Hirugashi has already had an anime released on April 4, 2006, which comprised of 26 episodes. Hirugashi back in 2006 set the bar for every mystery/horror anime.

The reboot was supposed to be released in the month of July but it has been postponed to the month of October. Looking at other reports the anime will air in the first week of October.

Higurashi When They Cry Reboot Plot
The story focuses on Keiichi Maebara who has just moved to a small town named Hinamizawa. He is making new friends, Is happy with his new school life and is enjoying his life to its fullest. When he got to know that a murder has taken place in the village in the past. When he asks his friend about the details they won’t tell him anything and his curiosity and uneasiness increases when at the town’s yearly festival he got to know that for last 4 years at the night of the festival there has been a murder and it is because of the curse of Oyashiro-Sama. It is a punishment for those who have supported the Dam project that would have put Hinamizawa underwater.
Higurashi has been a cult classic horror anime and it has a major involvement in upbringing the horror/mystery genre of anime. Another thing that was so good about the original anime was its Opening song. That OP still makes people shiver with excitement. We hope that the reboot lives up to the expectations. The trailer that was released on March 21 has given the fans lots of hope and everyone is looking forward to this.
