| 1:49pm | Umineko no Naku Koro ni – Visual Novel 1 “Legend of the Golden Witch” Review |  | | | If you consider it, I said I would do this review about a year and a half ago but never actually got around to doing it as I never actually bothered trying to translate anything.

| 6:32am | Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei - 04 |  | | | Hanyuu’s past is revealed and Rika must choose the world that she desires. Impressions: Well I must say the ending of this arc wasn’t exactly what I had expected.

| 6:52pm | Higurashi no Naku Koro ni - 54 | | | | Pure awesomeness. I really have to say, that this OVA couldn’t have been done better.

| 7:01pm | Lyrics: Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei ED Manazashi by anNina | | | | Another wonderful Higurashi no Naku Koro ni song by anNina. I just love how the lyrics describe Rika’s feelings of committing sin during Saikoroshi-hen. Being the 07th Expansion fan that I am I have translated this set of lyrics in addition to the usual transliteration. Please enjoy. Romaji... | | |
| 11:02am | Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei 4 | | | | The Higurashi OVA has been really enjoyable so far, and, unlike many other OVA episodes, it manages to justify itself as a clever extension to the plot and themes of the tv anime. If for, example, it had simply been that Rika had been pointlessly launched into a new world of recurring troubles after... | | |
