I'm assuming, somewhat desperately, that this is some kind of test for the "When They Cry" works. If buying a premium edition of this might get me Higurashi, Kai, and the OVAs then I'll fork out the money to support the genre.

Can't say much about this anime myself, but I know one friend who will be extremely happy to hear this got licensed.

I'm curious - where were all you When They Cry lovers when Funi issued the rescue set? Apparently it didn't sell well, but I always see people clamoring for it now.

Staring lovingly at my Geneon release of When They Cry.

It was being released by genon usa in 30-40 dollar singles in 08 with 6 total most fans where either teenagers or in college. I supported the funimation box-set they released for 50$ to support a series I loved and it's shame it didn't sell well but singles/art-boxes died out that year due to the bubble popping. I will support this release to show my support for the franchise with hopes to see the rest of it over here legally.

Many of us had the Geneon release--which was, in fact, only half of the main story--and weren't going to buy the same product a second time. Which Funi then used as an excuse not to bring over new material like Kai, Rei, etc. that they could have marketed to the whole fanbase.

So is the hate for this show just fans of the VN pissing and moaning or do a lot of people unfamiliar with the VN hate it too?

Most of the hate I've seen seems to be from fans of the VN, but there is definitely hate from people viewing it on its own merits. |

How can I say this from being the fan-boy that I am, I like both the anime and the visual novel but they are so how can I word this so it makes sense.. Well Think of full metal alchemist and FMAB comparison. Deen did an okay job on the first arc of the story and It just went down hill from there on the way the first arc concluded. There was so much material to cover in the extras after each arc "tea party and ????" you unlock that are cannon parts of the story, DEEN really dropped the ball here. What makes the anime so decent is the voice actor roles that made some of the characters come to life but we have full voiced over ps3/psp ports now and those sprites/voices have been patched on the first four arcs of the PC game. I could ramble on about this however I'm a fan-boy of this series and there wouldn't be point in doing so lol |
