Rating: 7/10
Impressions:
Some people may have mentioned that this is an anime-original episode, but I’m pretty sure it isn’t. It’s based on one of the TIPs of the actual game, with a few modifications, like how in the game Ooishi is absent and his role is achieved by another character, and how Rena doesn’t actually appear. If I’m wrong, please let me know, or if you don’t believe me, try having a look at this link. AS FOR the actual episode, I dunno whether I enjoyed it because I genuinely liked it or because it’s just a continuation of Higurashi. The quality may be higher, but the quality of the video file I watched is not so good, so I can’t really tell.
