I enjoyed every bit of it and it also got me into Melty Blood, so to each their own

I second this opinion

It truly is a matter of "to each their own", though.

Most Japanese Higurashi fans, having played Higurashi themselves, dislike the anime adaptation immensely because of how inferior it is to the source material, apparently, but there isn't much translation of those here, so the anime is thus propped up.

Those of us who've played all 5 routes and read the amazing story that is Tsukihime in visual novel form, along with Kagetsu Tohya, dislike the anime for the same reason - it doesn't give off the same sort of awesomeness as the source material. Considering how many of us actually liked the other routes than Arc, and loved the music and fight scenes very much, to have these things erased from the anime (jesus, the fights were fail. Where's my hundreds of different animals/huge crabs/musclebound light-speed Nero? Where's my blood-sword SHIKI? Where's my Akiha hair attack and her background story? Where were ANY of the background stories of the maids and everyone? What about Sacchin's death at the hands of Shiki? I mean, come on.)

Also, Red Demon God should have somehow gotten in the anime. They left out so much that it's almost criminal.

You're forgetting that they killed any chance of something like a Kagetsu Tohya or Melty Blood anime.

I'm not forgetting it. I thought everyone knew that.

Hmm, I feel like I've posted this here before...

EDIT 2:
But hey, aren't they making that Kara No Kyoukai OVA? Maybe that'll be better. =)

No.

OVAs are direct to video. All SEVEN KnK movies are coming in theaters and ufotable produced, and so far look fucking awesome.
However, the first DVD isn't coming till late May, so we won't get subs till then.

[liger]

Ahhh, my bad. I didn't pay too much attention when my friend was telling me about it, so I just assumed OVA.

Good to hear it looks really awesome.

I'll look forward to it.

I'm SO drooling over the Rakkyo stuff. I can't wait until May comes around to see the first subbed releases.

[Zyklon-C]

I'm just about to start watching Higurashi...
Can't quite believe that I haven't seen it already...
