When They Cry: Kira (2011–2012) User Reviews

Meh, disappointing..

When they cry in my honest opinion is the greatest anime of all time, however season 3 (Kira) is really not very good whatsoever. It kind of made me upset it was even made to begin with, after ending such a beautiful series adding these episodes was not needed at all, if I remember correctly there is only one episode I enjoyed, the rest were all such fan-service, which I am not a fan of.

These episodes are stupid, have nothing to do with the main plot of When they cry and make no sense, they taint When they cry's perfection a little in my opinion and should honestly be avoided.

Wow! Great Fan fict.. I mean Spin-Off

First of all, this is nothing near a horror genre so if you're just a horror anime fan, I can understand you not liking it. But if you love higurashi because of the characters and you want some more comedy out of these characters, I can recommend this to you. My first impression is WTF!? It seems more fan fiction rather than a spin off. And not to forget the fan services of the show. Unlike the main series, this show contains many fan fictions (bouncing breasts, pantie shots and etc.) This may seem very weird and out of place if you remember those characters as a character from a horror show. I guess that the best way to enjoy this show is to watch this AFTER you watch Higurashi When they cry Rei because Rei is less heavy and more lighter so you will get used to the transitions. But my opinion, I enjoyed it a lot, even if it's very weird.

This is so cursed that it is so good

I'm just... eerm... how do I put it... well um.... this spin off is extremely funny and has nothing to do with the Canon story, but I feel like some of the scenes has gone way too far... yet it's weird because you find it to be hilarious and enjoyable at the end, let's just hope this isn't canon.... and just for fans service.
