tl;dr: A comedy focused spin off of Higurashi that has really solid comedy and a really sweet and well made ending.

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kira is similar to Rei in that it has episodes that are just random nonsense that aren’t connected to the main plot as well as those that are connected and serve as somewhat of an epilogue. Kira is different from Rei though, in that while Rei was weighted more towards being an epilogue, Kira is weighted more towards random nonsense.

The first three episodes of Kira are primarily centered around comedy. The first mainly involves a series of random delusions Keiichi ...

Mixed Feelings
While the first few episodes (the majority of them) are pretty weird, that last episode was really wholesome. Just wish the rest of the episodes were as wholesome as that last one...

I'd rather claw my own throat out than watch this again. I'm just going to have to rate this based on memory. Which sucks because I never wanted to think about this again.

Look, I get it. It's not the main series. It's supposed to be a breath of fresh air for the characters. Getting killed over and over kinda sucks. So hey, happy stuff.
...
Oh for heaven's sake just give me a beach episode, anything but THIS. This is not how you handle a happy version of Higurashi. Which I would like, by the way. These characters are great. I love these guys. Fantastic ...
