OMG! It started and I was so happy at Rika in the following, along with some nice ass shaking from her in the spoiler I would be freaked out shitless with how everyone was in the following,  The phone cabin was scary indeed but I did like that everyone saved Keiichi from Miyo in the spoiler The episode itself should be considered as a joke with entertain value and so the elements in the list is what made it fun.
About the ED, the ED gives us some very nice poses of the female characters being in their yukata such as one of the twins in the spoiler About preview, the next episode looks to be more serious yet I cannot quite be sure if it’s part of the real story or just another parody of something. At least it looks way more serious than this episode. I wonder if they will do like the last OVA format in which the first episode was a joke and the other 3 were serious shit. Well it fun to see all the cast of this series once again. I am therefore happy in regards to that. |

| I loved the Mion Body sushi, especially with Shion licking it, so lilicious and wincestious. The Rika ass window washing was funny. Hanayuu's scene was a disappointment though with all the fanservice couldn't Kenchi have tripped and landed on her or something that can produce actual ecchi. Also it was a bad scene for a wet scene, anything would have been better for it except a shrine maiden scene. The nosebleeds from the Satoko bath scene were epic. This was the fanservice episode, the next is a magic girl episode, love Rika and Satoko's outfits. Looks like there may be some good violent scenes in that one too bad it's 2 months away. 4/5 |

| The ecchi parts were not as bad as made out to be from previews or maybe it was just me... Oh gosh the Shmion scene reminded me of the Hen Zemi OVA. I really liked the remix of "Ai" BGM, I wonder if there will be an OST for Kira *o* I laughed so much in this episode. The Takano & Keiichi scene reminded me of a dream I had once. Exact same thing except scenery was somewhere else in the school (some dark place) and Keiichi had a dog collar. xD;; Animation wise, I think it was better than Rei actually. I loved how they parodied Onikakushi-hen. Dem troll faces lolol. Keiichi's monologue. xD 4/5 Can't wait for episode 2! So psyched!~ Magical Girl Rika and Tuxedo Mask-esque Keiichi? I hope they work together! *o* |
| Well, watching this solely for Shion and Mion. They're always so full of win. Just sayin'. >Tomitake fantasizing about Rika washing windows with her butt in some cosplay outfit This kind of trips my lolicon alert. Oh Mion, you so crazy. Also, dat Takano. And ED's crap. Speaking of which, OP is quite crappy too, but it's strangely catchy. HAPPY! LUCKY! DOCHY! YES! YES! YES! Actually, it's amusing how I find this much better than the original series. |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| They started the episode with Shion's delicious cackle laugh. Oh, how I've missed it. <3 And lol, Tokitake fantasizing about Rika washing windows with her ass in a cosplay outfit. Oh Tomitake, you lolicon. Tomitake said: Sasuga mad scientist Houoin Kyouma Irie! All of these batsugemu are so full of win. Takano-san, HNNNNNNNGH. Dat voice, Itou Miki, I've missed you so much. <3 Next episode we'll get a Puella Magi parody... Looking forward to it! |
 |
| I could definitely tell it was one of those episodes despite not watching original series. I loved the body sushi part. |
 |
| The side of me that absolutely loves the story brought on by the visual novels and first two seasons of the anime hated this, whereas the male, testosterone-driven side of me loved it. 3/5 |
| Even though i did not like Rei, i strangely enjoyed Kira (and this is coming from a girl). it was especially funny when Satoshi just popped out of nowhere and then they had bunny suits on. I also like Rika's line: "It's unfogiveable! Nipah~!" I didn't realize how much i had missed Mion/Shion's laugh until i heard it in the begining. And Takano's voice was nice to hear. Everyone's voices were nice to hear, saying new lines and such! I don't usually like stuff like this, but i did like this ep a lot. 7/10 (also, the art has improved much much more from Rei) ^^ |

| WTF WAS THAT? ;O Haha alright, it was okay. I wish it had more of the Higurashi comedy feeling, but instead it feels like a different show. That's the source of my dissapointment - the fanservice was alright, but it just wasn't funny. Even though I didn't think Rei was very good, it did have me laughing a few times. In this first episode of Kira I wasn't even close to laughing. (The OP doesn't count. That did make me laugh because it's so different from the past ones. XD) XxshizxX said: Where can I watch this? :.. If you don't feel like downloading, the raw is on Youtube... |
| What the hell did I watch?! |
| This is, by far, the most shocking episode I've seen in the entire franchise. My favorite part of this episode:  Imagine my horror when I realised that the subbed version of this episode was released a mere ONE day after I gave up waiting and watched it raw. *NERDRAGE* Am currently downloading the subbed episode; Will add more thoughts on the episode later (It's one hella ecchi-eccentric episode). |

| I...honestly don't know what to say, other then Rena looked damn hot in that maid outfit (but I swear, her breasts weren't that big.) That was ALMOST as weird as the first episode of Rei, and it's just gonna get weirder. I'm hoping to see at least one episode of murder, but so far it's alright, I guess. It's still nice to see Higurashi again. |
| Just watched the Raw Version (and I'm not good in Japanese). Omg. . . the scene with Satoshi and Keiichi . . .they are so cute together :3 Ahm . . . |

| Hell I already knew it but I'm kinda sad there isn't really any plot... |

Amaya-no-Hime said: Not nearly enough of anyone, really. It was pretty much just Keiichi. And a few figments of his imagination. I don't mind Keiichi, but I wouldn't have minded maybe a bit more Rena. As well as all the other characters without ecchi implications.Not nearly enough Shmion. 2/5 I mean, I didn't really walk into this with high expectations or anything, but I expected at least a little comedy or something. Just ecchi. Nothing but ecchi. Boring. 2/5 |

Onibokusu said: And in thee end it depends what side are you on. I am more of the neutral type. I tend to like it things when they are there. As gore comes, I take it as much as comedy coming and taking it. The thing I hate most about Higurashi is when all goes nice and suddenly blood everywhere. That surprise got me sometime in the first season. Mitsukai- said: Lies right here. If you had truly played the Visual Novels, you'd know these kinds of shenanigans are commonplace. There's more comedy and ecchi situations than there is horror itself.The side of me that absolutely loves the story brought on by the visual novels and first two seasons of the anime hated this, whereas the male, testosterone-driven side of me loved it. 3/5 Well anyway, I am against any Rika gore. |
| oh you fanservice including fanservice i didnt want They were all hot but im still totally in love with Rena. and Hanyuu is so adorable. |

Onibokusu said: Mitsukai- said: The side of me that absolutely loves the story brought on by the visual novels and first two seasons of the anime hated this, whereas the male, testosterone-driven side of me loved it. 3/5 Lies right here. If you had truly played the Visual Novels, you'd know these kinds of shenanigans are commonplace. There's more comedy and ecchi situations than there is horror itself. ^ Quoted for the truth! |
| Oh my god, that Rena scene was magnificent. Rika butt window cleaning service was cute. Takano was... *cross legs* Nice one Satoshi, nice one. Loved it, can't wait till the next ova! |
 |
| As a die hard Higurashi Fan... What the fuck did I just watch... It was... It was... AMAAAAAAZING ;v; Loved the Rena delusion Loved those little creepy Higurashi moments Loved the Satoko bath scene Loved the desserts Loved the yaoi scene |
| More horrifying than the original series. 1/5 |
Yumekichi11 said: . The thing I hate most about Higurashi is when all goes nice and suddenly blood everywhere. That surprise got me sometime in the first season. That's good thing in Higurashi. I love all onomatopoeias! "Mad scientist" with Japanese accent from S;G Well.. I like fusion higurashi story(virus, oyashiro curse etc) with echi/comedy. "When you hear this, I'm probably wandering the labyrinth of pleasure" |
| The fanservice wasn't the problem with this ova, the problem is it was boring, not funny at all; I expected much more of this. |
| Ooishi seems totally out of place in Soul Brothers. |

ZaggyPlushie said: noooooooooooo why would you do thatWow Higurashi has taken a step further into crappyness. And I still was hoping for something interesting. Higurashi has the potential to be good but whe they release crap like thise, they are just destroying the potential. |
| SOUL BROTHERS! Heh, so yeah, that was disturbing in many ways.. Pervy Õishi! This OVA isn't that bad I think, (or it is..) but it's not what I started watching the series for (I didn't play the visual novels). I would prefer a somewhat more mystic/slightly graphic/more serious episode. ^^' I'm not a fan of girl-fanservice. But the next OVA looks slightly better than this one. |
| I feel kind of bad for all of these little children and how they're fantasized in these situations by Keiichi and grown men... O.o" These guys have some serious fetish issues... And whoa, the Keiichi Satoshi scene.... Uhmmm.... Yeah... Not much to say there... Definitely not the top of my yaoi pairs that's for sure O.o" There were some great parts (mion with ak-47 and outside the phone booth are classic) in it but the fanservice was a bit over the top ^_^" It was still... kind of funny... just a bit creepy with the fanservice. It's okay, I liked the original series much better but an OVA is an OVA. |

| Yeah but all this Hinazawa syndrome thing suddenly starting delusions of pleasure and of reality misconception does make you wonder what is really going on in reality around Keiichi. Is he really the first contractor and a sudden turn is going to take place or the rescue of Keiichi will start in this OVA series? So far there is mind fuck journey to start with next episode. |
| Lulz at Rika and her way of cleaning. I totally knew there was going to be something between Mion and Shion too. Quite disappointed although it was a pretty funny episode, I still want to see more of the girls being psycho. Kuraudo still gives me the creeps. Especially after this episode. Ew, ew, ew. And what -- the next chapter is in September?! D: |
| This episode was a piece of shit and hopefully the OVA will pick up, but if it doesn't then that really sucks. |
 Full of the taste of love, search everywhere for that place. |

| Goddamn it those weren't penalty games. Those were ideas for a porn movie. |
 |
| I'm totally watching this OVA for the plot |
Dynneekx said: If only it had one a plot... I'm totally watching this OVA for the plot What the hell is this? This isn't Higurashi... It's only Higurashi in name! I do like the fanservice, but this needs more murder! |
  |
| Haha, it was ridiculous, but pretty close to the first OVA of Rei in terms of fanservice and senselessness. Let's just hope the next three are as good as Rei's OVA 2 to 5 then. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
