I can't help but feel trolled now... Right after Madoka Magica, they give us this.
Higurashi (and Umineko) ---> Madoka Magica which was already compared to Higurashi ---> Higurashi wants in on the Puella Magi business too.
I like it!
I'd actually be satisfied with anything, since I love Higurashi~
Er...though, I sort of feel that this is reaching
creepy levels. A comedy was fine, but now they're really convinced to either:
A. Troll
B. Bring the fandom an overload of moe
C. Both
I go with C.
