AHHHH! THAT WAS AMAZING!
Rena is gorgeous!!! Rika is Moe! Takano is HOT!
I was literally screaming when Tamitake stopped that bullet with his chest. GAR!!!
One of the best things I've ever seen O__O"

Isn't this going to be aired 25th of February o__________o
Is this some kind of pre-airing or what? If it is, where did you watch it?

Or are you just kidding with us, little higurashi-fans? :'''<

Fanservice pool episode. Nothing actually relevant to the plot, but Rei only had one relevant storyline out of the three arcs anyway.

Basically, K1 gets magic swimwear and hilarity ensues.

What the? It's out already? That's really fast.

I guess that'll explain why the OP is out.

OP and ED are gorgeous, but the episode was.. well.. I never liked the humor in Higurashi so much, so I'm waiting for the story arc to begin. At least Takano was win XD

It was little weird to watch Higurashi again ! Opening was amazing <3 New animation style looks little werid, but I guess that I used to it >:3

Awww, it was so cute to heard nipa~h again ♥ And Rena's nosebleed XDDD And I have always loved swimming episodes and those girls were really cute ! Especially Rena, yellow bikinis *nosebleed* Hanyuu was really cute too. Aww, Shion's swimsuit was cute.

Ahaha, Hanyuu's nipah was also cute but I prefer more Rika's one <3 And Satoko's laugh, I've missed that one ;;____;;

Haha, I loved it. Soul Brothers part was hilarious. Also, Rika is such a big pervert. xD
I liked the new art, though the eyes kinda seem weird with all that emptiness.
Loved the ED.

It was funny. :P The only visible difference in the animation style (to me) was the eyes.

The next episode is going to be more serious (Saikoroshi-hen).

The first episode is inside the Comic Market 75 Limited CD of Higurashi no naku koro ni kai.
someone uploaded it on nicovideo, but it was deleted following request from Frontier Works. watch it while you can at veoh, everybody!

well, this was very surprising, coz i didnt expect a gag and fanservice only episode.. it was funny, but most of it were cheap laughs, unfortunately. and Hanyuu wasn't in a swimming suit.. >.<
hehe.. this was just ok, thank you very much

Honestly, I like the old ones better. And only like one instrument out of the whole thing.

Also, ZA WARUDO. Awesome new Hanyuu powers examples. She definitely has a varying power over time.

Ahahaha. Tomitake was amazing, and Hanyuu's "Nipah~" was so cute. ;-;

I really love the OP, but the ED kind of left something to be desired.

Can't wait for this to get subbed (and I MUST see the next episode now).

I'm actually kinda surprised they had Hanyuu use her time powers like that here, considering how they left it out in Kai.

Agreed. I only watched so I could hear the twin's voices again. To be honest, I like the 1st season's style the most... kind or ironic, right?

I actually loved the new animation style!

The OP and ED both have great vids, but I don't like the OP song as much as the previous two.

This ep was just comedy. The next three will be serious and the last one will be comedy again. The girls are all such perverts!

Great episode, im looking forward to the serious-ness of the next episode, and Rena's eyes once again looking completely insane.
I loved how easy the soul brothers were manipulated.. they have no chance against the girls of Higurashi no naku koro ni kai.

This might be a stupid question since I'm sure it's written right in front of my nose, but how many OVA's will there be?

Just started watching the first. Wow, their eyes are really different ._.

It was good -- not epic like Higurashi usually is and should be -- but good nonetheless. It made me chuckle at any rate.

I don't like the new animation, though. >_>

The creators had to be kidding! This is not Higurashi! This is going too far :/ Stupid pointless fanservice. And what's with Takano?

Although I have to admit the chest deflecting part was pretty funny :P

Anyway, no more of this anymore, please. I want a serious episode next.

Btw, Chie-senpai always was a parody of Ciel-senpai from Tsukihime. I didn't know that until recently.

THAT'S BECAUSE OF THE UNIMPORTANT AND UTTERLY POINTLESS OUT-OF-LEFT-FUCKING-FIELD PLOT POINT THAT THEY INTRODUCE IN SAIKOROSHI-HEN FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER.

No, I'm not going to spoil it for you, and no, I'm not making shit up, either.
