This is likely the only review I will every write on this site, and it's going to be a fairly brief one. The reason for this is that people give this show way too much hate. First of all, anyone that watches Higurashi for the gore will not particularly like this OVA. But then again, Higurashi is in no way about the gore; it's about the characters and what they go through. And this fact is exactly why I am giving this an 8/10. Over the course of the series, we have all seen just how much suffering the characters have gone through. Don't youthink they need a reprieve? Do you really think they deserve to go through such hell and not live happy lives afterwards? Next, I've noticed that many of the hateful reviews of Kira are by people who have only seen the first episode. The first episode is pretty much the only episode with immense amounts of fanservice(other episodes only have minor fanservice in the fact that Shion's breasts occasionally Gainax), and that is the entire point of the episode. If you don't like fanservice, then simply skip episode 1. Episode 2 is a parody of the magical girl genre, and fulfills its job well. In my opinion, where this OVA really shines is in the third and fourth episodes. The third episode is a comedic side-story about Mion, Shion, and Rena all vying for Keiichi's love, and it manages to have that signature Higurashi comedy that we all know and love. I won't spoil the ending of the episode, but it elicited more than a few chuckles from me. Episode 4, unlike the other three, is a relatively serious one-shot mainly about Hanyuu and Rika. This episode is considered canon to the series and is definitely worth a watch, even if you do not watch the rest of Kira. The ending even manages to nearly make my eyes water, and I am not one who cries easily. In short, this OVA is nowhere near as bad as people make it out to be(as long as you are a fan of Higurashi for the right reasons(such reasons being things such as the characters, the story, the comedy, the message it gives off, etc.)). I would highly suggest giving it a try, and even if you end up disliking the first episodes, go ahead and finishing it. You will not regret it, trust me.
I love the original Higurashi and find this to be just a composite of fan service scenes that really don't have the same plot or impact. The art is good and theres noting really wrong with fan service but it's a major disappointment if you liked the original series and lacks any real conflict or plot.
Since there are a lot of conflicting viewpoints on this 4 episode OVA, I thought I would just clear things up for those of you who are trying to decide weather or not to watch it: First, let it be noted that there is no gore what so ever in the OVA; something that Higurashi is infamous for. However, if you were only watching Higurashi for its gore, then you were watching it for the wrong reasons, because it's not a show about mindless blood and gore. Higurashi is and has always been about the journey of the characters,the struggles they have had to go through,and their friendship. People who understand that will enjoy SOME of this OVA, but certainly nobody will enjoy all of it. The majority of the hate that this OVA receives comes from people who saw the first episode and then simply refused to continue, and understandably so. Episode 1 of Higurashi Kira is complete and utter garbage that NOBODY should ever have to sit through. They turn the awesome characters of the Higurashi series into mindless vessels for SHAMELESS fan-service that serves no purpose to the true plot, has no side-plot of its own, and is just physically painful for a Higurashi fans to watch. Whatever you do, DON'T watch episode 1. Episode 2 is better then episode 1, but that's not saying much. It's a goofy, over the top, and downright silly parody of the magical girl genre with the Higurashi characters. If you really liked some of the more light-hearted moments of the series and wouldn't mind seeing another full episode dedicated to the writers and animators dicking around, then I suppose this one could be worth your time. It's still not what anybody wanted or expected out of a Higurashi OVA though. Episode 3 is where the OVA starts to redeem itself, with a very solid episode about the romantic/sexual tension in the club that has been present throughout the series, mostly between Mion and Keiichi, but Rena and Shion are involved as well. While I really do not like what they did with Shion in this episode, it is still worth watching as it's a nice change of pace to see the club members experience normal problems for once, and provides a bit of closure as far as the romantic feelings of the club members are concerned. Episode 4 is the true saving grace of the OVA and is definitely worth watching if you are a Higurashi fan. It's a heart-warming story about Rika and Hanyuu and really is just a delight to watch; that's all there is to say. Overall, Higurashi Kira is worth watching for episodes 3 and 4 alone, as true fans of the series will take great pleasure in watching them. Maybe I could recommend episode 2, but holy mother god, words can not describe how horrible episode 1 is. DON'T watch it, but if you do anyway, don't let it turn you off to the rest of the OVA.
As the latest addition to the Higurashi-franchise, this OVA follows in the footsteps of the two less-serious and more comical arcs from Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei. Aside from the usual comic relief, this time there was further emphasis on fan-service, mainly seen during the first episode. In today's market it isn't surprising to see such content surface in the Higurashi-franchise, though evidently many Higurashi fans don't quite fit in the moe-loving masses, targeted by said content. In short, if the intriguing story or the splatter-filled scenes from the original work are what you're after, you'll have to look elsewhere. But if you wishto take a further look at the peaceful and comic side of Hinamizawa and the lives of our original characters, this OVA is probably worth your time. To make this review just a bit review-like, I'd like to say something about the actual properties in regard to which I was supposed to rate this OVA. 3 out 4 episodes can be considered pure comic relief, so the story exists mainly to make you laugh - a fait accompli, at least in my case. The final episode differs from the rest in this aspect, and has a slightly more meaningful plot, taking a little peak at the past of one of the characters. The art-style, animation and soundtrack are all satisfying at the least, given the genre. Characters are the same as in the previous works, though this time around we get to see more of their comical, playful and ordinary sides. I myself enjoyed this piece, and in my opinion it provides a fitting sort of a continuation to the way things ended in Matsuribayashi-hen. It's nice to see how Rika and company get to finally enjoy a normal everyday life, after experiencing a hundred or so years of recurring death and violence. Do recommend for all those wishing to see more of the "ordinary", serene Hinamizawa, or simply have a good laugh.
The first episode was honestly a disgrace. It made the whole anime seem like a mindless fanservice anime. Although, continue watching. Each episode, it gets better. The ending episode, and the episode before that, are extremely awesome. Any Higurashi fan should watch this, even with the horrible first episode. The animation quality is high, and the sound quality is too. The opening theme song is a little odd, considering the other three openings were much darker, but, it's sort of a nice change of pace. Thanks for reading, hope you enjoy Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kira!
If you liked Higurashi no naku koro ni, I reccomand that you won't watch Higurashi no naku koro ni kira. It's not horror, it's not scary, it's shoujo, and highly pervert. This series made me sick. They turned Keichi into a sick pervert who imagine all the girls doing really degrading punishment games, like cleaning windows with their butt. And Rika chan and Satoko chan as magical girls? Excuse me but I have to throw up. If you gonna watch it, just remember, I warned you.
Around 4 years ago I was one of those people who watched the 1st episode of Kira, gave it a rating of 2 and wrote a review bashing it immensely. Feeling nostalgic lately I've decided to re-watch and complete the series, coming to the realisation that Kira is actually a very fitting conclusion to the Higurashi saga. While the 1st episode still aims to deliver more fanservice than an avid fan of this series would ever expect to see, it still does so in that creepy mysterious Higurashi way. Many would argue still that it is not the best way to start off a new instalmentof a series that mainly focused on drama and the horrific hardships of its characters. However, all of it is done with Higurashi's creepy aura intact and makes perfect sense. It is not as bad as a lot of people (myself included) made it out to be at the time of its release. Likewise the second episode, though wacky, never derails from Higurashi's main themes. Parallel worlds, mystical fogs that turn Hinamizawa's inhabitants into murderous lunatics etc. It's still all here, albeit under a different packaging. However the third and fourth episodes are the real highlight of Kira and in my opinion constitute what I'd consider to be one of the best endings to an anime saga ever made. The third episode touches upon something that we've all known existed since Higurashi's ancient times. The immense sexual tension between Keiichi, the twins and Rena. To have an entire Higurashi episode focused on that aspect alone is a godsend because while present, that sexual tension was never acknowledged by the characters in all the previous series. Now, with the curse broken and Hinamizawa saved, Keiichi and the girls can't dance around the issue any more. It's a hot summer, both parties are really thirsty and it's time to make something happen. Hilarity ensues. If I was to rate each episode individually, the fourth one would deserve a 10. It is truly a heart-warming conclusion to everything that has happened in Higurashi since the beginning. The episode focuses on the bond between Rika and Hanyuu with a very nostalgic and emotional twist. It's hard to describe it without spoiling the plot but what I can say is that it will take the viewer to the very beginning and back again, rewarding them for having made it this far in the series. You've watched all the horrific suffering the characters go through in Higurashi to uncover the truth and this is the episode that will make you smile and release a sigh of relief. As for art and sound, they remain unchanged from all the previous releases. Same style, though the quality may have improved a little. Same VAs, same music straight from Higurashi's OST so you feel at home. Same old Higurashi. All things considered, Kira is a very good follow up to Higurashi Rei and in fact the whole saga. The first two episodes might not be the serious Higurashi we know but then again, the main story arc has ended so they don't have to be. They're a decent break from all the batshit crazy stuff that usually went down in the past. Episode 3 is what we've all wanted to see at some point and 4 is a masterful conclusion to the series. Kira is a must watch for any Higurashi fan. Thanks for reading. 8 points.
Not...As...Bad...As...Everyone...Says...It...Is... The only reason that I gave this any form of 1 was because it had no story. As the writer of the original series said. You need to put in some comedy with the depressing and disturbing stuff. It keeps the viewers attention. And with a new disturbing arc and a few more seasons covering the other outcomes that the player of the games could have gotten. I really enjoyed this arc. Even though it doesn't take the same disturbing feeling of the other three seasons. It felt good to have it here. And how could you people not expect Ryukishi07 to put this into action.
While it is true that Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kira is far more light-hearted than any of the other installments, with the exception of the second episode, (which I just think of as Hanyu screwing with Rika’s dreams like she has been known to do) they all fit perfectly well with the Higurashi world built through Ni, Kai and the first OAV. Even the second episode still had the same feeling as the others and it was nice to see the two boys finally get some screen time together. The series of disasters have ended, Rika and everyone else is safe. I think they’veearned some fun! I would strongly suggest watching the first OAV before watching this or you will be lost during the first episode. Also, please remember that even Higurashi Ni had some fan-service moments. By no means will the viewer be constantly bombarded with images of bouncing boobs. I only counted less than ten for the entire four episodes. The biggest (no pun intended) offender was Shion. If you enjoy bouncing back and forth between genres like I do, if you enjoy the occasional harem anime (as long as the fan-service isn’t crazy gratuitous), and if you are not a complete purist, you will enjoy this anime. Just take it in the spirit it was intended… a fun watch. This probably won’t be your favorite anime, and if you think harem animes are horrible, if you only stick to one genre, and if you want to see an anime where everyone has a fun time then someone dies, go re-watch the first or second season. This installment of Higurashi is much more episodic than any of the others. None of them have anything to do with the previous episode. However, they each tell a story. The best story-telling episode (and the least humorous) was the fourth one. Except for the first episode (which was funny but I really couldn’t tell what the heck was going on), each episode had a different story to tell and told it rather well I thought. The art was a little more “cutsie” than some of the other Higurashi installments and I did have a few problems with one of the characters from the fourth episode, but all in all, it was standard Deen art, absolutely beautiful. I loved how clean the lines were in this one! The sound fit the anime quite well. The opening and ending songs were VASTLY different from any other Higurashi, but, then again, so was this installment! Both songs were catchy and I can’t get the opening song out of my head! I loved the piano music that came in at certain points and the sound was certainly up to Higurashi standards. The main characters haven’t changed one bit. Keiichi is still a perverted dependable guy (lol), Rena and Rika are the same, Mion and Shion don’t change. If you haven’t watched the first OAV you will not get the conduct of the Chief Inspector, Irea, and the photographer that I am not looking up a name for. The grandmother gets a truly adorable part that had me almost crying with laughter. I truly enjoyed this anime. Just don’t start watching this expecting classic Higurashi. This is just everyone having a good time, beginning to grow up, and looking back on the past and acknowledging their long, hard journey for what it was, worth it.
~ Nipaa! ~ For goodness' sake. There seems to be sea of angry reviewers patrolling Kira around the clock. Simply put, don't get into a 4 episode OVA expecting a vivid and meaningful addition to a franchise's story - now that's one to write down if you can't remember. Higurashi is a franchise that i simply adore - Ni Kai making its way to my #3 spot... The mystery, the depth, immersion, horror, and the unexpected twists allowed me to become enveloped in a story far exceeding my expectations. Kira is quite the contrast, as for the most part: it covers a much more controversial, playful and nonsensical aspectof life in Hinamizawa. It's downright dumb to criticize this OVA for being unlike the rest of the Higurashi's animeography - as this is quite clearly the point. *Actual Review* It doesn't take long for anyone to realize that Yes, Kira is dumb. It's shallow for the most part. It bears no real relevance to the rest of the story. It's full of fanservice. The episodes don't connect. It majors in comedy, and usually reflects a carefree, uplifting atmosphere... The polar opposite of Higurashi's reputation as a psychological horror fest. "How ironic, how refreshing" I personally say... From a technical standpoint, as opposed to a personal one, i'm basically forced to kick Kira down to around 5 or 6 to conform to my normal style, and make MAL's rigid rating structure work for me - because the stories would technically require a lot more elaboration to function even remotely well alongside Ni and Ni Kai, the soundtrack is generic, the characters are expanded upon - a bit, but only in the concluding episode, and it obviously didn't carry that big blockbuster impact; prominent in the show's previous seasons... BUT THAT'S ENOUGH NEGATIVITY! Contrary to my previous points; i'm going to snap out of robot reviewer mode (a lot of people seem to forget how to do this), and say that Kira was actually a pleasure to watch. Alike every other Higurashi fan, prior to watching Kira, the show has always been shrouded in a mist of "seriousness", and a brilliant though "weighty" atmosphere that lead me to doubt that there would ever be a pure, happy and silly part to the show or the characters - without SOMETHING looming just ahead. For me, Kira put these doubts to rest, and i can appreciate the creator's intentions to bring forth a much more lighthearted array of aspects to the show - though i must say that fanservice is never really called for... I laughed, a lot. The complete lack of belonging in this "mini-series" compared to the rest of the show never ceased to amuse me. Watching Kira is like watching the result of the directors uncut, wild ideas and thoughts - though instead of him cooping them up and keeping Higurashi under that reputable curtain of "seriousness" (i dislike that word), the animator, and all of the voice actors are actually standing right behind him, insisting that they do it anyway "for a laugh", "a little, completely unrelated tribute" - and that's exactly what Kira became. It's a change of pace, and as an OVA, it's most definitely NOT to be taken deadly seriously. Kira brings forth a refreshing, though arguably unorthodox side to Higurashi for the most part. Think of it as the complimentary mint to your exquisite main course that is Ni and Ni Kai - you can choose to take it or leave it, because it's really only exists to appease your curiosity as to "what would Higurashi be like if there was no death?". The creators obviously realized that their show had become insanely popular, and renowned as a heavy-going, psychological anime... So is it really SUCH a crime that they wanted to make you think twice as to "do i REALLY know Higurashi inside and out?" I think it's safe to say that they just wanted to experiment. To add a little extra in order to provoke the thoughts of the masses, and just generally leave you with a "good" (by which i mean happy (and contrasting) - which doesn't actually imply it being good) "taste in your mouth". SO TO ANSWER THE QUESTION OF: SHOULD I WATCH IT? I ask you this... "Are you a "True" fan of all things Higurashi?" (A) - No. I say that i am, and I REALLY loved Ni and Ni Kai, but the thought of nonsensical comedy and lightheartedness in a one-off Higurashi OVA sickens me. (B) - Yes. I REALLY loved Ni and Ni Kai, and as long as this nonesnsical comedy doesn't interfere directly with my beloved story, i'd happily accept a little one-off "Silly" OVA. (C) - No. Higurashi was lame. MARK SCHEME... If you answered (C) - then why are you here, and why are you reading... creeper! *oops, the rest of the mark scheme was torn up by Takano, when she jumps into a monster and started using its destructive laser eyes (you'll see if you watch Kira)* I think it's pretty obvious as to which audience should give Kira a try, and i'll let you work that one out yourself. Thanks for reading up to this point, i appreciate it, and man this is a much longer review than i had anticipated. On that note, i bid you farewell! ~ She'll use her butt! ~
Ok so I'm an all around fan of higurashi and with that out I love the characters and the happy go lucky times just as much as the creepy side. I enjoyed this as I could see more of the characters I love. So if you want some great story as an expansion to the originals you wont find it here but rather a series of silly things Rika Keichi etc. Do.
Ok, lots of people hate this joke (up to episode 2) series, but wasn't the fun/cute/comical side of Higurashi pretty much half of it? Whatever, despite what other people may say, this series (so far) has been great. Remember the first episode of Rei? With the speedos? Well, the first two episodes of Kira far out-strip it. Note how I use strip. Anywhow, I'm sure you all have suspicions about the claims that the first episode is hentai-esque, allow me to explain why. It's Keiichi and the Soul Brothers talking about taking advantage of the punishment games on the rest of the club, I find thatpretty self-explanatory seeing how Keiichi is... well... perverted. Don't go into Kira expecting any plot, there might be some in later entries to the series, but so far it's just been comedy. Now, the art. As anyone that watched the previous series' episodes know, the art was pretty poor in that it was simplistic and boring. Since then it has been seriously improved so it can actually be described as art, the only issue in the art is the opening and a rare few scenes, which consist of poorly looped/mirrored animations and, although subtle, can look particularly bad. Story-wise it has everything a comedy needs, and that's exactly what Kira has been so far, a comedy. A great one at that too. And the characters, well you should know the characters from the previous series (if not then get watching) and while it may just be down to preference, I know that myself and many other people love them. Basically, how much you'll enjoy this installment to Higurashi is down to how much you enjoyed the joke episodes of Rei and the happy side of the first 2 series.
I'd rather claw my own throat out than watch this again. I'm just going to have to rate this based on memory. Which sucks because I never wanted to think about this again. Look, I get it. It's not the main series. It's supposed to be a breath of fresh air for the characters. Getting killed over and over kinda sucks. So hey, happy stuff. ... Oh for heaven's sake just give me a beach episode, anything but THIS. This is not how you handle a happy version of Higurashi. Which I would like, by the way. These characters are great. I love these guys. Fantasticchemistry between them, they're cute, funny - there's good potential for a slice of life comedy there. BUT NO NO, WE GET CURRY DISASTER I GOTTA LIVE WITH THIS, MAN. I GOTTA LIVE WITH THE MEMORIES OF MAGICAL GIRL RIKA AND EVIL WHATEVER HELL IT WAS. THIS EXPERIENCE HAS LEFT ME WITH NOTHING BUT CONFUSION AND DISGUST AND HATRED, and gas Who's idea was this!? Was is you, Ryukishi07? Cause I' ve had it up to here with you, man! Stop licking toads, because this is what happens! Ugh...well at least it wasn't the worst thing I've seen. Pretty close, but not the worst. And at least it didn't completely ruin the characters like Gou and Sotsu did. Pros? I dunno... I guess the OP isn't the worst thing ever, it's fine I guess. And I did enjoy hearing tiny Hanyuu end every sentence with Hanyuu. Cons? This shows existance, Hanyuu. Now if you excuse me, I'm going to inject crushed up anime figures into my veins until the pain numbs, Hanyuu.
I can't believe that the only two written reviews here are actually portraying this tripe in a positive light. This is NOT Higurashi. This is shameless whoring out of characters whose stories have been told and done for years now. The disgustingly blatant fanservice, complete destruction of characters that fans have come to know and possibly love, sickly full of purposefully added discontinuity, and absolutely tasteless. In fact, it was so bad that those being introduced to the series by this awful chunk of OVAs may be turned off to what a great series the original was in the first place. It's not even remotelyrepresentative of the original. If you enjoyed this dreadful smudge on the Higurashi name, there is something seriously wrong with you. If you want fanservice, there are plenty of other outlets out there, far more decent than this tripe. If you want magical girls, by all means, go watch Sailor Moon or Tokyo Mew Mew, or maybe even Madoka Magica. Hell, if you're looking for a fanservicey magical girl show maybe Cutie Honey or something will do the trick. If you want something with a decent plot and a cast of characters more shallow than the kiddie pool on a cold winter's night, then stay very, very clear of this nonsense.
All 4 of these OVAs are standalone episodes and very different from one another. Some are good and some bad, so I'll give my brief thoughts on each. The first OVA is pretty funny, but it starts to drag on after a while. Only watch it if you want to see some kinda unusual Higurashi fan service. The second OVA has a couple interesting/funny moments, and you see a cute little fairy Hanyuu, but it also got boring at times. I would only watch this to say that you completed the pack of OVAs. The third OVA is somewhat romantic and funny. It should be able to keepyour interest throughout. The fourth OVA is a must watch! It is cute, sad, and mysterious, and it really helps you appreciate all the other Higurashi you've seen! If I was rating just the fourth OVA I'd give it an 8, 9, or 10.
That was an ok anime The first episode is clear shit, it is just ecchi shit without any plot, no comedy, no enjoyment, this is why a lot of reviews are that bad.... the second episode had a little more plot, reminded me of sailor moon! the 3rd dealt with the romance and it was quite funny! and the last was my favourite it was super cute and we got to see really young Rita which was adorable! If you enjoyed Higurashi for its characters and its cutenes and not just its gore, give it a go (but feel free to skip episode 1, it is not evenrelated to anything else!)
Ok...before I review this anime, let me get this straight. This ain`t a "Terrible" "Whoo-Hoo" higurashi anime, this ain`t "1/10" anime, and I didn`t agree why this anime given 1/10 because is anime was Deen's anniversary? or they did it to please the fans? or is it for anime who wish to enjoy bringing back horror elements? I think it is a anime that is made just for fun, more like comedy episodes, and if you know how the Higurashi comedy style was, this one, feels a bit rough than Rei episodes, but Rei was more light-hearted. Rei is a lesser version of ecchiness, Kira into nextstage, thats what I can sums up of this anime. Did I enjoy this anime? Well pretty mixed, sometimes I like but sometimes its unnecesary to put that content. Art and design, is "Deen" ok. "Deen" tries to make ecchi content but kinda failed, and I think Rei is even better, like they did on Episode 1 OVA. To sums up, its just a "fanservice". Nothing else. I a bit mixed feeling about fanservice Deen was, but this one is a bit less promising. So yea, it just average. 5/10 1/10? - watch Pupa.
these 4 ova´s all have something different so im going to recommend each individually ova 1 - 0/10 do not recommend. Its ecchi and it makes me feel uncomfortable ova 2 -8/10 recommend. its a magical girl parody with satoko and rika, i live for it. it just has some plot holes. i love magical girls and i had a blast with this ova 3 -8/10 strongly recommend. its a romace anime parody with keichi and the older trio of girl being in a love traingke with a amazing twist at the end. it is a bit fast paced and i dont care for shionabadoning her man satoshi like that but ova 4 -10/10 you have to watch this. if you dont want to watch the other three at least watch this one. it is about hanyuu finding a young rika who time travelled into the futere and trying to get her home. It is very wholesome and great at re-establising the bond between rika and hanyuu
This Anime is great, i do not recommend it. Unless you are a really big fan of the originals and like trash humor, you may wounder why do an OVA like this even exists? Well, one of the key reasons why Higurashi stands up in the terror genre is how the story telling makes you feel atached to the characters, specially in the VN, when a character dies you feel sad because someone you like died, when a character is the culprit you feel betrayed because it was your friend. This friendship that breaks the 4th wall is build throghout the series, but when the final episodecames, it is all gone, the characters live happly ever after(*), but you don't get to see them again. Higurashi Kira is an opportunity to enjoy the slice of life of hinamizawa without having to worry with Oyashiro's curse. If you are a big higurashi fan and enjoyed the series, specially the VN, you defnetly will enjoy this OVA. The humor is built around fan services and internal jokes, thus again you must be a big fan to enjoy it. I liked it, butI can understand who hated it. If you wonder if you should watch just ask yourself "Am I a hardcore higurashi fan?"
