Thought I'd start this thread early. The starting date is listed as 02.07.2009 but I am not sure if it is confirmed or not ( I am too afraid of spoilers to search around too much ). This will obviously be of great interest to those who liked Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. It is made by the same people. This also is an adaption of a visual novel.

I am currently reading the visual novel ( a complete translation patch recently came out( for everything of the game that is currently out ), and it is great so far. But lets not discuss the visual novel in this thread. Anyway, I am really looking forward to this.
