Damn this computer and inablity to display japanese.

I wonder if they're going to do THAT arc Or maybe a crossover with Umineko

For those that have watched the episode as it aired, what this event included in the anime? I don't want anything else spoiled, but my curiosity is killing me.

Running the article through Google translator indicates that information regarding the content of the show has yet to be released. I too found this to be quite surprising. They could animate some of the side stories, such as Yoigoshi-hen or Onisarashi-hen but wouldn't they feel rather disjointed if they were aired back to back?

That really surprised me. If that is a fact and not a joke, then I'm a bit surprised. Maybe it was requested by the author to include the true end to the story?

I guess it would be Saikoroshi-hen, Hirukowashi-hen, Utsutsukowashi-hen, and Miotsukushi-hen

I'm kind of hoping they don't do a 3rd season, as it would kind of break the flow.

アニメ『ひぐらしのなく頃に』第3期制作決定！

スタッフさん 02:52　カテゴリ [ お知らせ ]
アニメ『ひぐらしのなく頃に』第3期の制作が決定しました。詳しい情報は未定です。決まり次第、発表いたし ます。2008年も『ひぐらしのなく頃に』をよろしくお願いします。 ★スタッフA★ ]


hmmm

I wonder if it will be some extra stuff from the manga like utsutsukowashi, yoigoshi, onisarashi...

If it is something like this, now that everyone knows the mysteries and culprits, these stories will lose a part of their impact

The same goes for the PS2 arcs

I can only imagine saikoroshi-hen (there's not much stuff here to fill many episodes, at most, 3 or 4 eps)

Other than that, all they can do is make a comedy anime using stuff from drama-cd's, manga's one-shots, higurashi daybreak or comedic stuff that was in the original novels and did not make into the anime

Wow, a third season? I think nobody saw that coming...

Anyways I would like it they animated the arcs from Higurashi Rei or the new arcs from the PS2 game. I don't know japanese so anything is profit! =)

Hell yeah.

This was one hell of a surprise.

WHAT A TWIST!

Fingers crossed for anime adaptation of Miotsukushi-hen.

Brilliant news about the third season, though don't you think most of this posts about it belong in a third season thread?

third season :OOOOOOOOO

that made my year! :heh:

Can't believe this will be the last episode of season 2 T_T

I was really sad to know I wouldn't have anymore Higurashi every saturday. But now...

Best Christmas + Birthday News \o/

^ oh i know, best crimbo evvahh!

Higurashi ftw :kisskiss:

Lol, am i the only one that is REALLY excited :heh::heh::heh::heh::uhoh:

wow i newer saw that coming

No way, I'm sooooooooooo excited too! XD I'm so happy it's not over yet ;)

Wow! I am pretty shocked to say the least.

yes yes here too!! :) i'm really really happy it's not over yet, because i love this anime very very much. ... but i wonder, what the story will be like.

edit: argh, i mean the story, not the anime -__-;! i love the story itself, not the anime lol.

I'm hoping for a reworked, 12 epsiodes of Tatarigoroshi-hen :heh:

From the way it is going, they might be doing another Yakusamashi-hen-ish arc to include all the stuff that they have been taken out...

Somehow I highly doubt it (and may get flammed for?), if they don't have enough to work with they'll make up new arcs? I don't know; just a thought.

I didn't expect this to happen.

But why not?^^

How about hirukowashi-hen. :D
