Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei

Kinda old news, but somehow I never saw it till now so I’ll post it up here. Looks like some dates for the Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei OVAs. So at the very least 5 episodes to look forward too. I can only hope WinD will be able to sub these, I don’t even mind if they wait the extra month for the BlueRay versions.

ANN has a really good post on the details of the OVA’s including what to expect from the episodes. Sounds to me like of it will be more lighthearted fun then the nail ripping action you’d expect from the show.
