Okay this is my first review :)

Being a big fan of the Higurashi series I was excited to find out that a new adaptation of the story was being released. Needless to say i didn't have any hopes or expectations as most of the questions were answered (Watch Higurashi no Naku Koroni Kai to find out) other than wanting to see my favourite cast of characters set off onto a new adventure.

......also just in case
WARNING THIS SPECIAL MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS AND MAY/MAY NOT AFFECT INTERPRETATIONS OF THE MAIN SERIES

Story: 6/10
This special gives a sort of side story to the main series and contains some mystery ... behind it. Whilst there is no actual involvement of the main characters other than the shenanigans at the start of the show the story does suffice to bring the characters back in for another adventure.

Art: 9/10
Same style as Kai and 1st season but still beautiful.

Sound: 8/10
The opening and closing songs are the same as season 1, but to my knowledge I believe it uses some background music from the 1st season so they are nice on the ear.

Character: 10/10
No new development just the same wonderful cast :) ~ Ni pah!

Enjoyment: 8/10
To see the cast of Higurashi doing something new is the main reason why i wanted to watch it and i did enjoy watching it but i want more!

Overall: 8/10
If you’re a fan of the series you should definitely watch it and even if you are new to the franchise it can give you a taste of who the characters are and half of what their like. BUT, just in case, be warned that it MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS as it does contain flashbacks of the main series but which aren't that harmful BUT parts of the special could affect how you interpret the first series of Higurashi.

So watch it to find out why it is called the cat killing chapter :)
