Not really concerning you guys, but...
Editions Anima, the french editor which has licenced Higurashi for the french community in Europe has finally released the first 2 dvd covers :
not really too sure about them, but they are based on the official covers anyway (though i don't get why they used the 9th cover for the second one...)
the lil subtitle below of the original title is...
Hinamizawa, le village maudit
which is translated in english in :
Hinamizawa, the cursed village
frankly... i dunno if i should cry or laugh about this...
French Trailer
Warning : DON'T watch it if you didn't finish the first 8 episodes. why is that? because they moronicly add a hell lot of spoilers in that trailer.
"stream" :

OGG (don't ask why they choose this encoding...). use righ-click, and "save the target as". DON'T direct click it, it won't work :

Translation, for you, doomed non-french curious :
-a cursed village...
-wild Murders...
-a secret...
-welcome to...
-Hinamizawa, the cursed village
frankly, i was speechless, and now i can say something : i fear the worst.
the title is completely out of the whack (in fact, it reminds me of some low amateur undead movies, etc), the site is in a pretty bad shape, and the trailer is completely uninteresting and really spoilerish...
and on the top of that... french dub... this is bad
