This episode is considered canon to the series and is definitely worth a watch, even if you do not watch the rest of Kira. Episode 4, unlike the other three, is a relatively serious one-shot mainly about Hanyuu and Rika. I won't spoil the ending of the episode, but it elicited more than a few chuckles from me. The third episode is a comedic side-story about Mion, Shion, and Rena all vying for Keiichi's love, and it manages to have that signature Higurashi comedy that we all know and love. In my opinion, where this OVA really shines is in the third and fourth episodes. Episode 2 is a parody of the magical girl genre, and fulfills its job well. If you don't like fanservice, then simply skip episode 1. The first episode is pretty much the only episode with immense amounts of fanservice(other episodes only have minor fanservice in the fact that Shion's breasts occasionally Gainax), and that is the entire point of the episode. Next, I've noticed that many of the hateful reviews of Kira are by people who have only seen the first episode. think they need a reprieve? Do you really think they deserve to go through such hell and not live happy lives afterwards?
Over the course of the series, we have all seen just how much suffering the characters have gone through. And this fact is exactly why I am giving this an 8/10. But then again, Higurashi is in no way about the gore it's about the characters and what they go through. The reason for this is that people give this show way too much hate.įirst of all, anyone that watches Higurashi for the gore will not particularly like this OVA. This is likely the only review I will every write on this site, and it's going to be a fairly brief one.
