Wait, wasn’t something like this already announced last month? AnimeNation previously mentioned a “Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Gaiden: Neko Koroshi Hen” OVA, as some sort of bonus DVD that Japanese consumers who purchase the entire TV series on DVD would be eligible to receive. But now they’re the same ones informing us that a second series has formally been announced on the Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni (When Cicadas Cry) anime website. If this is indeed a full-fledged TV series, and plans are still on for the OVA, it means that next year we might have two new Higurashi animes to drool over.

You can imagine that details about the new series are scarce to say the least, so for now I’ll just leave you with a little something that should make you wanna watch the first Higurashi, if you haven’t already. I think my pedo comrade might be doing just that right now… Don’t really know for sure, last time I saw him he was running away with three DVDs stuffed full of sono kono ano, and this was also on them.
