New kid Keiichi Maebara is settling into his new home of peaceful Hinamizawa village. Making quick friends with the girls from his school, he’s arrived in time for the big festival of the year. But something about this isolated town seems "off," and his feelings of dread continue to grow. With a gnawing fear that he’s right, what dark secrets could this small community be hiding?

Encoder's Notes
Now that’s a fitting anime for LoliKiller :3
This is a remake so you don’t need to watch the old seasons. Just dive into it!

Edit: Bastards lied to us. It’s not a reboot, it’s actually a sequel disguised as one. The “true” title of this season is “Higurashi – Gou” which wasn’t revealed until after the second episode aired. The post has been updated to reflect that and Dual Audio remuxes have been added. Sotsu Hype!
