Ok, I'm going to start off by saying this: If you are a hater, go ahead, hate. But I am a Higurashi DIE HARD. And I can completely explain my review. Of course, Kira has just started, and ohoho there's still more to judge.

Story - 8
Although it's basically unrelated to happenings of the actual - at the lack of a better term - "timeline" to Higurashi no naku Koro ni, it gives a fun and comedic spin off. Some may not like this because they want more questions answered, and honestly, I think they all were (play the game!). I must admit that ... I do miss some of those mysteries, but it's time for some fun. At some parts you'll laugh until you are lacking in air, at least I did. This ojii-chan is not a big ecchi fan as well, but to this I proudly say "nipaー☆".

Art - 10
Auuu~ DEFINITELY improved. Kai made it better especially, but with nowadays technology and animation skills - kanpeki na no desu!

Sound - 10
Soundtrack, amazing as always, adding a nice touch to the comedic tragedy of Keiichi's failure of a life and everything else. Voice actors, of course, very fitting as usual. Opening and ending, a great twist the the usual "kowai"-ness, giving us some "kawaii". Plus, Happy! Lucky! Dochy! is way too catchy.

Characters - 10
I must say this must be the one of the only series I've seen in which I love almost all the characters (Ooishi, go die.). And I'm going to take Satoshi-kun home.

Enjoyment - 10
Yes.

Overall - 10
Afterall, this is probably the last Higurashi work: EVER. Why not make it fun, kana? As I said, there's still more to go, so don't start rejecting it completely yet. And you ask, why continue? Because unless your a reincarnation of Oyashiro-sama and can tell if it'll be bad in the future, you should continue.

Or else you'll make a certain purple God very angry....
