It happened March 4th . I was looking for clips of the dubbed season, everything was fine, but some time in the evening, all of the episodes were suddenly taken down, as well as most of the re-uploads from other users. FUNimation locked the Higurashi episodes out of the UK and US (and effectively, the world) on Youtube for some unknown reason. Nobody could access the FUNimation channel for a day due to "country restrictions". It could've been a license issue (has happened before) or a lawsuit, maybe (unlikely though). I've also heard that an issue concerning money cause all past releases and projects to just fall through the bridge. That goes to say that a dubbing of Kai will never exist from FUNimation anymore, for those who never liked subtitles.
