And I thought it was on March. Meh, oh well. We can all wait for the second coming of Oyashiro-sama! :twisted:

[spoiler]And let's not forget the hopeful introduction of Hanyu!

Me neither!
A second season of Higurashi is like a dream coming true... Well an anime dream coming true at least :P

But as I was too lazy to read all the pages;
does anyone know why the Na is in red and why it's so important?
*still clueless*

Anyhow, Higurashi 2 for Halloween then :D Couldn't ask for a better treat

The red Na has a double meaning. The full thing means When the Cicadas Cry (or when they cry... whatever..) Na stands for Cry, which can either refer to an insect's call (remember on the Pokedex when you press the Cry button and it makes the pokemon sound? like that..) or a literal Cry as in weeping.

<_<; I think that's it. Anyone who fully knows Japanese can correct it.

Wow I never knew it meant that! All I knew was that Higurashi meant cicada. But this brings another question for me;

why is crying such a relevance? They don't really cry that much in the anime... Hmm...

I have. O_O There's enough relevance there for me. I only need one word to scare me about that show.[spoiler]Fingernails[/spoiler]

Oh yes! I loved that scene! I had such a hard time looking and I rarely feel that way. They really captured the pain and feelings well in that one! :D

I hope more scenes like that are to come in the second season, nyahaha!! >:)

And I also hope they'll stop with the distorted faces O.o Seriously.

This site supposedly revealed what arcs they'll be doing (someone from that fansub was able to read off this).

* Yakusamashi-hen
* Minagoroshi-hen
* Matsuribayashi-hen


That first arc listed is supposedly an original. They also posted character sketches which look a bit more refined than last season.

*laughs madly at the Shion-angry picture that was available*

Her face always looks so weird ^^;

Thanks for the site! Couldn't understand anything, but the pictures were fun to look at!

And an entirely different arc? Cool! ...I hope... *keeps fingers crossed and wishes for the best*

I find it funny that everyone has their angry face, or something like it, except for Rena. Most likely to keep people from being too scared to watch the show.

^^;

The face contortions are enough to scare anyone with a love for proper anime proportions away.

*sees them rushing off*

*awaits Higurashi Kai's arrival in July*

*sips a drink as the cicadas cry in background*

So what now?

Its funny, the first time I ran into this series was on Youtube, and it was strange how Keiichi reminded me of a friend of mine. So I got a lot of good laughs when he started killing people in the first arc. But I really got into this series, I mean, its one of the creepiest things I've ever seen! But now that its been licensed I'm a bit worried.
I'm curious as to how the English voice acting is to be, but I feel like I'm probably going to be let down. Plus I feel sorry for the sponsors of the Higurashi fans sites, Hope they have the bandwidth to support themselves when the new fans start coming.

Hey, here are a few websites you can check out some screencaps of the new season!

http://www.oyashirosama.com/web/kai/index.htm

http://www.famitsu.com/anime/news/2007/ ... 0,0,0.html

I have to say, the characters designs especially the eyes are a lot more refined than I realized. Hopefully Studio DEEN actually has a budget this time.
