Episode 26 was released today. The series is now complete; however, be aware that only the first six arcs are covered in the anime series. The actual explanations, as well as a nasty plot twist after the end of arc 6, are left out of the anime adaptation. Anyway, excellent show. There's suspense, drama, gore, mystery, and even a bit of comedy. The artwork is really not that great, and as the series goes on, it gets worse due to the, you know, lack of a budget and all. However, the series itself is great. Don't let the bad character designs (transparent hair etc) turn you off. Ep 26 was released literally an hour and a half ago, but you can already find complete torrents for the show. Subtitle quality is great; WinD did a really nice job with the series. Triad is also subbing it, but they're only up to episode 15 or so. Music is by Kenji Kawai, whom you may recognize from a bunch of Japanese horror movies, such as Ringu, and the Fate/stay night anime. Very dark stuff, and it works well. One of the high points. It's not entirely good, though; as I said before, the art is highly lacking later on. The last episode manages to pull off some very nice scenes, though, so I don't really mind. There's also a number of plot inconsistencies and instances of bad pacing - however, being based on a visual novel, you have to expect that (Tsukihime or F/SN, anyone?). If you're too lazy to read the Wikipedia entry: Quote:
It goes without saying, but, if Higurashi gets localized, buy the ****ing DVDs. Maybe that will convince someone to localize the PS2 game (haha, yeah right). Check out the manga, too!

I am sincerly doubting they will cover the last two (or five (or seven, depending how you look at it)) arcs, I have heard they are very disjointed from the series, and also very long, and thus, would suck.

Second series begins in April 2007. Hopefully it will cover Minagoroshi-hen and Matsuribayashi-hen. It may cover the new PS2 arcs as well, or even some of the other original ones (ones from the manga or Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei).

Bump for awesomeness. Watched the first season this past summer after Moogy posted those MADs in my thread... It was amazing, really. Anyway, I finished watching the last episode of the second season about 20 minutes ago. I literally cried when I went to Wikipedia and found out that there's going to be a third season.
This show is so good, really. And I second what Moogy said about the artwork sometimes, but it's still worth the watch... It's adorable, violent, and edge-of-the-seat material. ;_; It is so good.

Is there a manga/ will there be a manga?
I have been suggested this series for quite awhile and haven't gotten around to it. I couldn't really find any quick summary plot for the violence I see in the AMV's so I have absolutely no idea what's going to happen, especially after seeing only one episode. I think I'll continue this series soon. It's scary ]: The 2kids parody of it on youtube is hilarious whether you've seen it or not. http://youtube.com/watch?v=K5UfIRmkv28 |

Higurashi is still awesome though. There's a third season (nandeyanen?) coming out sometime in 2008. Oh 2008 is this year. So it comes out sometime this year.

Yeah, I feel it didn't get much attention... and I think it deserves attention, since this show is pretty awesome. <3

You really should finish it. It seems a bit slow and repetitive around the middle, but once you reach the last 5 episodes or something, it gets exciting... and you can't stop.

This show is my cocaine.
I actually found out about it when I was fooling around on AniDB one day toward the end of '07, and ended up watching all of the first season in about four days. I'm slowly watching Season Two, currently at episode 15. Info on Season Three was actually leaked out just days after the Season Two finished, it's supposed to start sometime this July, if my sources are good. I actually am amazed that they're going to make a third season, even after what happened with those killings in Japan (would post news link here if I still had one). Btw, did anyone see the Nekogoroshi-hen (cat killing chapter) special?
