So you hated the fact the second season started unraveling the mysteries presented in season 1?

I hated the fact that it turned into some slice of life comedy without a plot.

A few details behind the second missing but we're still hungry for more of it.

I'm sorry, you must've watched Lucky Star instead of Higurashi Kai. |

No, I am sure it was Higukai which additionally seemed to have way too much screentime for its story :p

How can you seriously call the Massacre arc (6-13) slice of life? It's like you watched the 2nd and 3rd ep only for this season and decided the entire season was club games for some inane reason.

You know, I wouldn't mind having a series composed entirely of club games. I always considered club games to be one of the best parts of the franchise and was really disappointed how little focus they get in the anime. Oh, that and Kei'ichi's father. I wish they'd used his awesome character design from the manga as opposed to the boring one they decided on. Speaking of the manga someone needs to pick up the rights and release it over here soonish. It's a far better adaptation. |

Don't jump to conclusions. I watched 23 episodes of the show up to now, constantly hoping for it to become better. So I really gave Higukai a chance for improvement.
Was this Satoko's arc? I know there were drama elements in it but it dragged for 8 episodes and only moved in circles. Three episodes would have summed up this plot excellently but as it was dragged for so long it became as boring as if there wasn't any story development. Seriously, the whole season is far too long and just not exciting. I don't need blood or violence, don't get me wrong, but Higukai really needed better writers. |

To ANY company's out there (looking at you, ADV). Pick up the Higurashi license post haste. It'd be a sizable pick up.
I just rented the first 3 DVD's and now I'm hooked, I need more Mion! |

This is one of the most ridiculous things I've heard all day. Kai has an insane amount of plot. You must have not been paying attention. |

It's comments like these that makes me wonder why you actually like Higurashi. If anything, season 2 was more plot than season 1. Season 1 simply set up the murders and mystery, but the way DEEN adapted it, it was more of the 'lol blood, violence, and killer lolis!' Season 1 sets up the questions while Kai answers them. Unless you think the answers to the questions provided in season 1 were "plotless detail". Also, season 1 would've had just as many "slice-of-life comedy moments" as season 2 if DEEN had done it at the same pace as Kai. But judging by your comments, I don't think you would've like that either.
That did not come out of nowhere. It actually happened in the game and is a perfectly nice set up for Saikoroshi-hen, which is the arc season 3 will most likely start out with. And yes, that is the one, like someone else already mentioned, spoiler[where Rika lives in the "perfect" ideal world and goes crazy.] And I really like the idea of season 3 being 'Fumoffu' sort of thing where DEEN animates some of the side arcs. |

This is terrific news. I'm really interested in seeing as well, what season three will lead to 'cause it certainly did seem to be done with this one.
The shock factor was larger in the first season, but still enough surprises in between this season to keep me interested, it was really good. |

This is actually not true at all. Onisarashi-hen features Akasaka and Ooshi. Yoigoishi-hen features Mion, and the third manga exclusive that wasn't mentioned is Utsutsukowashi-hen, which features Shion. Onisarashi-hen is a very interesting arc and I would love to see it animated. It's more of the nature of the first season, and while the main characters aren't the leads, they're still very interesting. Yoigoshi has some pretty dramatic and interesting characters too, and an interesting premise. Also grown-up Mion is a plus. Utsutsukowashi-hen is more like the first season with Shion as the main character when she attended another school. I'd love to see these arcs animated, but it's more likely it'll be the Rena epilogue stuff. |

Look hara, I personally don't care if you like Kai or not but to call Kai a slice of life comedy shows you have no [expletive] clue what the slice of life genre is.
