I suppose it must be easier to understand the series if you've read both the manga and played the game. For a newcomer to Higurashi I wasn't too confused, it's so easy to enjoy if you don't even try to figure out the link between each story and just concentrate on the arc at hand. I'm so happy about this news. However, I'm still not really sure about a sequel. I thought the series finished well enough and I'd prefer to just be left thinking about what's already happened and figuring it out for myself. |

Wow, and I was thinking something big was being licensed with all the commotion... Turns out it is just another one of those cutesy anime...
When is Tenshi na Konamaiki getting licensed? That one I'd like to get my hands on... |

If you think Higurashi is your usual cutesy anime you're in for a little surprise

A little surprise is an understatement.

The story isn't finished, the anime only showed 6 out of the 8 games; Most of the important questions have yet to be answered: Who is the mastermind behind it all? Why exactly do people keep going insane? Who exactly is Oyashiro-sama if it does exist? spoiler[And of course: How do they finally defeat 'fate' and free themselves from the endless June?] |

It's obviously Takano. I mean that woman just oozes EVIL from every pore. You can't be that bloody creepy without being up to SOMETHING. |

The second question won't be a question if Geneon brings the TIPS over like the Japanese DVDs did. The first is fairly clear after doing a bit of thinking. The 7th chapter just confirms things. The eighth just wraps things up. The eighth is also somewhat cheesy. The PS2 last chapter has a slightly more satisfying plot from what I've heard. |

I am a bit suprised that Higurashi was picked up, I wantd it to be, but I had me doubts about that happening. The series was a pleasent suprise for me last srping and am waiting for the second season/series. I have some of the manga but have not read any of it yet and have only dabld a bit with one of the games. For being creepy, not really...it was a good mystery but for really creepy check out Ghost Hunt, know that is a creepy anime. Creepy enough that I would love to see 1 or 2 of the story lines made into movies. If you liked Higurashi, check out Ghost Hunt because it's just as cool, more coherent and pretty creepy at times.

Hey, I got it right!
I never actually saw the series, but my friend did and gave me a synopsis. Plus, I knew the translation, so the cicada was a giveaway. Did they post the winners anywhere yet? |

That never gets old. NEVER I tell you. I almost wish they would put that on the DVD as well. "Some people who are lactose intolerant can go to the emergency room!" They did a "Breath Note" parody too. |

Heh, well, even if 4kids got it, they at least can't butcher a lot of names because a lot of them are American sounding enough to begin with.
"Mion" and "Shion" would probably be left alone in such a scenario. "Rika" and "Rena" would definitely stay. Keiichi probably would turn into Casey though and Oishi would probably turn into "Kraud Osh" or something. But I could imagine 4kids Higurashi now...spoiler[Rika stabs herself, with a plastic shovel! And no, she didn't die, of course not! Was that blood? No, that was ketchup!] Not everyone watches fansubs, please don't spoil this show for everyone. |

Let's see, a popular and well-liked show, Geneon's name plastered on the credits... I know that either of those things alone doesn't guarantee anything, but the only thing that surprised me about this news is that it took this long for it to happen.
