Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei: Saikoroshi-hen 1

Saikoroshi-hen, a.k.a. ‘Dice-Killing Chapter’.  In the more serious OVA installment of one of my favorite series of all time, this episode continues with the events of Matsuribayashi-hen, with Keiichi and company breaking the cycle in Hinamizawa.  Of course, Rika had to go and screw things up.

Oddly enough, I wasn’t TOO thrilled by this installment, but I think I can explain it away as them laying ‘groundwork’ for the future.  There’s a lot to talk about before anything big can happen, so for the moment, it seems best to just sit back, and wait for the continuation of the story…

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei: Hajisarashi-hen

YAY MORE HIGURASHI!  And it’s a fun chapter too!  I believe it’s from a light novel that came boxed with Higurashi Matsuri, but someone correct me if I’m wrong.  Anyway, almost every gets an appearance in this one, and it’s quite a laugher.  Enjoy the fun!  [Mind you, this has been written at like 1 AM, so I could be a wee bit off on my translations…I’m tired.]

Go past the jump for some semi-gravure images of the four main girls, courtesy of this OVA, too.  Yes, consider that my ‘lure’.
