  • And I thought the swinsuit episode was bad >.> 

  • Look people, stop moaning, this isn't supposed to have a plot, it's an OVA.

  • For the love of stop...

    Stop making pointless Higurashi episodes and go make a second season of Umineko your driving me crazy. If nothing else I hope all the profits they get from this ova go towards the second season.

    I would support it if I could but you can't buy the dvd's in America. :(

    It sad to although some might say this is crazy but I can't help but think it's the equivalent to Game of thrones what with the plot fucking your mind at every corner.

    Sigh.......

  • Guys, this is an OVA, its not supposed to have a plot.

  • @hesitate71 Exactly. ^o^

  • Someone give me a gun so I can shoot this show in the face. Then blow my brains out.

  • @satansbraten

    The original idea and such for the first season was just about a collection of Japanese horror stories told with the same characters.

    I think. :I Can't remember now.

  • Huh? Ain't the point point of this anime is to show the power of friendship and believe in your friends? Why many people think this anime is all about blood or gore? That just half of this anime, not all.

    But what I want to know is... Why fanservice...? It's not the part of this anime. Comedy? Yes. Horror? Yes. Fanservice? NO!

  • @Type03xx EXACTLY :D I am ok with Happiness and goffiness BUT TWINCEST AND LOLI FETISH NOOOO

  • @ThePalmtopTigar Hey, don't use the word "Twincest" okay? Because it's not "win" at all.

    Shion must be with Satoshi, that's obvious (disagree and you may died by her taser) And for Mion... that's up to you. But I want her to be with Keiichi. That's my OP.

  • Please. Don't. Make. The. Fanservice. Take. Higurashi.

    "ToT Nooooo!

  • Doesa nyone know who the white figure at the 55th second is?

  • i finished the second episode of this season... and wanted to throw up... that was about a month ago... still crying and feel sick...

  • huhhhhhhh....

    notice that this happens with every anime in existence..

    people like it at first, but it starts to go away to them

    i really don't care, this higurashi we have is better than not having it at all.

  • This looks retarded! Whatever happened to the extremely dark elements of this show? I mean the show is called "When the Cicadas Cry", giving it a dark and gloomy feel to it.

    Now the show is all happy-go-lucky..yeah definitely not watching this. They turned my favorite anime into something as idiotic and unbearable as this; what a let-down.

  • Omg even worse than rei

  • remember when higurashi had a plot

  • @satansbraten27 that was the only reason to watch... and now wven more so... :3

  • @satansbraten27 Nope. And I like it this way, makes it less addicting. Still addicting, just less.

  • I stand by what I said before...stop complaining, but~ I do agree that Higurashi has gone a little...overboard with the Hentai in the first 15 minutes or so, but its still pretty funny and kind of has somewhat of a plot, kind of confusing since Im not sure what reality is. Also for those of you who do not know. Higurashi ish over. The problems that caused all the goryness and craziness is over.

    R.I.P. Plotful and Gory Higurashi I will always love you. xD

  • @TheKotoriSinger Okay like the first part of the OVA is kind of overly hentai-ish for some reason but its still funny.

  • Oh my gosh. More fanservice again? Why they can't adapt, for example, Onisarashi-hen or some interesting arc and quit making this sort of things?

  • The difference is that Higurashi has a hilarious storyline, and this is just another ecchi.

    Rei had 2 ecchi OVAs, but the other 3 were good. An then this. Higurashi is not an only-ecchi anime, and they transformed Higurashi into it...

  • Before Higurashi Kira:

    "Higurashi is about more than girls that kill each other in violent and gory ways!"

    After Higurashi Kira was announced:

    "I hate the new Higurashi! There needs to be more killing and blood!"

    What the heck, Higurashi fandom.

  • @VulpixRokon I would be careful not to twist words around in peoples mouths. Of course Higurashi has always been about MORE than "girls that kill each other in violent and gory ways" (why only girls, btw ? Keiichi and Co. are too insignificant to count ?). But the series was popular for being awesome serious horror/mystery with a bit of comedy and most of all, a PLOT. This here looks like it has _nothing_ of the aforementioned anymore. That's why fandom is (justified) mad.

  • Im getting this feeling that there bullshitting us with this they piss us off lower our expectations and then they do something really awesome

  • @monstermasher93 I envy your optimism. I sadly think that his crap is the true OVA :/.

  • that episode was really messed up.

    at first there was only one pedophile in this series- DR Irie

    but in this episode the entire cast is pedophile and has the ultimate noseblled when phantasizing about Rika, the youngest of them all

    So its a tragedy all right- a quality series became gradually no more than a child pornography

  • And then a skeleton popped out.

  • :(

  • Seriously, guys. Tragedy's over, let's just move on.

  • Why must people keep saying Higurashi is about the gore?

    There were only two scenes that where actually gruesome. Rika killing herself and Sakoto's torture. Other than that, Keiichi killing Mion and Rena in the first arc and killing Teppei in the third was mostly shadows. Other than that, the first and third arc had no gore. Then all the fourth arc had was a couple of disfigured faces for half a second.

    Then Kai only had a few of them being shot. Not really gory. So stop being idiots.

  • I have no problem with it being comedic, although I would've preferred a more serious arc, but what's with all the goddamn ecchi?! That really ruins it for me. I didn't mind the fanservice jokes and stuff in the 1st season, Kai, and Rei, but now this just makes the girls look like they want to get laid or something. Disappointing...

  • Fascinating how every season is drawn better then the one before...

  • Well, this looks...different. ಠ_ಠ

  • point 1:01 : What kind of high-stakes game did Keiichi and Satoshi lose to have to endure THAT!? AND WHY IS SATOKO SMILING?!

  • what the fuck was that?!?!?! I'm going back to season one >,<

  • This ova was hilarious and all, but I really want to see an actual story to get my heart pounding. We've already been given Rei to satisfy our crack-comedy needs.

    I know "Higurashi isnt all gore, go watch the first season again if you want that"

    But it really has been a while since we've had an intense, violent episode. There must be some smaller arc from the games or manga that can be animated in a few episodes... nothing really plot-twisting, but just to satisfy us, y'know?

  • @AvaFreak873

    Animated version of some of the manga stories would have been nice.

  • The gore and the horror and so on was what made Higurashi what it was. other things such as comedy and romance were sideline stories. It seems to me like it's turned into some ecchi anime. It wasn't like that before, it was intense and to see it change from what it was into this..it's disappointing, to say the least.

  • Higurashi: The Fanfiction: The OVA

  • I watched the first one. I have to say I didnt like it. It was to much fanservice, im all for it being happier, but they had alot of fanservice, nd twincest to. *sigh*

  • When the Cicadas smoke weed

  • oooh! Does anybody have any idea when this will be released!? I wanna watch it so badly!! >w<

  • Nope, not going to stop complaining. All this pointless fanservice does nothing to advance the plot or themes or characters, and when most of the characters are teenagers or physically 9 years old, it's really creepy anyway. I'd just ignore it and leave everyone who likes to watch this to it, but when a whole new set of OVA's in one of my favourite fandoms is ...well, this, with no horror/psychological/drama to balance it out, I'm going to be pretty disappointed, and I'm going to say so. >_>

  • I wish i found these trailers before watching the first episode ;_;

  • God...

    I just finished the first ep...

    I wanna totally shoot myself...

    I said before it couldn´t be that bad

    I was UTTERLY WRONG

    F*CK DEEN

  • I like how DEEN totally created Rei AND this arc, Kira, for fanservice... yet they don't even make a season 2 for Umineko No Naku Koro Ni....

    Seriously where is the logic in all this I don't understand. -__-

  • @GoldieBombs

    I totally understand you.

  • Remember when the word "Higurashi" used struck fear into all of our hearts?

    Yeah it really changed since then...

  • XD at 1:57 to 2:02 i swear that's satoshi-kun kei-chan

  • ugh this is upsetting... Though I'll probably watch it because of Satoshi

  • Keiichi then flees the clinic and runs into a phone booth and calls Oishi in fear. Mion, Rena, Rika, and Satoko then appear all surrounding the phone booth with evil looks, and they are all wielding weapons. Keiichi screams his ass off then the phones cuts off and the camera pans the empty phone booth as Keiichi narrates. Keiichi then wakes up where the episode started beginning the new arc which continues in the next episode.

  • Okay, I just finished watching it, and wow, it really wasn't good. Now I can't say much as I don't know Japanese, but basically the first half was Keiichi, Oishi, Dr. Irie, and Tomitake in the school close to night time fantasizing about Rika, Satoko, Rena, Mion, and Ms. Takano. After that Keiichi wakes up in the Irie Clinic, and Takano and Irie and discussing what seems to be bad news about him (judging by the eerie music). Then the whole gang pops outta no where and tries to kill Keiichi.

  • This is like the first episode of Rei. Everytime something happened I thought WTF.

  • GUYS YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT SHION IS LICKING THE CREAM OFF OF.

    Trust me on this one

  • goddammit Higurashi fandom

  • *nose bleed* UNEXPECTED YAOI MOMENT. . .

  • This is just painful...

  • @engelsamy25 oh gosh im pretty sure it wont turn hentai xD

  • What's up with Satoshi and Keiichi at 01:03!?!

  • @TheHello6565-Sorry i meant

    What's up with Satoshi and Keiichi at 01:00

  • @TheHello6565

    Yaoi arc.

    Fuuu-

  • @TheHello6565 more than likely some sort of dare based on yaoi xD

  • u pplare so stupid.kira also means sun and light.-_-.thats why its called higurashi kira.-_-

  • does anyone know when it comes out

  • Yeah, because people watched higurashi for the fanservice. Not that I am surprised or anything. Rei was crappy enough xD I blame those who liked it.

    But people who watched the rei would watch anything. Not like rei had the same kind of comedy the first series had. Its just mindless fanservice. Not to mention how the character designs turned from something really exciting to what you see everywhere. Its more polished, though its boring as hell.

  • @QnWorks, the art change was great. The first season was just terrible, the characters were off model almost constantly.

  • This is an OVA. Its meant to be retarded and spunky! Haven't you guys seen Angel Beats!' OVA?

  • @DrAN0NYM0

    Implying Angel beats wasn't at time retarded and spunky.

  • OMG...seriously what reason would they have to make this all gory x.x Watch the first Higurashi if you want gore. There's no point in having this all gory filled since its an OVA and would be pretty pointless to have it. The OVA isnt gonna be long and is just like REI...comedy Yes Higurashi is a Horror Anime but its over now...so people stop complaining please >.> I like Higurashi's comedy :3 I think its hilarious...so like please...stop complaining.

  • @sweet9angel4lena

    If they can create a 20+ minute long ova about "cute" and "funny" stuff...can't they create 20+ minutes long torture scene? Or at least something very gory? Surely that would be cooler...

  • @NathanRomml Just a 20+ min gory OVA...Thats pretty pointless. Mind as well watch a different gore anime for a longer period of time. I like gore anime but I also want there to be a point to it. Im not the type of person to think blood and guts for an entire episode is awesome...I like the gore of Higurashi but I also like the funny stuff. Besides this is just an OVA, if it was another season then yes Id be pretty upset without the gore that makes Higurashi popular

  • @sweet9angel4lena

    Exactly. Just OVA. So instead of doing it about annoying fanservice cutie/yaoi/whatever stuff they could grant as something fucked up and bloody.

  • @sweet9angel4lena We're not asking for gore.

    We're just asking that deen doesn't rape Higurashi with fanservice.

  • @sweet9angel4lena Because the manga goes on past what has already been released as anime, and I'm willing to bet that the rest of that isn't all sunshine and rainbows. I like the comedy too, but that's not all it is. I just watched the first fifteen minutes or so, and it's purely sexual thus far. When you're hoping for some kind of engaging story or at least good comedic fan service and you see difficult to watch creepy pedo stuff regarding Rika, Satoko & Hanyuu instead, it's disappointing.

  • @Shimiruu You forgot to mention the awkward twincest

  • @sweet9angel4lena FUCKING THANK YOU

  • How can you people judge the whole series based on a 1 minute trailer? This is going to be a multiple episode OVA like Rei. For all you know, this could be a trap to make you think it's gonna be all cute and stuff. I sure as hell thought Higurashi was gonna be cute shit when I saw pictures and shit and Rika saying "NIPAH", and look what they did with that. Gory shit. Hopefully this will be the same way, but seriously, you guys are talking like you know the whole plot.

  • @InfomercialRemixer ... You know what, you're probably right.

  • @InfomercialRemixer kira does mean happiness so the whole OVA might not be scary...then again kira also means killer.

  • Comment removed

  • What a disappointment. They're turning a good anime into a mindless yaoi/shitoi fuck-knows-what-else anime. DEEN fucked up. I hope they all get the Hinamizawa syndrome once they watch what kind of a fuck up they made so that they can beat each other to death and claw their throats out.

  • Comment removed

  • but...butt this is a horror anime... i like ONLY watched this because it was seinen and it's storyline was amazing but this storyline looks shoujo... ugh

  • ಠ_ಠ.....WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS..?

  • Higurashi's 10th Anniversary and this is what the loyal fans get -__-. I'm still gonna watch it, but I don't think I'm gonna like it. And why the fuck did they have to put a yaoi scene in? Sure it was probably a punishment game but still...Shion and Satoshi are the most adorable couple ever :(

  • o____o;

    *speechless*

  • I love higurashi. It's my all time favorite anime... And I love moe-blobs as well.

    But this was not necessary. Where's the blood? Where's Higurashi?

    :/

  • @StalkingPantsu

    That's rape. 

  • @StalkingPantsu Now its higurashi with it's comedy. Like in Rei.

    But i hope we will see blood again 8D

  • lol it's pure ''pervyness''

  • WHYYY!? WHY STUDIO DEEN!? WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME!? WHY MUST YOU BUTCHER GOOD ANIME WITH TONS OF FUCKING FANSERVICE!?

    Jesus, at least rei was related to the franchise. This just looks like a motherfucking harem animu. Should've ended at Kai. Period.

  • Keiichi and Satoshi... CAN'T UNSEE... AAAAAAARRGGHHH

  • @SupwerCadnyBarz No.. the 2nd episode sucks just like the first one.. =.= as on the official site you see the illustration for AyakashisenshiHen with the three mahou shojou including "Oyashiro-Lolika" and as you read in the news from may 30th "Furude Rika wa mahou shojo "oyashiro loli" ni henshin suru" ç_ç but yes maybe the last 2 episodes.. *skeptical* @ThunderVermillion Yeah! It's so shameful that some people want to express their opinions! right? well I'm sorry baby but this is called freedom

  • Looking forward to Kira, after the main series they deserve a happy life full of fanservice.

  • I love how youtube works. When people see a video they don't like they won't just leave and forget what they just saw, No they have to go and rant about it in the comments believing people actually care about their opinion while actually all it does is make us pissed at the fact the video is full of childish whiners

  • @ThunderVermillion

    What would the point of comments be, if there were no negative ones?

  • @NathanRomml A place of Happiness...that actually sounds worse. To be honest looking back on my comment I believe I was being a childish whiner myself. I guess because I like higurashi I just was upset at the overall negativity in the comments.

  • @SupwerCadnyBarz They could tell other stories, like Onisarashi!! And Utsutsukowashi! Or they could simply not make anything at all!! And just let it be like it was: beautiful & ENDED.

  • This... is... gonna... be.... AMAZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING­!!!!!!

  • @SupwerCadnyBarz Who cares if it was Ryukishi, DEEN Studios, or 07th expansion to destroy Higurashi! The fact is that they changed genre... so that there's nothing left of what higurashi really is, or used to be.. So HOW CAN THEY CALL IT HIGURASHI? Just because characters are (apparently) the same and they have the same names as before? Design has changed, music has changed, character's behavior has changed. What's left? The truth is that no one wants to accept that Higurashi is already ENDED.

  • I HATE IT!!! They sold higurashi my first loved anime to creepy fanservice... guys let's boycott it... PRESS "DON'T LIKE" and DON'T WATCH THE ANIME... I won't... cause it's an affront to what higurashi used to be...

  • @GiulyXD Just be happy they atleast make another season just for us. I dont mind Im happy they got their happy ending!

  • @TheScarlettDevil

    Remilia....just let it go.

    Move to Umineko. You'll like it.

  • well, ill miss my blood @ plot but meh, It is what it is, and of the 4 atleast ONE has to have someone die

  • I can't unsee the end.

  • Well this is gonna suck except Erika Furudo is supposed to be in it and that's all I'm gonna watch it for. Umineko is way better.

  • This OVA will be interesting.

    Probably more comedic/fanservice-ish/light-h­earted than anything the show had so far.

    ...

    I still want some gore/dramatic twist in it.

    *goes back to Yosuga No Sora*

  • Cicada: *chirps, setting the creepy mood*

    ......

    ......

    UNEXPECTED SUPER HAPPY FUN TIME OPENING!!!! :D :D :D :D :D

    Cicada: -_- *facepalm*

  • the song is a little bit too happy

  • @dog1339 no is a happy lucky duchy see the trailer 2

  • More.. Higurashi? I'm a happy fanboy.

    People complaining about the fanservice? Geeze. As said, the mystery is gone. Rika's everlasting June is finished, so give the girl a happy life...

    I feel bad for Satoshi. I bet he lost a game. He wakes up from his coma, and this is what he gets?

  • Fanservice or not, i'll watch it!...they need a rest of a lot of blood and gore no? (The kids. those kids, not us xD).

  • Also, Erika is supposed to make a cameo in one of the episodes. FUCK YEAH

  • Why can't we have a fun fanservicy episode? Or OVA? Higurashi is actually really funny when it's not being scary/sad/bloody. Besides this is the PV for only the first episode, right? It might be like Rei and the middle be serious. I wouldn't mind that, I loved Rei.

  • I smell fanservice... Why Higurashi, God, WHY?

  • I am honestly excited as hell :3

  • The mystery is over. The kids have been killed over hundreds of years already. Give them a damn break. As for me, I'm excited for this OVA. This shouldn't be treated as a part of the original storyline by 07 anyway.

  • Guys guys, you need to calm down, yaoi isn't going to happen, it's just, most likely Rena's idea of a punishment game. I mean if it did happen I might kill someone.... (Is a fan of MionxKeiichi)

  • *crosses fingers*

    Please be trolling, please be trolling, please be trolling...

  • I can't wait to hear Hitler's opinion on this ;u;

  • Where I can download the two PVs of Higurashi no naku koro ni Kira in high cuality?

  • Its a good thing its called When They Cry because I AM CRYING.

  • the art is so much nicer :D

  • Yeah please somebody tell that this is joke. -_______-,

  • It's that scary horror anime... With scary things and...

    Bah, screw this.

  • 11 people aren't happy. No, no, no.

  • This looks like a bunch of rape..... wtf.....

  • Someone tell me this is a fucking joke.

    ...Please.

  • Higurashi Yaoi?! Alright, who divided by zero to make this happen?

  • @BaraYaoiManga

    Lelouch divided by zero and this happened.

  • FINALLY, SATOSHI AND KEIICHI IN THE SAME SCENE!!!!

  • They look older

  • 0:44 is Shion getting off by licking some cream?! interesting...

  • Looks like a the OVA is full of punishment XD

  • I don't care how eccentric the trailer looks. I'm going to watch the crap out of Kira.

  • O_____O

    Everytime I hear of a new season, I wonder if there will be any blood. Then I remember that they can't start over if everyone dies, again.

  • DELICIOUS LOLIS

  • ARGH. STUDIO DEEN, I AM SHOCK AND APALL. ;__;

    Yaoi. Now fucking canon. Felicitations and many happy returns, fangirls.

  • @Kittagic

    It's only cannon if the creator says that it is, but knowing R7 "the group that made this visual novel before the anime, I am sure he is just trolling for the 10 year anniversary. To be honest with you I wish that the would re-animante all of higurahsi in this newer high-quality art.

  • @alcurd666 Wow, I totally agree with you there, it'd be interesting to see that.

  • @alcurd666, just the first season. That was HORRIBLE.

  • @Kari166

    I liked kai and rei but's that me, this is just going to be a fun ova for the fans and for those who don't want to watch. don't. You don't have to pay it for like I am so why complain about something your getting for free?? I do apologize for being an ass but well, what the fuck is up with people wanting to see so much murder/killing all the time?? The plot in higurashi is solved, takiniosan was the bad guy so why not have some fun?? okay rant over.

  • @alcurd666, ...I meant the art style was horrible. (¬__¬)

  • @Kittagic

    It looks like a punishment game. A yaoi punishment game, but a punishment nevertheless..

  • @Kittagic actually, isn't taht the bitch? who planned to kill 2000+ people I mean, it didn't look like a guy

  • @CodenameBourbon Nope, it's not Takano. It's Satoshi.

  • @Kittagic what?? WHAT!!!???????????? OMG LOLI GET OUT OF THE ROOM RIGHT NOW!!!!!! but seriously why did he have such long hair?

  • @Kittagic When did DEEN create anything good regarding Higurashi/Umineko? >__>

  • LOL so satoshi is gay after all... i mean look at his face .. he blushes XD... im looking forward to the other episodes... i hope they are higurashi-like...

  • @AniruChan It's probably a punishment game for Satoshi and Keiichi.

  • As long as there's blood.

  • AWTRGFHHWURWWW WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK WAS THAT!!!!

    I feel wrong just by watching this and someone actually made this BS!!

    I sincerely hope this is the one case when the trailer is a lie. Because... this is just not right. Not the epic-story Higurashi we know and love.

  • I've come up with 3 good reasons for that yaoi moment!

    1. Punishment game

    2. Return of the Magatame

    3. he really is in love with Keiichi o.O

  • SATOSHI!

    THAT MEANS HE MEETS KEIICHI!

    THAT MEAN HE RETURNS!

  • @AmyRoseAisha So you got that, good. This isn't a new scenario, it's what will happen after episode 24 of Kai, and all of Kira. The next arcs however, only time will tell til January.

  • KKKKKYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! I LOVE SATOSHI AND KEIICHI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I knew satoshi was gay from the start :L

  • @PureCX poor shion XD

  • @ddrstandard2008

    I know :(

    She's gonna be gutted ahah

  • Well....ummm....it's higurashi...so...I'm sure it's good....WAIT! Please tell me that wasn't satoshi T.T

  • @spellxboundxdreamer

    he...is...

    aww yeah...

  • Well um...any Higurashi is good Higurashi.

  • Looks like Rei all over again...
