The Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Matsuri (roughly translates to When The Cicadas Cry : Festival) was released early this year, and as usual some ppl ripped the OP onto youtube. Quite a fantastic find lol.
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni started out as a Seinen Horror/Mystery Harem visual novel written for the PC on the Onscripter engine. It was adapted into a 26 episode anime by Studio Deen who adapted the characters into lolis. Or rather, killer-lolis. The second season is now slated for a July release, not April.
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni is unique in the sense that the story is splitted into 4 question arcs and 4 answer arcs. When a question arc ends, the story resets and any characters killed are “reincarnated” for the next arc. The questions posed in the earlier question arcs can be solved by forming theories from clues provided by subsequent question and answer arcs.
The first season of the anime covers all the question arcs and the first two answer arcs. It is speculated that the 2nd season, which will be named Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai (roughly translated to When the Cicadas Cry : Solution) will be a remake of the later question arcs, and will cover the last two answer arcs.
The PS2 game Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Matsuri will contain all first eight of the original arcs, including a final summation arc that is unique to the PS2 version.
Anyway, enjoy the OP.
