Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai

[Ushiromiya Maria]

My favorite anime at the moment. I can't wait for Episode 3 of Rei. I got spoilered for Rei though, stupid Wikipedia. ;___;..

[MarthX7]

Wiki doesn't give a damn about keeping spoilers marked. They will put them out in the open.

I know right. ;__;.

Anyway, what's your favorite character?

[JTExecutor]

I forget if I already said this, but Rei's first storyline been translated in the visual novel.

That way, you won't have to be spoiled...

[lemontea]

I love this series so far. (I'm on the second season) I look forward to watching every episode to find out more about the mystery of Higurashi:wtf and the violence is awesome :awesome

I know the visual novel's first storyline has been translated, I don't feel like downloading the visual novel, though. I'm playing Umineko no Naku Koro ni at the moment.

[JTExecutor]

Ah. Well, when you're done, you can.

I would've thought you were done based on your sig. You have Sakutaro in there.

[Seronei]

RAW (http://www.nyaatorrents.org/?page=torrentinfo&tid=65621) out for episode 3. Still I guess it will take ~2 weeks until any subs get out :(

I laughed my ass off when Rika threw that chair on Satoko :lmao Then she kept beating her with the chair over and over, I've never expected Rika to be so vicious :lmao

Serves Satoko right :del

[Ema Skye]

Rika now has to kill her mother to return to the original world (I had a feeling that would happen when Hanyuu was talking about the fragment being a person) :argh

Keiichi returns in the next episode :iria

[TadloS]

Lol, I loved this episode. Especially scene where Rika beeting hell crap out of Satoko. I lol'd. xD And liked each conversation in this episode + all soundtracks fitted atmosphere/scene very well. Bah, need to download Higurashi OST argh.

[RetroElectro]

When Rika was telling the doctor her story, I knew it wouldn't go well. In his eyes, she's only a child. A child who's probably making up stories to feel special, so she won't feel alone now that her friends have moved away. A comfort, away from Satako. I could see where he was coming from, and I understood why he rang Rika's mother.

But still, Rika, and us viewers, still felt betrayed all the same.

And oh lawd, Rika with the chair. :lmao

I half expected to see blood. And I'm surprised Satoshi didn't react so much to it. He goes to, understandable extremes when the uncle abuses her, but when it's a fellow classmate who bashes her repeatedly with a chair, he asks her to be his friend. Different circumstances, I know, but still.

[dspr8_rugged]

Nobody fucking messes with Chair-chan.

[Seronei]

Awesome episode. Can't wait until next one...
I wonder if Rika will kill her mom. (psst don't answer if you know :P)

[Proman]

Glad that there was finally a subbed version of this. Though the part where Mion, Satoshi, and Reina were talking to Rika took so long that i actually got bored. From the next episode preview it doesn't look like Rika kills her mom but she dies and she gets back to the original world.

[Kira Yamato]

I waited until the 3rd OVA was subbed by WinD (AVI versions) before starting to watch the OVAs and the 1st OVA was pretty entertaining even if they did have to do with Keiichi's swim trunks. It was way over the top but gave me a good laugh.

*will probably watch OVA 2 & 3 tomorrow*

[Sawako]

Wow, good episode. I love the bit where Rika beat up Satoko with a chair. I was surprised that happened, since Satoko has been Rika's best friend for hundreds of years now, by Rika's perspective. I never expected her to snap like that.

Poor Rika has to kill her mom. :( I wonder how that will go through.

[Kira Yamato]

Wow, talk about a mind fuck. Rika got thrown into a world where everything has completely changed.

Although I kind of blame her for taking the unnecessary risk in getting herself killed in her previous world. I wonder which world will Rika end up choosing now that she knows where the fragment is hiding?

[The Cheat]

I'm currenly watching the first series but I heard that the sceond series contains scientific explanations for everything that happens.

[Proman]

Yeah in the 2nd series they explain why it like starts over and they finally get somewhere.

[Sawako]

Oh yeah, one more thought about the third OVA: What is wrong with this school? The school doctor calls Rika's mom because of something Rika said, which could be imaginary as far as he knows, and no one calls Rika's mom because Rika beat up Satoko with a chair?

Perhaps the school probably chalked it up to a typical kid fight. The doctor on the other hand probably found that long thought out explanation of Rikas' to be a bit too detailed and most likely thought it was a bit disturbing if she were having such grand delusions.

In any case violence always takes a back seat to mental and emotional issues. xDD

It's probably why people will cry bloody murder at a sex scene but fine when someone head's blown off. And thinking about this series that's probably a more likely outcome.

[Vino]

One of the craziest Higurashi MAD I've ever seen:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tViQJut-1U

They even sing Haruhi songs :lmao

[RetroElectro]

^ Yeah, there's a few other Nico Nico ones like that. Like with the cast of Haruhi and Code Geass, amongst others.

I enjoy this series for the mindfucks and watching people act insane.

[Revan21]

So the last OVA will be a stand-alone story, right? :)

So it was all a dream? bummer, I wanted to see her killing her and shit, and most of the episode was blablablabla and I was bored to death :(


Really big spoiler

I thought they were going to animate the part where Hanyuu dies next OVA, bummer :(

[Revan21]

Yeah, I was expecting more of a bloodshed, like Rika killing her mother. Yet there were no thrilling scene whatsoever in this one
Oh, well. The lesson has been learned, nice conclusion to a great series smile-big

I wonder what the last OVA will be about :amuse

[The Cheat]

IS kai good as the first one?

[Revan21]

IS kai good as the first one?

It's different.
The first season focused on the personal issues of the characters, that always led them to some gruesome killings and deaths.
These personal issues are solved and the situation is explained right at the beginning of the second season and after that they focus on defeating a common enemy (and to survive together). So it's not that bloody (yet there's still plenty of violence, especially around Satoko) they concenrate more on solving the mystery.

IMHO it's a bit weaker than the first season - maybe because I liked the murders better than the mystery-solving part

No, it wasn't a dream. That world did exist and Rika did kill her own mother to return to the old world but Hanyuu wants Rika to think of it as a dream. A dream that she showed Rika to be mean.

YEah I really enjoyed the murders.

[Quagles]

Bleh what a disappointment with the 4th OVA :/ Left out all the goodies, much weaker than kai and original series.

[Random Member]

Really dialogue heavy episode this time around.

I was hoping to see Rika tear her MILF of a mom to shreds. :(

Looks like next OVA is all about a horny Rena. :awesome

[TadloS]

Bah, disappointing episode. I expected a lot of blood. :ho But no, I didn't get even tiny bit. :pek

Anyway, this Rei OVA doesn't live up to all hype that original series earned. But still I'm being a Higurashi tard and will give to this OVA 8/10. Next episode is just random, so I'm rating from early.

Lol, I'm already planning to rewatch Higurashi two seasons. :LOS

[Sawako]

This episode was more dialogue-heavy than I would have liked, but it was still a decent episode. At least we got closure on it, and Rika learned a good lesson.

[Kira Yamato]

Wow, quite a bit philosophical discussion going there :S

I wanted to see exactly how Rika chose her world. I refuse to believe it was just a dream Hanyuu created to teach Rika a valuable lesson. I can understand that world in fact became a dream after Rika made her decision but everything leading up to that point seemed as if she did in fact go into that clean world and needed to make a definite decision as to which one she wanted.

As Marth said in the previous reply, it wasn't a dream. Rika really did kill her mother. Hanyuu only told her it was a dream and teach her a lesson.

Yeah, I pretty much knew that. I guess my post was kind muddled. I wasn't being actually being literal when I said, I couldn't believe it was a dream. But it might as well be from a human perspective, if Rika wants stops playing the role of a semi-god.

After Saikoroshi-hen comes Miotsukushi-hen. Unfortunately I doubt Deen will animate this last one, and it's a shame because...

All the remaining misteries such as the end of Watanagashi-hen (behold the zombie girl, MWAHAHAHAHA!!) to give a example, are solved. And what's more, finally Lambdadelta shows up and confronts Berkanstel and the Hinamizawa gang in the most epic fight of Higurashi.

Miotsukushi is an alternative version of Matsuribayashi. Miotsukushi also wasn't written by Ryukishi07 so Matsuribayashi + Saikoroshi is the canon ending.

[Deva_Emperor]

Miotsukushi is an alternative version of Matsuribayashi. Miotsukushi also wasn't written by Ryukishi07 so Matsuribayashi + Saikoroshi is the canon ending.

You should check more info if you're not sure:

The chapter name "Miotsukushi" is a pun of Mio-tsu-kushi (or traditionally Miwo-tsu-kushi) (澪標, canal sign?) and Mi wo tsukushi (身を尽(く)し, Mi wo tsukushi?), a conjugation form of Mi wo tsukusu (身を尽くす, serve one's body?). This pun is very famous in Japanese poetry such as Haiku.
After finding out who the real murderer is, Rika and Keiichi decide to put an end to the whole mystery, but they are in a different situation than Matsuribayashi-hen. Before they can do anything, they have to solve other people's problems first. The problems of Watanagashi/Meakashi-hen, Tatarigoroshi-hen, and Tsumihoroboshi-hen are met here and all of them must be solved. While Matsuribayashi-hen is the epilogue of PC-port games, it is considered to be the "Good End" of the series. According to the original author, Miotsukushi-hen should be considered the true end of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni.

By "original author" it means Ryukishi07. Alchemist would be unable to make such arc full of epicness.

Also in case you don't know...

In Miotsukushi-hen it's Lambdadelta who rewinds time, with the sole purpose of annihilate everyone and defeat Berkanstel.

[MarthX7]

Funny thing, there's no proof of that true end line ever being said. I'm not sure where it originated from but it's spread like wildfire.

[Deva_Emperor]

Funny thing, there's no proof of that true end line ever being said. I'm not sure where it originated from but it's spread like wildfire.

Even in wikipedia. Also, 07th Expansion were involved in the additional console editions, which confirms Ryukishi wrote the script for the new arcs and the true ending. But I already knew it, because as I already said, Alchemist would be unable to make this by themselves. The involvement is further emphasized in 07th Expansion's website.

[The Cheat]

How good is the ova?

[Deva_Emperor]

How good is the ova?

Better than the 2nd season at least.

[The Cheat]

How shitty was season 2?

[JTExecutor]

Season 2 was the best one, though the manga all the way through owns ever season in every aspect.

[MarthX7]

It's hard to compare season one and two. Despite being the same anime, they're very different from each other. You can criticize the first for being too random, too repetitive and relying too much on shock value; You can criticize the second for being too slow, no suspense and not having enough violence. Rei, the OVAs are more of season two's style. If you want more of season one's style then read or wait for Umineko.

[The Cheat]

Fucked, I loved the shock value of season 1. The insanity of the characters and the killings were my favroite part. I especially love shion's evil laugh.

Of course the manga owns, cause it tells the story exactly as it's in the original novels. Ryukishi07 is the writer and many ilustrators draw each arc.

But to be fair, the second season started good, Minagoroshi-hen was fine, but then it came Matsuribayashi-hen and, what the hell, excluding the beggining that was a fucking filler.

And though first season was the best, there were many things modified and/or omitted.

If someone hasn't begin to read the manga yet, I recomend to do it now. It's epic, truly a masterwork. Currently I'm reading Watanagashi-hen (up to chapter 7). The differences with the anime are abismal.

No, no, I didn't mean the first arc but Matsuribayashi. Except the beggining with Takano's past and all, the rest is not how the real arc it is. If you want to know how that arc is in reality you should either play the game or read the manga (currently 11 chapters published). DEEN ruined the last arc of Kai. For example, in the real Matsuribayashi-hen...

The Matsuribayashi pieces are not filler. They are part of the game and you had to put them all in order to advance to the final world.

And no, Lambdadelta does not appear in Higurashi. I don't know where you heard that from but it's wrong.

In Matsuribayashi Satoshi dies. I don't remember have seen that in the anime. However, in Miotsukushi-hen, it is revealed that Doctor Irie put him under heavy sedation in the underground parts of the clinic.

And when I said Lambdadelta appears, I mean as a younger Takano, of course.

Frederika too makes her first entrance in the plot at the beggining of Minagoroshi. Check it by yourself:

http://www.onemanga.com/Higurashi_no_Naku_Koro_ni_-_Minagoroshi/1/10/

Who are you going to trust more? Deen or Ryukishi07:)

Satoshi doesn't die in Matsuribayashi. He's in a coma.

Miyoko and Lambdadelta look the same but they aren't the same person.

I know the Frederica part from Minagoroshi because I've read it. The first 7 chapters of the Minagoroshi visual novel was translated.

My bad, I misunderstood coma with death. Still, a post-Matsuribayashi-hen arc called Kokoroyashi-hen, written by Ryukushi too (all the arcs were written by him), reveals Satoshi didn't awake from his comatose state yet.

As for Lambdadelta, I know they aren't the same, but she and Frederika live as Miyoko and Rika in Hinamizawa

I watched the anime, and though lots of things were modified and/or omitted I enjoyed it...

...until I checked some pages of the true end of Watanagashi and how the whole scene really happens. It was then when Deen ruined the anime adaptation for me, and the height of stupidity came when they omitted the epilogue of Tatarigoroshi where the entire village is annihilated and Keiichi goes mad (man, that interviewer might be really scared).

[MarthX7]

Well yeah. The first season had A LOT of material cut because they tried to squeeze 6 games into 26 episodes. The second season was a much more faithful adaption. It still had cuts but not nearly as much.

Last episode was EPIC.
To bad you didn't get to see when she killed her mom.

Poor Rika. :cry

[Seronei]

Holy crap! Looks like the Higurashi VN will be localized for the English audience. Will apparently be out by fall. (http://novelnews.net/2009/07/02/mangagamer-announces-plans-for-higurashi/)

I'm sitting here with a big grin on my face. :)

[RetroElectro]

Mmm, I'm conflicted about what I feel.

I'd rather have the Alchemist DS remakes, than the original doujin games on my computer.

[Seronei]

Mmm, I'm conflicted about what I feel.

I'd rather have the Alchemist DS remakes, than the original doujin games on my computer.

Same, better art and I much rather read on my DS than on my computer.

But I guess it's cheaper to translate the PC novel.

[JTExecutor]

I want the DS games and PS2 games so much... Extra arcs and better graphics ftw!

[RetroElectro]

http://lh5.ggpht.com/_YzDIRWtvZRU/RaVs6L5v8-I/AAAAAAAAAEA/QW9AQcOjMMg/s1600/higu_matsuri_usoda.jpg

http://2disbetterthan3d.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/higurashi131.jpg

They were remade for a reason.

Also, licensing the computer games might make people think twice about buying them. For example, if I heard the game was licensed for the DS, I'd definitley buy it. But, hearing that we're getting a PC version doesn't fill me with the same eagerness.

[Tomochii-Chan]

I know I'm REEEEALLY late in watching this series...but i started to pick it up again since I was too lazy last time to finish it.

But......WTF IS GOING ON!?!?! :argh I'm on episode 4 in the first season...now...NOW...
*claws neck*
NAAARGHH :argh

[TadloS]

^Ha,ha I loved that first arc. ;33

[Tomochii-Chan]

Holycrap the ending of episode 8 friggin gave me a heart attack :argh
This show isn't good for my heart...

Btw, in the beginning of the second arc, what was the point of Rika hitting her head with a knife?

And how many different arcs are there in the first season? So these different arcs are just...like different stories that revolve around the Wata...w/e festival?

[Seronei]

Btw, in the beginning of the second arc, what was the point of Rika hitting her head with a knife?

It's not even in that arc, I have no idea why Studio DEEN put that there.

And it's 6 different arcs but one of the arcs are only 2 episodes. I don't really think I should spoil what the arcs are about. But if you really want to know It's pretty much only around Watanagashi, but it's not always the same year. Also they're connected.

[RetroElectro]

It has nothing to do with that arc, I think.

If my memory serves me right, it's because she didn't want to give Shion the satisfaction of killing her herself, so she chose to take her own life.

I wouldn't click that if I were you, it would spoil nearly two arcs.

:hurr

[Tomochii-Chan]

...
:argh

Damn I'll just ask questions after everything I guess :D:

*so much temptation..*

[Vegitto-kun]

NAAARGHH :argh

Welcome to the village :ho

Enjoy your stay

[QBnoYouko]

Lol, Tomo-chan. Looks like she just got Onikakushi'd.

I love it when the newcomers react to 4 and 5.

[Deva_Emperor]

This is nothing. Once you begin to read the manga and see how everything happens in reality, you'll be ten times scared:ho

To give you some example, my favourite moment from Onikakushi-hen:

http://media.onemanga.com/mangas/00000563/000028030/30-31.jpg

You're warned:LOS

[QBnoYouko]

Yeah, when i flipped the pages in Yen Plus it scared the shit outta me, but it's still amazing.

[Vegitto-kun]

I still remember when I just joined the village

people found it fun to treat me like a outsider about to be the next victim

[Deva_Emperor]

Yeah, when i flipped the pages in Yen Plus it scared the shit outta me, but it's still amazing.

That scared me a bit too. But if there's something that made me almost shit in my pants was this:

http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/8445/1240ab8.jpg

http://img54.imageshack.us/img54/4371/124243zr8.jpg

From the true end of Watanagashi-hen, also known as the attack of the "zombie girl", because there she's a zombie, just take a good look at her face and movements, plus the add of the ripped and half-ripped nails, eww...

Scenes like that is what makes the manga full of epic. Also it's the only way to read the story as it's in the games (cos it's written by Ryukishi himself).

[Vegitto-kun]

I really need to rewatch the series

I have forgotten so many plot holes that it aint funny

Thank god for my premium Megaupload account. For reals. Almost done downloading the first season in under an hour.

[Seronei]

Just finished watching the 2 last arcs of the first season... again. Damn, they're good, so sad yet so awesome.

I didn't even bother seeing the rest of the manga scans posted :D: :D: :D:
I only saw the first one...

damn & it's late at night too :sag I thought going on the computer would make me at least a little tired...now I'm gonna have nightmares..

Fuck.
Right before I go to bed is a terrible time to check out this anime.

My friend bought that volume, I wanted to check it out, I took it in my hands, opened random page and HOLLY SHIT! WTF! THIS IS MAD!


I still remember my first time watching the anime series... I downloaded 4 episodes and my interent died somehow. So friend and I decided to watch those 4 episodes in one go.

I never cursed my internet as much as I did in that moment.

Hmm... I would say you did good, but if you change your mind I recomend check those two scans in the morning, because if you do in the night, then you'll probably have nightmares wondering if there's a zombie under your bed ready to crawl when you less expect.

Yeah, I've made a brief description of the content of those two other scans:LOS

Have a nice day

[Vegitto-kun]

In the beginning I noticed I have a H-syndrome look when im totally pissed off :ho

[RetroElectro]

In regards to the Higurashi game being licensed, the plan is to release two sets with four arcs each (so question arcs, and then answer arcs). Also, I've heard that the company doesn't have psychical releases, but download only. If the original doujin game being licensed didn't put me off enough, this surely has. What's the point, when the game is being translated, anyway? Even if it's at a snail's pace.

[Vegitto-kun]

Oh wel just makes it easier to download then :ho


and nipaa >> uu-uuu :gar

[Kumoriken]

I'm hoping for no spoilers, but...
I've just started watching this series, I'm on ep. 10 of the first season and it seems to just be repeating itself in different ways. It's like I'm watching the same thing over and over, and I know what's gonna happen.
Does it get any better? Does it start to change up? What should keep me interested?

[Vegitto-kun]

just keep watching it. everything will be explained in kai


and <333 satoko

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1CcnItB_cw

[Kumoriken]

just keep watching it. everything will be explained in kai

So I have to watch the same story five or six times in different aspects to get some answers to everything in the next season? ._.;

[JTExecutor]

Same story? Every time there's a new saga, there's a new villain. Am I missing something?

[Kumoriken]

Same story? Every time there's a new saga, there's a new villain. Am I missing something?

It's just lost its entertainment value. "WHAT, A CURSE? AND A BOY? LIKE ME, YOU SAY? MURDERS? Explain this to me for the next two episodes, 'cause in this alternate universe I've yet to hear about it."
Then it all plays out almost exactly the same 'til the conclusion, which is different. It just always adds little details to the same story to change them up. Just explaining everything over and over is making me uninterested. I'm gonna keep watching, but it's getting a bit meh. I want some answers already. >_>

[JTExecutor]

I wasn't really a Higurashi fan until season two. That's when the real answers for why everything repeats over and over again. But IMO, the ride there is still pretty good. Especially the fifth and sixth sagas.

[Amatsu]

So I have to watch the same story five or six times in different aspects to get some answers to everything in the next season? ._.;

It's never really the same story, but you'll see.

I think you're giving up on it too easily.

[MarthX7]

The early arcs are about focusing on different characters to give them more depth while also providing more information to the overall story.

Onikakushi: Introduction and Rena
Watanagashi: Mion and the Watanagashi festival
Tatarigoroshi: Satoko and...
Himatsubushi: Rika and...

Higurashi is part mystery. Part of the fun is taking everything you learn and trying to figure out the answers before it tells you. Episode 16 starts the answer arcs, where you'll start getting answers. But it's not until the second season that you get the big ones.

[JTExecutor]

If you compressed Higurashi into a small period of time, you'd get House of Flying Daggers-esque storytelling, and that'd just be silly.

God just stop watching, you're obviously too impatient to enjoy the anime without spoilers.

OYASHIRO-SAMA WILL STEAL ALL THE HERETIC'S CREAM PUFFS!

[Vegitto-kun]

I bought the 3 released manga volumes

is oyashiro-sama pleased? :ho

You will get your answers in 2nd season. Just be a bit patient. :wink

Imo, Higurashi is one of the best anime which I've seen. It's on my top 5. :ho

Not yet, you lack a fourth volume:ho

that comes out in september

I already preordered

[Kumoriken]

So I just finished the first season, downloaded the first five ep.'s of Kai from the first post in the thread, but are those the only MegaUpload links for the series? Anyone have the rest?

Thanks, but these are the ones posted on the first post. They're without subs.
I'm looking for DDL links for the rest of Ayu's subbed episodes.

[MarthX7]

Hauu's releases do have subs. Sounds like you're using a bad video player that doesn't work well with soft subs. I recommend using CCCP+MPC

Ahh, that might be the problem.
I'm on a Mac, though. Usually VLC can use soft subs, but I dunno why it can't now... Hm.
If no one can think of players for Mac to play these, I'll try and find one on my own.
Thanks.

[Vegitto-kun]

I use VLC on my mac and I don't seem to have any problems

[MarthX7]

Maybe he's using an old version.

[Seronei]

Gief, would have bought them already if it weren't for all the good games released this fall. :/

[RetroElectro]

Good games including the actual Higurashi games, of course? :hehee

Good? With Mangagamer? HAHAHAHA-

[Vegitto-kun]

well its good that ryukishi said that fan translations are allowed so horray people are working on higurashi again

actually what has been released already?

[Seronei]

Good games including the actual Higurashi games, of course? :hehee

Good? With Mangagamer? HAHAHAHA-
Of course, and I've heard that Mangagamer have gotten better lately.

Bah, getting an urge to buy http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51gBvSCu5SL._SS500_.jpg now... :cry The box is so sex, unfortunately Amazon refuses to ship as a gift so I get to pay extra taxes bleh.

[Vegitto-kun]

huh what is that?

[Seronei]

huh what is that?

Whole first season on DVD.

[Seronei]

Thought I would share this here, Chapter 1 of the Tsumiboroshi-hen manga has been scanlated by WTDND.

[Broleta]

Calling it "When They Cry" is a bit dumb on the American's part since you'd have to call Umineko the same thing.

[JTExecutor]

Watch we'll be seeing When They Cry 3 Season 1 and then the peoples will be confused.

[syrup]

Wish it was possible to buy the series (and other anime) subbed :(

[Seronei]

Wish it was possible to buy the series (and other anime) subbed :(

You can do that, only first season though. Dual Audio with subs and dub.

[Kanae]

:hmm

When are we supposed to get the last OVA?

[Diarrhea]

^I was wondering that, too.:hmm
But it's mainly about Rena so I'm not really excited.

[Kanae]

^:lmao I feel you. I'm actually looking forward to it, mainly because I'm hoping that they'll animate the ending of the K1xMion route from the game ;33

[MarthX7]

Rei 5 comes out in 5 days.

[Kanae]

Thanks for the info :quite

[Vegitto-kun]

I want full translates games damnit

[Diarrhea]

^YOU SEEM TO LIKE TYPING IN CAPS LOCK, DON'T YOU?

But yeah, I want them, too! Damnit!:C

[RetroElectro]

Soon Vegitto, soon. The first is supposed to be released before Christmas, anyway. Just wish we got actual physical releases. That would encourage me to actually buy them, instead of just torrenting.

Diarrhea, I want to rep you for that set, but you seem to want a neg instead. Which would you prefer? :lmao

[RetroElectro]

Shall do. :hurr

Also, apparently mangagamer's translations for Higurashi are the best that they've done. Which is excellent, considering their typos and spelling errors are rather infamous at this stage. I think they realise that Higurashi is a title that might actually sell outside of the eroge market, so they're pulling their proverbial socks up.

YOU BIG FAT MEANIE!:C

[RetroElectro]

From an IRC chat with one of the main translators, Evospace. He said that it's their best yet, in terms of translation. The thread itself is on /jp/'s archive, along with the chat, but the archive is working rather slowly for me right now. I'll post the exact chat when it's working properly.

Oh wait, you wanted a pos? Oh dear, sorry, hah. I'll rep you properly once I spread.

[16:55] <dan88> How is the translation of Higurashi going so far?
[16:56] <EvoSpace> the first chapter is already translated and edited
[16:57] <dan88> Is the editing going well, or lots of typos making it through?
[16:58] <EvoSpace> I personally thought the English grammer is better than the Sonzaki's version
[16:58] <EvoSpace> now its just the choices of special terms...
[16:59] <dan88> <EvoSpace> I personally thought the English grammer is better than the Sonzaki's version<---awesome if true
[17:00] <dan88> better quality then the KiraKira translation?
[17:00] <EvoSpace> right
[17:00] <dan88> nice
[17:00] <EvoSpace> higurashi > shuffle > kirakira in terms of translation XD

[x] (http://archive.easymodo.net/cgi-board.pl/jp/thread/3003617#3004602)

That's a good sign, anyway. I got Kirakira, but the grammar and spelling were horrible, to be honest. Rather Engrishy, and it totally took the fun out of playing it. It was like the feel of the game wasn't translated. People have been saying that Shuffle's translation is excellent so far, so hearing that Higurashi surpasses it in terms of translation is really good news.

More parts about Higurashi from the chat;

[16:24] <EvoSpace> I'm actually more concerned about higurashi right now tho
[16:24] <EvoSpace> did you guys hear about that rumor?
[16:24] <VDZ> What rumor?
[16:24] <EvoSpace> that email between someone and the higurashi creator('s company)
[16:24] <VDZ> You mean between the twins and Ryukishi?
[16:24] <VDZ> That they got official permission?
[16:26] <VDZ> Huh...I'm sure that if that was true, 07th Expansion would've noticed by now
[16:27] <Azurite> Where did that rumour come from?
[16:27] <VDZ> I'm sure that some angry fans will have sent letters to 07th Expansion about you stopping the fan translation of Higurashi
[16:27] <EvoSpace> right
[16:28] <EvoSpace> so I wonder if this email in question was forged by the fans of the sonozaki sisters XD

[16:28] <VDZ> About Higurashi...you port all games you release to your own engine, right? So Higurashi won't be ONScripter anymore?
[16:29] <EvoSpace> VDZ: I believe so
[16:30] <VDZ> You're not planning to store the game music in the game folder in unarchived format, like 07th Expansion does, are you?
[16:30] <EvoSpace> no idea about that

[16:49] <EvoSpace> They did hire another proofreader for Higurashi though
[16:49] <EvoSpace> other than sonozaki

In case some of you didn't know, the 'Sonozaki twins' are actually a pair of real life twins, who were (rather slowly) translating (http://sonozakifutagotachi.blogspot.com/) the Higurashi games.

This episode was great IMHO.
Rika-chan'ss story in the middle was pretty boring but b/c of the first and the last OVAs I'll give this "season" a 7/10

Make sure you get the BluRayRips of the OVAs smile-big

God, I despise saimoe. The same type of idiots vote for the same characters. I purposely vote for the underdog, just to piss people off.

[Kanae]

Hey everyone, I made an AMV. A tribute for my favorite pairing K1xMion, but true Higurashi Style. Or at least, that's what I'm hoping :hehee

Please do take a look at the storyline before watching, because the video might me confusing :argh

STORYLINE

After Shion lets Keiichi know that Mion likes him, he does some thinking and realizes that he likes her too. They get together afterwards, but to Keiichi's horror, Mion is spending too much time with Satoshi, who has woken up. The paranoia hits him full-force, and he fails to notice that all along, the one with Satoshi wasn't Mion, but Shion. Mion and Keiichi start having issues because Keiichi just doesn't trust her anymore, and the paranoia takes over him and he ends up murdering Satoshi.

Shion, after Satoshi goes missing, is hit by the paranoia herself, and she blames the Sonozaki family for what happened, especially Mion, and kills her. She then proceeds to pretend she was her, and tries to kill Keiichi as well, for she lost Satoshi and it's only fair that her sister lost her loved one, too. Keiichi realizes what has happened, and the mistake he made, and he's crushed. Out of vengeance and pain for Mion's unfair death, Keiichi kills Shion.

And at the end, he's completely overwhelmed by the disease and ends up tearing his own throath.

So no happy endings here Rika, I'm sorry.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ym8YP8dpmHM

I hope it's not that bad.

[Diarrhea]

Where's the sub?
It's been quite a while since the RAW came out.

[Eldritch Gall]

I've been wondering about that too

Although I've only caught up today :hurr I marathoned the first 2 seasons in 2 days

[Seronei]

:wtf Ordered the whole first season on DVD yesterday :wtf

WinD is atleast working on it, but they're usually pretty slow so we might have to wait 1 week more :cry

[dspr8_rugged]

God, I despise saimoe. The same type of idiots vote for the same characters. I purposely vote for the underdog, just to piss people off.
The only time I got involved with Saimoe was in 2008, and I don't even have to tell you who won that year. :hehee

Seriously, that was the time where people in this thread really came together as one, like the village of Hinamizawa and fought against fate of the internetz. I mean, I can't forget how the Higurashi fandom was hated after Rena unexpectedly defeated Kagami (and it doesn't matter what everybody said at the time), and Rika just rode easily to win it all. And it all happened when Higurashi became NF's Anime of the Month. Ah yes... I remember those days.

And yes, after that year, I couldn't care less about Saimoe.

[RetroElectro]

Instead of an October release for the games, the release date has been pushed back towards the end of November. Not surprising, really. MG have a habit of doing that. As long as this will ensure the best possible quality, I don't mind.

[Anybody]

So no subs for the last rei episode?

I am dissapoint

[Revan21]

Still no subs for the final OVA, huh?


The fuck? That was the whole point of the OVA and it was awesome :para

Precisely!
And it really sucked! Just some stupid bullsh*t chit-chat about one's place in the world and that's about it.
No blood, no horror, it wasn't Higurashi at all! :cry

[MarthX7]

Shouldn't be much longer for Rei 5 subs.

They should be out within 24 hours. Maybe 12 if we're lucky.

Sort of funny but it was completely random, kind of like a one episode naruto filler

Lol @ the Maria sama reference

And the mahjong battle was a nice touch :thumbs

[RetroElectro]

T'was rather silly, and I was expecting that. A lot of people are bitching about the fifth episode in the MAL discussions saying that it wasn't 'like Higurashi at all. With no blood, no gore', and are comparing it to the original series, and Kai. It's a rather pointless thing to do, considering Rei is separated from the main story, and was for the fans. My favourite bit was towards the end, where Rena told Keiichi that she loved him. So sweet.

[Vegitto-kun]

She still didn't kiss him though :(

[RamzaBeoulve]

NO

Why am I not surprised hearing the same comments as when the first OVA came out? :amuse

Even though I admit that I was expecting to see Rika go on a rampage in Saikoroshi-hen, but it never happened. :hehee

My favourite bit was towards the end, where Rena told Keiichi that she loved him. So sweet.
Just what you said, Rei was made for fans. At least this episode was for the Rena X Keiichi shippers. That's all there is to it.

[Eldritch Gall]

NO
Just no.
Please don't compare apples with oranges.

I suppose comparing it to a naruto filler was too far. Fine, any other generic anime filler. How is the setup any different?

A sudden and random anime problem has occurred. Main char and friends go to solve the problem whilst running into other random/funny shenanigans

Although yes, I have stated there's little room for more blood/horror elements, it doesn't excuse how random the first and last episodes of Rei were. Why add them in the first place? It was as if they were trying to parody themselves with this last episode. "USO LOL"

I give the first and second season 8.5-9/10, this 5/10 at best.


this isn't filler shut up

:amazed

[dspr8_rugged]

Higurashi ended in Kai for me. Rei is just a "nice-to-have" thing. It's not necessary as you can skip it entirely, but being a fan, I just had to see it for the heck of it.

Suffice to say, the shenanigans of the first and last OVA are acceptable to me, at least. It made me laugh at parts, and it's nothing to take seriously.

[Seronei]

Got the first season on DVD today. :D First manga/anime related thing I've bought, I feel so proud...

If anyone wants any shitty pics of the box just say so.

[Diarrhea]

Finally watched the fifth OVA and it wasn't as bad as I imagined it to be. The forced fanservice was lame, though.
Rena wasn't nearly as annoying as I'm used to and I even found the Keiichi/Rena pairing pretty nice.

[okita]

Loved the last Rei OVA.

Rena :hurr

[RetroElectro]

I had another look at the Mangagamer site, and they still plan to release Higurashi by the end of November. They're also planning to release Kai around December, but it'll probably be pushed back.

[Ralphy♥]

I have no long winded post for this, I watched the first three episodes of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni and here was the expression on my face.Death Loli's :wha-As of episode 8

Just finished watching episode eight, it was possibly the first time I ever felt scared during an anime watch. The ending actually made me flinch, it's possible that the atmosphere in my room is adding to the suspense, right now it's pitch dark. The series has still been fairly random and droll, but oddly enjoyable.

[dspr8_rugged]

It's never too late to be a follower of Oyashiro-sama. Just make sure you have sweets as offering so that you won't get cursed. :hehee

[Deva_Emperor]

Brrrr, that terrifying ending of Watanagashi-hen, the Sonozaki Zombie... Everytime I remember that, it gives me nightmares. That part, between the anime and the original (novel and manga) there's no point of comparison. It's a million times scarier in the later.

I just watched Higurashi no Koro ni episode 17 and I can't believe what I just saw. That fingernail scene was just disturbing to the point where I had to cringe and turn away, or maybe I'm just a softy like that.Fingernails Wtf, I'm sorry but bitches be crazy :uwah

[RetroElectro]

According to Mangagamer's forums, somebody actually emailed them asking why they didn't mention anything about Higurashi on the main page. The answer was that they wanted to avoid putting up a game on the website (and give it a release date) until they have a solid release date scheduled, to avoid repeats of the problems from multiple games last year (released for a day/many postponements/etc).

And apparently, Higurashi has been pushed back to December. Not really surprising.

[Ralphy♥]

Does anyone have Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai DVD ripped megaupload links, or even a decent torrent? I started watching and couldn't help but notice how low the video quality was in the first episode, I take it their standard TV rips. This series has been out for a while so I thought the links I wanted wouldn't be to hard to find but apparently I can't find anything of decent quality.

[QBnoYouko]

Apparently Akasaka is a night ninja that occasionally stunt doubles for Jackie Chan, I had to laugh at the random Kung Fu moves he pulled in episode 22. Since when was this guy a black belt in karate. This series is forever dubbed Higurashi: Akasaka's way of the fist :lmao

Wooo :) Can't wait to watch the last episode.

[Ema Skye]

There was one thing in the first season of Higurashi I've always been confused about. Keiichi before he ever moved to Hinamizawa started shooting kids with BB guns. Did he actually injured the kids with the BB guns or was Keiichi just fooling around? (Sorry if the question sounds stupid but I don't really know that much when it comes to guns)

Unless he went for the eyes, I doubt it. Most BB guns don't do anything more than sting.

He shot a little girl in the eye who went blind. Keiichi's dad paid consolation money and they moved to Hinamizawa so none would know what he had done.

[okita]

So, I went to re-watch Higurashi no Naku Koro ni :iik Forgot about the needle bit.

[Ema Skye]

Now it makes sense, thanks Seronei and Severnaruto

[RetroElectro]

We've finally been given a date for the question arcs, which is the 15th of December. Answer arcs are expected to come during the first part of 2010.

[JTExecutor]

Here's to hoping good translation.

[RetroElectro]

Same. As I mentioned a few pages back, one of the translators said that this is the company's best translation yet. The main reason why it keeps being pushed back is to ensure 'the highest possible quality', so that's good.

For anyone else wondering why there's all talk about proper translations, this company is infamous for their half-assed translations, and disgraceful typos. I wouldn't really care if it was a few random fan translators, but this is an actual company, making people pay for the games. You'd think paying 35 euro a pop would mean that you're getting some quality entertainment, but that's not the case with this company. I'm hoping Higurashi is the start of better translations from them.

[JTExecutor]

They probably saw what the forums had to say about that.

[Seronei]

I'm hoping Higurashi is the start of better translations from them.

From what I've heard their more recent translations are actually pretty good. Shuffle and Kira Kira I've heard had good enough translations. Not that I've actually played them. :notrust
