EDIT: With the help of some gods in 2ch + my own interpretations, here are the ED lyrics...... I think. ---------------------Ending Theme Song - "why, or why not" To get my happiness I have done everything, but have done nothing to be blamed and accused of The sound of footsteps became louder everyday, then I noticed the fact there was no time I was a believer in life, to be myself always and was asking whether I would be alive Give me a reason why not to adapt in this way, or judge me to be guilty of so many incurable sins Tell me why or why not, complaining way too much(?) maybe I overlooked something fatal for me --------------------- ......Wow what's with this babblefish lyric ^^; But they do match Rena perfectly... Mion too. Last edited by Sushi-Y; 2006-04-09 at 02:25. |

I have my cons against fansubbings, but can't they just wait until the CD is released for the actual lyrics and just go ahead and fansub the show? |

It's always been a standard practice to release fansubs with karaoke + translation of the OP/EDs. I guess it just doesn't feel complete without them. A lot of people like to sing to the songs that they like, and without the karaoke, it's impossible for those people who don't know Japanese.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure the English lyrics I posted are 90% accurate, the last two lines were kinda odd though, but that's what they sounded like. |

But in general first episodes take longer to come out precisely because they're formatting the OP / ED. |

EDIT: Perhaps I should make a request to AnimeSuki staff to keep the original japanese title romaji of the series (preferably with the na), if they decide to list it. Last edited by LytHka; 2006-04-11 at 00:07. |

There is not sub for this series yet? I am surprised :^/ .
Of course, with those two ( ) fanning the oven this madly, I don't have much to add except I don't think it is humanly possible for the studio to drop the ball for this story .

Not that I'm saying it'll happen, but Higurashi is probably one of the hardest stories to animate yet. The manga adaptations already had to cut out the "tips", and even then, they're still split up by the chapter and drawn by different mangakas. The anime has to play out each chapter in an incredibly short period of time (only a few episodes for each chapter), WHILE somehow maintaining the tempo (the game can start slow with each new chapter because the fans will have waited for months already, so they can slowly work themselves back into the "mood". The anime can't do that. "Resetting" the story after every couple of episodes will definately ruin the mood for the anime-watchers, not to mention the "wtf?" factor). Also, some contents are more important than others (Himatsubushi, for example, isn't nearly as important as the others), while others overlap, so it's very important to see how well they distribute their resources (episode counts) to cover everything properly. |

One problem is definitely the lack of the TIPS factor, which is also lacking in the manga adaptation. While it may not be needed as the manga does a good job in portraying the creepiness, the TIPS are an important part of giving clues to the reader in the original doujin game. I don't know, perhaps they'll add something on those limited edition first press DVDs.
Another factor that might go wrong is how to maintain the pace. Too quick can make the story seem cheesy, too slow would eat up precious time for an anime slotted for only 2 kur. At the same time, they need to run through five or six chapters for the story, so that makes it all the more difficult. Maybe if this was done by Kyo-Ani, I wouldn't be worried. But then again, being selected to be worthy of Kyo-Ani production itself is an honor www. |

Re:sushi-y, I sent them an email and they now list the two CD-roms on their site. The 19 dollar shipping fee for the first item is a bit steep though...

It's from some group called HKG Fansub Group. I see their releases on simplified chinese bittorrent sites. It seems to be a simplified translation of the introduction to the anime. Lays out what was told to us by the first couple episodes. I think I read the Japanese version on 7th Dimension's website.

Gwah! She's also Maika from Magikano, Nagisa in Strawberry Panic, Mai in Mai Hime (and more importantly for the point I'm about to make, Mai Otome), Misaki in Tactical Roar, Chitose in both seasons of Amaenaideyo, and Yuzui in Utawarerumono (and literally tons of other recent series I'm leaving out). She's BUSY.
More on topic, I actually liked the first episode okay. The comedy wasn't great, but it seems like it's there more to offset the upcoming drama. It has managed to fan my interest in the game.
