Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai Specials

Well it doesnt look like there's any reviews here so ill just make one then. Watch these After you finish watching Kai. These specials are mostly 20-40 seconds long so you cant really expect much. They are mainly short clips of either a scene in the anime or just something totally random, and they all have some kinda joke to them. I couldn't get all of them since there were no subs but that's pretty much the main idea. Not exactly worth seeing even if you're a Higurashi fan but if you really want to then sure.

Unless you have watched Higurashi no Naku Koro ni and Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai, you shouldn't watch these. Story: It's basically just abunch of mini stories that are only afew seconds each. Art: I love the style of the art, so I gave it a 10. Sound: It was okay. The voice actors are the same, which is good. But the ending theme was just a sound effect. Characters: The same as the Higurashi characters, so pretty cool. Enjoyment and overall: I guess it was okay. Watch it if your bored, it takes alittle less then 24 minutes to watch *I think*. THANKS FOR READING! :D

This is only 20-50 seconds of parodied scenes in Higurashi.. Some from first season, some from second season.. A bit spoiler for you.. Story : Some are fanservice, some are just short scene with different conversation in the real series, some are something like behind-the-scene scene, some are scene-that-not-exist-in-TV scene, and some are scene that maybe hard to understand, even you already watch all episodes of Higurashi.. It's funny if you already watch Higurashi, but maybe NOT funny if you hadn't watch the series before.. Art : Not too bad, but not too good either.. Sound : Nothing special.. Really.. Character : Some scene will expose the "hidden" feeling of some character.. (and that's the funny part..) Enjoyment : You'll enjoy it if you watch the series before.. Overall : Don't watch this if you HAVE NOT watch the series before... You won't understand (all of it)..

Higurashi n Naku Koro ni Kai Specials is a love letter to Higurashi no Naku Koro ni and Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai. It takes little snips from those animes and changes the context into blooper scenes. It's basically Higurashi's outtakes and silly ideas on full display. It consists of 24 episodes lasting from 20 seconds to 1 minute per episode. It's not that long, and it will take roughly 12 to 20 minutes to watch it all. The best part is that it's surprisingly pretty funny sometimes, especially if you understand Japanese humour well. Additionally, you can tell the animators had fun creating this, and I enjoyed watching it; you probably will too. One last thing before we end this review. Make sure you've seen Higurashi no Naku Koro ni and Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai before watching this, or the jokes won't make any sense. 7.5/10 for the funnies

Gonna keep this review nice and short, like these specials. Overall, not much to say. These short specials range from 20 to 40 seconds long and don't really offer anything in terms of value except for the jokes, gags and punchlines. Think of these as bloopers if you will. Unless you're a big Higurashi fan (like me) and want to get the most of what you can get out of this franchise or you're a completionist, I really don't see any reason as to why you'd want to or feel the need to watch these shorts. They're hardly memorable and some jokes didn't really land for me personally. But hey, it's more Higurashi, and you're not losing too much of your time by watching this anyway. Don't expect too much out of this. The quality of the visuals and audio is the same as the main series with the same characters. It's alright. 6/10. I can't really rate this objectively so this entire review is mostly subjective.

Well, these shorts are just goofy little bits from 'Kai', bloopers if you will. They're okay enough, though if they're mean't to be funny, they really didn't make me laugh (except maybe the Banana one with Akasaka and Irie, but that sort of just a chuckle for me. There's not really much to say about these, they're just real short little clips of the show. Animation looks fine, sound is fine, there really isn't any music for these, and there's only small little stories for each of these. If you're a hardcore enough fan of Higurashi, then I guess you can find a little more value in these (it doesn't really help that I found out about these a bit after I watched Kai, so maybe I didn't get some of the jokes that I could've gotten if I DID watch it right after, but whatever, it wasn't THAT long ago anyways.) These are just...eh, Higurashi 'Funny Moments' and nothing more.
