How do you know if it has nothing to do with the storyline? It hasn't come out. For all we know, it could be a better adaptation of the first story arc than the anime.
I think if did right, the movie could be okay. And trust me, if the characters looked the same, they would look utterly ridiculus. Irie looks pretty great actually. |

I don't think making a movie of this is a good idea. Getting across the plot in the time frame allowed by a movie is impossible and while Onikakushi-hen was an excellent start to the series, I'm not sure people unfamiliar with the story can swallow its ending with nothing to follow.
I mean, K1 goes nuts and kills his friends and then himself. Hints at a grand conspiracy are there, but nothing is revealed. THE END. The collective "WTF!?" will be heard in China. The other arcs on the other hand are probably a bit too much for someone not familiar with the series. |

Besides, assuming it isn't terrible, it might help popularize the games, manga or anime. Maybe they'd make it an action movie. |

I don't want to dismiss the movie as a suck-fest, but I'll keep my expectations really, really low for this one. Maybe, I'll make that conclusion when I see it.
Having seen the trash that is the Negima live-action, I wish that the ones who cooked this live-action concept for Higurashi won't follow suit. I don't expect the movie to be totally faithful to the original, but I'm at least hoping that they make it decent. Heck, I have a knack for Asian horror films, and since Onikakushi-hen feels more of a horror, then maybe, it could work. |

I'm usually not pessimist or criticizing before actually watching the said thing but...
What did they have done to Ooishi !? Even TMA pr0n parody was much more convincing... Tomitake is as "good" as TMA's... now for the girls... short hair rika is still a "shocku", but no need to comment on Mion and Rena i guess... (kaii? nein...)
