Recently the name of this anime and the first arc got leaked (kinda)
from amazon jp: https://www.amazon.co.jp/%E7%AC%AC1%E8%A9%B1-%E3%81%B2%E3%81%90%E3%82%89%E3%81%97%E3%81%AE%E3%81%AA%E3%81%8F%E9%A0%83%E3%81%AB/dp/B08KGSJ92K/

The series title is listed as "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Gou", potentially meaning karma, and the arc name is listed as "Onidamashi-hen" which means "Demon Deception Arc" or something similar.

Ryukishi07 (The VN author) already said that we'll know the new direction of the story for the new anime in Ep2: https://youtu.be/aAULN-RqQRw

Ryukishi07 wrote the whole script for anime himself, Passione is just adapting that script (and there's a manga adaptation as well).
So what do you guys think? personally i'm afraid and exited for the new content.

I think that's good. That makes me more interested, if it's not just a remake of what already exists. Even more so if Ryukishi is behind the writing anyway.

Thats intresting but i dont believe you jet. We have to wait for tomorrow to see where its going as you already said.
The one thing that speaks for you imo is the last scene from first episode showing rika overwatching the junkyard.

But where could the story go?

Don't let you down so quickly. Ryukishi is writing the story and he was so happy while talking about episode 2, even if it'll be different than VN and 2006 anime it still will be awesome.

In the interview with Ryushiki it seems he made it pretty clear it is a remake, but that there will be changes exclusive to this anime. So it’s not a “faithful” adaption, but for the most part it’s the Higurashi we know. That’s at least what it seemed like he was saying, since he mentioned he was excited to do a remake and he hopes we can enjoy the “subtle differences” between the VN, the original anime, and the new anime.

I've heard people saying that the Onidamashi-hen may be a mistake from Amazon's part, as they apparently did similar things in the past like naming an arc as "Satoshi". Seeing how the difference between Onikakushi-hen (the original 1st arc) and Onidamashi-hen is of just 1 kanji, there is a mistake that could be likely.

Also, to name it Onidamashi-hen it's also really weird, as Onidamashi is a fan story from an obscure fanfiction story compilation called Kataribanashi-hen, and I find it weird for Ryukishi and Passione to be ok on adapting something like that. I'm more down to think that this is a rewrite of the og arcs, now that Ryukishi has the experience and insight on the story, and he either used the name Onidamashi-hen because he liked it, or it's just Onikakushi-hen and Amazon made a mistake.

This "Onidamashi" however, have no idea what's it about.
I'd be very pleased if it was just stuff like Yoigoshi-hen and Onisarashi-hen.

The LNs are on nyaa so i downloaded them and took a look at Onidamashi, it was just a 30 pages story that has nothing important lol, probably R07 forgot about it when naming this new arc.
And Amazon had the name of the series as Higurashi Gou (karma) then after the fans saw it they changed it back to just Higurashi, so i think that leak is right

It's a new arc similar to Onikakushi but they'll change how the story is told, that's all i know for now, the script is written by Ryukishi07 tho

Yeah, the people who dont see the great setup from the anime remake and the love that's going into the slice of life character buildup are a bunch of goats who can't see anything. Deen's Higurashi riding on the shock value is why there are still a ton of people who didn't even watch season 2. For me I found it initial jarring that Rika became the main character out of nowhere in season 2, after seeing how Deen utilized her poorly as a character in the season 1 arcs. Again, for shock value mostly. Ryukishi's interview talked about the 仕掛け (setup) so it looks pretty hype.

PV 3 confirms it.

A certain character appearing already compared to no screen-time from Deen's version throughout the first 26 episodes, this goes beyond the realm of rushing content xD.

In all seriousness, it's safe to assume that things will play out slightly different in this Passione version.

You can watch this without the OG, but it'll spoil the og for you.

Now, that we won't know until at least next year I'm sure.

If there are plans of a 2nd Season, we'll probably know right away close to the end of these 2-cours so it's all about patience until then, for better or worse.

I, on the other hand, think there won't be a 2nd Season as well but who knows. If this series can come back up after 10+ years, anything is possible lol.

it was intentional, watch the interviews/news /ep2 before you talk.
why do you think they revealed the real name and released a new trailer + key visual NOW after episode 2 not after ep1?

Well they certainly trolled everyone.

Playing the remake card right until episode 2 reveals itself as a sequel. In some ways that is alright. The original still holds up well and not sure this was going to blow that out of the water anyways.

Of course, probably not a great thing for anyone starting fresh. They didn't show off everything in this episode or explain it all. But it might be a different kind of confusing depending on how they tackle it.
