| I don't know why but I have a feeling that this is going to be disappointing. And I hope I'm wrong but either way I am curios about this. |
| The studio doesn’t seem to have produced anything that great but we can only wait and see if this will be any different. |

| Looking at the picture, I get a bad feeling too. But who knows, it might become greater than the original anime. Probably difficult to do but, like you say, only time will tell whether it's bad or not. I'm looking forward to finding out. |
When people tell me to stream anime on CR instead of downloading from fansub sites.  |
| Maybe because you're one of the many who can't just sit back and see the good in things. You have to always see the bad and assume things aren't going to turn out good. Have faith and if it turns out to be a train wreck oh well you gave it a chance. Move on to the next possibility. |

You're wrong man I do have faith it's just that picture and the studio that gives me bad feelings but like I said I hope I'm wrong. |
| Well, the original creator is involved, and Akio Watanabe is the character designer (I personally love his art style especially in the Monogatari series). The only possible red flag is the studio, but I'm approaching this with cautious optimism. |

| My Signature Is Signature. |
| I wouldn't have that bad of a feeling about this, but seeing the recent trends in the anime industry, I just can't be but nervous. The picture doesn't look that bad, it actually even reminds me of the PS graphics. But the studio, haven't seen anything from them so can't really tell, tho the scores don't exactly raise hopes either. I just hope they won't try to bite more than they can handle. Please, don't try too much, just be natural. |
| Intelligent gets through situations which wise avoids. |
| I dont care how will it turn out,just give me same voice actor for Satoko..♡ |
 |
| Because the original Higurashi was already bad but this is probably going to be worse. |
The word elitist is stupid since it's just used by people who can't defend their favorite shows and use it on people who criticize their favorite shows.  |

| Pretty much everything is terrible now. They only make new versions of things to sodomize our memories. They could have left this alone though. It better be ok or I am going to Japan and NIPAAAA those responsible to death. |
| Oh god the animation. |
| The combination of the studio + the cover art gives me flashbacks of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kira :(( |
| I never liked any Higurashi title after the first season, so I don't care about this one either. |
 |
| Atleast its not Pierrot I guess. Though Im looking forward to this. Also think about it this way, this isnt another seasonal OP MC Isekai show. |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| In fact im really hyped, the character design is made by the one who's in charge of monogatari series and the producers done a lot of PA Works anime like Nagi no Asukara, eventho the studio itself is still questionable, maybe we can expect great artwork and animation from this. |
Trackneed said: Passionne has done the anime adaptation of Rokka no Yuusha. The plot may be not as dark as Higurashi but it's still pretty serious. After reading the first tome of rokka's light novel, I can swear there's nothing missing in the anime. I believe Ryukishi is doing the right choice by choosing a studio with small capacity but with some experimented staff like the guy who was director on spice and wolf. That's precisely my reason to get my hopes up on this one. If the staff is the same as the one for Rokka, this will likely have the best adaptation Higurashi's visual novel never had (except for the novelization because that was more of a copy-and-paste job). |
 |
| The teaser image is underwhelming and the currently ambiguity with no information besides it being a new "project" being available...yeah, it makes sense why y'all have a bad feeling. Hopefully this studio is as enthusiastic about their project as we have been over the years |
| The only thing to worry about at all is censorship .... i mean yes, the TV version will be censored. But the censorship to which i'm referring is one were they might scrap scenes all together because of being too much for nowdays TV. |
 |
| Your heart is not in the wrong place. Anytime they remake something that honestly doesn't need to be remade, you get a bit worried. I highly doubt it will capture what made the original special. |
Awoo :3 |

Everything seemed to be firing on all cylinders. Then came season 2. Some episodes were fine, others were simply terrible. Others were like a Scobie-Doo episode... a bad one! I couldn't force myself to watch any more... I did try. Overall the plot of S2 was good, but the execution was unforgivable. Parts were just plain bad. So "cautious optimism" with a sense of dread here... |

| I think all of us should try to play the visual novel, and forget the first adaptation for the moment. (Tbh I started reading VN, because I wanted not to be bias and it's the blast, it's not your traditional VN, because there are not a lot of choices, if not at all). I bet most of us haven't played/read the novels in their entirety. I think in some aspects this adaptation could be more accurate, than the first one. Because in the novel there are quite a lot of light-hearted scenes. But what's the point on being accurate if the scenes composition and the vibe will be off? One thing I am not thrilled about is the director(let's be clear, let's not check out the studio, but the people working on main things). If Kawaguchi Keiichirou (Island, Hayate no Gotoku!, Kowarekake no Orgel and etc.) adores source material, I suppose it could work, but I'm not the biggest fan of the technical aspects of his work, as composition or storyboards go. I feel that Naoki Hayashi could be saving grace, they worked under Black Fox and Citrus. Yes, the first adaptation done by Studio Deen was not the most eye-catching, but at least people like Chiaki Kon (Juuni Kokuki, Makai ouji: Devils and Realists, Arcana Famiglia and etc) that makes even the generic otome look interesting enough. I am hopeful, that this adaptation will be good edition to the franchise. And even if not, we are still getting Higurashi no naku koro ni merch in 2020, and that's cool, isn't? If adaptation is going to be popular enough, maybe we gonna get even manga re-released. |

| I'm not really worried about the studio as higurashi has never stood out to me visually. But it does look too "anime" to have the same impact as the original series. The director is also directing 3 series so close together (2 summer anime and 1 spring) so I don't think he can give higurashi his full attention and the script seems have only worked on a few mediocre/bad shows. But i'm still hopeful |
 _______I like rocks__  |
| Hmmm The bad feeling is just probably a feeling of pessimism. Try to feel free to expect the worst, because that is where you are left vulnerable when watching anime. At least try it, because I know for sure it has a message that is nust for you and the rest of us! |

| *just. Jeez my typing is bad |

| It's just a supreme irony to me that Higurashi which was already phenomenal in every way in its original two season, 50 episode iteration or 51 counting the season one special (forget the OVAs and side stories; they are optional if you want some extra comfortable cushioning after the denouement and fanservice) is having what's really a wholly needless remake whereas Umineko which was widely acknowledged as a botched and rushed failure and flop in so many ways pretty much right out of the gate in 2009 is left to rot 11 years later. Remake the one which actually needs to be remade. Not the one that was already an utter masterpiece in every respect from its precise and methodical building of atmosphere to its voice acting to what remains one of the best OSTs to this day.

Frankly, that only matters to people comparing the show to the visual novel, whereas plenty of people haven't read the visual novel, don't intend to as they don't read visual novels generally or at all, and just want to judge the show for the show by its own merits as a distinct product. As a non-VN and non-manga reader typically, I don't really care how the VN or manga compares to the anime. I just want to watch the anime for the anime and judge it for itself. And traditionally whether it's VNs or manga, modern young adult novels or classic literature, Japanese or Western, a common theme is that an overwhelming amount of people who've read the source material are never happy or satisfied with any adaptation because you can't compare the mediums. You can't compare the endless running time of a book of any variety and the emotions or images it allows you to conjure up in your limitless private space and imagination to any show or film. So for a show like Higurashi it's only natural that the VN readers are going to be purists about the source material and the anime-only watchers are only going to care about the story the anime wants to tell, what the anime accomplished and made them feel. And I think that's fine. |

| I've decided to play the visual novel instead over watching the anime so I can't say but... I bet the original is still best for the true depth of the story. |
| I finished all Higurashi last month. Yea I have a bad feeling of what the community gonna say. The anime originally didn't have good art/animation but it deliver the story pretty well. new remake is probably a combination of both season but different route |

And I think that's fine. I know lots of people like the old anime and didn't read the VN, but what if this new anime will be much more faithful to the original? it'll be far better than the old anime, the anime-only fans have nothing to lose lol (at least the VN fans and the anime fans will be happy), if it turns out to be a shit adaptation you can still watch the old anime anyway (but Ryukishi07 the original writer of the VN said on twitter that he's writing the script for the new anime so i have hope that it'll be better). and tbh if you haven't played/read the VN you don't know if it needs a remake or not, right? because you think that's as good as it gets but don't know that it could be even better if it's adapted more faithfully. + i think if this anime is a success, they will remake Umineko next. |
