In all...... GO FANSERVICE!.....HAHAHAhaa....Thats all you can really say.
Anyway I look forward to seeing the new opening.

EDIT: New opening fills me with nostalgia. Features Rika like "Naraku no Hana" did. Not as many lyrics as both of the preceding openings though. I liked it.

Awesome episode! Loved like every minute of it. <3
The new OP & ED animations are soo pretty~ I'm addicted to the OP!

A whole episode with fanservice as i expected but...it's still not good as a real comedy somehow, though there's a lot of hilarious scenes.
Well, the strong point of higurashi's not the comedy but i still liked the episode anyways :rolleyes:

ITS OUT !! YES ****ING FINALLY ! BUT... waitin on subs =/

:/ ....

I am a loss for words for the Soul Brothers scene.







Anyway,the ova was a 10/10 with me :)

That was really much funnier than I thought it was going to be. Really looking forward to Saikoroshi more than this, but as an appetizer of sorts, it's great. I can't understand Japanese well enough to have been able to appreciate it fully, but I was laughing plenty nonetheless.



I'm not huge on fanservice for the sake of fanservice, but every once in a while is fine. And this was done well. 9/10

Where does the OVA occur time wise?

How to discern non linear time line?

Before Minagoroshi.

Well, the preview does allude to Saikoroshi-hen... Which probably means we won't see an adaptation of Daybreak.

How many episodes is this scheduled for? 3?

There's total 5 episodes. Ep 1's released, so there will be more 4 episodes for Saikoroshi-hen. The final ep will be a adaption of Daybreak as they promised ;)

..

Ah, interesting to hear.

Which Daybreak scenario will they use though?

Sorry for my silly mistake, there's only 3 episodes for Saikoroshi-hen, the other one's for Hirukowashi. (If you want to know more about this chapter, you can use the wikipedia)

The assumption is they will use Rena's Daybreak scenario, but I guess we won't know until something like August.

As for this episode....it was better than I hoped.

Certainly, the art was a MASSIVE upgrade even from Kai... Though I question the choice of Shion's two-piece.

Given the fact that Rena swallowing the magatama is what starts the fun insanity in Daybreak to begin with, it figures it would be the one used. And I know, Shipping is Bad, but Mion and K1's scenario would be fun as well.
