Higurashi Kai (2nd Season) - General Discussion
Those who can read Japanese:
http://d.hatena.ne.jp/moonphase/20061206 For English-only members: http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost...postcount=1024 Ah, the most trusted source of info for upcoming anime, Moonphase!!! C'mon, let it be Kyo-Ani!! Pretty, please~? Info will be posted as more information are released. By now you should all know the term: "If MoonPhase doesn't know, no one knows." Hence, don't bother to ask incessant questions (i.e.: what chapters, is it a remake, etc. etc.) Speculations are of course, welcome. |

If KyoAni takes it then we can rejoice.
Problem is how many episodes would it take to create a great Higurashi. Considering the arcs that we know: For remake, we have got 2 branches. Visual Novel (8 arcs) and PS2 (9 arcs?). 26 episodes=impossible. It would be just the same as DEEN. Animating just Minagoroshi and Matsuribayashi, I think 12-14 episodes would not be enough but I don't know whether 24-26 episodes would be too long. Or KyoAni (I wish) might use the Fumoffu way and did Higurashi Daybreak My wishes: Please no weird face contortions. Please use music from the visual novels. Please do the whole Meakashi Epilogue with Confession as the BGM. Now, who would you want as Hanyuu's seiyuu? I'm dying to hear "Auauau~" in the anime. |

I just wanna see Hanyuu and hear "au au au", that's all. =)
Addendum: Who would you fit Keiichi more than the one we heard? I meant this question for those who have played the games and have a better insight of his personality. All the other VAs were perfect as their characters imo. |

Oh gosh! I'm almost finished watching the current series, and now I'm torn as to whether or not I should read about the un-animated chapters on the forums.
It'd be fantastic if they redid the whole series and made it longer and more fleshed out, though. I have loved watching this show, but I'm hesitant to recommend it, because I don't think I would enjoy it as much without the tips and such being posted at these forums. Oh well. I'm excited about this no matter what. ^^ |

Ah, it would be amazing if KyoAni animated it.~
I do hope that we get Minagoroshi-hen, Taraimawashi-hen, Tsukiotoshi-hen and Miotsukushi-hen. But I won't complain if we get just Minagoroshi-hen and Matsuribayashi-hen. A complete remake would be nice too. Well, let us wait~ |

They did mention the possibility of animating Higurashi, but even if that's the case, considering Kyoani's 2007 schedule, it'll be pretty long wait.
Well, the fact they called it "second series" instead of "second season" is interesting too. Will it really be a remake, I wonder? Satoshi is voiced by Kobayashi Yuu, after all. |

I knew it! I just knew it! If Kanon and Negima got remakes, there would be no way in hell that Higurashi wouldn't get at least a continuation. Remake would probably be best, it will be so nice to see the first series with decent character design.
I doubt we will get Kyoto Animation though, that might be a bit too much to ask for. But hey if that does happen what are the bets that Tomakazu Sugita (SHnY's Kyon) will be the new voice for Keiichi? |

C'mon people. As much as we'd like, KyoAni can't do everything. Anyway, if they get the same director back, I have no qualms with this going to DEEN again. Higurashi's never been about the animation as it is the atmosphere. But, if it goes to a Madhouse or even a BONES, I certainly wouldn't complain.
Absolutely ideally, this would be a 10-13 episode animation of Minagoroshi-hen and Matsuribayashi-hen. I don't see the point in a total remake overhaul, KyoAni Kanon 2006 style. Higurashi only had two major flaws, IMO: animation and incomplete story. Everything else was minor... music (I agree, it wasn't outstanding) to even K1's seiyuu choice (I didn't like him either... nor Satoko.... but everyone else was golden), but none of these are enough to justify a total start-from-the-beginning-again. The big question, IMO, isn't the "who's involved", but the dates. I think the quicker this happens, the better for all involved.

I wonder if they'll be animating the manga side-story arcs:
Onisarashi-hen or Yoigoshi-hen Or the original chapter arcs featured in the PS2 game: Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Matsuri Taraimawashi-hen Tsukiotoshi-hen Miotsukushi-hen |
