So after waiting a few days on patches, I finished up Higurashi Kai with the final arc, Matsuribayashi. And as usual, I didn’t buy it because the price point was too high. I used someone else’s copy. Now we move on to the usual discussion of the arc, including MangaGamer’s handling of it.
The usual. Not buying, too expensive (though they’ve dropped their prices a bit recently, this arc is still the usual price), will play someone else’s copy, expect a review after I read it which will be after patches come out.
Oh, and this is the final Kai arc, so everything by 07th Expansion except two arcs of Higurashi Rei is translated now. I’m hoping MG will pick up Rei and do the last two arcs as well, or that maybe the GameFAQs team that was working with Witch-Hunt on the Umineko Ep6 patch decides to pick it up. *Wink wink hint hint*
I actually finished reading this a couple of days ago, but I decided to put some priority on other things. I guess I don’t love my occasional reader as much as I really freaking wanted to play a damn video game for once. Damn near burned myself out on VNs thanks to Fate/stay night.
Anyway, as usual, I didn’t buy it. Too expensive for my tastes. I used someone else’s copy.
And again, not buying, too expensive for the missing content, etc. Impressions after I read it, blah blah, but I have to finish Fate/stay night first and I dunno when that will be.
As usual, I didn’t buy it, I just used someone else’s copy. I’m not paying the ridiculous price MG is asking for it. So yeah, some bonus content this time as I comment on the first anime series as well, since the two match up to this point in the VN release.
As usual, I won’t be buying given the high price tag and I’ll be using someone else’s copy. As good as Higurashi is and as much improvement as MangaGamer has made with their translation, it’s a hefty price tag for the amount of content, especially since they’re altering the soundtrack.
Anyway, as before, impressions will follow after I read it. I’ll be waiting on patches first.
So I finally read MangaGamer’s translation of Meakashi. I didn’t buy it myself (I find the price to be outrageous) so I used someone else’s copy. Just like last time, I patched it. Unfortunately, most of the patches haven’t made their way to the wiki yet and I don’t have links, so I can’t pass them around this time. You may find them with some Google effort, though.
I won’t be buying it given the ridiculous price, so I’ll simply be reading someone else’s copy. Anyway, know you know, and knowing is half the battle, etc.
From their main page:
“The information of the first answer arc of “Higurashi When They Cry”,
“Higurashi When They Cry Kai: Meakashi” is up!
We are planning to release each of the remaining chapters every month!”
As of this post, information is actually not available yet. However, this announcement serves to describe their future method of release for Kai.
I’m kinda ticked that they decided to split it up like this, but I guess it was too much to ask to get all of Kai done before February. A four-month release schedule seems a bit much, though. Hopefully, this will at least give them time to fix all of the glaring spelling and grammar errors of their first Higurashi release.
UPDATE: Info is up now.
MINOR UPDATE: A lot of people come here looking for patches. You can find them here:

The link is embedded in the post below, but most people leave without clicking it. I’ve made it easier for those of you who arrive here from search engines looking for it.
Well, I finished reading it. Took me about a week and a halfish of really buckling down. Not having much to do this week in the way of real life obligations helped, too. So now that I’m done with it, let’s discuss this a bit, shall we? I’ll try to keep it as spoiler free as possible.
