Still, I guess there's no need to think too much about Himatsubushi-hen, since there won't be a Minagoroshi-hen anyway. |

Hmm, i was just wondering..
Do you ever get to see the Akasaka's character design in the game at all? The main reason i ask is because in the fan book i've got, you don't see him.. its just a black shade around his character.

In the game inbetween every other cut-scene appears the TIPs.
These TIPs are information (support, or unsupported) that give you insight of certain elements in the story. Many times they are written through a different person pt of view other than the main characters. They are there to help you solve the mystyery. It's up to you however to decided which TIPs are worth it's value. |

anyhow, i had an actual question: do the character designs vary much from the games to the manga to the anime? or did they make it a point of keeping the designs constant? (i guess i'm thinking in terms of other game to anime series where the characters looked quite different) ALSO, more importantly: Can someone post the titles of all the chapters with the RED part of the word displayed?... as in the series title "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni" or the chapter title "Tatarigoroshi-hen" They do put a part of each chapter title in red, too... right? i'm not just making that up, am i? is this relevant?

I can't find any on cdjapan or amazon.co.jp, or perhaps I am not looking in the right place. Also, do these require Japanese Windows? |

Himeyashop.com has lots of Dojin stuff, inclusive Higurashi, however their shipping prices are enourmous, so unless you're doing a bigger order its usually not completely worthwhile. Also: I've heard a horror story about one of their shipments but that may just be a one time thing and the mail's fault.
As for your question concerning japanese windows: Depends entirely on your version of windows. With XP, 2000, NT and ME you can download language packs directly from windows update that inlude japanese text support. Then just set your system language to japanese before you start playing and all the text would show up fine. Otherwise the game will run but you wont be ablr to see any text... kind of pointless to play higurashi without text tho.. I keep wanting to order but my japanese is essentially nonexistant.. so looking up every single word would be quite problematic. I would love to see the translation project go ahead, if they do it like the touhou translations and require ownership of the original, but provide a patch thatll work with that ^^ |

That particular vote was the 4th official Higurashi popularity vote held on the game's official site (07th Storming Party), and took place between March 28th - April 8th 2006. Rena used to be on top, back during the 1st popularity vote. But by the time Tatarigoroshi-hen came out, the spotlight has shifted to Mion, Keiichi and Satoko. By the time Meakashi and Tsumihoroboshi-hen came out, Keiichi and Mion was pushed up to become the top two (to be fair, since Tsumihoroboshi-hen is Rena's story, she did manage to climb up from 4th in the 2nd pop. vote to 3rd in the 3rd pop. vote). In Minagoroshi-hen, everyone pretty much got an important role (especially Keiichi). In comparison, Rena sort of fell back to being a support character again, and so it was reflected in the 4th popularity vote. Quote:

Palet Mail has them for cheaper, but their order process is a little more complicated. You don't need the JP version of windows, but you do need to have Japanese language support (downloadable from microsoft's site). You may also need to set your system language/region settings to Japanese. |

*Is confused*
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai is what arc(s) exactly? Is it just the first answer arc? On the same note, the game in the following link http://www.paletweb.com/selectpage.asp?code=9900000423 Is just the first question arc, right? X_X |

The "question" chapters (Higurashi no Naku Koroni) are: - Onikakushi-hen - Watanagashi-hen - Tatarigoroshi-hen - Himatsubushi-hen The "answer" chapters (Higurashi no Naku Koroni Kai) are: - Meakashi-hen - Tsumihoroboshi-hen - Minagoroshi-hen - Matsuribayashi-hen Refer to kj's post here for the game's past releases and packagings: http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost...93&postcount=7 Remember, the latest disk for each arc will always contain the latest chapter PLUS all previous chapters in the arc. The paletweb link you gave was for the Himatsubushi-hen disk, which contains all 4 question arc chapters. The current latest "answer" chapter is Minagoroshi-hen (released on 12/30/05), which contains itself + Meakashi and Tsumihoroboshi-hen. The next and final chapter will be released at Comiket70 on August 13th. It will contain Matsuribayashi-hen, the concluding chapter of the game, as well as all the previous answer chapters. I hope that's clear enough. |

ah, well... all the Higurashi Chapter Titles follow this pattern:
(Kanji 1)(Kanji 2)(shi / し) 1) 鬼隠し Onikakushi 2) 綿流し Watanagashi 3) 祟殺し Tatarigoroshi 4) 暇潰し Himatsubushi 5) 目明し Meakashi 6) 罪滅し Tsumihoroboshi 7) 皆殺し Minagoroshi 8) 祭囃し Matsuribayashi *) 鬼曝し Onisarashi (Kinda like a Tatarigoroshi followup) *) 猫騙し Nekodamashi (I heard it's focused on the comedy - haven't read it) *) 宵越し Yoigoshi (Takes place in present day Hinamizawa to replace Minagoroshi hen for its manga counter-part) The first 8 are the Sound Novel Series. The * ones are extra chapters found in Manga format. Only the first 6 will be animated. So far the anime has always made the second kanji in red. Does it have any significance? Probably not as the Sound Novel does not follow this pattern. I also do not know what importance the red な in ひぐらしのなく頃に besides Ryukishi 07 stressing it is an integral part of the title. |

This series is making me want to buy the question and answer chapters just incase I ever learn japanese or a translation patch is released. This game might be the reason I learn japanese... Though I'll definatly be spoiled for the last two chapters by the time I get to play them.

o 猫殺し Nekogoroshi Nekogoroshi isn't really a manga, but a short story with illustrations. Half of it is indeed light-hearted comedy, but the second half features some serious contents too. |

Isn't there another novel too? Taking place at another high shcool in Shishibone years before the wonderful events in Hinamizawa? |
