The remaining episodes make little to no reference of either one, so critical information won’t be lost. If it’s not your cup of tea, then feel free to skip them. Both episodes are full of pretty good laughs, and that’s saying something for a series that is more known for shocking its viewers. If you are a fan of the brand of humor Higurashi had at the beginning of its arcs, then you’ll be right at home here. light of this, some viewers may see these episodes as out of place and understandably so. They serve as comedic buffers to the main storyline in which humor makes virtually no appearances at all. I’m glad I did.īe advised: The first and last OVA are nothing like the rest of this short series. Still, I wanted to see where the series could go despite not knowing what to expect and even after all of the questions were already answered. The first Higurashi series was a blast, but Kai left a bit of a bitter aftertaste with how it handled its two crucial arcs. To be honest, I was a little leery about picking up this installment of the Higurashi franchise. (If you didn't like the silly stuff, just skip the first and last episode).Įven if you haven't watched Higurashi, the first and last episodes are still entertaining. In short - If you watched Higurashi, you should enjoy this. I can't say I enjoyed these episodes quite as much as the main series, but I felt that they were still entirely worth watching, and were very well-done considering the options open to the storyteller at this point in the story. them - suspense and mystery are essential elements, though it's a different sort than we're used to, I would say it's much more 'subtle' than the main series. The plot episodes have more of a traditional Higurashi feel to (They were the highlight of the OVA for me, though that's just personal taste). If, on the other hand you liked the antics throughout Higurashi, the silly episodes will probably just make your day. You will likely not enjoy the silly episodes if you did not enjoy the silly/cute side of Higurashi. This OVA is broken into two basic sections: Silly episodes (the first and last) and plot episodes (the middle episodes). Since a review is ~not~ supposed to be an plot summary, I'll give a general feel of what to expect and my opinion about it:
