HAPPY LUCKY HAPPY LUCKY YES YES YES
For once, I’ll start with an actual Tweet:
@blogsuki: Did 2006 just tweet me? RT @MyssaRei Pst. #Higurashi OVA.
@MyssaRei: @blogsuki Uh no, I meant the new one. Kira, not the Rei one.
And joke went WHOOOOSH~
1. Outside of its fanboys, Higurashi hasn’t been relevant. Since the series concluded (minus the terrible Rei OVA, which is about 1.5 lower than the first season’s metaranking), the following has happened: Haruhi trolled us all with Endless Eight, Clannad not only became one of the greatest anime of the decade but both seasons are available for streaming on Netflix (try to get your 2006 self to wrap your head around this one), 40 episodes and almost one movie of K-On! have occurred, Shaft– SHAFT!– left for dead after Negima and Pani Poni Dash— redefines two genres with Bakemonogatari and Madoka, and the space shuttle is no more.
2. Further proves 7th Expansion and Studio Deen are milking this franchise worse than the New York Yankees milk Derek Jeter.
3. Still enjoy reading my old comments where people try to defend this series as a straight drama/thriller. I think by now we can all agree that unless another studio takes over, Higurashi is best as fanservice train wreck killer loli.
4. I miss typing “killer loli.”
(The opening could cause people to stab and cut and drug each other. My gosh, I couldn’t tell if I were watching a show about psychotic little kids or Higurashi no Naku Koro ni.)
Does seeing K1 Maebara suffer ever get old? Click here for answer.
(Note: YouTube pulled the RickRoll, so that link could be anything really. It could be a relevant link– highly unlikely– or carmeldansen or nyan cat or old timey nyan cat or cute puppies or KHAAAAAAN!)
The Bro Brothers have reunited! It’s like the Jersey Shore, only in anime form.
(Best part of this is that we have K1 Maebara, Mr. Delicious, a crappy photographer, and a pedophile doctor. I hope Marvel taps this for their next crappy superhero movie.)
“How about having her help you eat some refreshing yogurt? Kukuku.”
All I can say is that while Rena meido fantasies are nice, Rena meido fantasies without Mr. Delicious narrating would be so much better. Can’t Mr. Delicious describe it, and then just have audio of Rena moaning as she exhibits herself? I mean… uh… scene direction in this episode could be better. I have suggestions.
(Meido Rena? I want my meido Sonozaki twins. With full on crazy! Just amplifies their hawtness, since I don’t need to worry about them coming out of my HDTV and stabbing me… or do I… eek…)
“And that’s without her using her hands.”
Let’s just say Clannad didn’t need to resort to an OVA special featuring Nagisa wearing a meido outfit and dripping yogurt on herself. But I think Sacred Seven needs it. Desperately.
“When her mouth moves, the yogurt will start dripping onto her chest.”
I see what you did there, 7th Expansion, Studio Deen, and Mr. Delicious. I see what’s going on.
(Still a bit disappointed Mr. Delicious didn’t opt for ridiculous melonpan fantasy number two.)
Bedroom eyes. That is all.
“So everyone can enjoy looking through the glass!”
Total facepalm. Come on, you have four brilliant perverted minds together, and this is the best fantasy that they can come up with for Rena? Have her wash the window with her ass? (Okay, calling them brilliant is overstating it… it only took K1 like 15,532 reboots before he figured out the mystery.) Much better way to deal with Rena? Have her make a contract with Kyubey.
(If Endless Eight is an example of how not do to time loops and Madoka is an example of how to do time loops, Higurashi would be how Mai tells Yuko how to do time loops for Nichijou. If you understood any of that, congrats, you are a level 65 anime fanboy.)
If only Star Driver had ass rubbing against the glass instead of kiss through the glass– nah.
(Kiraboshi!)
O:
All I can say about this scene…
All I can say is that if you manage to beat both Shion and Mion in a game and get them to do nyotaimori, you deserve to at least either eat off them or put the food on them. Because I just think you’ll have an easier time defeating Wing Zero Gundam than defeating Shion and Mion. And even if you win, they’ll obstruct and cockblock you worse than the Republican party. Let’s just say fantasies stay fantasies.
(And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. Anime needs more nyotaimori… I just hope this happens in Usagi Drop Mayo Chiki.
Too bad Shaft beat ya to this! Come on, sneak a nyan cat in there. Or at least have the Sonozakis dress up like Vocaloids.
“Erotic lick!” “Banzai!”
This must be a recreation of how Dwayne Wade convinced LeBron James to sign with the Miami Heat.
Isn’t Sayoko in this case like the pitcher in a battling line-up? Rena leads off, a Sonozaki hits clean-up, and poor Sayoko is last.
A bunch of guys without women fantasizing about women… which basically sums up the internet. Or Google+.
Wait, how does Mr. Delicious know about Hanyuu? Continuity breaker! More importantly, most of the fantasies are from Mr. Delicious… obviously, he has had more than a few thoughts about handcuffing the killer lolis in the back of his cruiser, if you know what I mean.
(No, seriously, this episode is just an excuse for a fat police officer having sexual fantasies about a bunch of crazy but underaged girls? Where’s Chris Hansen?)
PEW PEW!
My favorite episodes of Higurashi were all the everyday life episodes. If only Studio Deen as a straight up harem comedy. Sigh.
“I want to put a flute in-between.”
One time, at band camp…
(Sorry, couldn’t resist.)
How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?
And you wonder why these posts take so long to write.
“Showing off her ass?!”
Bigger group of losers…
A. These four.
B. A fantasy football keeper league draft.
C. Any anime blog tournament.
D. Los Angeles Clippers.
(Still feel like if Tyrion Lannister were here, he’d whip those four idiots into shape. “Do you want to fantasize about the girls, or do you want to fuck the girls?” he’d calmly ask. Before verbally berating them.)
Her milkshake brings all the kids to the yard.
(Amazing Studio Deen would take so much care as to even properly draw in the panty lines. Screw you Production IG! Screw you Shaft! Screw you Kyoto! Screw you PA Works! Screw you Brain’s Base! Studio Deen wins best animation of the year. And, of course, I want Studio Deen to make any sort of anime Harry Potter just so we can get Ron feeding Harry yogurt in a special BD episode.)
“Hidoisugimasu~”
Is to Higurashi what “Survival strategy!” is to Penguindrum.
EMO FACIAL DISTORTION! So happy! Haven’t seen one in ages, and this was an A+.
So this episode turns out to be a dream with a dream within a time loop within a time loop. Not sure what this is called anymore… a Groundhog Day-Inception sammich?
I expected nothing less, but this is really more or less a standard penalty for K1 at this point. I feel like at this point, he’s nowhere as embarrassed at this as Nano is about having a screw.
(Baseball? Meido? Apparently, they haven’t watched A League of Their Own. Also, Japan already has a pr0n league…)
Studio Deen animates how we all felt about the Netflix price increase. Satoko (continuity breaker!) = 60% price increase. Sonozakis = ruthless media conglomerates plus Netflix. K1 = us.
(Yogurt = Mad Men on instant watch.)
Takano’s zettai ryouiki is S-class. *in awe*
The killer loli reunion tour! Let’s get the band together again.
(No, really, watching Kira is like watching the Backstreet Boys reunion tour. Now, there’s no pretense of being anything than a comedic machine of now intentional comedy. Short bursts of it is fine, but I really can’t imagine 7th Expansion continuing to milk this when Umineko is dying for an anime adaptation. So is Tsukihime from what I’ve heard.)
(Whoosh!)
“NIPAA~!”
Higurashi‘s version of “Winter is coming.”
Mion misses from point blank range? Wha? She was a great sniper in Ni! What happened? Is this the Sonozaki stormtrooper reboot? Or is she going to blame the laaaaaag.
“I’m already surrounded!”
K1 never learns. Trying to get salvation via Mr. Delicious or anyone else for that matter is hopeless. He should be volunteering to dress up as a meido or whatever they want to appease them… the killer lolis are the real power brokers in this world. Make them happy. Maybe they’ll even let him go to the beach with them later…
(Up next! The Hinamizawa gang travels to Kissuiso to fest it up for a relaxing vacation…)
It’s repeating… only it seems to be an one-shot disposable fanservice story. The best kind! No silly plot or character development to get in the way of some good old fashion meido.
(Didn’t specify which meido.)
Epic emo facial distortion aside, unless Kyubey shows up, I’m not planning to blog anymore Kira. Show has become what I always thought it should become… my job is done.

We can’t expect much from Studio DEEN, can we? ;)
Aside from the comic stories, all that needs to be adapted about Higurashi has already been, well, adapted. These are just the comedic outtakes from the (PC) games at this point. After this, the book is pretty much closed on the franchise.
Also, the extra stories in the PS2 game don’t really count, as they’re plot swaps of (I think) Minagoroshi-hen and Onikakushi-hen. They only give additional details, like how Shion (or as it Mion?) wasis planning on following K1 to Tokyo once he studies college, and hopes to get into the same schools as him.
Yes, you have to worry about being stabbed while being distracted by scanty clothing.
But hey! It’ll be like the School Days magical girl OVA, all over again.
Three more episodes of this? For some reason the image a fanatic having a stack of 50 Blu-Ray cases on the floor comes to mind…
Myssa: a number of different sites are claiming that the next three OVAs are original stories. If this is true, I wouldn’t count on the book being put back on the shelf just yet :3
Btw, it’s Satoko (fanged trap setting loli) and Satoshi (trap nii-nii)… But then it’s from 2006, so can’t blame you for forgetting.
Also, no mention of curry in the same frame as Ciel-sensei’s fanservice shot???
Title is spelt wrong.
It bothered me, okay?
I don’t have OCD. （　´_ã‚`）
I enjoyed watching Nagisa, I mean Rena, with the yoghurt play.
.
About the only thing I missed, was Takano trying to seduce K1 or kill K1? Add to think I can’t get her as Eva out of my head…makes it seem like Takano is Eva from before she was married…and still just as sexy. And I blame the Umineko character designs for making a 50 year old sexy.
.
My only comment on the twins is that they were fast to pin K1 down for some BL action…get they have a fetish of seeing their men get it on with each other. Rena and Satoko seemed more or less okay with this…but Rika seemed shocked…and she’s never shocked as she’s seen everything before. I guess in all those thousands of loops she’s never seen a BL pairing.
.
And I blame that crazy woman Yu for making Satoshi sound sexy.
That OP was actually pretty disturbing. I don’t know if all the shaking was meant to induce Silent Hill flashbacks or was just the animators not giving a damn.
They’d choose the first one.
If plot swaps don’t count, then they should do gender swaps! Just think: a group of t(w)eenage boys bully and costume rape a teenage girl, and then when she tries to help with their personal issues they go crazy and brutally murder he–WAIT THAT DOESN’T SOUND GOOD AT ALL
Remember this is during K1’s delusion, and he views Rika as the pure and innocent type. So having her be shocked in that scene would actually be more internally consistent.
.
.
…would be an explanation that probably gives Studio Deen too much credit.
That was the first Higurashi opening that just felt like it didn’t belong, it was also the worst thing Higurashi related since the second Season, that is the arc about domestic abuse or whatever happening with Satoko and her dad, I think I was asleep for most of it.
I hope the next 3 episodes do something interesting, I mean… wasn’t this show about loli’s killing each other? Now it’s just full of pedophiles.
I’m happy I’m not the only one who found the OP creepy as hell.
Best mom of 2011 would like to have a word with you: http://nekketsunikki.files.wor.....a-aunt.jpg
> And, of course, I want Studio Deen to make any sort of anime Harry Potter just so we can get Ron feeding Harry yogurt in a special BD episode.
Eh, I’d watch it.
> I really can’t imagine 7th Expansion continuing to milk this when Umineko is dying for an anime adaptation. So is Tsukihime from what I’ve heard.
Well said, those two stories really need to get animated.
Magical Girl Oyashiro Rika?
Im perfectly fine with that. Its not Magical Heart Kokoro-chan, but its fine. September 22 cant come fast enough!
I know this is a moot point, but that is rika washing the windows with has ass, not rena. But like I said, it’s a moot point because that’s actually worse, and someone really should be calling Chris Hansen over this.
Fuck….
