu seemed to be in character, which was a relief. Hanyuu felt OOC to me because she was so emotional. I know that she is pretty emotional normally, but this episode just overdid it. I didn't really care for the episode itself, but the art for Haminazawa was amazing. I never thought the junkyard that Rika hangs out in was that massive! Also, it was nice to see the characters roaming around Haminazawa's nature. I'd have to break this episode down into two scores: 10/10 for the atmosphere, and 3/10 for the story. At least it was better than episode 1 and 2. Those were terrible. edl01 said: 1 of 5 for the episode 2 of 10 for the series since I honestly didnt mind episode 3. 2/10... You know 2/10 is the same as 1/5, right? |
| Some parts of this post may be exaggerated. |
| Second best ep, it was cute. The first ep is my favorite of these 4. Too bad 2nd and 3rd ep sucked. |
 |
| The entire OVA pretty much sucked, but I can safely say that the last episode was the best of all; not that it makes it a great episode, but it was merely okay. |

| Pretty stupid and pointless episode. |

| I liked this OVA. It showed more of the fun side of Higurashi. Also it not like they could have added a new story-line. The story was wrapped by the end of season two. 9/10 since somethings did not seem like Higurashi style of fan-service. |
 |
| Well, I'm not a fan of the previous 3... Especially the very first one... But I'm a huge fan of this episode! If this is a standalone 1 episode OVA/movie, it's an "easy" 8 out of me. Would've give this a 3 ~ 4 if it weren't for the last episode... For now, I'll settle at... 5 |

| Hanyuu was soooo cute. Also the double nipaa of both Rikas and Rena wanting to take Keiichi's "cucumber" home. Really liked this episode. |
| Finally got around to watching this a year later. Episode 1 = rustled jimmies Episode 2 = bad Episode 3 = meh Episode 4 = enjoyable Wasn't expecting much anyways. nipaa~ |
| Although the concept of time travel was a little stupid... Young Rika is so kawaiiiii!!!~~ God i wanna squeeze those cheecks , and the double nippah was unbearably cute!! Also the ending was really emotional and made me felt happy for Hanyuu who is generally treated harshly by Rika :( Anyway Ep 3,4 makes this series of OVA's, so i believe a 5/10 is appropriate . (I should have given minus points for that unbelievably stupid Ep2 but nevermind.. :P ) |
| I give 6/10 total. EP 1 was funny, EP 2 sucked, EP 3 good, EP 3 good. |
| Naah its over |
| As for me, I won't compare a parody comedy OVA to the parent story because you know that you won't get anything serious here (except if the OVA has something to do with the story just like Rei)... I like how they (the characters) seems to enjoy their life as they are right now, so just enjoy the show (but honestly I don't really like ep 1 because the ecchi seems really out of place) 7/10 |
| Episodes 1 and 3 were alright, 2 and 4 were just boring. 4/10 |
| I liked this episode as well. It was also interesting. Overall It was a 50/100 with the first 2 episodes being perverted crap and the last two being interesting episodes. I'm going to miss all those Nippa's Rika says. I've actually heard them enough to like them. One more to go and it seems to be an hour long episode. |

| Art is really phenomenal this episode, and truthfully in the entirety of Kira. Whereas the original Ni and Kai shone due to their plots, Kira has some cosmetic strength in its favor, as well as an upbeat Op and Ed, with cheerful music sprinkled in. I wasn't a huge fan of episode 2, but episode 3 and 4 really bumped this up from a potential disaster, although its sub 7 score indicates that many were not thrilled. The truth is that this is sorta like the After Story of Higarushi, so ofcourse things wont be as tense, violent, and mysterious. Still its nice seeing the characters you have grown to like over multiple seasons have some peace and serenity. Will give it an 8/10, and am happy to have finished the entirety of Higurashi. A special anime series that is worthy of its acclaim, likely a top 50 anime series of all time. P.S - Was sad to hear the last Nipaaa! really grew on me, as did Rena's "Kana, Kana". |

| The art in this OVA really was nice, I always like it when forests are pictured more realistic. It's subtle, but it definitely makes a change, that's part of the reason why Mushishi is so beautiful. Nice to see some friendship between Hanyuu and Rika^^ and getting an overdose of Nipaaah!^^ |
| The Nipah was cute once upon a time. Btw, nice episode but I'm not sure of one thing: Did the others really forget the events of Hinamizawa or is just an asspull for the show to be less constricted? Finally Hanyuu gets a lot of screentimes and finally that ungrateful brat of Rika gives Hanyuu what she deserves, a fucking smile. You can be 100 years old, but I'd still bitchslap you. |
| Nice episode to finish on. Little Rika looked really weird, though. |
| Little Rika so cute >_<. Pretty average OVA series overal though but it's good to have some light hearted fun after such a dark series. |
 |
| 1 and 2 episodes were decent I guess, 3 and 4 were the best by far. And I liked this episode to, especially how young Rika shows Hanyuu what adult Rika truly feels about her, it was quite cute when they went hand in hand at the end of it all. Not a bad ending to the series at all! 7/10 just because the 1 and 2 episodes weren't quite that good imo. |
 |
| Best episode of OVA imo and a nice ending to the series. That nipah combo was so adorable, I almost cried. |
 |
| Only the last 2 episodes were worth the watch. Third was nice but the fourth was even better and had a great closure. It was great watching you, Higurashi. Farewell! |
| Each of these shows should've ended with legit H. Especially episode 3, that should've been H from the first to last second. However, it was still the best episode of the franchise. 7/10 |
 |
| The first two episodes were pretty crappy, but the last two episodes were alright. Overall, 4/10. |
 |
| This is the perfect place to end the franchise. We have peace, and closure. |
| Very solid episode, I loved it. Little Rika was so cute, but I prefer the slightly older one! |
 |
| I guess it says a lot about me that I enjoyed these OVAs more than the actual show and the OVAs before lol. Comedy and fanservice just appeal more to me than gore and mystery it seems. |
| Double Rika-chan, Double Nipaa~ I'm just realized the ending song on each episode was sang by the VA themselves... Wholesome & Cuteness Episode 👌 |
 |
| This episode was more serious, less funny but well overall it was pretty fun for the parody aspect xD |
 |
| Ofc they ended it with a nice little mystery from Hanyuu and Rika's kid mode little adventure. Dang, why this lovely ova should end? Its always entertaining when every stories have their own route. I am honestly preferred this lovely one rather than creepy psychotic higurashi one. Even Hanyuu aggreed with me. However, the flagship of them where the mystery, psychological-horror-supernatural, intermingled at one show, its always became one of the most interest part of the series. While indeed, this one solid OVA Higurashi, proved that they improved it to be nice, if everything just ended into a peaceful day. Higurashi Kira described it pretty decently, especially with these last. I don't care if the plotline mostly silly. When its can deciphered a lovely activities, what i love, i give the show pretty high. Surely this one deserved that, no matter what other peoples said. 8/10 |

| Great episode, just a nice addition to Rika's backstory. The last 2 episodes were great but the first 2 episodes, especially the first one ... were not needed imo. |
