LOL, Death Note... As fitting as the song would be, with the story itself it is completely different. You need something like the lovely Higurashi no Naku Koro ni OP song. Which reminds me, you think they'll have a new one or use the old one? I mean, What's up, people?! is awesome and insane, but it doesn't show a hint of mystery in it, which this show is based solely on.

While I appreciate your effort linking that.. that is one of the worst AMVs I've ever seen lol... and Ive seen alot. Music was horrible and didnt match the scenes at all.. and there was no flow to the whole thing jsut completely random scenes. Booooo
Anyways, cant wait for season 2, I've read a fair amount of spoilers but damn trying to get some info out of those game players at animesuki is like trying to put out a fire with gasoline.
Heh I still say the Keiichi man song AMV is the best one ever. XD
Here it is again for those who missed it

Well, speculations from other forums say that the OP of the PS2 Higurashi Matsuri game (Nageki no Mori) is most likely to be used as OP for Season 2.

I can only download 3 files a day on MegaUpload.
I supose its not that bad, considering the 1 episode per week ratio of currently running series. I just hope the files stay active for that long. Thats all I'm worried about.
I'm currently up to episode 9 by the way and am really enjoying this series. So far, my favorite arc was the first one, episodes 1-4. I can't wait until the really twisted stuff starts happening. XD

Oh yeah, thanks to Rena's alternate link in the FC to the Character CD songs, I was able to download two of the five songs. I still haven't downloaded the drama one.
"Egao Happy Peace" is very upbeat and well, cute, and it fits Rena's character well. And "Keiichi Ooishi no Uwasa no Jikenbo ABC" made me LOL not only because Keiichi and Oishi are rapping, but because of the following lines:
Do you know Oyashiro-sama?
Yes, Hinamizawa
I kill you, you kill me
No, Hinamizawa
Not to mention there's a lot of Engrish in that song. :lmao

Oh hey, Kira, since you're here now and everything, I would like you to please get rid of the "Spirited away by Ogres" part of the thread title, as it's incorrect (Onikakushi-hen is the first question arc).
P.S. and if possible, please change the "Na" in the "Naku" so that the color is red like it should be. lol, well if that was remotely possible in the first place.

05-05-2007, 04:57 AM
Oh yeah, that's a nice suggestion - removing the "Spirited Away by Ogres" from the thread title. That's something that we've been dying to see...

05-05-2007, 05:01 AM

I looked back at the site a few days ago. My, I've forgotten how much more detailed they looked in the production art, especially Rena. I think DEEN's got a much bigger budget this time around. At least I hope they do... for Oyashiro-sama sake.

Also if I had to choose a Higurashi girl... I want Mion, Shion, and Rena at the same time. XDDDD
and well Rika and Satoko would be more like sisters to me. Keiichi should realize how lucky he is that he can practically have a foursome there. XD

Actually, I never once said "Shion isn't hawt in all her states." I merely implied that the distortion of her mug during the infamous ladder scene was blunt atrocity, thanks again to DEEN.
Er.. technically only Rika and Satoko are loli, but they aren't the psychotic ones. Admittedly, Higurashi mode a real turn-on when it comes down to it. Except for Shion, those weren't Higurashi-eyed.

Well on the animesuki forums they keep saying how the anime is missing stuff from the games. Well gee I'd love to play the games but considering they're completely in Japanese that might be hard.
Well, those guys are just purists. If the anime really missed a lot of vital parts from the game, so they say, then the sequel will be definitely affected big time. :oh
Trust me, you're not alone in that feeling :noworry
Haha. Glad to hear that. Rena is "kaiiii~" no matter what state she is in. :amuse
Though, I'm sure a few people were impatient and already spoiled themselves about the ending like me. :nod
And sadly, I'm one of them. I promise to never go to Wikipedia again. :shakefist

And Rena holding the entire class hostage was a bit of a surprise.

You know I'd love to see a 2-D Higurashi fighting game. It'd consist of all the characters in Higurashi Daybreak and of course each character would come equipped with their trademark weapons.
Also for specials it would work like this. There would be a "Hinamizawa Syndrome" bar under the health bar that's split into five bars. Each character will have a special at L1 a Super Special at L3 and a Ultimate Special at L5. Also a picture of the character's face will be displayed too and while the Hinamizawa Syndrome bar increases the picture will slowly change from normal to their more deranged and psychotic appearances when the bar hit's L5.
For instance Rena's specials might be
L1 - Teleports behind opponent and strikes them over the head with her cleaver
L3- USODA! scream
L5 - Rena takes out the bomb from the atonement chapter and detonates it.

Of course Casey lives in the end. No one dies in HappyTown. He's just going to be tied up in Rachel's closet forever.
Oh and yeah I was thinking that maybe the characters could have two L1 specials because an alternate L1 special I thought for Rena would be her leaping at the opponent and hugging them tight in a death grip while going "HAUUUU~! Omochikaeri!"

I even thought that characters would have specific attacks relating to who they fight. Such as if Shion is fighting Mion; Shion's character specific attack would resemble that part in the anime showing Shion in a dominatrix outfit whipping an Uke looking Mion.
I thought of other specials as well
Shion
L1 - Appears behind the opponent and tazer's them in the back of the head.
L3 - Makes the opponent lower their guard by making them worry about her only for her to stab the opponent in the stomach. (Think what Shion did to Keiichi at the end of Watanagashi-hen.)
L5 - The opponent is tazered and wakes up on the contraption Satoko was during Meakashi-hen. Shion then starts psychotically stabbing the opponent over and over then finishing them off by stabbing them in the face. (Sort of like what she did to Satoko.)
Mion
L1 - Takes the air pistol out of her holster and fires an enormously huge size ki blast at the opponent knocking them back. (Yeah I know... Ki blast? Well I couldn't think of anything else and heck it's like she's shooting ki blasts from that thing in Higurashi Daybreak.)
L3 - Restrains the opponent and injects them with the syringe she injected Keiichi with in Onikakushi-hen the opponent then damages themselves
L5 - Mion knocks the opponent out and the opponent wakes up on the contraption Keiichi was on in Watanigashi-hen. Mion then proceeds to drive nails into the opponent's finger joints. (I know it was Shion who planned to do that to Keiichi but well I figured nothing wrong with splitting Shion's insanity up between the two sisters.)
Keiichi
L1 - Ero Keiichi Power! (Think what Keiichi did the first time he was in Angel Mort and thought Shion in the maid outfit was Mion.)
L3 - Shounen bat Keiichi from Onikakushi-hen
L5 - Shounen bat Keiichi with nii-nii power from Tatarigoroshi-hen
Satoko
L1 - Satoko cries which summons Satoshi to damage the opponent
L3 - Satoko uses a deadly trap to injure the opponent
L5 - Satoko pushes the opponent off a bridge in the same fashion the did to Keiichi at the end of Tatarigoroshi-hen
Rika
L1 - Rika says "Nipah~!" which damages the opponent due to it's sheer cuteness.
L3 - Rika's voice changes to her deeper more serious voice as she tells the opponent that their death has already been decided before impaling them with the ceremonial hoe she uses during the festival.
L5 - Psycho Rika from Saikoroshi-hen surfaces and completely mutilates the opponent with a scythe

Well the maggots are just a hallucination from what I can tell. I mean Rena was at the final stages of Hinamizawa Syndrome at that point. It's sort of like what Keiichi went through when he thought he killed Teppai.
Keiichi remembers because the memories of the past world were triggered by specific events. In the case of Keiichi it was the realization of trusting his friends that unlocked the memories he had of Onikakushi-hen and showed him that he was the same as Rena at one point.
Thhat part hasn't been proven at all but most theories go towards it being that for some reason there are multiple versions of the characters wandering around in Hinamizawa due to Rika resetting the world.

Keiichi is the Optimus Prime of this series unfortunately
As Rika says at one point Keiichi is the six on the dice but he tended to roll a lot of one's.
Hmm what you mean with Optimus Prime? =D
Well, guess i'll have to watch the rest too but damn I really liked it before they all died ;/

You'll see a lot of death in this series but that just makes it better... of course the interaction before the deaths is awesome too..
I just find Psycho Rena, Mion, and Shion hawt.

Whoa. You did quite some explaning for the "confused", didn't you, Aethos? :huh
I wish Chapter 4 of Onisarashi-hen gets scanlated soon. I mean, the end of Chapter 3 was so awesome that I can't wait for the next one. I'm not a raw viewer so saying that I just check out raws won't help. :wink
Now that I think of it, all of us in the Higurashi fandom doesn't have an idea on how the original arc for Season 2 will go. At least, we're all in the same ground. Once the last two arcs are shown, then those spoilers lying around the net will get working.

Elfen Lied has been finnished for years now and its still not fully scanlated.

Glad to hear that you like the series. And well, your Higurashi profile would be complete if you change your Custom Title and Location. :amuse
Oh yeah, Youko is going to get nuts on that avatar of yours. :P
Anyway, I do recommend that you read the manga. The anime has, in one way or another, missed/altered some details from the original game (which I don't mind, really), and the manga is the closest you can get to the original storyline without having to play the game itself. The only beef to this is that scanlations take quite some time.
You can get the manga in the Higurashi manga scanlation projects aggregate site (http://hinamizawa.e-n-m.net/releases).

The first arc had me so captivated in its horror. The needle in the ohagi, Rena repeating "gomen" to Keiichi while he continuously locks the door on her hand and tells her "kaeru" over and over. And then she's outside in the rain staring at his window. I think the most freakiest part at that time was before he ate the ohagi. Mion's eye close-up. *shivers*

What I don't get is that Keiichi has it made with 3 hotties (Mion, Shion, and Rena) yet he seems to have a fetish for some Satoko and Rika.
Reminds me of a doujin I saw where Keiichi got arrested for that, Satoko got instatutionalized for mental trauma, and the other girls erased Keiichi's existance from Hinamizawa because of him being a pedo. Oh and Irie was there too but he was just mad that Keiichi didn't wait for him before doing things to Satoko... Wait why did Keiichi get arrested and not Irie? XD
Seriously though Keiichi needs to get his head on straight and go after the twincest sisters and Rena. XD

Well, maybe Ryukishi07 has plans on which girl Keiichi is getting his hands on. Although that isn't exactly essential to the resolution of the mystery...

This isn't a damn dating sim PC game. If it was, the anime series would've been very shitty like a huge majority of anime adaptations of eroge, mainly because they always pick the ending nobody wants to see, that's how they work. Mystery is what made the game mysterious and fun. The question arcs, the answer arcs. Focusing on romance isn't the point of the cicadas. Only that which is Oyashiro-sama's curse is all that matters.
Oh, and a Takano is fine too you know. A lady's a lady.

See, Aethos? Youko thinks the same. Just leave the love pairings to fanfics and doujins. :P
Oh, and a Takano is fine too you know. A lady's a lady.
Oh yeah, Takano's definitely hot. Although her usual expression makes me think she is always plotting something, hence, scary. :oh
Has there been any confirmation on who the new character is aside from what the majority has been saying that she's Rena's mother? Well, for sure, she'll be appearing in the anime-original arc.
I asked that because she's "interesting", if you know what I mean. :wink

I seriously can't wait. This is my most anticipated summer anime. It looks like DEEN upped the animation/art quality. It looks really clear and nice. More Rena and Rika, ni-pah! :nuts :nod
dspr8_rugged
05-25-2007, 06:16 PM
I have to agree. Based on those pics alone, I can safely say that Studio DEEN has made improvements on the animation. :nod

05-25-2007, 06:37 PM
How can you se that in stills? :S
QBnoYouko
05-25-2007, 09:05 PM
^Lol. Bad wording. This is why the terms "animation" and "art" are always mixed up.
Ruggedy is saying that judging by the art presented in the provided images, it looks like DEEN has improved by a lot. Now, that doesn't really mean the animation will still be great. :lmao
I seriously think it will though. They put too much focus on their other projects and simply ignored Higurashi after the first arc.

The R1 DVDs are almost here, check them out!
Regular Edition (http://www.rightstuf.com/1-800-338-6827/catalogmgr/xEvTVUNZxXicnn1W=e/browse/item/73885/17/0/0)
Limited Edition (http://www.rightstuf.com/1-800-338-6827/catalogmgr/xEvTVUNZxXicnn1W=e/browse/item/73884/17/0/0)
As you can see, the title is now When They Cry and if I'm not mistaken, it says "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni" within the loop of the infinite symbol.
Can't wait to get the artbox. I had no idea Geneon would make it so moe at the start.
zOMG MY POST COUNT IS OVER NINE THOUSANDDDDD!!!!

Dub clips are out! Get them now!
When They Cry dub clips (http://rs114.rapidshare.com/files/33440665/higu-dub.rar)
Anyway, here's my 2 cents on it:
I don't know what to think of it. When everyone is acting "normal", it's all right. But where Higurashi's VAs shined was when they were all going crazy, and those weren't so... good. Though Mion's VA does an okay job with the opening laugh in episode 5.
Rena's USODA! utterly failed. Not creepy and bone-chilling at all.
And they translated Watanagashi.
+EDIT+
* Age Rating - 13+ More Information
* Date Available - Jun 5 2007
* 125 Minutes
* Format - Hybrid
* Media - DVD
* Product Availability - Pre-Order, Not Yet Shipping

Are they f**king insane? What have they seen in the series to rate it 13+ is beyond me.

They look lovely. :wtf
And grats on the 9000 mark too. :P
QBnoYouko
05-26-2007, 08:27 PM
^Over 9000 mark, you mean. :D
The 13+ thing is odd, but at least it's uncut and uncensored. Or maybe the 13+ thing is actually wrong.
Now as for the clips itself...
Whoever's playing Mion is very good. Seems like out of everyone I've heard, she's the best. Which means Watanagashi-hen is certainly gonna be entertaining once again. Yes, the laughter that started Watanagashi... excellent.
Keiichi sounds older than I expected. Too old to be exact. I guess it's too much to ask for a raspy voice like Hoshi? I can see Rena's voice working here but I definitely agree that the "LIAR!" part was particular shoddy. Needs to be extremely louder with effect, just like how Mai does it. I couldn't hear enough of Satoko or Rika to really say anything. Ooishi sounds just like the typical smoking cop so it works.
Prince Leon
05-26-2007, 08:47 PM
Listened to the clips. The dub voices were quite nice. I especially liked Rena's and Mion's. :nod
I don't have any particular problem with the "LIAR!" bit though...
BakaOnna
05-26-2007, 08:53 PM
After listening to Mion's laugh, I actually liked it. It was pretty close to the original.
Did you guys hear the mii that Rika said? I seemed to have missed that.
I guess the dub is pretty good. At least the VA put emotion in their acting.
Oh, and here's the English cast:
Grant George as Keiichi Maebara
Kelli Kassidi as
Mion Sonozaki
Shion Sonozaki
Mela Lee as Rena Ryugu
Minx Lee as Satoko Hojo
Reba West as Rika Furude
Barbara Goodson as Keiichi's Mother
Dave Mallow as Keiichi's Father
Joe DiMucci as Detective Oishi
Karen Strassman as Miyo Takano
Kyle Hebert as Jiro Tomitake
Sam Carr as Teacher

I don't have any particular problem with the "LIAR!" bit though...There was nothing wrong with how she said it, but it should be louder and scarier for greater effect. Great laugh though.
Did you guys hear the mii that Rika said? I seemed to have missed that.I heard it. It wasn't as affectionate and cute as Yukarin does it. It was rather flat.
Speaking of Rika, I'm dying to hear how her actress will pull off the deep, ominous voice, even though I know nobody is great at that as Yukarin.
Kyle = Tomitake? Heh, hadn't notice that.

05-27-2007, 03:09 AM
Yeah, I screwed-up with my earlier post. :sweat
Anyway, I gave the dub clips a try. I think the voices are okay, but not that scary. I don't expect it to be as close to the original anyway. Well, those are only a few. I don't know how it sounds in the other arcs. Guess I'll check it out when I have a chance.
Mion's VA delivers. Keiichi's voice is too deep for a teenager.

I'll watch the dub a bit to gather my impressions of the English VAs but I'll most likely be doing all of my rewatches of favorite episodes in the original Japanese.
Anyone got vids where the voice actors show manical laughters? :D
QBnoYouko
05-28-2007, 08:24 PM
^Those exist? lol, I would have been traumatized if I watched this anime when I was 13.
Its 100% confirmed that its UNCUT, right?Uncut and uncensored. We get the glorious yet very gory scenes (Tatarigoroshi in particular). Even at an age rating of 13 (which I still don't see why it is that), that's too much.
Currently, I think even the guy who plays Casey would make a better Keiichi.

And I really don't like Rika getting hacked... that's about as the lowest...

Yeah Tomitake's role is supposed to be that way though considering his name is Jirou and I believe that's supposed to be a pun that actually signifies his role.

As I said before, we're all on the same ground with regards to the first arc, whether we have been spoiled or not, since it's an original material.
Hopefully, it delivers.

Well apparently it means "next boy" though I remember seeing on a thread where apparently Tomitake's name Jirou was a pun that had to do with death or being the trigger of an event and that's how he got the name.
