Finished Season 1. A surprisingly happy ending, though the games do reveal a more tragic side to it ( Read more... )

Yaaay, I'm glad you enjoyed the first season ^^ . Just so you know, the second season is a good deal slower, and it does occasionally drag a bit. But it's the final "answer" arcs, so it's all worth it I think :) .

Also, the animation budget seems to get a big boost in the second season too @_@ . It's really pretty.

Anyways, yeah, Higurashi is pretty much the ONLY violent series I can take. I did squirm a lot during some murders. ...and the nail scene. ....the nail scene ................... ouuuuuuuch. (god dammit mafia families!)

The nail scene wasn't that bad...some of the extra details in the first season's second-last arc were completely unnecessary. Like Satoko...*facedesk*

But yeah, I was wondering how they would manage to elongate two answer arcs(and apparently an extra, exclusive one?) into 26 episodes.

The extra arc had to be made because their were quite a bit of extra information that was skipped in the first season. Not to mention some scenes.

Some of these things also appear in various other places of the second season.

Also, the answer arcs that are covered in the second season actually do ANSWER some things, so there actually is some things that they have to cover that just takes a bit.

There's also an extra little OVA called "Nekogoroshi-hen" which is mostly just for fun ;) . (Yay for cosplay punishment games!)

Sometime next year, there's going to be the "Rei" ova's that should be interesting. But as I understand it, they really are more of an "extra" sort of thing :) .
