Website for the new Higurashi's been updated with a character page, if you want a closer look at the character designs

I won't judge the designs until I see them go crazy and murderous.

They have all the smug mouths.
Is the new higurashi going to be about Outbreak part 2 or is that dead in the water with the old company.

I'll post the previous ones for comparison's sake, I guess. Starting with season 1's.
It's a new adaptation.

It'll be a remake of the original series

Can someone into nipspeak? This was written on the official site. According to Google translate, Tokyo MX will broadcast 13 episodes of the original series (that would be the end of Tatarigoroshi-hen)
I hope I am right, and it's not about the new series being 13 episodes only.

And the Kai designs.
I'm pretty sure that's for a reairing of the old anime. The first 13 episodes of it cover Onikakushi, Watanagashi, and Tatarigoroshi.

Yeah, they're just rebroadcasting the old anime next week since 4/9 was the date the original anime aired

I just noticed Mion's necktie is green in the Deen anime. Kind of a weird decision.

Yeah, from what I can assume the new adaptation will probably take over its timeslot so it'd be something like
>April to July: Higurashi episodes 1-13
>July to October: New Higurashi adaptation

>They have all the smug mouths
They are 80s kids, everyone was smugger back in those days.

I'm kind if glad they're re-airing the old anime in anticipation, it makes it feel less like they're trying to brush it under the rug.

ATX is currently re-airing S2

Does anyone know if it'll adapt only Onikakushi or if it'll adapt the other question arcs too?

Might as well go all the way and post Rei and Kira's, too.
No idea. We've only seen parts of Onikakushi (and even then, it's all stuff you see in the first episode of the Deen anime besides what looks like the tag scene) so far.

And lastly, Kira's designs. Outbreak used the same designs from Kai.

Aaand done. I probably killed off what little this thread had going, but whatever.

As long as Higurashi doesn't get a gacha, then this anime can hardly do any "new damage"
Who am I kidding, with all the WTC pachinko, there is bound to be one

pachinko vs gacha, which one is worse?

Pachinko, since that's where old franchises go to die.

Her :3 face is pretty cute

It's a bit too extreme for me. If it was shaped more like the mouths in the original I wouldn't mind, though.

literally everything has pachinko

They've already done some collaborations with mobile games, a WTC gacha is just a matter of time.

>No giant hands
Ruined.

Looking at the old vs new side by side, the difference in forehead size is remarkable.

The old pre-Madhouse Kaiji pachinko where Kaiji was voiced by Kazuki Yao and Ootsuki was voiced by Chafurin was kino.
