No, time slot was changed a little.
Unfortunately, this was done before hell broke out, so no, it doesn't mean anything.

Actually that's talking about how the episode will start 15 minutes late, and was probably posted before news of the murder even broke. Look throughout that page and you'll see it's not that uncommon.

EDIT: Beat

Sounds like it was only pushed back 15 minutes.

There isn't any minagoroshi-hen manga at all.
Minagoroshi-hen(for the game) has its first 7 chapters translated (with the prologue included).

Also the thing is, how do you explain the part in the recent past where one elementary student killed her own classmate, then I heard that doll making companies have already made dolls and other products about this killer. Nobody got into any trouble. So why now? Hypocritical? Ironic?

Chibi_Faerie · 2007-09-21, 21:55

I was just looking around some news sites, wondering has anything else been officially said about what happened...?Any further idea as to why she did what she did...? Or is the media to the point they don't care and just want to bash anime...? I'm quite disappointed, I cant believe I once wanted to be a journalist... Oh yeah while looking I stumbled across something, this isn't the only ax murder, in fact maybe the press should look at this other particular incident. A girl axed her mother last year in New Zealand, maybe this girl in Kyoto heard about it while trying to decide what to do about her adulterer father...? If thats what it was, as we haven't been given any more real news still. Maybe the media should steer their attention away from anime and look at their own articles, on tv, on the net, oh wait that'd mean if they put an end to these things they'd be out of a job, silly me...

Oh and if I sounded angry at all I'm not, I was miffed at how it was being handled at first, though understood putting off the airing for a bit, now I'm just sitting here rather wondering how it's going to end. In the long run I'll just buy the game and get those patches to find out what happens ff I can't wait for the release of dvds.

Aisling · 2007-09-21, 22:06

Rumor has it that Tokai TV has canned HiguKai completely. Let's hope it's not so...we'd have to wait for DVD release.

We didn't even get a NICE BOAT like School Days.

Sterling01 · 2007-09-21, 22:10

But we did get NICE COOK

sezen_atacan · 2007-09-21, 22:26

It would make a lot more sense if these shows are placed in the "Hentai" category and showed at 2:30am in the morning or something. Cutting the show is way to overkill. The "Hentai" category is meant to place all responsibilities on the viewer being 18+ isn't it?

Something similar was done with Negima too I heard it was given a high rating and showed very late at night because of heavy ecchi.

I know rating regular shows as "hentai" may be too much, but cutting it all together is non-sensical, its not fair to the 18+ audience who can make their own judgements.

Um.. I didn't get the punchline with "NICE COOK", "NICE FOOD" and "NICE BOAT" can you tell me the joke?

I think it's great that a show that many people are watching illegally has its legal avenue of viewing pretty much unofficially cactus (until further notice). Fun times to be had by all.

Most anime that is not aimed primarily at kids is shown after midnight actually, including Higurashi. That said, if kids want to watch violence that much, instead of staying late they could simply watch prime time news bulletins or mainstream action movies anyway.

This may come to a surprise to you, but most anime shows are shown after midnight.

Animaker9 · 2007-09-21, 23:23

Hi everyone, I came here today because of this incident... it really sucks that a good anime like Higurashi would end up like this, you know, if that girl really liked Higurashi, then why didn't she caught the messaege in it "when something bad happens you must talk about it" I learned many things by viewing Higurashi.

Many years ago, here in Mexico, a TV network "TV Azteca" aired a show, that talked about "The evil of Anime" they really messed up everything, in our elementary school the teachers took away our pokemon games, trading cards... everything, even the other TV networks stopped airing anime for some time, I almost went crazy!!! I think that some people love to attack something that is succesfull to destroy it, well, maybe the incident was a little similar but come on! I've watched violent anime for years and I don feel like I want to kill anybody, I think that it has more to do with family values and that kind of stuff. well we'll just have to wait...

Let us pray for Higurashi

VRMN · 2007-09-21, 23:24

Yeah, sezen_atacan, Higurashi Kai's normal broadcast time on KBS Kyoto is 2:30 in the morning.

Mr Fist · 2007-09-22, 02:21

Oh my god, I came in here hoping to see the discussions of Ep 12 and now they're not showing it.

I'm feeling tense now. Will they ever show the episodes ever? Or is there still the chance of another TV station playing it?

Cruel · 2007-09-22, 02:28

More importantly will they ever show another Higurashi episode again? :/

I don't think things will be cooling down the way we want them to be. If and whenever that does happen...

MarthX · 2007-09-22, 05:52

kj1980, what do you think the chances are of Sun, Chibia or Saitama television airing it in 2 days? Is the incident still a big deal and on everybody's mind? Has it cooled down any?
