The second season does indeed start next month, but the only OVA I've hear of was something that came as a bonus with the last volume of the first season and I believe was just a silly one that had no bearing on the plot.

there was 7 and 9....
7 was the pic of cicada used in the last clue and 9 was blank letters of the Japanese title... they skipped 8...i THINK.... |

Clue #8 was, well, there not being a clue #8. I think. I saw #7 and #9, but no #8. #9 was the Japanese title in _'s

lol. This confirms the fact that they put the second half of the clues just for fun. On a second note, it would be a nice little bonus if they included the OVA in the last R1 DVD as well. |

Well, if you look at wikipedia, they state that most cicadas live from 3-5 years while others live 13-15 or so years. I couldn't find a reference to the Cicada in the title, but judging from the range of life spans, one can assume the guy in the other thread was right about this one's 7 year life cycle and on the 8th it "disappears." It also mentions something about their lifespans follow odd years as well. But that would explain the lack of an 8th clue :O
Found out the scientific name, Tanna japonensis, if anyone wants to give that a shot and finding the life span....all the places I find are in...well, Japanese... |

Hahah, what's interesting is that the pic isn't of a Higurashi (Tanna japonensis), but of an Annual Cicada (Tibicen linnei). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cicada
Seems they just shot for the first cicada pic :O |

As far as I know, no one got clue #8. I had nothing to do with the life-span of cicadas, and yes, it was accessible on the site. It just wasn't linked to.
I'll use a similar clue for a future contest. Maybe make it a bonus clue resulting in an extra prize for the first person who gets that particular clue. -t |

I'm saying, I had it right on the first clue so I wondered what happened with the winners or if anyone won at all.
